Life's Boring

I need some excitement.

First Day of Uni

Well, today was the first day of uni, or night I should say. I have my whole time-table after the sun sets, 6 to 9 pm Monday to Thursday. I had the privilege  of bringing KY along with me to lecture, it was more because I needed someone with me just in case my back gives way again.

It was alright for a first lecture in Quantitative Methods, pretty small lecture, met some new friends. All of them are like working and much older. I feel like the baby in class. But I do have an advantage over them that I'm more familiar with the whole studying thing, cos they've lost touch already. One of them even has a kid. I can't imagine myself doing this if I had a kid, I rather save the energy for sex than go to school, unless I really needed it.

Oh well, it's gonna be another boring fun session tomorrow night.

Stephy In Pain

The past 2 days have been a nightmare for me. On Tuesday morning, I checked my uni stuff and thought that I had block lecture that day, so I took a shower and was getting ready to go to uni. I was bending down to open up my laptop and it hit me.

A severe pain shot into my lower back that I had to sit on the floor. I thought it was just a stiff back so I decided to change into a loose pair of jeans instead of wearing skinnies. I got up to the room and the pain came again, a second time. I couldn't bend down to take off my jeans and I had to scream for KC to come help me. I lied down for awhile thinking I was better and made my way down to the kitchen.

Little did I know that the worse was yet to come. The third time the pain killed me and send me crumbling to the ground with tears and screams. I just laid there and couldn't move. I tried to get a doctor to come see me but nobody will come. I called my chiropractor and asked what I should do. So I followed his instructions and put ice pack on my back. After awhile I showly moved to the couch where i laid there the rest of the day, not able to move.

I was told if I couldn't get up to go to the toilet I needed to be sent to the hospital. So I struggled to the toilet hanging onto KC like a dead corpse, Peeing was never this painful as I couldn't put my weight on myself.

I needed painkillers and muscle relaxants very badly so I struggled to the clinic with the help of KC and KY. When we got there I couldn't get out of the car. It was just too painful. I couldn't move at all. The doc suggested I go to the hospital instead. After getting a referral letter from the doc we went over to the nearest hospital where they got me out of the car on a stretcher. I waited for about over an hour before she gave me some painkillers and muscle relaxants. I fell asleep while KC and the rest went to get supper and refuel the car. They actually bought dumplings for me but the nurse wouldn't allow them to feed me. We waited till the next morning to see the doctor. I was able to walk but with some help, and got discharged with prescription for painkillers. I have to lie in bed for the next 2 days. I'm typing tjis as i'm lying in bed. The pain has to be gone before I can see a physio therapist.

My back is really sore after lying for so long.

I've been quite busy the past few days settling uni stuff. Cos I was suppose to register on 2 July, but I didn't check on the school website the confirmed registration date, and I had to pick up my dad's friend from the airport. I found out the next morning that I missed registration, so I called immediately to ask what I should do and the Indian guy on the phone was SO not helpful. In fact he was being quite bitchy. He asked if I applied for late registration and I said no cos I was sick and couldn't step out of the house. He went on like this, "Oh, this is bad. If you don't have approval for late enrolment you might not be able to study." I got really upset and started screaming at him, and he put me on hold which he eventually did not pick up again cos he "CUP MY DIAN WEI"!!!! That bastard!!

So never mind that shit head, I called again and this NICE ang moh picked up and he said, "Oh no problem just give me a sec I'll see what I can do." See the difference! This is service standard. You have to be polite and keep your caller calm at all times. Obviously the previous guy doesn't know what he's doing. I didn't wait for him to get back to me cos I just drove down to uni to get it settled, faster that way.

At uni was another disaster. I went to student services, who referred me to the faculty, who then referred me to international student centre. When I got there I had to wait in the queue for quite long cos they are the slowest department in uni, with only ONE person mending the counter. After a long wait, another person emerged and TRIED to help me. She asked the same thing about late enrolment and I said its a very last minute thing, how would I know I will be so sick and need to apply for late enrolment. Then she had that very BO CHAP face and the "you deserve it" look, and casually said, "Oh if you don't have approval you are not guaranteed a place and have to wait till the next in-take." I really couldn't control anymore and started crying and screaming at her infront of everyone else. Including KC.

She even pointed into the letter to said that it's printed here, the fine print. STUPID BITCH! Seriously, who the hell she think she is. She even said she will try her best to help me and I told her off and said that she doesn't look helpful at all. You know how she answer me?!?!?! "You want me to cry with you to show my sincerity?" FUCK HER! BLOODY BITCH!!!! So FUCKING RUDE!

So I had no choice but to apply for late enrolment via email and hope that they will approve it, too bad. After all it was my own fault that I didn't check the date. But still she didn't have to be so crude right?! She said if I can provide a valid MC she can help me to get it approved. So the next morning I went to see the chiropractor, which I already had an appointment before all this nonsense. Fixed my back and got my MC. The doc was so kind and said he was willing to rig up a full letter for me if they didn't accept the MC. So I brought the MC down to uni, and guess what? The same bitch saw me and let me cut the queue, not only that they approved my late enrolment without an MC.

So everything was settled, my back and uni. HAHA!!! Putting me through all that shit for nothing.

BTW, that bitch looked like and sounded like that woman from <Just Follow Law>. You know the one that goes "need black & white, no black & white cannot". But since she was so nice and helped me get it approved, I was actually thinking of sending some thank you flowers. Well she did smile at me when I came back the next day. You think I should??
