Jap mayo is so evil...yet SO good

Woke up feeling like crap, tummy was sore and had no appetite (which is very unusual for me since i love food haha), still sore now but not too bad. The annoying thing is that i've been doing a bit of reading the last few days about gastro problems, so i'm sitting here all paranoid about all the nasty things it could be, even tho i know deep down that it prolly something innoculous, just a simple upset tummy, maybe due to the jap mayo i had last night with my dinner that has prolly expired long ago (damn japanese, ever heard of putting expiry dates on perishable foods? i would throw it out but it such a large tub, don't wanna waste it...hehehe). Perhaps it is also all the rich oily junk food i've been scoffing down since i'm at home for the week, i eat pretty healthy in melb (don't buy junk food) so perhaps my tummy not used to such rich food...

Had this grand plan at the beginning of my hols to do lots of study. Mostly i've done alright, spent lots of time sitting down and trying to read, but to be honest my heart wasn't really into it and i've prolly forgotten most of the stuff i've read...had a bit of a CBF attitude lately...dunno why...maybe bc exams aren't close enough to be really stressful yet and plus i'd rather be in melb atm...i miss her...

The Sword of Damocles

Random tidbit for the day...

The Sword of Damocles
An object that figures in a legend about an actual Greek nobleman, Damocles. According to the story, Damocles frequently expressed his awe at the power and apparent happiness of his king. The king, tired of such flattery, held a banquet and seated Damocles under a sword that was suspended from the ceiling by a single hair—thus demonstrating that kingship brought with it fears and worries as well as pleasures.

Labour Day

Had a nice long weekend...Labour Day and all, tho dunno what labour it is meant to be rewarding us for. I for one haven't done any labour at all...haha...anyway, on a very hot monday, went for BBQ with uni friends. Didn't do much, just ate some food, played some cards games and PS2. Man i suck at fighting games, couldn't beat Josh in abt a dozen games of Marvel vs Capcom even tho he never ever plays PS2 or any games in general...luckily i was able to restore some pride by kicking his ass in Virtua Tennis 2...and i would've killed him in Winning Eleven too if he had the guts to play me :P anyway, thot i'd put up some pics...the 2nd one is a bit weird, my mouth was full of food and i didn't really want to show everyone what i was eating...haha

Orchidectomy

That is the new 'word of the day'...what does it mean u may ask? It means the surgical removal of the testicles...I was planning to go see one done today but decided I'd rather sleep-in...haven't had a sleep-in mid-week in a long time. By the way, orchidectomies used to be done as a way to control prostate cancer, not because the guy cheated on his significant other :P

Haven't updated in a while but nothing of interest to say, just my usual routine....wake up, eat breakfast while watching an episode of either Family Guy, Friends, Scrubs or SATC on my computer, goto hospital, bum around, pretend I'm not completely stupid, go home, eat dinner while watching more stuff on my computer, study, shower, sleep, rinse and repeat...hahah...

Was pretty close to taking up soccer (my great love) again after bumping into an old teammate and senior classmate, but I figured I'd rather save the money and time and spend it on more productive pursuits...eg gf and study...can just get my weekly dose of exercise at the gym...tho the temptation was strong...can't explain why I love it so much, not like I'm great at it and the training is tough and monotonous...but i've played it for over half my life and it was awfully hard to decide to give it up end of last year, esp since i didn't go out with the bang i'd have liked, since it was a shitty season riddled with numerous ankle and foot injuries at the most inopportune times. But i guess i gotta grow up sometime and start facing realities...that if i don't do enough study, i'm gonna regret it later on...
