My visit to the doctor

Hello World!

Today no uni for me… everyone in my class is at their highest stress peak these days with assignment, work placement report deadline added to that: the exam and dissertation stress

My previous post reflected the morosity of these days (know you kinda tired to hear all these complaints and fuss LOL)  Today was a hectic day very speedy (LOL am sure you must be thinking: another depressing post: p)

Since last month my eyes allergy  got worse when I happen to be in direct contact with cement and dad took an appointment and it was today …
With l the exam and dissertation frenzy wave, I happen to forget and woke up late and missed the 09.00 appointment… no need to tell about Dad fury when he came to fetch me home

Arriving there around 10.15, it was already fully packed and have to stand (thought was going to faint at some point in time)….
It was only at 12.30 that it was finally my turn, when seeing my eyes, the first thing the doctor told me: YOU HAVENT LISTEN TO MY WARNING… innocently I replied I tried but my eyes were just too irritated …so began the reprimanded part blabla I was careless etc (he too have the same eyes allergy )

So began the eyes test with the scolding again cos wasn’t seeing straight or up or down or the right way in the machine…well believe me it was not cool to be treated like a kid
The outcomes of this visit to the lovely doctor were

1. have to change my Spectacle lens (am becoming blind as a bat)
2. next warning: hospitalization in clinic with eyes injection (wanna cry hope was just trying to scare me)

1. get to see him again in 2 years

after that dad and I rushed to Port Louis and there it was kinda hell as dad was in such a hurry that if  Thomas Beaudoin

or some Armani models

were in front of me would not have notice (maybe not :p)
else :

• recently I discover the Twitterdom which has now become my main media diet for latest news and media resources

• my little cousin of 3 years old who is also my morning alarm (for she shouts every morning from her window the names of my sis and I waking us), came to play at my place…

so this was my Wednesday
hope you had a great day
cheers

World Aids Day

Hello World!

Tomorrow will be World Aids Day.

 

 

I won’t be recalling you the high rates of Aids patients per country (and dislike the stereotype image of Aids=Africa) as Aids is everywhere it doesn’t look at your skin color, your social status or your persona it just affects everyone

So on the Aids World day, let pay a tribute to all those people who are affected by this virus, having courage or some losing it in this long painful fight

where you are somehow blacklisted in society where most people turn their back to you, isolating you or running away when seeing you or afraid of even touching or using the objects of Aids patient.

As the French would say: c’est le regard des gens qui tue

Most of us don’t really care cos its not part of our life or affecting our family or relatives and we feel somewhat safe in our little bubble but Aids is faceless we don’t really know when, where, in whom the virus is incubating

Better stand up with them in this fight and give them our moral support and try to reduce the span of HIV patients

   By having protected sex

Mutual trust and fidelity towards both partners

Using clean syringe

Be honest to your partner if you have Aids (there was a guy who cheated on his fiancée and discovered he had Aids afterwards but he is going to hide this from her fiancée and go ahead with the marriage and due to confidentiality statement, my friend could not inform his fiancée)

Today, we are having better treatment but hopefully one day someone will discover a Vaccine

 

 

 

 

On this 1 December, let us light the Aids candle for all these people…

Revision the good and bad pal of some weeks

Hello World!

While reading Morinn post , I realise  that its high time for me to start my revision as in 2 weeks i.e on 10 December, have exams...

Don’t know about you but when it comes to revision, am always lazy LOL

Always when have managed to this very will to go and revise then something more pleasant will tempt me like a nice movie on TV

or my sis will come in my room and will start talking like a parrot and my very bad lazy nature...

How I usually revise:

Mostly at night stopping at 23.30 as revision will put me KO really can’t sleep for some time and then wake up at 2 or 3am to revise (really need to sleep)

In the morning there is always the TV or my virtual pet on FB temptation; so revise for a very very few moments LOL (am a hopeless case i know: p)

Here are some tips on how to revise some teachers gave me and my class:

Chemistry teacher - Make a planning and a timetable on all subjects you have to revise

Chemistry teacher As you study, jot the main ideas (in your own words) on some paper this help you in reminding key words and things

Psychology lecturer – always take a pause of 5-10 mins as you just can’t keep revising and over absorbing things

Picture what you are learning nonstop as a dense traffic where all will be jammed and will be waiting for their turn to be absorbed (now if you are a geek or a genius: p)

The pause will help for allowing fluidity in your brain for better assimilation

My advice: your mind should not be restless and preoccupied thinking of other things

Adopt the zen attitude (i usually listen to ambient music like Enya )

this helps me to calm down and tranquilize my mind and self or do something that usually help you to relax (some like to study while watching TV or listening to music)

That’s some few tips I got....hope they will kinda help you...

To all those who have exams and are going through revision: all the best

Cheers

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone

Hello World!

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone

Even here we don’t celebrate it and have little knowledge of this festival, from what I have read and seen on TV, I know that Thanksgiving has a lot of symbolism especially in the US.

Originally, this was a harvest festival that the colony held out to thank God for helping them faced the harsh winter.

Today, I believed that Thanksgiving Day is a family gathering day where people find time in their so busy life schedule to grant their family, friends and relatives some of their time and themselves for a day or few days. Think that’s what wonderful in this festival the fact that it brings people together, joy, happiness and the sense of sharing.

The traditional homemade Thanksgiving menu often features turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes and pumpkin pie. (Wish I was invited in such a meal LOL)

which the women usually would be preparing

while the men would be watching an American football match on TV (if am not mistaken LOL)

Hope one day will celebrate Thanksgiving .

Enjoy yourself and have a nice Thanksgiving feast (which am sure will be very good LOL lucky you)

Cheers

When warning rings at your doorbell

Hello World!

Since last week. A wave (or tsunami) of

demotivation, laziness and stress swept me away and am still dwelling in it trying to surface out of this wave...

But today think I dive back again it this abyss

Today all my classmates got a nice dissertation notice by email that remind us of many things that can’t deny are really important and that ring your alarm bells in you ...

Maybe it was meant to wake us from our lazy sleepy bubble with a big bucket of cold water

And it really worked as today am more stressed, over worried....

Hopefully my muse will come back as am in big need of inspiration as am having blank mind and can’t even concentrate to write a few words...

I really hope you are in a better mood than me

Cheers

Wedding

Hello World!

On Sunday, my cousin got married....

So let me start at the beginning....

Early morning my sister woke up early (very rare on a Sunday) to go to the hair stylist...the marriage was scheduled at 13.30....

So after the ritual blabla of getting ready) we finally left home at 12.30

Like usual there was a dense traffic on the road so begin the time of road rage where every driver was on the nerves

horning like some mad people some swearing or starting to lose control when seeing some stupid drivers having obstruct the passage with their vehicle causing more traffic...

Well after 20 minutes we finally were able to move forward....

We arrive there around 13.25 and the bride was already there and not the bridegroom....

So after some times, the bridegroom arrived and the ceremony started...

It began with an abrupt start...

After some minutes, the priest seems quite lost going through his little notepad many times

and taking a pause of 5—10 minutes each times and everybody in the hall was kinda lost as the priest....

I find it funny LOL especially when the priest present the mic in front of my cousin to repeat and when he is about to talk he just snatched it away LOL

and I nearly dozed off there just sitting there (I forgot my mobile home) and was feeling hungry, thirsty

And then my little cousin of 3 yrs old came to sit on my knees saying aloud that I had stolen her cake LOL...

And suddenly the wedding ended and no one even knows and was glancing at each other wondering when it ended...

But the bride and bridegroom were really beautiful and so happy :- ) think that’s what matter

So that was my Sunday at my cousin wedding....

Today I went to the wedding reception; it was held in some kind of ranch....so like yesterday, there was again the  ritual blabla of getting ready ...so at 17.00 everyone was ready and headed to the party...

Yesterday the bride was dressed in the Indian way

but today surprise surprise she wears the traditional white bride dress and was looking very pretty

The place was great nice view and nature surrounding you (unfortunately didn’t bring my mob or camera) and the food was also great....

I really had a nice time from Friday to today :-p

My dream marriage:

well always wanted it to be held on a cliff

with a built-in tent

With torch all the way long

With very few guests all dressed in white

I, wearing a long white dress with flowers in my hair

And my future hubby also in white

And then partying afterwards on the beach around a bonfire

Anyway its will be in 6 years that gonna marry so better return back to reality :-p

Cheers

Falling into the trap of demotivation

Hello World!

Since Wednesday I fell into the trap of demotivation and

still misled under its spell stress has overtook me and now the result is that I have no motivation, am down and don’t feel like doing anything....and the 3-4 kilos I managed to take after so much efforts since months have just vanished (one of the offset of my being stress=losing weight)

When I send a message to a pal on FB she too told me she’s in the same trap as me :- (

So tonight I decided it was high time I move forward…

The times am damn demotivated and stressed, I prefer not to do any work cos it was useless as don’t have inspiration

Thus I prefer to take a small pause

 

and try to refill the batteries of motivation

by thinking (or dreaming) about nice escapade like :

Being on a desert island (even am on island LOL) sleeping in a ‘hamac’

Being giving a treat in a spa

With essence

and flowers around

or thinking doing great hiking trip

so place now to the zen attitude

and the no stress motto

 

Cheers
