Yay! My period is here before my trip! I'm glad cuz this means I'll have a hassle-free trip abroad. I usually feel terrible + lousy and will be in so much pain on the first day of my period and I alwiz feel tired from walking. And upon arrival in Macau on the first day of the trip, we'll have to walk alot to the China borders and take the bus to Guangzhou, according to Ivy. That made me so worried. I wanna enjoy my trip and I don't wanna be a spoilsport by saying things like "Can we rest? I have period cramps" or "Can we stop by for toilet? I need to change" or something to that extreme. Haha! So it prompted me to seek help...
This was the first time I went to a doctor to request help to either hurry up my period or delay it until after my trip. And Dr. Soh (my SA8000Live ultrasound customer) said that I'll get my period soonest probably by Monday (today) if not later. But it really depends on individual, he added. Another option is to delay it until I get back but he said since the trip is pretty long, he'd advise against it as contraceptives have side effects like breakouts or something. Like he said earlier, it really does depend on individuals.
I saw him on Friday (August 17th, 2007) and he gave me pills to take for 3 consecutive days till Monday. Before I took the pills, I felt some sort of pain in the lower abdominal area (like how I usually feel a day before my period arrives). So I was sorta like debating to take the pills or just to let my period come naturally. Hmmm... but then, I didn't have much time to gamble. So I took it on Friday midnite and Saturday evening.
My period did come... on Saturday night but only slightly. But the excruciating pain was almost too much to bear and though I was in so much pain, I sorta joked with my sister, Esther, that luckily I was going thru period pains now rather than enduring the pain and hassle during my trip. And I didn't know to continue taking the pills or not since my period was already here though only slightly. So I didn't. On Sunday, it still didn't feel like my ordinary monthly ordeal. The flow wasn't heavy (which was weird on the first two days of my menses). But I'm so glad that today it's in full bloom. =) So Dr. Soh was right after all, my period will be here today - Monday. Hopefully I'll be clear by Saturday at 4 in the morning (oh so Gwen!) cuz that's when our KLIA limo is scheduled to pick us up from Ivy's place. Things are surely picking up from here on... yeahhh!!! ;)
In exactly one week and three days' time, I'll be flying off to Macau via Air Asia with my mates, Ivy, Chin Yew, Michelle and Fung Ying, embarking on our plan-it-yourself free-and-easy 9-days-8-nights tour from Macau to Guangzhou to Hong Kong and back to Macau. Phew! All those many words cramped in juz one loooong sentence! :P
I am so excited even as I am typing this entry now! This is the first time I'm travelling so far with my friends. So far, we've only done Malacca, PD and Genting together, if I remember correctly. We've already exchanged our RMs for RMBs and HKDs. All in all, we changed RM13,000 in total (RM2500 for Ivy and me respectively and RM8000 for Chin Yew and Michelle). Chin Yew and I met up at Mid Valley after his work to exchange currencies. I almost freaked out when I saw the large sum of money Chin Yew was carrying with him the whole time (Ivy's RM2500 was with him too).
I arrived early at MV so I went jalan-jalan and tried on clothes and camwhored in the fitting room! Hehe!
This Topshop dress looks nice but the top is quite low and wide. Plus, the price isn't right! :P
So we changed RM6000 for RMB12,820 (RMB3205 for each of us) and RM7000 for HKD15,625 (I'm not sure how much HKD we have cuz Chin Yew's safekeeping that currency while I'm holding on to the RMBs). We're armed with money for shopping, massage, fun, and gambling haven! Muahahahahaha!
After that, Chin Yew and I joined my sister, Stuart and her friend, Chin Chee Kit for dinner at C-Jade Express restaurant. After that, I walked with Chin Yew to look at luggage and backpacks while my sis and gang stayed back at C-Jade. Since Chin Yew was still hungry after looking at bags, he went off to eat summore at Jusco's Assam Laksa corner while I headed off to GSC cinema to get ready to collect my free movie passes from HOT magazine for Evan Almighty. Sharon arrived shortly after that and queued behind me. Sharon and her hubby planned to watch Rush Hour 3 straight after Evan Almighty. Keng chow hor! Macam no need to work next day like that! Tee hee! ;) She asked since last week if I wanted to join them at Rush Hour 3 but I told them no since I didn't wanna drive back alone so late at night.
I dunno is it because I've already read the online review for Evan Almighty on MSN and the movie was only rated 2 stars outta 5 that I dun find the movie all that entertaining or I juz didn't really enjoy the movie or...? The movie has its funny moments, yes but sometimes it seems like it's being overdone... like it's trying too hard to impress the audience. I dunno, that's juz my two cents' worth. Haha! :P
Anyway, Guangzhou/HK/Macau trip, here we come! Here's to a long over-deserved (I won't even say well-deserved) break from work (and the Lees), a trip away from home and familiarity of places, a sleek new haircut, renewed friendships with my long-time ex-collegemates and the commencement of my pending new job soon after I touchdown in Malaysia after my trip. God bless us all! :)
My travelling bag is still quite unpacked! :P
Was supposed to play a game of badminton today with Christine cuz yesterday she arrived late at SRGC so she didn't get to play much. But my left arm was so sore from yesterday's game, so I decided to go karaoke instead since Christine reminded me yesterday that we've not been singing for awhile liao.
Before Kev and I headed to Redbox Pyramid, we went to Taipan first to do banking and have a light late lunch at Leo's.
Camwhoring in Leo's
Yum yum! So tasty! =)
Can u guess what I was eating? :P
