dislocation of shoulder.. *AGAIN

geez. i never have thought that i will dislocate my stupid shoulder again. yesterday, we went ice skating. Since i am an intermediate skater, my friend was teaching me tricks on how to do cross overs and hockey brakings. While practising the cross overs, i lost my balance, grabbed his hand for suppot (BIGGEST mistake), my shoulder gave way... =( The worst part was that this shoulder didnt pop back in. SO i was paralyzed... I ended up in a wheelchair, in pain and feeling silly. All my friends stopped skating, for coutesy reasons.. *_* OR they cared. Whatever. I am sure it was a mix. While in a wheelchair, the firstaid guy helped me put my hand into a makeshift cast. Miraculously, while adjusting my arm SLOWLY, (damn pain) it popped in.. *ERMP.

Eitherhow, i still went to a hospital for checkup - Xray. Damn, the canadian emergency section is quite slow.. i guess it is not only the case for singapore huh. WELL, after 4 hrs, it was done.. And i was tired and dead.... AT LEAST, there was a peace of mind that my shoulder is good, just sore. Today, i cant even lift a testtube. i cant even hook up my bra.. *GRRRR. had to fiddle around using left hand.. *_* I hope the strenght comes back soon.

With regards to hospital bills, it was good that Mcgill forced us to have local health insurance. I am sure my bill overshot 500 $ canadian. So i guess the insurance bill is covered already.... HEEEEEEEE. I am referred to an othopedic clinic for followup, so hopefully, there are more permenant solutions. *chirp.

my Bday

it was a weird quiet bday. No songs, no cake. Yet, it was warm and sweet. The silence seemed to have wished me my 23rd bday. Its weird, i cant seem to upload any picstures... perhaps it is just tonight.

anyway, i finally gotten my internet../! yeh! i can upload pictures n blog soon.. it is totally not fun that i cannot upload... pictures are IMPORTANT...

Sledging... on a tiny slope

well, since i finished my exams.. and i have a new camera... here is my first batch of pictures. (kinda first batch). As i have no internet access.. it has been a pain to upload pics.. or update u guys about life. Not that there is much to say. Today is the 22nd december, most of my friends left for their respective countries/provinces.. so i am more or less alone in montreal. Feels kinda weird. It is such a blessing that iman has returned.

I decided to scrap te plans of NY cause i wana wait till spring break. IN addition, eleni (the greek girl) has promised to visit me in March, and that we can go together to NY. That will be so fun (crossing fingers..)

FINALLY --> MY NEW DIGITAL CAMERA

hihi

i think all of u must have stopped checking my blog already,, but no worries! i finally went in the blistering -15 C today to buy my new digital cam. this time round, i chose a cheaper model, (abit) sony powershot S90. Of course, a memory card is a must. i cant wait to start shooting the snow n stuff. Will be keeping you updated.

To be honest, tomorrow is my exam. but no worries, i am prepared for it. (kinda) i mean, it is 60 MCQ, so it cant be that awful.. unless they give really unexpected questions n stuff.

For my life, i have eben getting busier not because of studies, but because of my lab work. i have finally embarked on my little project/thesis. GOD. it takes soo much planning n precision, carefulness, brains etc to work. I keep forgetting ingredients, measurements, tubes etc. It is said that starting is normal, with time i am suppose to become better. *SO....... we will see. I am planning from 16-25, i will work hard on my research, so that i have something running. *it is about time anyway.

Iman has been away since 5th of dec - to visit his grannies etc in iran. I miss him sooo much. It is good that i have lots of work to tend to, else... *_* DEAREST IMAN, if u read this, i want HUGE HUGE PRESENTS ---> ONE for my bday, ONE for XMAS, ONE for mental conpensation!~

it snows

The snow started today.

At the early hours where the sun was still sleeping.. it has been snowing for at least 3 hours already. Most roofs are already covered with a thin layer of snow, same with the naked tree branches, the parked cars and the soil. The foggy landscape and the fluttering snow flakes, paints a perfect picture for my eyes, making it look surreal. Almost as if the time has come ot a stand still.

Taking a closer look, I see people still hurrying along the streets, cars moving with windswipers on, an occassional seagull or pigeon flying over your heads.. reminds you that the time is still ticking away.

Sitting by my window, pondering. loss in the beauty of nature. The snow seems to wander aimlessly everwhere, floating in batches, pushed by an invisible force. I think seasonal changes does evoke very serene, pure, beautiful feelings in you. Reminds you that mother nature is all powerful.... *wishing there is no school today....

MY boring life

As the semester draws near, so is are my stress hormone levels rising in an exponential rate. *grumble. Just deadlines and deadlines to meet. Anyway, i will be fine. Still hanging on....

I volunteered myself to be the 'lab helper' in my laboratory, so as to increase my non-exsistant basic wet-lab skills to something useful. I guess crossing over to a suddenly more bio based lab is a double obstacle path. If you dont know nor understand the use of the basic skills on e.g: plating, culture cells, dilutions, use specialised machines, how would you know how to plan your own experiments? Even if you have a hint of an idea of what you want, how can you express it in paper since you have no idea how the experimental setup should go? It boils down to just working twice as hard, learning while churning out ways to create experiments which can lead you closer to the goal. As i learnt, it is not easy to sit down and PLAN an experiment yourself, and to excute them perfectly. Often, it screws up. You overlook details. Unexpected human or random errors occur. Oh well. Rattling off.

The newest forecast... do checkout the link i have given on the right hand corner of my blog. Perhaps snow is approaching. Ah well. I wouldnt bank on it. Forcasters....

lazy ass

another week has passed. It is soo awful to know that the semester is running away so fast. All deadlines are converging at the end of this month = oh no! I have made it a pt to wake up everyday by 930 on a weekday, even if there is no classes. This helps me to get more things done. (or so i think)

I have been feeling abit lost lately, probably due to the lost of my bag, and the absence of my laptop (i sent it for repairs). In addition, you know, the bouts of loneliness you get facing 4 walls in your room. Sure, socialising is a great way to get rid of these feelings, but i am not really in a mood to. *GRUMBLE.

Yesterday, i ate pizza with iman's sister Baharan - after studying together in the lib. WAS SOO FULLLL after that. Her mum picked her up, and i volunteered to walk home. (feeling tummy guilty) Then i spent like an hour walking in the neighbour hood, feeling bored and claustrophobic. It was night by then, so i didnt dare to be to adventurous to walk to a park or something. Parks at night here = darkness. No trace of streetlamps.

Today, i am doing an outline of another term paper. I neeed inspiration man. *grumble.

Just a note, i MISSSSS my camera sooo much. *whine.

holloween blues

my friends

beard!

jean + me

couldnt resist the 'afro' 70 styled basketballer.. haa..

Us girls...

There was a tini girl's dress up session - which we happily finishes a bottle of rose wine and some cheez and bread. I guess i was determined to not let the unfortunate bag incident bring me down.

So.. arent i pretty? *just abit red... not my fault - the wine..... (i am suppose to be a renaissance witch)

Some frog prince came to pick me up, with stupid lines like are u a witch? did u turn me into a frog? then again, you look too pretty, perhaps you are the princess i am looking for to turn me back.. *_*

anyhow, it was really fun, n memorable, with EVERY SINGLE PERSON dressed up as something. even the most boring one came with a wig. There was a dressing contest --> the person who won was a vibrator girl. *HAAAA... Also, there was some guy dressed in a g-string, painted white from head to toe. he DOES NOT HAVE A GOOD BOD. i was laughing too hard to remember to take a picture of him.

almost back to normal life
