COFFEE..NEED I SAY MORE??
08 Jul 2008
Well nothing new has been going on lately. I have just been working and sleeping most of the time. A few of the people from my workplace are off this week which means I have longer hours to work. My joint pain in slowly disappearing although forgetting to take the pain medication once a day does bring some of the pain back (in which case I rush to find the pill).


In somewhat exciting news, I have brought a coffee maker. I have realized that my habit of spending money on gourmet coffee from Second Cup ( to feed my addiction) is costing my budget a little. So this Saturday, along with my dad, I went to Walmart to get a coffee maker. Luckily they were having one on sale for $19 so I immediately grabbed that (they were cheaper ones but this one had timer capabilities). I also grabbed some Irish Cream flavored coffee (a very small quantity, it came up to only $0.86). And on Saturday evening I brewed my first batch of coffee. It tasted great! But I did buy a very small quantity so it is eventually bound to run out. So today I grabbed some Bavarian Chocolate flavored beans from Fortinos (again I very small quantity total came upto $0.76 but I am testing out new flavors before I buy a mass amount) and I plan to brew it tomorrow! Wow just another reason to look forward to tomorrow.


PS: I just saw the Oxford Murders and I really enjoyed it, I enjoy movies about mathematics in general.

Shopping & Salads
28 Jun 2008
Wow...it has been a while since I blogged. I have been quite busy lately.


So firstly, with my knee, turns out I have Patellofemoral Syndrome. It's a sports injury where the patella or the kneecap's movement along the femur bone is not smooth. It should be smooth but in this case the patella's edges are jagged in which case when it rubs along the femur bone, it cause discomfort and pain to the person. There is no quick fix for it, the best thing to do is apply lot of ice. I really hate that I have this because now the only thing I can do int he gym is bicycling. You can't do many activities such as running.


I have been shopping a lot lately. Well I mean going to shopping malls a lot lately. I went to Yorkdale mall last week and Sherway Gardens today. I have realized I have become very picky with what I wear.I mean in most cases, I try on 6-7 clothing items just to find out that I want none of them. This frustrates my friend who i shop with a lot lol biggrin.


I have also gone on a healthy route in terms of diet. My blood test earlier showed that my cholesterol level had increased by a little bit. It got me really freaked out so now I am sticking to salads for most parts. And fruits too, I love fruits. I also discovered tofu and even though I am not too fond of it, I am trying to incorporate into my diet.

Knee Problems
11 Jun 2008
I just found out that I have dislocated my patella or kneecap. I can actually feel it shift left and right when I sit down and sometimes I hear the bone crack a little when it is shifting left and right. I took the day off from work and decided that I needed to go to the doctor. For the past few days, I have been having trouble sitting down or going down the stairs, basically anything that involved my kneecap from going up and down. Apparently along with the pills, the doctor told me that I also needed therapy - like physiotherapy to help it heal and to make the pain go away. I have a chiropractor appointment tomorrow. Hope that helps.

Happy 20th ^_^
06 Jun 2008
It was my 20th birthday this Wednesday. Gosh am I getting old. I didn't real do much that day. For starters, it was really cloudy and dark and gloomy and the kind of day when you don't feel like doing anything. I went to work and then came back home to go out and have dinner with my parents. We went to Swiss Chalet because I had a craving for chicken pot pie. And I also cut a triple chocolate layered cake. It's wasn't much of special celebration because it was a weekday. I am going out with a couple of friends this weekend. It is supposed to be really hot (feels like 35 degrees kinda hot) this weekend so it's all good biggrin

Rude phonecalls
26 May 2008
I am really pissed of about something that happened at work today. I am often in charge of answering the phonecalls at my workplace. I usually greet the caller on the phone and ask them who they are looking for and who they are themselves. So today I went about doing the same thing. At one point I recieved a call and this is how it went:


Me: Good afternoon, *company name*
Caller: Could I speak with *person name*
Me: And may I know who this is
Caller: That is none of your business. Are you okay with that?


I was pissed off!! I mean at first I thought he was kidding and I was waiting for an apology but he did not say anything else. Is that anyway to talk to someone one phone! I was fucking pissed, i actually started writing on a piece of paper with extreme force and eventually tore the paper. I ended up taking fewer phonecalls the rest of the day!

Welcome to this-carnival.com!
19 May 2008
I am so glad to finally reopen this-carnival.com. The closing of tehlove sort of started the indefinite hiatus of this website. But with summer hols here, I am ready to restart this website bounce


So I successfully finished my 2nd year of engineering! Yes just two more years to go and then I am professional! It is sort of scary though, how fast I am growing up. I mean, I am almost 20 and even though that is not old, I feel terribly old. I mean, it is sort of uncomfortable stepping out of the "teens" and into adulthood (and that's mostly because of all the responsibility!). But I am taking it slow and one step at a time.


I recently joined a gym to get into shape. University's schedule and pressure has encouraged me to pursue unhealthy eating habits, like skipping meals and then binge eating anything that is edible! I do feel like I have put on some weight. Luckily I have friends who share these views so all 3 of us have decided to get healthy this summer. We have already decided to do some "get-into-shape" activities such as Squash and Rock Climbing some time in the summer!


Well I am off to cook me off some healthy salad and watch the Mummy (it on the Sci-Fi channel!). And boy, it does feel great to be back yes
