struck down in the prime of life

the melbourne weather has decided to change from sunny and warm to cold,gray and drizzling.

i trudged my way to victoria market for my weekly grocery shopping. the wind blowing teeny droplets of rain onto my face. such fine wisps of dampness...i almost can't feel it.

i stepped into my apartment. suddenly,i feel so tired. as if all the energy i have left has been used up by the walk to and from the market. and then the world turn all fuzzy and i sat down on my couch, cold..tired...weak.

my body has finally succumbed to the bugs flying about during spring. my nose is drippy, my throat is sore, my head is throbbing...and my forehead is burning.

my bed is calling out to me,"come Gretel...lie on me, fall asleep...come on..."

but my books on my table are a constant reminder that i have only 9 days left to my first exam.
sleep is the last thing i can afford right now. what lies ahead is 9 whole days of chao4 muggging (aka intense studying)...

gathering up whatever energy left in me, i managed to make my way to my laptop..connect to the internet and type this entry.

ok,i need a break....and 2 panadols to keep the fever away. i'll take an hour's break...cook lunch,eat lunch,take panadols...then i'll hit the books.

oh,how i long for a hug from han wei. *cough cough* sniff sniff* moan moan*
