Miserable Life in Canberra

Starting from the part when I just came back to Canberra.. For the first two weeks, I actually suffered from serious illness. I had a few sickness come rushing towards me at a time. First of all, I caught a very big sore throat. At first, it's just a normal sore throat and I thought drink more water will solve the problem, but it turns out not as easy as I think. The next day, the sore got more serious to the extent that I can't even swallow anything including water, and can't even talk. It was a total disaster for me..

In the mean time, I caught a fever... and it's a high fever.. I actually went in to the hospital for these two sickness. The doctor said I'm having a high fever of 38.5 degrees I think, can't really remember, hehe ^^ Anyways, she said I'm probably too dry, in the end they gave me two panadol and have me swallow it on the spot, and gave me fluid drops!!!! of coz, she said if the case didn't turn better, then I might have to stay overnight in the hospital T_T that's when I freak out, coz so far, all the treatment is being covered in my OSHC (overseas student health cover), but hospitalised is not, then again, luckily I got a lot better after the treatment, can talk again, can eat again, and the fever also went off... I realized that the hospital system here is really different from ours, at least here, they make sure that their patients are recovered before sending them home, which is quite good.

Well, if you think that that's all, WRONG~~~~~~~ in the mean time, I also had rashes all over my body. When I went to hospital, the rashes only appeared on my palms, so the doctor thought it was the heat in my body that caused the rashes. But no, the nex day, the rashes extended to my legs, arms, body, everywhere. That's when I got nervous!!!!!!!!!!!! I went to see the health centre on campus. Usually, you have to wait for one week for the appointment with the doctor over there, but thank to God, they gave me an appointment which is just the same day's afternoon. Well, as I expected, the doctor said he didn't know at all what's wrong with me, just throw down statements liek it may be viro-tyoe and I might need to be semi-isolated T_T then, he asked me to go the another place to get a blood test (of coz, it's included in my OSHC again). So, I went there the next day, got the test done, got back my report after a few days, saying that I really got infected by a virus, but by that time, I was all good already ^^

Of coz, if you think that that's all, WRONG AGAIN~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ after a week, I got some sort of allergic on my lips. My lips got swalloned like SHIT!!!! So ugly T_T I can't even imagine how I go out with that swalloned lips. Luckily, it went off a few days later, using the vaseline that my fren borrowed me... THANK YOU, I really needed that...

Well, that's not all... Did I tell you all that I joined the SIGN mentoring program as a mentor? Hmm... I think not, since I haven't been updating.. haha =P It's a program to help out new students to get used to canberra's and uni's life better.. Apparently, they have a wine and cheese program to let the mentors to have a fellowship with one another. I went there with my fren just for the food, but when I got there, my frens were all tring out the wine. Then, I thought: A little try won't hurt, right? So, I did try out one glass of sparkling juice, and I ended up a little drunk, not to say drunk really, it's just a headache, but I did vomit, which is quite gross, I know... that's really a bad experience, but there's always a first time right? LOL...
