when time and confusion collide

the name is vanessa but everybody calls me van. estranged ex-NJCanoeist of 2004/05 K2-500m. I'm a WSO (FIGHTER) trainee and I'm doing my BA(Hons) English and Politics in the University of York. I like fast cars, literature, art and tulips. I cannot cook. When I was younger I wanted to be an astronaut. I am hopeless at math or anything remotely related to formulae. I detest parsley. I love the colour burgundy. My Macbook is my bestfriend and I've played with Macs since I was 15 so no, I didn't jump on the bandwagon. I have lofty dreams but I'm often afraid to chase them. I don't get angry I get disappointed. I intend to learn Spanish and German. Oh, and I think Liverpool kicksmajorass - I am not a fair-weathered fan. I think ambiguity is beautiful.

Just got discharged from Thomson Medical Centre. Some urinary bacterial infection that caused excruciating pain in my lower abdomen, so much that I couldn't walk straight. Thankfully it wasn't appendicitis like they initially suspected though, so after one day of confinement, I'm out.

Seriously, my stay at the hospital totally gave "boredom" a whole new meaning. Staring at the ceiling, watching the second hand of my clock travel 360 degrees (repeatedly), watching news of the Pope on tv.. it's just sheer utter BOREDOM. Never will I ever say I'm stoning again, for nothing compares to what I did for 12 hours in that damn room. ROOM 609. Hell. I had a total of five needles stuck into me. Blood tests, IVs, injections, xrays, ultrasound scans etc. Not to mention the gigantic bill, amounting to about $1000++. To quote my dad "Wah, even more expensive than Shangri-La!"

Thanks to everyone who msged and called though, especially to Chew, Thong and Andrew who took time off after training to come visit. Weejin, Tom, Mindy, Rach, Mich, Peishan, Jasmin, Huiying, Liyana, Davina, Cher, Sam, Mel etc. Thanks all of you for your concern. I'll be back in school hopefully by Friday, and back for training next Monday. Thanks to my parents, my aunts and my sis for slacking in that room with me.. and not forgetting the doctors and nurses. Really couldn't have survived without you people.
