It’s too early
May 18, 2007
It’s freaking 6.30 in the morning and I have been up since 4.30am. Reason? My dad and I had to send my mom off as she’s going to Perth for a week. Right now she’s on the plane to KL to catch the connecting flight to Perth. I decided not to go with her for this trip because I REALLY have to work on my thesis.
Oh yes, speaking of school, there is hope yet! I got a call from the supervisor asking me to come see him today regarding the scholarship application. Apparently, he talked to “someone” in the scholarship committee about my situation and that person asked that I apply WITHOUT the dean’s signature. I was also asked to come out with a figure to propose to them.
So, after a discussion with Rob, I’ve decided that I’d ask for about RM700-RM800 a month as opposed to the RM1400 SOMEONE thought I wanted to scam. I am also wondering if this would include tuition fees. Are they going to pay me back for all the fees I fronted in the past year? Or will they just omit me from paying tuition fees from this semester onwards? Lots of questions to ask. It was a short phone call so I’ll get the details later today when I meet the supervisor.
I’m feeling rather tired but not sleepy. Had a hard time falling asleep because my tummy hurt, the kind that makes you feel bloated/gassy, know what I mean? I finally succumbed to taking a couple of painkillers. By then it was already 12.30am. I’m not exactly sure why my tummy hurts but I think it’s either gas or PMS. I’m leaning more towards gas because I don’t recall getting this kind of PMS before.
After dropping my mom off at the airport, dad and I went for a super ultra early breakfast at Carpenter Street for bak moi (pork meat porridge). I have to say it was nice to get some thing warm and hot into the gassy tummy. I felt better after that. Right now I’m waiting for the (Chinese) meds to kick in. The name of the meds is too long for me to remember. Heh.
Anyway, I’m gonna go make some coffee or something.
