Do I need one?


The good old days...haha..not really. I think this little girl is lucky, she only has ONE backpack. When I was her age, I was carrying 3 huge bags like hers to school daily. All my books for morning session, afternoon session and after-school tuition books...I would have to carry my bags and my sister's (that's what good older siblings do, right?) and walk home from school...man, those days didn't seem too bad till today..

So, there was the Walton Block Party in Sholmier Plaza and Razorbash Party at the union today afternoon. It was fun. There were so many free stuff and lucky draws. I was just grabbing and signing up for stuff..kinda fun. lol...well, not until I went for the FREE SPINAL CHECK. *sigh* I'm not sure if I should be grateful or worried. Apparently, my spinal cord is messed up. senget bones, structure not proper...I only managed to get a 30% on that test. Yes, this is the first test I failed. Maybe it's a good thing I found out early...maybe not? I was told that I should not be carrying anything above 10% my body weight and anything more than that is harmful to my body. And yet, my bags were way more than that 10%.....but I need those books....how? *sigh*
They gave me a free 1st consultation coupon...should I go and test it out?
What do y'all think?

Fayetteville

I'm back here in Fayetteville once again. I arrived here safely (of course) about midnight yesterday and I'm still sore. My arms and back hurts way too much to bear. The cuts and line marks from all the luggage carrying was horrible, because my sister could not (or maybe refused to even try) carry her stuff. So, I had to carry all the luggages except her backpack and teddy bears. It's just horrible. It was about a total of 115kg! that's like more than 2x of me. No wonder I'm in such pain.

Anyway, first stop from KL was Japan. Narita airport was ok. It was pretty interesting. We showered, ate lunch, skype with my family and bought lots of snacks..hehe..yes, I couldn't resist the snacks.. the food on the plane was surprisingly good. It was better than the one I had when I first arrived through HK. My flight from Japan to Chicago was a very long one. A very tiny leg space too, which did not help the backaches. But other than that, it was nice. When we got to Chicago, our plane was delayed for 3 hours! 3 whole hours! *sigh* And what's worse was I was having my gastric and allergy reaction (so much for trying out the pasta)...it was one of those worse situation you can get when travelling. And just before I left KL, I was recovering from another gastric and allergy problem. Aaahhhhh.....I just don't like experimenting this way.

When we finally arrived in Fayetteville, Jac and David were there to greet us. It was really nice of them to pick us up and help us with our luggages. Coz' by this point, I'm almost ready to collapse. As soon as I got to the apartment, I just started cleaning the apartment a little, tidying up some of the stuff around here. I was extremely tired. After taking a bath, I talked to my family a little before heading to bed.

I'm still suffering from jet lag. Sorry if this update is not so coherent...I can't think much right now...so much more to do before class starts. Hopefully I'll have fully recovered by then =(
