155th Day in Melbourne

Heavy Wind and Rain

Stayed at home today, as strong wind and heavy rain swept across Melbourne today...have been going to research lab for the past few days (3-4 days in a week) and it's been really tiring to travel 1 hour in train there and back, what's more, have been lugging all the heavy files back home to check as well...my back really hurts..

Recently, my left big toe has experienced mysterious swelling and i really don't know why...few days back, the swell's so bad that i can't even wear shoes..when i finally squeezed my foot in, i struggled to walk...when i came home, i realized that the compression on the swelling due to the shoes had caused the swelling to bleed...omg, it's disgusting lah...I've been trying to use the anti-septic lotion to disinfect it and have made a medical appointment at the health centre in school...hopefully i don't have to see the doctor and spend money...but from what i observed, there's no sign of recovery on my toe, though the swelling has subsided a little...

Last week was the dumpling festival and i got persuaded by the asian grocery boss to buy this dumpling (air-tight packing) to eat at home...time really flies...it's the dumpling festival already...tried cooking the dumplings yesterday and although it's not fragrant from the pandan leaves, i must say it taste okay...at least the taste is not completely off...hehe..but food products from China, will i get a tummy-ache??
