dust is my bed: down... but not out...

*ranting alert* *ranting alert*

now, what was i supposed to rant about? oh im down with swollen tonsils. how i got them, i storytelling you later k?

friday

usualy me and family are sheng-siong-ers. we shop at sheng siong for our monthly groceries. this month, i got a $200 NTUC voucher from the workplace, so we decided to skip sheng siong for this month and try shopping at NTUC lah pulak.

i expected that jurong point's carpark will be full to the maxima especially on a friday night. but it was so challenging finding a parking lot. and with the kancheong-spider, Yana, sitting beside me, it didnt' really help. now i know why Allah didnt let her continue her driving lessons hehehehe...!!! but yeah, finding a lot is like playing treasure's hunt. Yana was practically screaming, "kak, sini! sini! sini!" Cute kan adik aku. Excited bebenor.

but alas, got a lot and took note of the number - 158. went shopping, finished up the vouchers and had to top up $70 more (gulp!). then me and dad went to carpark to find our car while the mum and the sisters waited at one of the lobbies.

reached lot 158 and MY CAR IS NOT THERE! can you imagine how hard the heart must have thumped. and the dad was grumbling at me that i must have noted the number wrongly. called Yana and she said she's certain the number is 158. Yana said, it's ok she'll go down and help find the car. a while after, she called, "kak! ni kereter kat sini per, kat depan mata Yan. betol lah 158!" i was like blardy hell, which 158 is this man?

but at last, we found each other and we found the car. how blardy stupid is the carpark numbering? same B2 level but have duplicated numbers. but anyway, yang penting aku jumpa kereter aku.

the whole thing affected me so much that i had a nightmare that night. that we lost our car, and upon finding, we found all the inner parts missing, including the cd player and all. then in the nightmare, i was crying. AND I ACTUALLY WOKE UP CRYING, FULL MEDLEY WITH TEARS AND ALL! cekik darah!

saturday

went to geylang with mum and aton. met habibati Naqi there. ate lunch at the pasar. i had nasi pattaya and air longan. the nasi pattaya cheat my feelings one. it's just red nasi goreng with an oversized omellette on top of it. it wasnt even wrapped like a normal nasi pattaya.

then mum and aton went home. me and habibati stayed at darul arqam for a study session till maghrib. while studying, the throat became increasingly irritable. very irritable. by the time maghrib came, it was a full-blown sore throat already.

but still i braved the night to meet dear friend Suzi with Naqi for a chat session. we havent met each other for quite a while since she stopped joining the Arabic class. had dinner at Hanis, National Library. had our stories and laughter. thank you ladies. i really had an enjoyable night.

sunday

throat became unbearable. mum cooked nasi rawon that day but all i could manage was the rice with the gravy only. everything else looked suicidal to me. so the longan had done its damage. why the longan? coz the last time i had longan juice, i ran a fever of 40 degrees. i tot that was because i had TOO MUCH longan juice. but i think after this, for sure, i know, i cant take longan. farnie right. lychee can, longan cannot. now, what's the freaking difference?

monday

went to work to settle some things then went to the doctor. doctor said i have swollen tonsils. gave me pills of all colours. imagine me trying to swallow those things with the tonsils like that. FUN kaper? and i got a day's MC. went home and ate chicken soup with rice (i love you mummy!), and slept. and slept. and slept.

today

feeling slightly better. i think the tonsils are shrinking. they dont hurt that much already. but im very sleepy liao. the medicine effect? or i just slept too much yesterday? badan pun lembek mcm comforter.

but anyway, i have lots of things in the mind. too much. very the berserabut kepala otak but i guess one by one i will need to pull them apart.

hmmm.. till then, lemme enjoy Jake Sully aka Sam Worthington. I just bought the original DVD!! I think this is my 10th time watching this movie. and i can watch it 100 times over and over again...
