.sick.
Wow. 5 days of not blogging. There's a record for me. Was i missed?
Hmmmm.
I don't think so.
There is so many things to talk about but i just don't know where to start.
Let's see, what should i talk about first?
Did i mention that i am sick?
Well, i'm sick. Very sick infact. I lost my voice. Literally. The doctor mentioned something about throat inflammatation and i was advised to stay away from oily or fried food, chilli, crackers and the best advice she gave me was to refrain myself from speaking. So it's totally like becoming mute. Wow. Had my bro to answer my calls earlier today and i was feeling so weak especially since this infection causes me to develop fever. 38.5 degrees. Bad. So bad. What's worst is that i have to down 6 different types of pills at one go. I hate pills. Scratch that. I hate medication. Yesterday when i took them after forcing myself to eat some food (u know u're not supposed to eat medication on an empty stomach), i nearly barf them all out again. Gosh. Im such a baby when it comes to taking medication. *blueek*
You know that when u're feeling under the weather, you usually don't have any appetite to eat. That is so true. Especially if you're having throat problems. Its like your throat doesnt agree to whatever you're consuming and all you do is just feel like barfing. Bottom line is, i hate it when i'm sick. I even had to skip school yesterday. Was actually planning to go. Even the parental units told me to forgo school but i don't know why i just felt like going. But apparently, i changed my mind at the very last minute as it seems like every ounce of energy in me has left. So i stayed home, went to the doc, waited more than an hour for my turn before i finally get to see the doc. The first thing my doc said to me when i entered the room is, "Diyana, you look miserable! What's wrong with you?"
Right. Isn't being sick supposed to be miserable? I mean, you don't have a smile on your face and be laughing when you're sick right?
But, i like that doc. She's real nice. She even told me to separate myself from my siblings. Which i did. I slept on the couch last night. That would be my temporary bed for the time being till i recovered. It's especially cosy with my comforter, my pillow, my bolster and my jacket (just in case i feel cold).
When you're feeling under the weather, you don't feel like doing anything. I HAD access to the computer earlier today and bro even offered to let me use the comp but i declined. I had my ass laid on my temporary bed watching movies. Yup. I had my very own movie marathon. Watched 'The Pacifier', 'Beauty Shop', 'The Perfect Man' and 'Monster-in-law'. Loved every minute of it.
I think, this is going to be one hell of a super long entry. Considering that i am not even half way through. *sigh*
But if you don't feel like continuing, just stop. It's ok. I don't mind.
Did i mention that the parental units bought new lobster? Scratch that. Lobsters. They bought not one, but two lobsters. I was asking bro bout what to name them. And guess what he answered? Mary-Kate and Ashley. I laughed so hard when he answered (obviously dis was b4 i lost my voice). So its a done deal. Those two lobsters got their name. *winks*
I've ended my a week of relief teaching at blk 806. Real tiring but an eye opener for me. I learnt a lot there. And i am proud to say that in less than a week, i memorised all the children's names. Heh. 15 names in the morning and 25 names for the afternoon kids. Am i good or what? And i cant believe i said this but, it's sad to stop teaching them coz ive grown quite attached to them.
Digressing. (Again)
Have you noticed that there is many 'politics' around? Regardless of whatever politics- office politics, home politics, heck there are even blog politics. So, last sunday, Mama was telling me bout office politics. Like, its so weird how these people turn out to be because of work. They tend to be pretentious. Infront of you, they turn out to be so nice but behind you, they stab you at the back. Mama told me that a lot of people hate my dad. Why? Because he is efficient? Because he is a good worker? Because he works real hard for his job and not skive? There have also been rumors going around that Dad is sucking up to the big boss watsoever. Wow. Dad is practically like a celebrity now! Heh. And the people who bad-mouthed him are the people whom i called, 'cik' and whom i got along with way back. Wow. Didnt think that would happen. But i guess that's life. Not even trying to rub salts to the wounds or anything but if you want the big boss to trust you, show it to your boss. Show your boss that you are capable, you are efficient and that you can solve problems. If you are not able to do dat, how would the boss trust you, right?
Those were the exact words, well not exact, but those were nearly the exact words that i told mama. (I was just giving my two cents worth)
And guess what mama said, "kau budak kecik ckp gitu, ape plak dorang yg dah tua!"
And i was like, "Yelah, nana budak kecik pe."
She explained that she was just trying to prove her point that i am much younger than my dad's colleagues but my thinking is already this mature.
That was when i answered, "Oh well, what can i say? I am mature."
So, what im trying to say is that, sometimes, bad mouthing, spreading rumors won't help you get the trust from your boss. It wont do you any good. You just have to work harder, be efficient and show your boss that he won't regret having you as a staff.
p/s- that para above wasnt meant for anyone in particular and yes, my family calls me nana in short.
Everyday, when i read the newspapers, its always regarding that EVIL stepfather who kils his two year old step daughter. For goodness sake, that girl is only two years old sey, what wrong has she done. I mean, yes two year old can be a handful, but.. she's innocent. And to think a pretentious bastard could just kill her and dumped her body under the Aljunied flyover. Stupid, idiotic guy. I could just curse him. He is pretentious. He pretends to look for Nonoi but actually he knows where she is. Dead and already hidden under the flyover. *shakes my head* I hope he gets his retribution.
I think this entry is long enough. Im gonna crash on my temporary bed soon. Im feeling drowsy already.
p/s- old habits die hard. I see that my short forms are emerging. Dang.
