Tensionnya.......!!

It really is frustrating and annoying when you send your car for a wash and 10 minutes later, it starts to rain!!

Arghhhh...there goes my RM12.

Word of Day...

Yeah..
My word of the day or perhaps the next few days would be..

"WHATEVER"

So how?

I don’t know how else to explain it.

I know what I am. I know what I can and cannot do. I know my ability. I know what I can offer.

So I cannot see what they see.

I don’t know if this is about self confidence but what else can I say? I’m just trying to explain how blatantly obvious things are in the office. Come on, let’s be honest here.

Do you have any idea how terrified I have been feeling? I can’t help but to compare myself with the best. Boy, do I have a loooooooong way to go….

I do things within my own limits. It can’t get any better than that.

I am very aware of my capacity. So let’s not go overboard.

Don’t get me wrong. I appreciate compliments but at some certain level, we need to remain realistic.

There have been differing views anyway. So you can't actually expect me to believe the whole thing.

21 subjects? *eeeekk*

Are kids nowadays getting smarter or the examination standard getting much lower?

20 1As and 1 2A?

Gosh...I could barely make it through 8 subjects during my SPM days!! Well, I didn't do that bad but I didn't get straight As either!

I can't imagine myself taking 21 subjects. I think I'll go bonkers. I don't think I would have a life.

Some people are just plain smart. They just concentrate in class, do a bit of homework and they're there. Me? I really, really have to work hard if I want to score.

So I guess taking 21 subjects is really out of the question for me.

Congratulations to adik Azali Azlan who was announced as the Best SPM (2007) student in Malaysia. Hats off to you!

Note: Do we go for quality of subjects taken or quantity now?

Duty calls...

Marilah mari....

Pergi mengundi..

Jangan lupa kewajipan..pada negara..

lalalalalaaa....

Are you guys ready to do some voting?

It'll be interesting to see the commotion this Saturday.

Trueblue feeling blue-Part 2

No. I did not get well.

Another week of pain and suffering.

I forgot to mention in my previous entry that apart from all the sore throat and coughing, I was also suffering from diarrhea. It wasn't that major so I chose to ignore it. I was hoping it would go away by itself. But after 4 days and I still had tummy aches, I thought I'd better get it checked out. The Dr gave me some pills for the tummy and antibiotics.

However, in the next few days I was still in pain and continued going to the toilet even after finishing the course of antibiotics. Something was not right.

I then started to get chills and fever on day 9 of the illness. I was shivering! Went back to the clinic and Dr suspected it was Salmonella food poisoning. I was given a new set of antibiotics and few days of MC to rest.

As of today I still have stomach cramps and I still feel weak. For the past 3 days, I lost my appetite to eat and with all the constant visits to the toilet, I have lost a bit of weight too. Good news on that but not exactly done in a good way.

There's too much work to be done. I'm worried that I'm letting other people down.

Pray that I'll get better soon.

Trueblue feeling blue

I haven’t been feeling well since last week.

It initially began with having wisdom tooth pain. I wasn’t able to eat or sleep properly. I know the cure is to just take the damn teeth out but I’m too chicken to do it. I have been delaying for the past 10 years! For the past one week, I had to depend on pain killers. I feel better now but I know its not gonna be for long. The pain will definitely come back again. *groan*

Yesterday morning I had a sore throat and was coughing a bit. Took some strepsils and hoped I would be ok. Well, apparently not…

I had to attend an assessment that lasted about 2 hours that morning. After all the talking, I suddenly realized I lost my voice at the end of the session.

And today, I am still unable to get my voice back. The more I talk, the more ‘serak’ it gets. I always thought people with husky voices sound so sexy but when I listen to myself, I don’t think I’m any near to sounding sexy. I think I sound more like an old granny :(

Oh my poor throat. Perhaps I just need to shut up for a few days.

Update (as of 20/2/08):

My daughter, D* was shocked to hear my croaky voice last night.

D*: Kenapa mama takde suara?

Me: Mama sakit

D*: Ok. Mama wait here. D* go take doctor-doctor

She ran to her room, rummaged through her toy box and took out her doctor tool kit. She then ran back to me, took out one of the tools and asked me to open my mouth. She started doing some checking and kept on saying "hmmmm", "hmmmm". When the check up was done, she gave me a spoon and said "mama makan ubat".

When it was time for bed, she insisted to sleep with me because she wanted to take care of me.

"Mama, jangan talk so much. Mama must rest ok?"

I woke up this morning feeling much better. Thanks sweetheart. Thanks for the TLC.
