*cough cough
The year 2007 is barely a day away . . and here I am, sick as ever.
All thru’out the year I was fine. Ermmm, let me rephrase tht . . apart frm that nasty ankle fracture tht landed me at home for 2mths, i was completely fine! Then, frm nowhere, the flu bug hit me and here I am, sneezing away, coughing away . . . and I’ve lost my voice,too!! All thru’out my life, I’ve NEVER lost my voice! Honestly!!! I used to find it rather amusing tht people lost their voices during a bad bad URTI. Errrrrrrrrrrrrr, i mean, amusing as in . . . . odd . . . . errrrrrr . . . weird. Until it happened to me! Now, the people around me are havin’ a darn good laughter, hearing me croak away! Damn . . .what goes around certainly comes back around . .
Whilst everyone is out there partying away, I’m stuck at home with a croaky voice. Argggggggghhhhhhhhhh. . . how very frustrating. Then again, I know I shld be counting my blessings ‘coz there are less fortunate people out there who are bedridden in hospital and aren’t even able to spend de first few moments of New Year with their loved ones.
The last couple of days have been events-filled, to say the least. Last nite, our church had its Annual Dinner at Shah Alam Club. This Annual Dinner is particularly significant to Robz and me ‘coz six years ago, we met each other at this Annual Dinner(at Shah Alam Club) too!!! It was certainly very nostalgic to walk into the familiar grounds of Shah Alam club. Again, Robz and I had fun hosting a couple of games during the dinner. Thanks to my croaky voice, I ended up takin’ care of the music selection for de evening, whilst Robz wuz the MC and games-host.
Apart frm tht, been tryin’ to do as much as possible during my leave days. Nevertheless, itz rather difficult to be doin’ lotsa stuff whilst being SICK! *sigh. On Friday, out of a fit of anger and rage, I told myself tht I’m gonna go out and act like a ‘healthy normal gal’ and ended up obsessively collecting nine watches of mine that had run out of batteries and drove up to Amcorp Mall and got all watches’ batteries replaced! Yes yes . . I just HAD to prove to myself tht I felt well enough to drive across Federal Highway alone and go change those batteries! Oh, and I had to change a gift tht we got for Dad ‘coz it was broken. Of course Mom thought it was completely ridiculous of me to be out there in the hot sun, drivin’ across to PJ whilst being so sick, to go change de gift. Then again, Mommies are always super-duper-protective, aren’t they?
I told myself I’d make this blog entry a short one ‘coz even now, as I’m tryin’ so darn hard to type this out, my eyes are watery and burning! Arggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh . . i hate being sick!!!
Anyway, enough of digressing frm de main point. To those who read this entry, HAPPY NEW YEAR, folks!!
