I keep stepping on people's tail

Friday, stepped on Mum's tail. Today, Dad's. *sianz*

Friday, gotten a laptop, wanted to get a keyboard shield, a screen protector, a laptop bag. Dad suggested to go Sim Lim after going 'sao mu', after sending the 2 eldest cousins to their phoneix lesson. He asked me to bring my laptop along which I refuse as I thought I had taken all necessary measurement.

As I was trying to find nice and cheap stuffs, I keep saying go elsewhere to find. Also, to get something that fit was difficult. Luckily, I had asked the boss at the IT shop at BP plaza the day before and know that even thought it is said to be 4.1 inch, there will have variation. Even the while laptop dimension differ. But my dad doesn't understand. Kept grumbling and asked what I want. Kept making noise that I did not bring my laptop.

I still find it was not necessary. Sim Lim was a IT mall. it will surely have the laptop that I own. And I believed the people there will be able to help. Well, even if I should have brought, the fact that I did not was true. What can we do then? Go home and take then go back again? When my dad wanted to say the 'last time' I said 'ok, ok... sh...' then tried to get away and try not to touch on the topic since I managed to get the last 2 items. My dad paid for the laptop bag while I paid for the screen protector and keyboard shield.

All aren't as expected but they should be ok la. Maybe I might source for bigger keyboard shield. the current one seemed smaller. Will see how ba.

Anyway, these fews days don't seemed well for me. Hope it will get better the next few days!

Bad bad Good Friday

Good Friday, washing machine spoilt. After breakfast, went COURTS as there was a promotion of getting a washing machine at discount price. Over there, my parents also gotten an iron, a 1G MP4 player and they also gotten me a laptop. I was happy of course as I had been thinking of getting one or not due to the fact that there are 3 PC sets at home. Well, anyway, it meant that I could doing homework even at my grandma's house or elsewhere possible. I need to utilize all my time as much as possible. Can't lag a bit.

After that went home. Had to do my stuffs and even helped my mum prepared the sotong and stingray for the BBQ at my youngest aunt's condo that evening. (I was busy even on public holiday).

At my aunt's place, went swimming with my cousins. Felt tired soon after but was still enjoyable. Even went to the steam bath after swimming. After which, feeling hungry, went to the BBQ pit. Only ate a fishball, a chicken wings, half a mushroom and while eating my aunt already said she should stop BBQing and should pass to another person like me. My dad went over but how can I be so thicked skinned to just stand at 1 side to eat. (Ya, I was standing as there aren't seats available). Soon after i finish the chicken wing, a fishball and half a mushroom, went to BBQ. Was still very hungry so I ate the potato salad. It was nice but can't possible finish up the whole tub (half a tub left then actually) so I only scooped a bit.

I got stopped once a while for a short while to drink some water, etc but still with a hungry stomach, went over to help wth the BBQ. My mum was there. I wanted to take the thongs from her so that she should go and rest while I BBQ. I did not know she placed her fingers between the thongs and I grabbed it. When I know it was too late and I comment that no one would place their fingers there. How to use with a finger in between and she grumbled and said that she shan't argue with me and will not talk to me. (-.-)'''

I do not know if the foods were cooked especially when most were wrapped in aluminium foil and banana leaves. When I asked if the sweet potatoes were cooked, she ignore me and said can't I see a few moments later telling to me use a stick to poke through. When I asked how long have the stingray been BBQ and how long should BBQ, she also ignore me. When I asked if the chicken wings were cooked as they had shrunk, she ignore me too. I was pissed off then. I was there hungry, trying to help her so that she could go and eat and my grandma keep asking for this and that while the items she asked for was still BBQing and she kept complaining that the fire was small, we were slow etc. My 3 cousins' parents also only know how to eat and never help, etc. So the food were going fast as we also have to take note that my aunt also invited her colleagues and friends.

In the end, I could no longer stand being beside my mum so I left when I could and went to feed the dogs with biscuits. In the end, I went to a side bench to sit down and gazed at the stars that was covered with clouds soon after and I munched the biscuit that I fed my aunt's dogs. Biscuits for human but they could eat.

Well, in the end, I managed to get somemore BBQ sotong and stingray from my mum after that. I think she realized I am missing and I had not had much food. But becaused the stingray aren't cooked so I went back there and managed to grab somemore BBQ foods there.

Sorethroat no more

Yeah! I think I recovered from my sorethroat le. Hee.

Today, my mum told me that my very blur cousin, Nelson, got his report book back yesterday. His sister, Michelle, as usual dug his bag to check and found it otherwise we wouldn't know. LOL. I don't know why he never said he had gotten his report card.

Anyway, he did much better than I expected. I was so worried that he might daydream again during the examination and hand in a blank paper. It always happened to him, in fact, it's all the time. Furthermore, he doesn't know how to read and doesn't understand what is written.

Well, he managed to get a 'Band 2' for both languages and a 'Band 1' for mathematics. He scored 80+ percentage for all these subjects. So it's really very well done for him. Should encourage him further so that he might work harder.

As for his brother, I might have read too much into psychology. LOL. My mum told me that he brought home those work that he coloured in school and were like his brother when his age was the same. They both used only 1 colour for the whole picture. Michelle said it was ugly and he insisted that it was very nice. LOL. My uncle said to him that why must he be like his brother.

When my mum told me what my uncle said, my reaction was that they should not said that as he likes to be with the brother and always follow what the brother does. So he might insist on continuing this as what he is doing is like his brother. Once I blurt this out, I immediately thought of the elective that I am taking, Psychology. OMG!

How to get well?

I am still having sorethroat. But it served me right. I didn't want my parents to worry and bug me to go see the doctor. Thus, I never let them know.

Yesterday's dinner, my mum bought chicken rice for me. I usually ate with the chilli sauce but due to my sorethroat I decided not to. But after a few mouth-full, I decided I should add chilli sauce as the rice was not nice. I added too much by accident and the chilli sauce happened to be pretty hot. So not good for my throat.

Worst still, my dad bought chilli crabs home. He bought 2 crabs and only me and him eating as my mum is allergic to it. I am unsure if I will be allergic as I kinda found out previously that I might be allergic too (minor allergic).

Well, even if I might have allergy reaction other than my already sore throat, I still have to eat. My dad had been eyeing on crabs days ago (even weeks), but didn't managed to ate it. And since he already bought, what can I do? Eat then decide how loh.

Luckily when I woke up today, my throat didn't seemed to worsen and my palm is still normal without the tiny itchy bubble-like blister. Just hope I can get well soon.

Even though I was lucky in that sense, I almost missed teh staff bus to school. I only realized I forgot to bring my wallet with my EZ-link card when I was almost reaching the bus pick-up point. I know I could borrow money from my friends but how am I going to go home when I don't have EZ-link card? I got dance training today so I can't afford to wait for my staff bus as it would be very rush for me once I reached home. So I had no choice but to ran home to grab my wallet. Running was something which I kind of dare not do nowadays. I was worried about my right hip ligament problem which I said previously that it never seemed to really recover well since last December. Now, my right leg kind of keep feeling 'numb'. Just hope it's alright ba.

Anyway, last year, I joined the member for developing photos at Harvey Norman as there will be discount for developing photos and there are 5 pieces of 8R and 5R photos free. Joined after calculating and finding that it's worth it as I usually had to take bus to JW to develop photos at the place where my cousin work as I would be charged based on her rate.

Well, after joining the member, I get to join a competition, 'funniest moment' or something like that. So I used the photo taken during my grandma's birthday a few years ago. She and a few cousins was laughing with mouth wide-opened as I cheekily swap the candles with the one that will re-light. They were amused then.

Yesterday, I received a mail from Harvey Norman and I got a consolidation prize and received a $20 x 5 voucher for developing photos at Harvey Norman. The sad thing is that the vouchers ended at 31 May this year and I do not have any photos to develop now. But I am still happy as I think this is the first time I won in such event/competition.

Falling sick again... Damn...

Past few days was my term break. I didn't rest enough. Most of the time was spent on watch videos and cracking my head over the Psychology tutorial. There are 2 questions. 1st is to give interesting experiences. 2nd is to give creative examples. It was a torture for me as my life had been pretty plain. Anyway, managed to think of something today for it. Hope what I thought of were ok. But still got 2 part I am still struggling.

Guess what, I also never do 2 other tutorials. Jialat leh. So slack. Not really lah. I also got my dance training last Wednesday at the other side of Singapore. As for Thursday and Friday evening, was spent on watching Getai. But I never slack. I brought my Psycho textbook and read trying to look for clues.

The weekends were also busy for me and lucky me. The practical class for today was cancelled and it seemed not to be postpone. And 'heng' I double check the timetable yesterday if not, I would have gone school today.

Yesterday, after work, I realized my throat pain. Don't know when it happen as I was busy at work. I looked into the mirror with torch shining into my mouth and found that my throat swell again. Even my tonsils swell. Especially my left tonsil and behind it, there seemed to have white spot again.

As I was tired after a long day yesterday, I can't get up to go and see the doctor. In the middle of the night, when I was up for a toilet break, I wanted to take a look at my throat. Yet after grabbing the torch and my eyes (spectacles), I dropped dead and I slept over the torch and my spectacle. Frameless spectacle somemore and it was already loose. Luckily it never break if not I would be blinded.

Today, my throat had been bad. Especially in the early morning. And I don't know if it was due to the weather or myself, I felt cold in the late afternoon. I should have gone to see the doctor but as I woke up late, and I still had that stupid Psycho tutorial to settle, I decided not to go.

Evening, went for my dance training again so can't go to see the doctor. I did pop pills for the swelling since last night. But I think it would be best to have antibiotic for the throat inflammation. I hope it won't go any worst.

Few days ago, it was my right feet giving problem. (Not my right hip problem but this problem is still there which never seemed to get totally well since last December.) It was at the bottom of my foot just right behind the smallest toe. It hurt when I step on my right foot which made me wonder how am I going to dance. Well, the pain was there since Friday and was worst on Saturday. It was still painful on Sunday morning while I was going for my training and it mysteriously gone gradually while I was having my training. After this problem was solve, and now my throat. Very jialat loh. I just can hope for the best as I having lesson tomorrow. No time for doctor.
