JOanna’s Life

Yoyo! I was telling myself to update my blog like what? everything two weeks or maybe every month? but is hard lar…Life’s so busy : rushing from lectures to lectures, having Choir/Acapella training and lots and lots of practises/meetings/stress/lab reports and of course, lots of Zzz too. If not, would have fallen ill a long long time ago. Which I did, like 2 weeks before CNY. Started off with mild cough, then it got worse in the midst of one of my busiest week. With Chiness Chess IH (I was the person-in-charge of interhall C.Chess game for my hall) going on, Cheerleading competition and etc., i was having fever!!! OMG…tired+lack of rest+lots of work to be done+without the love&care&hush from mummy+without the back massage from daddy+without kacau’ing gor gor=fell sick, terribly…Then went to see doc in school and i thought he was trying to poison me. Gave me 500mg of antibiotic, 3 times daily. BUt the worst is, the 500mg PANADOL. 3 times daily too…Is my condition so serious?i wonder. Anyway, doc wanted to give me MC which i rejected his offer. Cos i went to see him during my break in between lecture. If i can tahan to go to class even without consulting him, i don’t find the need to get the MC from him. Of course, unless i went to see him for that reason —-> MC. Anyway, i only ate 1 dosage of the panadol and I stopped taking it cos it STINK when i urinate. Yacks… Falling sick made me feel pathetic that time, without mum and my roommate was so busy with her Cheerleading training, it seems like I was neglected, lost, sometimes. But the worst is not the fever (although having fever is quite "kang kor" in hokkien), it is the COUGH THROUGH THE NIGHT thing that was really irritating. I literally mean Cough Through The Night. It persisted for around 1 1/2 weeks before it got slightly better. I remember coughing from 9pm til 4am. Tried to sleep early to regain my strength and energy so that i can recover faster but ended a sleepless night.Aih…So tired. I wonder how did i manage to get to school the next day.Haha…Determination i supposed. Or a sense of guilt if i did go. I really don’t know.

So the cough lasted for 4-5 weeks. Even during CNY, i was not dare to eat any Mandarin Oranges. Because Mandarin Orange is very effective for the cough. You get what i mean? I mean that the moment you eat the Mandarin Orange, the next moment you’ll be coughing non-stop. Haha…So the first slice of Mandarin Orange i took this year was on 18th Feb 2006. Haha…Is not even CNY, but i think is still the first month of the Lunar Year, not sure. But anyway, enjoy the orange. Haha…Maybe it tastes better when you can’t get to eat it. =p

This week is my recess week from 18th Feb to 26th Feb. Initially i didn’t want to go back, cos there are tonnes of work for me to settle and lab reports to do. Head cracking! But 21st Feb is my bro’s bday. He can’t go home because he’ll be having classes(no hols for him =p). So what mum and I decided was to pay him a visit on Sat and Sun during the start of my recess week since Dad won’t be around for the weekend. Then mum will head back home and i’ll head back to Sg. But in the end, on Sunday, just before mummy went back, she popped this Q’s to me, "Do you want to follow me back?" Ooh….I really couldn’t resist the going home feeling, the look in my mum’s eyes….Haha…So i went HOme. Yeah! Home sweet home….And i actually stayed until Wednesday before i head back to NTU. WUahaha…

Oops…I still have lab reports to do-lah! ciaoz…
