falling sick during the exam period is totally the most zzz thing to happen, for lack of a word.

i've been sniffing and sneezing all day since yesterday, and it is really not fun at all. and because i thot i was a hero, i didn't eat any medicine till last evening, when i ate 2 useless panadol cold tablets. they didn't work at all till near midnight, but then again, i just had a hot shower then, so it could have been that those pills were useless, period. i don't know if it's the severity of my cold or the laopokness of the pills. i ate my other cold med this morning during church, which would normally work wonders after knocking me out. but just now when i awoke from my afternoon nap i started to sniff again.

*(insert whiny lyrics of an emo song)*

and i can't taste anything. all the food i ate today--pancake, noodles, cranberry bread--were of a monotone taste. my world has suddenly turned monochromatic. food is meaningless now. they are all made of paper. wo de tian aaah.

but i would have you know (since this is turning out to be close to an asking-for-donations post), that something good did happen during this Runaway Nose period. on a totally irrelevant note, but relevant to the last entry, i have thought and decided that my vaio lappy has been serving me well, and i don't need a macbook pro. for some time now i had been lusting after a macbook pro (though if you know me, my degree of lusting for a material good is actually the same degree as, say, one's lust for rice.) (meaning, if i already have noodles, i'll eat it and it'll make me full, and i will forget about the rice until i am hungry again. faham?). anyway. i have decided to be content, and let that 'want' go.

and then last night, my dajie said she'd give me her ipod nano, the generation before the latest, which i had wanted for some time but had forgotten about it (refer to above for degree of lust). it was a WOW moment, because...how cool is that! i did a shoulder dance at the dinner table to show my glee (since i was sniffing away right, any sudden, over-the-top movement will give rise to sneezing fits). hee. i am so blessed! :)

ok now i'm going to bathe. i hope to get well soon, cos now that i'm in this state all i want to do is sleep and sleep...
