Me: Eh!

Someone: Head? I won’t give you any head!

Me: ?!?!?!?!

*everyone breaks into hysterical laughter*

Psst… no head for you to give lah. Doh!

Stef “marmie” refers to this as “Bunnie Blog”. Her rationale? She couldn’t think of a better name to call it… But I forgive her anyway. *beams adoringly at marmie*

I was just reading what I wrote in my previous entry and I absolutely cringed (okay, I cringe whenever I read my own stuff)… I guess I probably broke every rule for writing. All the fragments, wordiness and yada yada. Bah. As if I’d care. My main concerns right now are to recover from this darn flu and to personalize this blog.

Yeah, I’m still sick and I seem to be getting worse. It took quite a bit of effort to wake up this morning for work and with my brother’s help, I did! Yay! Normally he wouldn’t give a hoot about me whether I woke up or not. Not even if I reminded him to wake me up. He would conveniently forget about it the next morning. But today was different, he had to go to NUS for some robotic competition and he needed a guide (or is it a ride?).

So basically since 6am, he was “floating” in and out of my room trying to wake me up. It was freaky opening your eyes to see a figure peering at you. Anyhow, I managed to crawl out of bed at 7.15, did my shite and left the house on time with brother in tow.

Ahhh… once again I succumbed to the temptation of taking a cab to work. But I am sick! I couldn’t help it! *protests* Plus it gave me a chance to have a really good nap although I kept wishing I was back home in bed.

My flu got worse this morning while at work… and I developed a bad cough too! Ack! It was so bad I think my colleagues got a little paranoid and they urged me to come back home and rest… which I did, after manning the reception counter for 2 hours. I thought that was one of the greatest irony I’ve ever experienced… lemme describe the scenerio:

You walk into an office and part of the procedure requires your temperature to be taken. (Darn the Sars!) You comply and let your temperature be taken as well as fill up the form and logsheet required. But then the receptionist starts blowing her nose or cough really badly… now you wonder. Are you the danger or is this office the danger? Hmmm… I think if I were the visitor I’d scoot the hell out of the office.

But duty beckoned and I couldn’t say no. Hehehe…

Work aside, I’ve been surfing around looking at templates to beautify this blog of mine today. While they inspired me quite a bit, I haven’t really found one that caught my fancy. I would probably have to do one myself using my own pictures and all (instead of “borrowing” pictures like I originally intended *innocent smile*)… hopefully I can get this done soon. This lack of a proper template is driving me crazy and I don’t feel like blogging!

Actually I do have many thoughts streaming through this puny lil bimbotic brain of mine… but I’ll probably leave them for another day. I’m going to browse for more templates!

It just occurred to me that this blog was created 2 weeks after my birthday. I can’t believe how time flies! Sheesh. I’m old.

So finally I’ve gotten myself a blog. After eons of procrastination I’ve finally jumped on the blogging bandwagon… like millions around the world.

So what sets me apart? I dunno? I’ll just be myself I guess… and let my random thoughts speak. Finally penning them on paper, or in this case – online.

Whatever it is, this is mine. Demented thoughts or not…

Don’t try to judge me or think you know me. And if it’s trouble you seek… do yourself and me a favour… buzz off! I?m too tired to pick a bone with you.

Ready? Here we go?*takes a deep breath and plunges*

I was looking forward to this weekend since Monday! I craved sleep and all I wanted was a well-rested weekend, especially when I got bogged down by flu (no, not Sars). All I wanted was to sleep and recover but now that seemed like a tall order. I couldn’t rest! My house was a war zone! Chaos reigned!

Kids, kids everywhere… big ones, small ones, noisy ones, violent ones, boys, girls… screaming, shouting, crying… and of course their parents. It was madness.

Periods of tranquil broken in by cries or shouts of kids or their screaming, yelling parents. It drove me mad, insane. I nearly lost my mind. It didn’t help that I was feeling down…

I needed peace and quiet. That was all I sought.

And it didn’t help too that they baked chicken again on Saturday night. I love chicken. I really do? but it’s nauseating seeing the same brown fowl sitting on the dining table each Saturday night, sometimes even on a Sunday for the past month. Okay, maybe I exaggerated, but it’s been couple of weeks at least. Someone please pass me a plastic bag before I heave?

Anyway I felt really horrid today. The weather on Saturday was horrendously humid and I succumbed to the temptation of sleeping with the air-conditioning on and I had a really freaky dream last night. But I digress…

It was torturous sitting through 4 hours of tuition with three stubborn brats who simply refused to do their revision. I wonder how they can be so relaxed when their exams are around the corner. I was one nervous wreak each time the exams came round. Then again, I always studied at the last minute so that may explain why. *roll eyes*

I managed to come home to some peace and quiet but before I could thank my lucky star. The brat pack came. Argh! So once again, chaos reigns. With a pounding head I went and managed to grab some naptime… but awoke again to some massive noise pollution. I couldn’t take it anymore… I broke down.

If this chaos continue to reign
If relatives continue to overstay their welcome
I’ll be on a one way street to a mental breakdown
I wish they would all disappear from the face
Of this earth
Leave me alone in my solitude
That is all I seek
With their ever lingering presence
I’d always feel like a stranger
In my own home.

I feel myself sinking deeper… into the black hole that is all in my mind. But for now? I shall
seek solace in my sleep…
