Anything but Ordinary

coughs and sorethroats~ heck...i just want FOOD!

woke up this morning with the same headache i've had for the past 4 days... still coughing badly...as if i'm gonna cough out my internal organs anytime....SCARY!... and the sorethroat seems to be gettting worst!! mum managed to got me out of the hse and to the doc's at my granny's place(heard that the medicine there are good for cough).. anyway i had to take my chances....i'm desperate!
However, after a short session with the doc, i was pretty disappointed with the cough medicine....procodin?? oh man...that's like easily available from the SAF medical centre that i worked in..... the prescribed antibiotics was pretty much expected... then are the piriton(chloropheniramine) pills which apparently i've had dozens of it in my drawer but i wonder why i still asked for running nose medicine....guess probably i just thought that doc might have a better prescription than that! anyway lastly is the sorethroat medicine, that is pretty new to me, thus i might wanna tell myself it really does work... hee~ i'm pretty happy with the lozenges he gave me...it's herbal and really damn HOT but then...it doesn't burn my tongue like Fisherman's Friend does...SPLENDID! haa~
After my 1st dose, things weren't anything different... i still cough badly and my throat still has the kind of abrasion feeling.... anyway i couldn't care less, it's time to go to my granny's place for STEAMBOAT and ICE-CREAM CAKE!! yesh... i'm gonna insist on eating these and no one can stop me, cos they're MEANT FOR ME... to celebrate my lunar birthday! hee~






my grandparents celebrate my lunar birthday every yr in their place, usually steamboat for dinner but sometimes might be his trademark Hainanese Chicken Rice(my whole family's ALL-TIME FAVOURITE)... we'll never get sick of it, cos we're HAINANESE!! and i'm really proud to be one! hee~ However, this time, i've invited my LONG-LOST buddy, Weiming to the dinner...He bought me a Beach Volleyball for present!! haha...SWEET!! we knew each other ever since my sis knew his 2nd elder bro...(dun ask me exactly when i started knowing him) anyway, i take it as 17 yrs... since nursery sch.... as a rough figure..
man...he's still pretty much the same as he is, several yrs ago before we went to different sec sch and only managed to contact each other again a yr ago...
anyway...after the dinner, we had like half an hour to spare before cutting the cake, so we managed to meet up with another of our long-time friend Guoyi, only that we only know him since pri sch...which is also pretty long...close to about 8 yrs.. he's the kind of rugged, ah beng with the hoarse voice who loves to crap around...(i think i learnt my craps from him..haha~) so i invited him to my granny's place to try the cake... had a wonderful time reminscing the old times with the 2 of them...from the volleyball school team days to the days when we were disturbing the mentally unsound residents staying in the neighbourhood....yesh, we were so mischievous that now, i still couldn't believe that i was part of it too! haha... eventually, i told them that i'm currently going thru bike lessons....they were pretty stunned by it and promptly advises me not to carry on... Guoyi showed me the tattoo on his right arm which he had to have, just so he can cover those scars he obtained thru bike accidents.... both of them are bike veterans...telling me all about their experience of riding bikes, their accidents...how they managed to cheat death so many times.. just scars to remind them how close they were...Man, this this no Final Destination, but they said that they are ready to hang up their helmets anytime and have no wish to see me walk down the same path as them...
Well....what they've said has truly influenced me... many pple has suggested the same thing to me, but i always thought that they were just overly concerned... now i start to tell myself," should i really just quit now since i'm just getting started? or should i just get on with it and finish the whole course?"... i decided to give myself sometime to think about it before i make my decision....
so we bid goodbyes to each other, before i head towards the carpark and drive my mum, my sis and me home....
