I've been sick for the longest period eveeeer! I've been having blocked ears for, nearly 3 weeks now. Arrgh. I skipped 4 days of school in a row! (Ok, I'm not complaining about that, hahaha) and at one point when I had fever for 3 days I thought I was really, really down with H1N1, since I get fever every few years or so, and even then, only for a few hours. And all along when I had flu before the fever I told others, "No worries, I'll know if it's H1N1, cause I hardly ever get fever." So you can imagine my fear when I realised I had fever, and having a thermometer at home doesn't really help. I laid in bed one night struggling with.. sleep, fever, flu, whatever, and when I took my temperature it was 39.1 Celcius!
So I did the one choice I had left.. I prayed. And boy, did I pray hard. Now is NOT the time to have H1N1 (ok, it's never a right time, but read on) because my house could not afford TWO patients. Partly the reason why I never checked for H1N1 too I supposed, mom really couldn't bring me for a real check up and in my condition I didn't trust myself to drive too far.
But with an amazing God, the fever receded the next morning. Haha, I told God, even if it's H1N1, cause I strongly suspected it could have been that(I've never had high fever beyond a few hours before, even that was in form 2) He could easily heal me. And he did. :-) Well, the fever receded, my blocked ears stayed though, but I had the assurance it wasn't H1N1. Hehe.
And I'm feeling much better today. Still sleep-deprived though, because I had to wake up early to help out with Kiwanis today. That was partly my reason for trying to get well so quick, I really really wanted to make it for the Kiwanis fair today. :-)
It was.. well, it was a case of too many volunteers, even more than visitors. But it was a merry occasion, and I met up and talked to some of the teachers whom I used to work with before. Ah, I really miss the Kiwanis kids. Really, really. :-(
One conversation with a teacher had me smiling:
Me: I don't think I can come and help out these few months lah, STPM coming di...
Teacher: No you must come every Friday!
Me: Huh?? But there are no classes on Friday....??
Teacher: Yes exactly! So we can talk!
Hahahahaha. She didn't want me there volunteering to ease her burden. She wanted me on a non-teaching day to chat! How can you possibly do anything but love such people?
I've got so much I wanna do. Catch up with real friends, for one. A number of different friends have been asking me to hang out, but I simply cannot find the time to do so. I love friends :-) They just brighten your day! haha. Really, they do. Though most of them don't read this blog because I don't advertise it. But still, if you read this and you know you've been a real friend to me then know that you have contributed a looot to my 'hahahaha's and 'hehehehehe's in this blog (and in real life) despite circumstances. :-)
There are people who've basically written me off too, but it doesn't really hurt when you've got friends who really care. (Although those who frequently go 'how are you how is your family how is your studies how is your cat how is your dog how is your this how is your dad' kinda annoys at times, but I suppose it's an... interesting method of showing care lol!) And truth is, I know I've been bad at times too, failing to hold onto thinning friendships until a bare thread of friendship hangs on for dear life.. but sometimes everything is just so overwhelming, I end up being a useless friend. :-( I'll try harder.. when I can summon the energy. Hahaha.
STPM's coming!
And I'm.. totally.. unprepared. My Business 1 book still looks brandnew. Because I've not even read through 3/4 of it once before.
I've stepped down from the CF Committee '09(no '08 for me) last Friday, and well, this time it's really, like, forever. The last time I knew I still had the option of form 6. Now.. no more. I love the CF and all it's done for me, especially in terms of fellowship & prayer. While I haven't actually left it yet, stepping down signifies that my tenure in Taman Sea is running out. After all Taman Sea has done to me this year, I really look forward to leaving it, but leaving the CF permanently is heart-wrenching.
Oh oh, and Yellow House managed to win the GOLD for badminton inter-house this year! :-) Although this year was different from previous years because I didn't know my fellow players at all, the utter trust they had in me to plan the team's strategy was touching. Haha, learning Sun Tzu's Art of War has its benefits, really. Your mind can cover every area as it compares and contrasts the weaknesses and strengths of your team versus the opposition.
That's all for now,
God bless ya,
Jo
