wokay im baaackk and feeling much better, thank goodness and thank God. recovered my voice, though there's still remnants of dry cough left from time to time. still abit itchy.

am stuck in school now at the forum, am supposed to be reading up for my gender studies, but it's kinda dark here right now. it's raining damn heavily, and i cant figure out where the switches are. so i cant really do much now but to squint at this screen. just hope the rain eases up soon, or else id be breaking fast here all alone munching sandwiches and drinking 40 cents cup coke from the vending machine. yan's with her project group now, and is supposed to be going for some gamelan thingy at the botanic gardens or something later. though i doubt its still on given the heavy rain. guess we'll see how later.

anyway, imah has kindly put up some pics from the SAM production on her page, and me and yan are featured! thank you very muccchh.. so to those of you who's been wondering how we two look like, you might wanna check her link out ya..

it is very wrong timing to fall sick during the fasting month. on top of the inevitable feeling of slight hunger and thirst, being sick is making me all weak, cranky, and a bit of a grouch. its quite unfortunate for my closest ones, they get the brunt of my temporary short fuse-ness. very the sorry yeah.. aniwaes, ive been feeling unwell since last tuesday actually. got a sore throat at first, which eventually developed into a fluish, sinus-like condition. the nose turned into a leaking tap again, and on friday i somehow lost my voice too. i ended up going to work during the weekend sounding like a cross between a pre-pubescent young punk and a full grown adult trannie. no kidding. imagine how bad it was. talking was a real struggle la. and at times when i cough my chest feels like im stricken with pneumonia or something. pain siaaa.. but i dont think i'll be going to the doctor anytime soon. because it'll mean spending money. which means having medicine to eat. and because its medicine thats been paid for, i cant afford to let it go to waste. thus id have to skip my fast. which id prefer not to. weird logic but ok. i'll see how i am over the next few days first la... aniwaes, the missus was real nice in getting me some prescription medication from the pharmacy already. so lets just hope it works well enough la. *fingers crossed*

life in mono...

i think people change the most when they least see it in themselves. maybe i have been guilty of that. maybe you have. too.

apparently this is my 100th post. according to blogger. amazing!

aniwaes, it's been ages since i've updated. been too stretched and busy la, and also a tad lazy. and plus i dont seem to have any ideas on what to blabber about when i do come online. it's funny how i keep telling myself, ok there's this something i wanna post, or ok perhaps i could write about this thingy tonite. but ahh well all comes to nothing i guess... you get the idea...

school's very packed these days. in a way, i kinda think now that squeezing all my lessons into 3 days isnt such a good idea afterall. there's not really much leeway for me to find time to do some work in between. some days i end up staying back way late in campus to at least do something productive. home is such a distraction la. id end up falling asleep, play my PS2, slack around, watch whatever's on tv, and stuff like that. ive still got readings aplenty to catch up on, and deadlines are approaching for many assignments. oh god wish me luck.

yesterday was first day of fasting. the transition from normality to one of abstinence is quite challenging. gotta refrain from food and drinks, which is definitely tricky for a bottomless pit like me. though i tink whats more difficult is for us not to think negatively, not to bitch, and not to let our eyes roam. especially us guys. it's innate i guess.

it's not helped by the hot weather too. and by the fact that im kinda feeling sickish. the throat's aint that well, losing my voice a wee bit. overall the body is kinda achy and all. think it's coz i havnt been having enough rest. accumulated fatigue is a real killer la. not good indeed not good.

am still in school now by the way. quite saddening rite. not much a life lately. bah....

aniwaes, happy fasting to all muslims. buka-ing slots are now open. hahaha..
