Journey back home

Being sick isn't very fun. It's been quite some time since I last fell ill. It has been God's special protection over illness. It's been good. Till i woke up on friday feeling horrible. I slept at 5am because i was studying for a test. It was probably not the best decision that i've made coz it's only a 10% test but our lecturer says the test covers everything from the beginning of the semester. Aih...anyway, I woke up feeling a bit sick - my throat felt funny. Went for lecture and for the test. Knew that i was sick when i was sneezing all the way in the lecture hall even though i had my sweater with me! Arrrgghh.... That wasn't very nice. After the test, i met with Regina for lunch. She expressed her worry when she saw me. And especially so when she knew i was going to JB alone to get my bus tix. But, no worries - superwoman me will be able to do it! (with God's tremendous help of course!!)

I tell u the amazing story of my ADVENTURE of going back.

So, i left home about 430pm coz i was resting back home before that. I had a serious doubt about going back coz i was feeling really really horrible!! I was not only dizzy, i had a bad headache, i was coughing, i was sneezing, my throat ached! Aih....But, NOPE! Once decided to go back, by hook or by crook, i will go home! So, i left about 430pm. Got to kranji mrt bout 510 or 520(?) Den, there was a MASSIVE traffic jam. I think the bus driver was a malaysian. He drove like a typical one. Cutting into the lane that was moving faster - during a traffic jam!!! Anyway, at about 615pm, i decided not to wait anymore. So, i got down frm the bus and walked! Yes, walked all the way to the Woodlands Checkpoint and from there walked ALL THE WAY to JB's Checkpoint! I was almost dying edi. With all the fumes from the vehicles, i thought i was gonna faint there and then! Thank God for sustaining me man!!! REALLY!!! Summore, i had with me a 2.8kg laptop!! As i was walking from Woodlands to JB, i felt like a refugee....Hahaha...well, MANY MANY Malaysians were doing that as well. For the first time, i didnt like the idea of being in Malaysia. I think the"fresh" air caused my lungs to be contaminated even more!!

So, cut the long story short, i reached Larkin at about 730. Aih.....THe 3 hour journey from Singapore to Johor! Aih..THat was very long!! So, finally got on a stupid bus!! Why i say stupid? CoZ....the bus was filled with men! I freaked out man!! Quickly say my prayers. I was darn scared la. Summore, i was ALONE. No male escort!! Haha....I've never demanded a male escort until now. Going to JB is scary ok!! I think living in Singapore has caused me to be very protected! The air-cond was killing me! And these guys were smokers!! Altho they didn't smoke in the bus, but u can tell wan. I was suffocating!!

The bus departed at about 810 or 815. Arrrggghh....Was suppose to leave at 745! Anyway, 20-30 minutes after it departed, we met with an accident!Luckily it was nothing serious. Our bus driver bang into another van. I was just so afraid that he bang a motorcyclist! luckily, no one was injured. So, continued my irritating journey! Altho i was dead tired (from the 2 weeks of sleeplessness), i still couldn't manage to sleep! So, that wasn't very good.

But the best part of the journey was when i looked out of my window and saw the black bleak sky with shinning stars that filled the sky!! Last week, when i walked Gloria out to buy something, i looked at the sky and it was reasonably starry. Well, it's very rare to see starry skies in Singapore - coz its so bright eh. And i told her about how i've alwiz enjoyed laying down on the ground and just looking at the sky filled of stars! MAGNIFICIENT!!! I donno why i looooove stars so much. Probably because when i look into the bleak sky and den see somthing shimmering, it reminds me of God's love for me - so vast that i can't gather them all together but yet so definite! So vast that i can't help but feel so loved even when things are dark and gloomy! The work of HIS hands!!!

Anyway, i reached KL about 120 or 130am. yeap...called my mommy to come and pick me up since it wasn't really safe to be in KL all alone and taxi fare would have cost a bomb! So, mommy and daddy came and pick me up with JeeAun sleeping in the car as well! How nice! Mom asked me whether i had dinner already a not. I said i did but i also mention about going to Jalan Pasar for KL's best siew yoke!!! Haha....parents laughed at me coz my mommy already guessed that i will ask for that! How nice is it to be back at home with people who know u best!! :)

Actually, i wasn't craving for it coz i had my cravings satisfied already - thanks to someone! :) But, i tot since we were already in KL, might as well lar rite...But, nope! My father said another time. I agreed. Still was feeling horrible. But my father brought us for supper near our home. Came home and slept coz mom and dad have to get up early to go for BSF Leader's training - their weekly saturday morning routine!

I on the other hand, slept like a pig. Not solely because i've been sleep deprived for about 2 weeks, I was also sick! So, i slept like a pig!!! Haha...woke up about 10 or 11am. hehehe...piggy rite? At least i think so lar...i remember sleeping at about 2 plus close to 3am. So, it's about 7-8 hours. Hmm, NORMALLY should sleep about 7-8 hours la..but because i've been sleeping on the average of 4 hours perday for 2 weeks liao, i've gotten used to it. Sianz! but, it was fun sleeping for so long again. hehehe....

Granny called me just to tell me to go see the doc. Obviously, i won't!! Hehe....She knew. So, she instructed my mom to bring me to the doc. Haha. My mom wanted to. I said NO. Hello?? it's the doctor! I won't la!! I am now eating ice-cream summore. Ok, rebellious me just doesn't want to listen. And, i'll be fine soon. Eating medicine and seeing the doctor sucks man!

I didn't know that my dad was worried for me when i told my parents i'll arrive about 1am. My dad said, "next time, travel earlier and take the train!" Imagine his horror when he heard that the bus i was in met with an accident! Anyway, it's pretty weird these days because my dad has never been worried for me (at least he never shows it). My parents never did. Wherever i went, far or near, it was never a custom to call back just to tell them i'm safe. Maybe it was a taken-for-granted thing. I asked them before. They said they knew i am able to care for myself. And i'm sure they trusted that God will take care of me too....But, why nowadays, my dad seem to worry for me? Whenever i go out late, he'll call and make sure i'm safe. I wonder why?! Of course my dad loves me....i'm not complaining!!! It's nice to know he shows his care! But, why these days? maybe because i've been away in Singapore most of the time? Hmm...i don't know either.

Anyway, getting ready to go for my brother's school concert. He's only 5 and he's playing the violin. Woohoo! When i was younger, my parents asked me whether i want to learn playing the violin. I said no, because i don't want to walk around with my head slanting one side. haha!

I saw my sister just now and she had her hair rebonded. Well, she spent about RM 200 on her hair! Haha.....guess what i did when i found out about it? Lecture her lar of course!! Hello?!! Spending RM200 on hair is a waste of money!! I mean, i am a girl too. I know what its like to want to do something to your hair. I know what its like to want to rebond ur hair. Most of us just hate the way our hair are rite? I thought of rebonding my stupid hair too...but to spend rm200 is craziness! I won't. I'm so stingy that to spend more than rm10 on my hair oso i complain! Now u know why i never ever cut my hair in Singapore?! I normally only spend rm5 on my hair lor!!! Unless i can get someone to cut my hair for S$2, i won't cut my hair in Singapore!!! hehehe...stingy eh? Nvm la...it's just my hair!! hahaha...so, pity my sister. See me oni kena lecture edi. Ok la..honestly, i wasn't THAT harsh on her. But of course, we all know that the lecture was inevitable! Haha....I came back to a new sister! She not only had her hair straighten, she also changed her specks....Ok la.....specks was a bit expensive - Rm270!!! but it was quite nice lar! Plus, i think specks are normally that price rite? I donno. Coz i've got perfect eye-sight!! hehehe...

k....leaving now. Ciaoz....
