running tap, itching throat

i know i have to post photos of my party, but that will come slightly later when i actually have time to do so. now i'm rushing to even finish this post so that i can move on to START on my projects.

i'm sooo sick right now. sneezing non-stop (it feels quite horrible when you have the sensation to sneeze but after a while it goes away...=( ), coughing with super dry throat, and then having water running down the human tap the whole day. and i think my body's in a perpectual borderline fever, which explains lethergy, but not sufficient to stop me from actually doing work and moving around.

once every year, i'll fall sick with such symptoms, and then take like ages to recover. this is the time this year i guess. (why does it have to fall during recess week!)

21st feb 2009: spent my actual birthday sleeping the afternoon away after reaching home from the chalet, and then treating my family to some dinner at joo chiat. simple but yeah nice day spent, cos at least i spent it with my family who put in so much effort for my party.

(i actually drove on my own too! although it's only to send cherry from the chalet to the bus stop outside.=P but i felt quite proud of myself! without anyone beside me to observe how i drive. heh.)

22nd feb 2009: went out early in the morning to get charles' present. met mum at marina square and ate with her at billy bombers! so seldom do we actually dine together at such places. glad she loved the food! but we ate so much we almost exploded.

then charles party at night! good thing lizhan picked me up! if not i really wonder how i could actually end up at that ulu place. party was good, even though i felt quite lonely cos didnt really have anyone to talk to over there. hope charles like the present i got him!

but somehow i didn't enjoy myself that much cos of one thing. xiu wen msged me and said that dylan's mum is trying to look for a new tutor to replace me. i mean yes, i know i can't really click well with him and he's not exactly showing improvement and i wanted to quit quite long ago too, but somehow i felt quite bad about it. like, it's my third year teaching him and seems like i didn't help him at all. and i'm just letting my source of income fly away just like that.

that's why for the entire night i was in a daze. i felt so useless, and yet i can't even do anything about it. ah well. maybe the mum will break the news to me tmr when i go for tuition. jun was saying that it's not my fault that our personalities clash, perhaps i should think of it that way.

and today was spent doing bizcomm. met xuhan at tampines early in the morning at 10am, then went over to jocelin's place at 1pm cos we felt we needed to discuss with the other two. on the way there, it started raining sooo heavily and even xuhan's umbrella can't keep both of us dry. by the time we reached joce's place (luckily i still remember how to get there), we were drenched!

and yes, it was my first time riding pillion on a bike. vincent offered a ride to the east and it was so tempting not to accept the offer cos well i could reach home so much earlier! and so, even though i had my mum's words "dun ever ride on a bike" deeply entrenched at the back of my mind, i still got onto the bike and had my first experience riding pillion. it actually isn't as scary as i thought it'd be, though i felt really quite vulnerable cos there's like no metal to surround you and you're exposed to any kind of danger!

but yeah he is a safe rider and i got a safe lift to somewhere near my home in like 20 mins. that's like 1/4 the amount of time i'd have taken if i took a bus home. only bad thing was that cos the wind kept blowing, everytime i opened my mouth, wind would get in and it really made my already dry throat even dryer. but gosh, hopefully i dun get addicted to riding pillion sia. if there's a first, there's bound to be the next and so on. just hope my mum won't find out and kill me.

and yes concludes the entry for the first three days of me being 21. now, i shall really move on to my projects. i'm scarily occupied by projects this recess week.
