Sick of Being Sick
26 December 2010
Wow. I have had the ... err, privilege to experience the most unforgettable - not in a good way - celebrations or supposed-to-be-celebrations in this year which has positively FLEW past.
First, my birthday. My seventeenth birthday. People say that the most important birthdays in a person's life are the 16th, 18th, 21st, and ... I don't know what else. Still, I think the 17th is quite important too! Hey, I'm sure there's something special about being seventeen or else there wouldn't be a magazine called Seventeen. If you get what I mean, haha.
I'm not going to elaborate on what happened during my birthday, but it was just awful, even compared to last year's, which was ... well, awful too, but mush less so. At least I got a nice old Coffee Bean Ice Blended Mocha with whipped cream and a healthy dose of chocolate powder on top last year (and thousands of calories, but oh, who cares, it was my birthday!). And my CO friends sang me a birthday song in the morning (yes, I had to wake up at the crack of dawn to go to school).
This year? *shakes head* It was even worse than any normal day, any normal SCHOOL day where I had to go to school and endure the teachers' incessant droning about things I detest and don't really want to care about.
Horrible though was the way I spent my birthday, I find it a pretty amusing story to tell to my friends, hahaha. I don't know why. To seek sympathy? As a form of entertainment? To make people feel guilty about neglecting my birthday (HAHAHAH)? Well I suppose it really was kind of ludicrous now that I look back at it.
At the moment, it was really despairing. Maybe it was the fact that it was my birthday and people generally have higher expectations of things on their big days, you know. Sigh, expectation is the root of all heartache, after all.
Not that I was expecting anything to happen. I mean, hello, I have to sit for the Maths paper the very next day, and Moral the next, then Add Maths and Physics. All the worst papers, wrapped into one whole soggy package with a large floppy ribbon on top.
Then. Christmas! Our, uh, annual Christmas celebration took place at our house this year, and I guess it's lucky it did, because I fell SICK. I don't know why. I woke up with a very sore throat and a throbbing head, and started sniffing uncontrollably.
There were so many fabulously yummy food - fat cocktail sausages with warm cheese oozing out of them (I ate them before), pizzas, my mom's superb Belacan Rice, fruit cocktails, all sorts of snacks, puffs overflowing with dollops of fresh whipped cream, spongy, soft cheese cakes ... (I am not trying to make myself miserable) - and I could touch none of those. BARGH.
AND it did not help that Eunice gave us two packets of Hersheys mini bar chocolates, and my sixth aunt gave us a giant bar of Hersheys Special Dark chocolate (yum), and there are the two packets of Hersheys Kisses I bought from Langkawi.
HERSHEYS OVERLOAD!!!!
(I really love Hersheys though. ♥)
Oh, a fridge-ful of lovely chocolates. Testing my ability to resist the temptation. Argh.
Sick on Christmas Day too. Not that I had any plans for the day. Slept for the whole afternoon and kept waking up at short intervals because my neck and shoulders hurt, and my body felt hot. Bargh.
Boxing Day, had stomach cramps first thing in the morning, it was totally awful and my peaceful sleep was disrupted.
Awesome right? I am SO going to give myself a huge reward. After the solo competition. Maybe I'll buy myself a gorgeous pair of shoes. HAHAHA. Okay, an excuse. But I really want some new pairs of (high-heeled) shoes, they make me happy even though I don't get to wear them that often.
Anyway, New Year is approaching. Haven't quite decided whether to make some (useless) New Year Resolutions so that I can give up on them after a few days or not. Hahaha. :D
