Its been a week!

Mood: Dusted and stiff

Its been a week since I wrote anything in here. Well, its not because of laziness, dying, getting kidnapped or getting the internet connection to be cut. Its just that I have finally entered the real working life.

I realised that, because of an itsy bitsy change in my life, I have to entirely reschedule and reorganize my whole life just to accomodate it. Its tiring no doubt. Just as tiring as getting food poisoning. here's a brief recap..

Sat: went to my gramma's to see her after her Umrah trip. She bought me 2 beautiful black Jubahs. Wonderful. I am just musing with myself why the extra attention when it comes to me. I'm beginning to scare myself since it seems that too many grammas have a soft spot for me.

Sun: Accompanied my parents to Geylang Wet Market. It'll be demolished at the end of the year so, might as well capture the atmosphere and the essence [im not talking abt the smell or the icky feeling of walking thru a WET wet market] of it before it goes. I had an idea of capturing them thru my lens too. But for that, I shall be dressed in non slippery sports shoes and cotton clothes. Anyway, I learnt alot of malay kueh's names. Had no idea since all kuehs go straight to my mouth.. hehe. Oh and I swung by to another gramma's place who also came back from Umrah who bought me some Arabic tea. Karkadeh to some of you who are familiar with it-hibiscus tea to those who don't.

Mon: Had an interview for an Assistant Teaching post in a kindergarten and was employed on the spot. WOAH... really fast. So familiarised myself with the teachers and the centre and helped with the setting up of the classroom for the start of the new school term. The best part of it all is, I'll be teaching Malay. [Pray that I don't ruin the kids' future in their Mother Tongue.. hancur betul.. kang aku dah kluar dgn kamus nie. jgn main2.. Eng to Malay dictionary tau...]

Tue: Had the worst morning of my life. Came down with food poisoning after class on monday. I literally squeezed myself dry of fluids.

And it came out both ways.

I even threw up water that I sipped. After much torture and suffering my parents dragged me to the clinic at 4am to get a jab. It was heaven sent. The stomach pain, the vomiting and everything else just paused. And i finally get to sleep. But I woke up super uber dehydrated and nagged along by my mum to get ready to go JB since there isn't anyone home to look out for me. So I packed my meds, some glucose water, 2 big bottles of cold water, a banana, raisins and apples so I will get sustanence while on the way there. Grocery shopping has never been sleepy for me. Never try plonking around along the busy aisle at Giant while resting on the big trolleys. Its either people or racks of instant noodles that will be roadkill.. -_-" I ran over both...

FYI: Shisha at Kotaraya damn cheap at RM12! many variety too. and they actually do the cold shisha too!! woot!

Wed: went to work at the centre again, did some cutting and laminates. labelling and what nots. and then rushed off to school. Was kinda blurred due to the medication.

Thurs: Work again.. but was given the lesson plan. Finished the setting up so Fri be off. I had to learn alot of new childrens' malay song and nursery rhymes that i have not heard since MY days in kindergarten. and did OT till 7 pm. Bloody hell.. Im already getting the jitters of teaching. But Atul and Darwish came by to sleep over.. heheh they so cute. he actually sang for me Akon's I'm So Lonely. Love the way he screams my name and hugs me before saying 'eew' after I return his kiss..

Fri: Had a swell time talking about ghosts and sharks with Darwish. Playing congkak with Atul is a nightmare since she 'steals' the marbles. Oh.. and I got new beds today. They are okay.. but the mattress, its like sleeping on concrete floors. They are so hard!! Darwish said this while jumping up and down on it, 'Bestnyer, you ada stage!'

thats about it. I'll update this in a while. I really need my sleep. speciaL-K, this post is for you actually since you been asking for it.

toodles. i shall try to sleep on the 'concrete' spring mattress. If not, I'll resort to sleeping on all of my 6 pillows.
