my sis is enjoying every single minute of her extremely free life.

now that AS Finals have started (last week actually)...

i am also enjoying every single minute of my extremely free life.

would you believe me if i told you that?

anyways, got sick last week. woke up on saturday feeling like i just swallowed five bags of sand. throat was burning and super dry. obviously the only logical thing that follows is a very bad sorethroat.

then comes sorethroat's best friend to accompany him: fever. a normal human's temp is about 36.4 but my normal temp's usually 35.5. (i'm cold-blooded.) so its easy to know when i'm coming down with a fever.

first person to consult: nick the uncertified doctor.

as usual, he popped vitamin c pill into my bottle, asked me to drink loads of water and gave me clarinase for my nose.

then my daddy no 2 said to get difflam-C for my sorethroat. so we went pharmacy to get it. i got dequadin too! i love it! i used to fake having sorethroats when i was young just so my grandma will let me suck those yummy lozenges :)

next day, felt damn crappy. my real daddy told me to take panadol before going to bed to stop the fever. and he asked me to go pharmacy to get med for my sorethroat. cos i needed to AT LEAST be able to sit for my exams today. so i did.

i took the med the pharmacist gave me and about 2 hours later in the afternoon, my right eye swelled to the size of a golfball. was starting to get a teeny bit worried so i asked hank to look at my eye.

me: hanky look at my eye. its swollen.

hank: i don't see anything.

me: its so red. LOOK. there's a small bump under my eye.

hank: its your eyebags.

me: my eyebags ARE NOT RED. my eye is swollen! is it cos of allergy to the med she gave me?

hank: NOLAH. if its allergy your face will be blooming with it already.

me: *stares* thank god you're not going to be a doctor. and you're not helping.

i was really REALLY panicking cos the last thing i would ever want to do is to go to school with an eyepatch.

me: NICKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!

nick: yes jan? WOW your eye!

me: waa nick look! its so swollen and red. AND there's a small bump under my eye too. maybe an insect stung me?

nick: *takes a closer look* wow what are the odds that TWO insects stung you at the exact same spot under BOTH your eyes? cos there's a small bump under your left eye too.

at that point i almost passed out. only thing worse than wearing an eyepatch to school is wearing TWO eyepatches.

me: *super panicking and about to cry* ok i'm calling my daddy.

obviously i have him on speed dial :)

me: hello daddy?

daddy: (insert sweet fatherly words here)

me: daddy my eye is really swollen. and my other eye is starting to swell too. is it cos of allergy to the medicine?

and i am expecting words of comfort from him. cos he is the family doctor (unofficially.)

and you know what he did? HE LAUGHED!!!! which is the last thing i expected him to do.

me: DADDY ITS NOT FUNNEEEEEEEEEYYYY. nobody's helping!

after a few minutes, he stopped and gave fatherly advice, like go back to the pharmacy and ask and if it gets worse, see a doctor. a legal one. one with a cert.

then lucky came in.

lucky: what happen to you?

me: *covers right eye with hand* nothing. *smiles*

a while later i forgot and accidentally let go of my eye.

lucky: what HAPPENED to you???

me: YOU SEE!! EVEN LUCKY NOTICED MY EYE!!!

hank: what??? it's nothing wad!!!!

either hank's just trying to make me feel better (which SO DID NOT!) or he's just hank.

me: if you're trying to make me feel better, IT'S NOT HELPING!

hank: what! fine would you rather i go "OH NO JAN! YOUR EYE'S SO SWOLLEN! IT'S A TUMOUR AND YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO CUT YOUR EYES OUT!"

=.=" i'm telling you, there's a reason why there are more female nurses than male ones out there.

but thank god the swelling went down after a few hours. didn't dare to take the med anymore. DO NOT want my eyes to start swelling again and be their entertainment for the day.

lost my voice yesterday, sounded like a squeaky rusty wheel.

which josh thought was a very sexy 'man' voice.

and which nick thought sounded sexy cos i sounded like a 'rough girl'. ......... nick i am just speechless. you kinky male.

but hurray hurray today's a nice day cos i got my voice back! still sound a little bit hoarse but still, i can talk again!!!

i hate getting sick.






going back once again to the question: WHAT DO TORTOISES EAT?

some of the answers i've got from my trusty people:

mel: "TORTOISES EAT NASI LEMAK LAH! cos they're malaysian tortoises like that."

joanny: "JANICE THEY ARE CARNIVOROUS WATCH OUT AT NIGHT THEY ARE NINJAS THEY ATTACK YOU IN YOUR SLEEP!! (and eat you. hence carnivorous)!!!!!!!!!!!!"

hank: 'rocks.'

hmm...they all seem like REALLY good answers that i am facing a very tough decision trying to decide who's right.

but after asking my dear old sister last night, i know she HAS 100% GOT TO BE RIGHT.

me: eh what do tortoises eat? cos i've asked so many of my friends and from the answers i've got, they all seem to make so much sense i'm having trouble deciding who's right.

her IMMEDIATE reply: "tortoise food."

NOW WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT HUHHH?

man now you can ask me what ANYTHING eats and i'll SO TOTALLY be able to tell you!

you can even ask me what the great endangered man-eating australian brokeback Ahmad Zahid dinosaur eats and i'll be able to tell you what they eat!!!!

I CAN!

do you want to know what they eat?

answer: the great endangered man-eating australian brokeback Ahmad Zahid dinosaur food!
