My Birthday!

I just turned 29 years old today… nothing special about it, well at least that’s what I thought!..

The 1st person to wish me was Kevin… he called me at 12 midnight just to wish me. I was sleeping and I had a bad migraine for the past 2 days… Anyway we talked for about 30 minutes.. he went on about his tattoo and some other things which I cant remember because I was too tired and I wanted to sleep so that I don’t end up waking up in the morning still having a migraine. As soon as I got off the phone with him.. I received an sms from Azie... then later part of the day i received more sms from Annie, Vadai, beemboy and my brother… I didn’t have any credits so I didn’t reply the sms until later today.. oo and i had a call from Kalai too... so unexpected!

I woke up and went to work as usual.. thinking that its just another day ... As I walked into the school all the teachers gave me big hugs, kisses and wished me Happy Birthday. During music period, the whole school sang for me *aww so sweet* and through out the day.. I had birthday wishes from all the students and some of the parents too. Which was very nice coz it really made my day. I was conducting my class and one of my students from London who is only temporary here for 1 month came up to me and started a conversation….

Jett: *british accent* Aunty!! Is it really your birthday?.
Marie: Yes it is!
Jett: *british accent* But where is your cake?
Marie: I’ll buy 1 tomorrow.
Jett: *british accent* But your birthday is today
Marie: Yes but I was too busy to go and buy a cake today.. I’ll bring one tomorrow ok!
Jett: *british accent* ahh thats lovely... will you share it with me?
Marie: Of coz.. the whole school can have some too...
Jett: *british accent* Aunty…. How old are you now?
Marie: I’m 29 years old
Jett: *british accent* Wow…. You’re really old!
Marie: Yes, I know
Jett: *british accent* Aunty!!
Marie: Yes Jett?
Jett: *british accent* I don’t want you to die!!
Marie: What made you think that I was going to die?
Jett: *british accent* well my dad said sometimes people grow old and they die…
Marie: I’m not that old Jett, don’t worry I wont die, I’ll still be here tomorrow and the day after that and many more years to come… ok?
Jett: *british accent* ahh great!! Then I can get you a present tomorrow…
Marie: so sweet of you… Thanks!

Heheh.. children these days… they get the impression that once you get older it means your 1 step closer to the grave..hheeheh.. so cute!

The teachers made a collection… they asked me what I wanted so I requested for an oven toaster… Great!.. now I can toast stuff.. *toast anything and everything she can think of* Jamie and Jessica will enjoy my gift more then me … since they making bread pizza, in fact they are the ones responsible for breaking the last toaster I had and the one before that too!. I shared my birthday with another teacher, she decided to give a lunch treat today and I’ve decided to do mine on Monday. My mother decided to sponsor the lunch and cook a few dishes.

My day went on rather well, I had a salary increment and I’m very happy about it… now I have more money to spend! Heh yea rite… All my money are for my bills and credit card *rolls her eyes* . Anyway, after school I came home chat online with Kasey for a while and to my surprise the whole channel knew it was my birthday… wow I must be very popular! It was nice and I had a fun time online. I went for my therapy session with Riz, had some new programs reviewed but luckily he didn’t throw any tantrums today… everything went well. I didn’t do anything special at home, no cake, no favorite food or any surprise guess waiting for me… in fact it was just a normal day.

Azie and Basil is taking me out for dinner tomorrow night , I’m not sure where we are going but I was told to get ready at 8pm! *salutes Yes Sir!!*…. Since Vadai and Chris been asking when I’m going to have a party so that they can eat my mothers food, I’ve decided to have it on the 3rd of February… yet to confirm of coz have to see if everyone is free on that day!

Sadly my bf cant join *sob sob*

Doctors and Medicine

Ok not many people know this about me.. but I’m actually terrified of doctors! Yes!! Im freaking terrified of them!!! I don’t mind being friends or dating them heheh… but .. Hell I wouldn’t want to go see them if I need medical attention.. normally that would be the last thing I do. If I get sick I’ll wait and see if I can get better on my own …

I’m not really sure if it’s a phobia or it’s just my mind playing tricks on me. Well I have had a few bad encounters with doctors before.. and the dentist… ooo the dentist.. I wont even go into that story… , Anyway, I hate medicine especially pills and I CANT stand pain. When ever I get sick… I can be the most difficult person to deal with.. I would normally refuseeeeeeee to see a doctor no matter how bad it was. A few times my mother or my sister had to call some of my friends or ex-boyfriend to talk me into going to the clinic… I get even more sick when I think about seeing a doctor… I normally tell people I went to the clinic but I didn’t… yes.. I lied each time people ask me “Did u see a doctor?”

Here is why I avoid going to the Clinic…
There is always a doctor there!! Duh!!!
The doctors always… I mean ALWAYS gives me an injection on my butt cheek… why me?? Why always on my butt cheek????? Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy???
They prescribe medicine and I hate medicine… and I have to make sure I finish them. Which I normally don’t.
I’ts freaking expensive! And why would I want to waste my money seeing a doctor when I don’t even take his advise or take my medications.

The problem is… I can never take pills without throwing up all over the place… I hate that the most… I really can’t stand it. Each time I throw up I feel like I’m going to die. The pill will never go down!!! Sometimes before trying to attempt to swallow a pill I would take at least 10 to 15 minutes holding the pill and trying to tell myself “ it’s ok… everything is going to be alright” well it never works anyway… I tried smashing the pill into a powder form and mixing it with water or juice… but the taste alone will make me throw up again… *ughh* I must admit that I have been cheating myself… I’ve flushed down antibiotics… hidden them in the trash.. purposely drop them some where and even got a secret hiding place where I hide most of it since I was a child. *wont tell where the hiding place is*

Now lets see… my medical history… I had all the common illnesses as a child and chicken pox 3 times (age 12, 15 and 18). I had an accident when I was 7 years old.. got run over by a motorcycle.. I only suffered the pains when I was 12 years old. My Aunty *my boss* took me to see a doctor and she made an appointment for me to go take an X-ray.. I freaked out and got sick after the x-ray. I went back to the doctor with my x-ray the next day and found out that I actually have hairline fractures on my ribs the tiny bones sticking out, is the one that was causing me all the pain, sometimes small bruises appear all over my body. There was nothing that the doctors can do, accept hope that my ribs will heal itself… I remember the exact words “some pain we just have to live with” of coz she gave me some painkillers but I never took them. Hmm what else…. Oh yeah.. I have a weak back, sinus, migraine and tonsillitis and I'm dying... ok just kidding...

Ok I was referred to a chiropractor by my previous company.. but I never called or made the appointment to see him. I had serious migraine attacks for years, the doctor that was treating me recommended that I see a neurologist .. After he explained what test will be done.. I said “Adios amigos.. I’m out of here!!” I never went to see the neurologist again!. The ENT specialist advised me to get my tonsil removed but I was too scared that it would be a painful procedure so I never took his advise. Oh yea, and my stomach problems… I often had those.. very bad ones in fact.. every one kept pestering me to get a scope done .. go see a doctor.. do something about it.. etc. etc. etc.... *ignored those people* but I later found out that it wasn’t my stomach… I was actually wheat intolerant! So that problem solved!! As long as I don’t eat anything that contains wheat in it… I’ll be fine. Goodbye maggie mee... astalavista whole wheat bread... but I will NOT give up pasta!! even if it kills me....

Recently I was advised that I needed to take some health supplements/ multivitamins. Well after considering that it was for my on good I went to the pharmacy and got some. The 1st thing that went through my mind was “ how the hell am I going to swallow this pill?” unfortunately I said it out loud and the sales girl heard me.. she said “You want in liquid form?” heh.. I told her no.. I rather not taste it… I’ll stick to the pills. Now I’m 28 years old turning 29 very soon…. well actually another 2 days to be exact.. Anyway, I never took any multivitamins before.. so I look at the tablet and I keep thinking… “how am I going to get this down??” I broke it into half.. and it still look big… I broke it into 4 portions… and couldn’t break it anymore… I took a piece of banana and swallowed it bit by bit. After 1 month I can now take have a pill without a banana.. hah! There’s progress!!! But I always have something sweet to kill the taste in case I feel like vomiting.

Ok since I started going to the gym again.. and this time being more serious with my workout and actually carrying weights, I am now on a high protein diet.. so have to make sure I get enough protein .. got some other vitamins from GNC too.

Now I’m suppose to take this multi vitamin twice a day, one after breakfast and one in the afternoon. I tried that today.. it took me 5 minutes to actually pop it into my mouth.. I quickly drank water and tried to swallow it.. but the capsule just floated in my mouth and I almost choked on it… ok fine!!! Try again for the 2nd time…. I pop it back into my mouth and drank some more water… it went down… Yay!!! But it came back out immediately… god!! I felt like dying… I washed the capsule.. it was all soft and sticky.. I popped it in my mouth again and just drank my water … I kept on drinking until I forgot about the pill… finally it went down! Hoorayyyyyyyy!!! I felt like I just given birth… after that I had something to eat and I was ok…. 2nd pill was easy.. I already know if I drown myself by drinking water the pill will eventually go down… so that’s what I did… I got my water bottle ready .. I have 1000ml of water… nothing can go wrong now… pop 1 capsule in my mouth and just drank the water… I was like I was in a water drinking competition… I almost finished all of it… and manage to get it down… by the time I was done.. I felt so full I wasn’t hungry anymore… drats!! I ate half my lunch… oh well… I’ll just have to get use to taking pills… I don’t know why it keeps coming out.. I hate when that happens. Now I have to go through the same shit again tomorrow.. somebody just kill me!

blog update!

Hmm where shall I start? ….

Oscar as everyone knows is very active and smart dog. Last Friday my heart almost broke into pieces when I saw him collapsing and loosing control over his body. He was having a seizure, his legs and body curled up and it scared the freaking life out of me… he started throwing up and drooling. I almost cried because I couldn’t do anything but comfort him and help him to calm down. I stayed up all night watching over him… he had it twice that night. I felt so sad to see him like that.. my mother and I was so worried about him. We though he was going to die, I'm so scared to loose him. I called my friend who is a Veterinarian… he said that it is likely that my dog has epilepsy and he has to be treated for it. He advised me to get some test done.... Oscar is ok now.. back to his usual self but I will be taking him to see a veterinarian soon. I really don’t want this to happen again… cant bare to see him go through that again.

Phillip Wain… Yes! I renewed my membership and I have a target to reach this year… no more fooling around and doing casual exercises… it’s weight training time!! I kind of like it actually… but the following day is terrible… my whole body aches. Azie made a bet with Vadai so that means she has to work extra hard. She is very motivated and is going to win the bet… so Vadai be afraid!!! Be very afraid!!.. After 1 year of going there we just found out that there is a special parking rate for members at PW at RM1 only.. being idots… Azie and I have been parking outside and paying RM2.70 per entry and sometimes RM4.20 per entry even.. God Dammit!!! how the hell are we suppose to know… no one told us!!!! We found out from the Yoga instructor…

Victoria Secret.. 90% sale!!!! This is NUTS!!!! Azie and I spent hours at Complex Antarabangsa looking for bra’s!!! there were so many.. every thing is mixed up so we had to look for it ourselves, not many colours or designs to choose from coz most of the nice ones were taken already but still I manage to buy 4 on Saturday and Azie got 2. We went back there again on Sunday morning coz it was the last day of the sale. I bought 3 more bra's and Azie bought 3 also… the price was so reasonable RM15 each!! Wow !! what a deal! Azie bought the exact bra worth RM140 and they were selling it for RM15??? This is madness!! I love my new bra’s!! They have this kind of sale every few months so I gave the organizers my name and number.. they will inform me for the next sale. The bra's fit perfectly.. I took some pictures of me wearing them but hell I’m not going to post it here!!

New Year!

Ok so it’s 2007 already… it’s a bit too late for me to wish everyone Happy New Year… but just for the sake of wishing.. Hey!!! Happy New Year!! *goofy voice “Nobody Cares!”*.

Christmas came and went, I had a good time.. it was nice to spend time with my family. For those who don’t know… I actually HATE Christmas.. why? Well I always end up spending a lot of money leaving me with nothing at all when Christmas is over and other personal reasons that no one has to knoe about.

There is always more work for me to do and I end up not getting enough rest while everyone else is having a jolly good time. I spent days sewing curtains, cushion covers .. for my house, my sisters house and my brothers house and some how every year someone will always ruin, disappoint or annoy me during this time. I didn’t have an internet connection and there were no cyber café near by… I was so bored and I miss chatting with my friends!

Kevin came to Malacca to get a tattoo done, As soon as he arrived I took him to see Pio. I knew Pio since I was 8 years old.. he was a good friend of my brother.. we all grew up together. He is quite a good tattoo artist and very talented. Kevin wanted to have a Harley Davidson engine tattooed on his right arm… I got him the picture and emailed it to him.. but he forgot to bring the bloody picture that I sent him instead he brought a picture in a magazine.. which is not clear. I convinced Kevin to choose another design and get the tattoo done. He took 2 hours to go through all the designs, finally he found one.. “The Grim Ripper” he agreed to do it… it was a big tattoo that covered his whole left arm. It took Pio 4 hours to complete the tattoo but it turned out VERY NICE!! The tattoo would have cost Kevin close to RM1000 but because he was a friend of mine.. Pio only charged him RM500… pretty good deal eh?? YUP! Freaking good deal… Pio wanted to do a tattoo for me… I could choose anything I want and it would be for free… but I’m not about to torture myself and go through the pain again… I took a rain check on this offer… maybe next time.. maybe NEVER! Pio also offered to do a tattoo for both of my brothers… a really big one that will cover their back… also for FREE! My brothers are considering the offer… and most likely they are going for it!

The weekend is here and so is Cleo.. that means there wont be much sleep for me. Tomorrow we are heading to he club and party with the gang. Hopefully I can sleep through Sunday. For one whole month being glued to the PC and sleeping less then 3 hours a day was pure madness!! I have to start drinking coffee again.. that’s the only thing that can help me relax… that’s the only way I’ll sleep through the night. I just had a cup of strong black coffee *yum* I’m off to bed now…*feeling sleepy* Time to go to dream land… Adios *zZzzZzzzz*
