i should have known better to rest my voice and throat when it just recovered. this happened just two days ago when i was staying overnight at woon ngiap's place
it all started when i started shouting woon ngiap's name for staining my adidas backpack with mud while riding on his bicycle that evening. there was a certain tone about my voice that made me think i was going to have a sore throat. true enough, my voice started to change after drinking a cup of ribena.
at first no one pointed out to me that my voice had deepened. i tried to convince them that there was indeed something wrong with my voice. none of them seemed to agree with me and passed it off as just my imagination.
until.
i came out of the shower, and when i tried talking to darryn, a hoarse, faint voice came out. i tried again. it was the same old weak and hoarse voice. oh no i thought, the bad throat is coming back. i asked woon ngiap if he had "pi pa gao", i drank two tablespoonfuls, but it didn't help much. it didn't help much either when all of them were laughing at my change of voice. darryn said it sounded like a low female voice, how helpful.
anyway, i just sent my dad to the hospital, he seemed to be having difficulty breathing and fast heart beating rates. i hope he will be okay, i don't want history to repeat itself.
not anymore.
random factoid: i love my family, however complicated it is.

If i could popularize a phrase, it would be "scared awake".
i had this freakish dream last night. well bizarre would be a better word, but i've no time for this. in the dream there was every single random human being that i've come across. they were all in my school campus, i was there too of course. my family, friends, acquaintances were all there.
apparently in my dream i had the ability to bring people back in time. remember the 26 dec tsunami, well it happened in my dream. but this time, not water, but earth. yes earth, a tsunami of pure soil and rocks and mud.
well the school campus was distorted, more like tunnels after tunnels you have to crawl through. the first scene of terror started when we saw a large wave across the sky - the wave of earth. and the first thing i heard was my mom shouting "that's gonna kill all of us! run!"
and so we did, everyone scurried around like rats, and the building (somehow the school morphed into a building) was about to collapse, with earth falling on our faces. everyone of us cringed, awaiting our destiny - which is to die.
and somehow we landed safely on ground. after that we went to a restaurant for dinner.
ISN'T THIS A BIT STRANGE?! I THINK I'M GOING CRAZY.

the saga continues..
claire: weren't you supposed to have gotten married by now?
audrey: weren't you supposed to have died by now?
claire: do you want to get rid of me that bad, claire?
audrey: and that's the second time you made that mistake and called me claire! must i remind you that YOU'RE claire, and i'm audrey your twin!
claire: ok how many times must i remind you that this is not a normal soap opera. besides, i'm get a little confused due to a lack of oxygen into my brain.
audrey: you're saying you're still sick and dying?
claire: i just had a little longer time to live, that's all. besides, and i did want to see my twin marry the Shadowtrader.
audrey: well as you see i'm dressed for the wedding today. but i have reason to believe he's not coming.
claire: and why is that?
audrey: i think he grew impatient with my lack of knowledge of the stock market. and he's been distracted, always texting.. i don't know who.
claire: oh really? -cell phone chimes-
audrey: but enough about me, so tell me, your illness is still taking over your body and you're ready to kick the bucket at any time?
claire: -sob- well it's a sensitive subject, and i really not like to discuss about it right now.
audrey: and why is that claire? because you're afraid i'll find out the truth?
claire: what are you squawking about, audrey?
audrey: i know that you're not really dying, claire.
claire: all of us are dying slowly each day..
audrey: i thought i'll help you along then, towards your goal. -takes out water gun from bag and points it at claire-
claire: oh audrey.. -takes out another water gun from bag and points it at audrey- give me some time to defend myself!
-MUSIC-
audrey: don't think that you can get away with killing me.
claire: don't think that you can pull your deadly gun on me.
audrey: i dare you to!
claire: i dare you to!
-SUDDEN FIRING NOISE, PAINED EXPRESSION ON BOTH FACES-
the end of audrey and claire?
... lol.

Mystery of the tenants - Part 2
weird, thick-skinned tenants that drive me crazy. not to mention that i've been figuring out what that huge yellow talisman stuck on their door was meant for.
anyway, a few days ago i caught the female tenant in a conversation with my mum. and i heard words like "weekends, holidays, family, Malaysia, stay".. and if you linked the words properly, it's not hard figuring what she was talking about.
i got into the room and asked my mum what was it all about. she replied that the couple wanted their family over at our place for a week or so.
being the usual anti-tenant me, i looked at her in a jaw-dropped expression. and the stereotype of malaysian families came : they all have a herd of children. my house is going to be a freaking playground for those kids.
well my stereotype was proven right. just yesterday evening their family came : 2 teenager boys, 1 little girl. well at least the guys were semi-adult - my house would not be a playground, phew.
yesterday in the wee-hours of the morning, when i was still surfing the internet, they all slept in the same room. 5 people sleeping in a room that is like half the size of my bedroom - amazing, isn't it. oh and did i mention that their room is not air-conditioned? they could still sleep with doors shut and window flaps half closed. i'm amazed, really.
and i noticed something too, they all like to slam the door. so if my estimations are right there should be cracks in the wall soon enough. they have the cheek to do that even though my mum didn't charge extra rent for their family bonding activities. i just hope that nothing too appalling would happen. and even if it did my mum, being the usual nice aunty, wouldn't do anything.
that is why i am so worried. i'll be off to camp for 4 days and 3 nights in school and no one would be there to serve as a warning signal to those people. hmmm, maybe i should install phone enabled speakers, then i can be like those announcers you hear in the public trains:
"For your own safety, please do not slam the doors. If you see any suspicious cracks, please inform your landlady, or call 999 to arrest yourselves."

it seems as if i have the tendency to be anti-social nowadays.
maybe it was the bizarre experience i had with a group of online 3d chatters (imvu). you know, sometimes, it is extremely shocking to see someone come out suddenly to proclaim their everlasting love to you - when you don't even know them in the first place.
and that is why I've developed a certain tactic which guards me from strange online predators, by the first minute, i would have properly analyzed what category these people belong to. and i'm not telling you how. It's just a couple of questions that you ask, not that complicated anyway.
i usually avoid familiar people that i see on the streets when i'm out with another person. call me strange or whatever (maybe loyal?). i just don't engage with small talk with other people when i'm with a friend (with the exception of family, of course).
hmm, maybe you'll think that it is not so much on anti-social. let me suggest another example..
oh no i don't feel like talking anymore. :S
