journey thru life

halu there. and so im back. is it late now to do this? nah..i believe that we're never too late to do anything. it juz depends on one's will to do sumthin.
newaez..ive been feeling much better after ive taken some medicines. did i state that i wanna wake up early to see the doctor? ok well i din really got up that early..i was toooo suhleepy. and i pretended and told momma that i din hafta go to the polyclinic cuz i was feeling ok. but soon after my throat was disagreeing. got outta bed eventually, bathed and then off to toa payoh.
oh newaez i went to toa payoh for this job employment assistance under CDC - community development council. was told to submit my employment history. tot it would be 4 awhile but ended up they did the job searching for me. oh yes..im jobless. have been applying for jobs but to no avail. at last my momma decided to meet the MP - Dr Yaacob Ibrahim. he was the one who suggested CDC. newaez after CDC it was Geylang East Polyclinic.
met my momma who was already waiting with a q-ticket, and after registration and stuff, went up to see the doctor. met the doctor, listened to my heartbeat, talked for a while and then went down to collect my medicine. ok i aint drunk like what the mood tells. im actually very drowsy now cuz of the after-effects of the medicines. feelin high now..ok..well..im like flying with my eyes shut..oh my..newaez juz to share and waste the space here, these are the medicines prescribed:

  • diphenhydramine for my throat - 2 5ml spoonfuls a day

  • vitamin C tablets - 2 tablets 3x a day

  • mefenamic acid to reduce muscle (haha) aches - 1 capsule 3x a day
  • loratadine for my running nose - 1 tablet evry morning


  • since i came home at around 6:00 pm i took the 1st 3. took the tablets which, like ive said, i had to bite them. fortunately they dissolved fast and since its vitamin C it wasnt bitter. next is the capsule. usually, ive got no problems swallowing plastic capsule down but this time it took me sometime. it was like my throat kept trying to close itself, not wanting the capsule to enter. it was...tight..haha..newaez i was already like panicking i spit out the capsule and looked at it with my can-you-please-juz-enter-my-throat face. tried again, forced myself and yes! bye bye capsule. next was the syrup. ha! juz imagine if the same problem occurs when swallowing syrup! tsk..tsk..
    detailed details there...anywaaaayz..after the clinic, it was a walking journey to..erm..this curtain-maker house at 1 of the apartments in geylang lorong 25. geylang lorong? hhmmm... and some of you start wondering...tsk..tsk..ok after that, we headed straight home. oh ive got another thing to share.
    while walking to the bus stop, to wait for bus 26, to go home (am i long winded or what?), i noticed this one China woman standing under the shelter. ignored her @ 1st, but deep in me, my instinct (correct usage?heh) told me that sumthin intresting gonna happen. ok well it wasnt VERY intresting but sumhow it kinda amazed me.
    newaez as my momma and i were reaching the bus stop, i noticed the woman smiling a lil and her eyes were aimed at this one man. me, being the private kPo lady, looked at the man and as expected, he was already smiling. me and my momma stood at where the woman 1st stood. i turned to look at them again. the man turned to look at the woman. he moved a lil to the right, turned and looked at the woman again. the woman then bravely stood beside the man and looked straight into the man's eyes. i was like "whoa!" and quickly told momma what i saw. the next thing was the woman muz have said or maybe asked the man sumthin but soon after she walked away, as if disappointed.
    i couldn't help but felt that the woman muz be askin the man if he wanted some..erm..pleasure. i mean anyone there who saw what went on muz be thinkin the same as me. looking at the woman walked away, and the man smiling til he got his bus, made me wonder about life; how thankful i should be, even though i may not have a job yet, my momma still takes care of my expenses; and this compared to some who have to go through like above to earn a living..
    well, there was another different situation which i..erm..saw while on the bus to home. i was looking out the window when i saw an old couple juz above the kallang river, you know, the green railing, the grass? there? sumwhere there? ok newaez, they were both on a mat i suppose, the grandpa was sitting and the grandma, i think, was lying down. beside them i saw clothes being hung on the railing. i mean, it was sad and heartbreaking to see such situation still exists in this century. i began to wonder why they were there, where their children are and what exactly cause them to have to be residing at such a place where they're not supposed to be. its really really sad.
    and suddenly i thought about my parents. how much they have done and spent juz to take care of me. they may nag, yes, which parents don't? but they do that for a reason. and that, cuz of deep love for their only child; wanting to give the bestest of the best for their only daughter. and i vowed never to leave my parents, to alwiz be with them til death do us part.

    to mak and abah, i may not be the most perfect child, ive my minuses too, but i'll alwiz do my best, and i will alwiz love you both. alwiz.

    to wandi, i may not be the most perfect lady, but i'll alwiz give my best to you, and i will alwiz love you too.
    im faithfully waiting for you to come back, sweetheart.
