not a very good day

today must be a veli veli bad day for me. kor-kor fell sick after yesterday's party and i was up sooooo many times last night checking for fever and feeding him medicine. i could hardly pry my eyes open.....so sleepy, so i opened only one eye slightly and tried to make my way to the kitchen at 1.00am in the morning. people tuning in, please don't try that at home without proper guidance and training. nearly ended up smack into the side of the wall. depth perception out when you use only one eye. then i would have woken up this morning like "chung moe yim" (you know, the lady with yin-yang face).

later, i found out that my com-com was infected by virus. even as we speak, mr norton is having a look at him. to add salt to the wound, my second blog entry went kaput! sigh. my second entry leh. why no give face? never mind, i have since fixed it. i hold my breath to see what else fate (or whatever is playing me this morning) will throw my way. comeon, give it your best shot. i am ready......sob!

anyway, the most pleasant thing this morning is to find out that i have one reader - ta dah!!!!! bring out the "dragon and lion dance" - ka chang! ka chang! ah pek has really made my day. ha ha, now i know that there is someone reading my rubbish, i will have to be careful of what i write. for ah pek, a certificate of appreciation for being the first to visit my blog. sorry, mr cock, no certificates are awarded for seconds (that't the cruel fact of life)

1:57pm : burp! after a very full lunch, time to continue with my story. i am tested to the very maximum today by the powers that be. as i have been saying this morning, my home com-com has been giving me problems and i spent the entire morning trying to eradicate that very naughty virus. it was so sneeky, hiding here and there.....i am not even sure whether i have managed to eliminate their roots and 18 level ancestors (evil laughter). the beauty of it is, i went to my mum's place to continue with the blog there (and also to have a wonderful lunch - didn't quite live up to expectation...shhhhhh! don't tell mum) and.........sigh! yes, i also managed to destroy the com-com there. broadband down. wireless down also. what is wrong with my hands today? must use some "luk yau" leaves to clean the curse. is someone doing voodoo on me??? there is no way that i can destroy two com-com in 1 day. does kor-kor's fever has anything to do with these evil hands? i better stay away from che-che then. gulp! eh, i haven't even started on my story and it's already so long. readers must be falling asleep by now......well, i have always been known to be a liiiiiitle long winded when it comes to story-telling.

ok, back to my story. there are so many things to tell and not enuf time to tell it. amidst kor-kor's "am i having a fever?", "how much is my temperature?", "can i eat the pink fever medicine, yuuuummy!", "come and see this", "i feeeeeel soooooooo tiiiiiired lah", i shall try to continue. if you hear any sudden screaming or something heavy collapsing on the floor, please either call the asylum (tanjung rambutan) or if you are kinder, an ambulance. i can only handle so much test to my patience at one time. ok ok, i'm getting distracted again.

actually, i wanted to write about the dinner i had on last friday - post valentine celebration. we went to the french restaurant along 1 bangsar - very posh, ya know. the only thing was i wasn't wearing something elegant. ahhhhh! but these restaurants are usually very dark and i'll be seated most of the time, so the other patrons won't know. now, if i can only find a way to wipe out the waitress' condescending look at the door, it will be perfect. the food was good and the service quite pleasant. they even shut down the electricity to make sure that we really had our candle-light dinner. TWICE! total darkness. what a marvelous restaurant. Hmmmmm.....was that why the medium well steak seemed a little tough? i faintly remembered the chef lending a helping hand at the electricity box. leng chai (LC) and myself had to "charng thoi kiok" until the food finally came, and by then our legs under the table were quite numb from all that kicking. not vey romantic, you know, when you stare into pitch darkness and try to imagine where is your partner's nose, mouth and eyes.

then, sun was the party, if you guys still remember. the invitees came in full force (the bruises were still quite visible and the arms in cast - i had to roughen them up to get their rsvps, remember?) take a deep breath, prepare to entertain all those "pat pohs"......erm, i mean elegant mothers (actually, most of them were quite nice -but there is always an exception or two. but i won't let them patronise me, no siree). the kids, on the other hand, were very sweet - many of them personally drew a card for kor-kor and were genuinely excited to see him. i guess i don't socialise that well since i usually opt for the company of kids. (who called me coward??! who?! who?!) but they are really innocent and genuine - can't say the same for most adults. why is it that adults have so much protection around themselves most of the time? i know why but it's just tiring - getting to know the real someone. how many of us bother anyway?

ok, the party. see, i'm getting distracted again. they loved the magic show. erm, i think the one that shouted the loudest was yours truly. hmmmm, actually, most of the mums came round to tell me they loved the magic show, i suspect more than their little angels. the money-grabbing monster made a last minute final attempt at exploiting me further and was kicked into 13th storey hell. Triumph! most important, kor-kor and all his friends had a jolly good time.
