i-dunno-how to-name-this-post

judging from the dwindling comments left in my box, 'whysokaypo' may have to be closed down several months down the road, for reason of lack of readership. i believe i have been boring my readers silently to death. so, if you see the bloggers in the sphere dropping down one by one like flies, you know it's because they have been silently following my blog.

i brought my grandma for a follow-up visit to the doctors yesterday and i spent the better half of the day waiting in queues.

were you expecting me to say something more about the wait? there is nothing exciting and glorious about waiting. you just basically arrange your bottom on the chair nearest to a television and tune out until you hear a distant voice calling the name of the patient. everybody wears that bored-to-death look and the i-need-to-go-to-toilet-but-will-they-call-my-name-while-i-am-gone face. otherwise, a visit to the doctor is not quite worth repeating. they hold a cold stethescope against your body, stick some needle into you and send you off with another appointment. and why is it that there is always, always a second appointment? you can walk into a specialist's clinic (normal gp doesn't practice this abnormal standard) looking very sunny and fit and the doctor gives you a clean bill of health. then when you walk past the nurse, she will say, 'so, your next visit is in two months' time. do you want to fix the date today?' hello? the doctor just said i was a-okay. why am i coming back for? how do you know i will be sick in two months' time? i was not even given any medication this time, doesn't that tells you i do not need to come back?

today is a different story. i am suffering from discomfort and pain. can anyone see my pouting lips here? i must have twisted my back muscle when i was attempting asfnsdnfaaskdfn yesterday. i can never hear the name of the yoga moves i was supposed to be doing, so don't expect me to repeat it here. as it is, i can't sit too straight. i can't slouch. i can't lean too far right or left. so, i am trying to maneuver my body into a neither straight, nor slouching, neither left nor right position to ease off the pain. if you ask me, the difficulty level is harder than some of the yoga moves.

do you know what i wish for my birthday? what? not another post about my birthday?!! hey, there must be trailers before the big event, right? nevermind, consider me as a self-centered old fool. i want to talk about my birthday. believe me, there will be plenty more posts about the same topic! after all, it only comes by once a year so the least i can do is talk about it! ha!

every year i get to put two things on my wishlist. since my near and dear can't figure out what i will possibly want or what i like, they decided that the easiest and quickest method will be to ask me to name it. takes the surprise and suspense out of the whole thing but at least i don't end up with neon pink exercise top and matching pants.

most years i am quite lost about what i really need to make my day. this year, however, i have my sight on something. and i am going to get it, come what may. so, anybody want to make it their guess?

neon purple top and matching pants?
next time get your back twisted on the same day as your granny's doc visits so you can kill 2 birds with one doctor....

Eh, don't quit lah!

Not posting comments does not mean people don't read your posts.

You continue writing and we will continue reading.

King's wife said...

there are many silent readers one. Don't bother about the comments. Keep writing..

Whoa... You're into the visitor-meter too ah? Wahahahaha... It can be pretty demeaning you know, coming from me who has one myself. The reason being that you get discouraged to find your readership fluctuate like the share market prices everyday.

"Whoa... many read my blog today! Weeeeee!"

"WHOA... WTH happened? Why is my readership dropping so drastically? Are my posts too boring nowadays? No one likes me writing anymore! Boo hoo hoo!"

So there you go... Write what you want, when you want, it's your blog.

dear fei: no prob friend. come back when you have time to sit down for a little while, have a cup of tea and eat a 'pau'.

dear may: you are actually quite a wonderful person. you have so many readers and so many fans, yet you find the time to visit mine. you have a time machine to help you manage your time, issit? long paid-for holiday? either it's half-business, which is no fun, or you are 'all-paid-for' by an old filthy rich hum sup low, which isn't too exciting either. kakakaka.

dear lm: more of ME as in more of myself, or more of you???!!! your comment left me scratching my head. if more of ME, i am certainly on my way to a bigger ME! diet, diet, diet!

dear ah pek: mana ada? ah pek divide into dun-know-how-many blogs mah. so, comments also divided lah. kakaka. i tot shitting in people's blogs was becoming a chore to you? sudah recover yah?

dear ff: pleaseeee wipe that thought of your mind. *shivering at idea of neon purple top* kakaka. cannot pay due attention to granny's problem then, if i also hurt my back.

dear licky: oh, you sudah turned silent reader. okay then, if you say so. *writing writing writing*

dear kw: yes, your royal highness. thank you, your royal highness *walks out backward slowly, didn't see the steps, crash bam boom into a heap on the floor*

dear ian: site meter's for the vain-pot perhaps. i won't bother then. it's so nice to have everybody come out in force and give me a little reassurance
