&&. sneeze

During my science class, my face twitched.

And suddenly sneezed.

And again.

And again.

And again.

And again.

And again.

I broke my record of sneezing four times consecutively in 2OO8, with six sneezes :) When I told Natalie, she told me to sneeze one more time to make another record. Sadly, I was out of sneezing fuel and therefore stuck with six sneezes.

The unfortunate thing was that after I sneezed six times, I started to get a runny nose D: I used up all my tissues ( the packet was really fat this morning ! ), until Michelle gave me her packet out of the kindness of her heart. But I will forever remember that time at camp where you forced me to pay you with a packet of gum to use your toilet paper/substitute tissue.

And so here I am, typing up this post, while I'm eating cup noodles and drinking hot chocolate, sniffing and sneezing every now and then :')

&&. sick

That's right. I'm sick.

I am currently suffering from a half blocked and runny nose, dry itchy throat and massive coughing fits that lead me to nearly vomitting. It happened in the morning last Thrusday, the day of my Chinese excursion. Of course, eating yummy mango snow-ice is a bad idea, and eating lychee snow-ice again the day after that is even a worse idea. But it was worth it.

Instead, I'll make the best of my condition by spreading my germs tomorrow at school - that is, IF I do go - and stand REALLY close to you, maybe deliberately coughing and sneezing on you as well. Then, everyone will understand my PAINNNNN and get sick as well !

MWAHAHAHAHAHAH - *hack cough cough cough*

Dammit.

&&. hot chocolate

A rather interesting event happened today. It involved an awesome fork trident of peas, one cup of hot chocolate, and a very hyperactive and easily pleased friend. So basically I showed the fork of peas to the Jessie unnamed friend who was standing behind me, and she semi-jumped up with joy. Of course, she was holding the cup of hot chocolate, and unfortunately, it spilt onto me.

Half of my hair got soaked, while some blotches got onto my blouse, a big splash on my scarf, and a long trickle of hot chocolate onto my English book & laptop cover. Everyone was stoned for a couple of second, before Natalie was rushing for tissue and Jessie the unnamed friend started to apologise profusely.

Also, if Jessie the unnamed person is reading this post ( which is highly possible ), and still feel guilty about the incident, let me say this. My hair smelt of yummy hot chocolate for two hours, and I now know that awesomeness is always in danger within proximity of you and your hot chocolate :D

&&. winter

The cold + rain = winter / very angry Amanda.

I hate the cold. It's on my list of "Top Ten Pet Peeves" - ranked somewhere in between poor grammar and telemarketers. If winter was materialised into a living being, I would find a hundred way to torture it without the result of death. Winter needs to suffer endless hours of agony. People are forced to wear extra layers of clothing, have to turn on their heaters to stay warm, or they can choose the option of freezing their ass off and get sick.

Of course, seeing that my body figure is quite skinny, I get sick very often due to the lack of fat for insulation :( I also have poor blood circulation, so my hands will always get freezing cold within one minute exposure to the outside air. Even if I'm wearing thick gloves, using heating pads, or next to a heater, my hands would always refuse to stay warm. Or maybe I'm secretly cold-blooded, like I always hypothesised.

And then there's rain. The sky is always so gloomy and gray. WE NEED SOME SUNSHINE, BABY ! Whenever it is cloudy, it always seems as though my energy is sucked away from my soul D: I have no motivation to do any work, and I have the tendency to complain and whine a lot ( Catherine being the victim to my ranting ).

There's also that wet and clammy feeling you get, as though the rain had seeped into the buildings, making me give involuntary shudders. And everyone knows that rain is created through the evaporation of water. That means that the rain could be urine from a hobo ! Or urine from the sewage systems ! Or urine from lazy people in outdoor pools ! Or urine from any other places where there is sunlight ! Yes - I'm using urine a lot to make you hate rain as well >:D

This is the end to my ranting, before I get some winter and / or rain lovers complaining = 3=;;

&&. bus drivers

So I normally take the bus home after school, and today was no exception. It was raining quite heavily, and as I raced down to the 109 bus, there was a mob of students who were cussing like sailors. After I joined in the mob, I realised that all the traffic was caused by this ONE girl, who didn't bring her bus pass, and refused to pay the money.

So we were all stuck, standing out in the rain for 5 hours (translation - 2 minutes), showed off a fine example of the Generation Z's colourful language, gave plenty of death threats, until we finally got on the bus. I ended up soaking wet with sticky clothing, damp hair, and a very VERY bad temper.

The only thing that made me happy was a warm shower, hot chocolate, and yummy cup noodles ♥ Anyhow, the moral of the story is that all some bus drivers suck >:(
