Tsk tsk tsk ... sugar and stuff

OK. I didn't know about this UNTIL it went out on TV. Whaddya know? It seems that sugar is quite a commodity now. Why is it that when it is close to a festival, especially those celebrated by the majority of the country, suddenly there's a shortage of sugar lah, flour lah. Why are these pemborong so greedy and make life miserable for this 'majority'? I know lah you guys hold the economy, but when it's close to your new year, things like this never happens.

Funny thing is, trying to find sugar at a Malay shop is like trying to buy a Porsche. Go to a Chinese shop, voila, you can even buy 3 or 4 packets easily.

Don't lah be like this, not nice one ooo...

Can someone help me...

Clean my room??? It's in such a mess!!! Meja macam ada gajah baru datang serang... Help!!! TOLONG!!! Au secours....

H1N1 - Health 1 Never 1

I don't know if I want to say that it's scary, but almost. A few days ago I had a baaaad diarrhea that just wouldn't go. The whole f day I was suffering. That 'area' of mine was in pain because too many 'exits'.

It went away, good. And I tried to take care of my tummy by not taking any cili, just in case... F!!! I got it again two days later. What is my body trying to tell me???

A day after, my nose started acting up. Oh oh... am I catching a cold? True enough, in an hour I sneezed like nobody cares. Not to mention the coughing!!! With the pandemic going on in the country, I pray hard it is NOT that dreaded and dreadful H1N1 swine flu Influenza A whatchawannacallit thingy.

I did what I usually do when I am not well, go to the clinic. The very good doctor prescribed me with the usually stuff: cough syrup, flu tablets, paracetamol (WHAT??? A normal Panadol???) and antibiotics ("you must finish the antibiotics...") <-- I hope I remember that .

Hey, whaddya know, the runny nose is no longer there!!! But why is it that last night I feel dizzy while standing, or is it the fever is catching up? I felt like driving myself to the Sungai Buloh Hospital to get myself checked for H1N1.

Oh yeah... I gulped down the pills (finished the cough syrup in one day) ... F!!!! I FORGOT TO TAKE MY VITAMIN C THIS MORNING!!!

So, I told myself, get a rest, sleep. I slept. Woke up at around 2.20am. The TUMMY is acting up. It's like some mild gastric attack, which I am PRONE to get. I couldn't sleep! Tried to sleep but still the pain was just unbeaaarable. It hurts sooo bad. I massaged my own tummy, talked to it, tried to talk to my subconcious mind about "it's not painful, it'll go away" but hell the tummy just made it worse by taking over the shoulder area. I needed a massage but who would give me a massage at 4am????

By 5am, I couldn't take it anymore. Took the car key and sped off to the local 7E to get myself a balm and the ever helping Minyak Cap Kapak. Lovingly put some on my tummy and in no time I was sleeping like a baby as the pain simply went off!!!

Only to be woken up at 6.50am... WAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

I NEED MY BEAUTY SLEEP!

Anyway, I was looking on the Net about the symptoms of Swine Flu which is prevalent in the country now. Very helpful. Thank you. "symptoms are the same with the normal flu".... hah? How??? I only hope that my flu is the ordinary boring flu...
