It's been a miserable 4 days for me. I've been lying in bed practically the whole day, just sleeping and watching tv (well, that's when I'm not knocked out by the medicine). It's quite irritating, though. Other than the fever which usually leaves me knocked out, I'm perfectly fine. I can deal with the cough; but the fever makes me feel soooo lethargic that I can't make myself move out of bed to walk anywhere. Argh. And to make things worse, the fever didn't seem to subside at all. Oh, it wasn't a very high fever, always hovering between 37.7-37,8, but it made my extremities freeze and my face red and my body painful. So yah, you can imagine. -_-"
Furthermore, I don't like the way it has inconvenienced my life! I was supposed to celebrate Kok Yong's birthday with him yesterday, but because of the darned fever, the poor boy had to spend his birthday alone. Man I feel so bad about it. And that's not all. I had to cancel out on a meet-up with Merrilyn and Corrine today. To think we had changed the dates so many times, only to have me getting sick. Argh. Lucky Kok Yong, Merrilyn and Corrine are nice, understanding people.
Luckily, the fever seems to have broken, so I should be able to get on with my life pretty soon... just that I wish the stupid pain in my head would quit shooting down my brain. It makes me twitch like I'm having spasms! Cough I can still handle. The brain thing? NOOOO!

Of gatherings and old friends
Every holiday is promised with gatherings with my friends from different stages of my life- primary school, secondary school, JC, and University. JC friends haven't been that often, cos I think we're all very busy right now. But there're definitely many gatherings around every holiday.
What I like about these gatherings is that there's no fear of having a lack of conversation. In fact, conversation flows freely, and though you have plenty to catch up with each other on, there's always this sense that nothing has changed between us, and I like that old familiarity very much. No outing's better than one where the participants share laughter and conversation with each other, and where everyone can feel at ease.
Like the picnic we had for the psych year 4 students on Tuesday. Although very few people turned up, and the outing looked like it was gonna be a disappointment, things didn't turn out badly in the end. In fact, we spent our time talking and eating, and just basically getting to know one another. I got to know Ming Han better too- haha I talked to him more that day than I have for the past 4 years! Haha, but of course, all this is relative. =) The point here is, that it was an enjoyable time spent with friends.
Then I met Karen for dinner on Wednesday evening. Oh man, that was really enjoyable. We've been friends since we were 13, and 9 years on, we still have a continuous flow of conversation. And she's a very nice person to shop with too! Although she was really tired from being in the lab after almost a 12-hour day, she still went with me from shop to shop looking for Evon's present. And she even bothered to help me think of which colour is the best for that present. I really appreciated that. Thanks, Karen!
And then even earlier on, the very first gathering I had, was with Si Wei. Haha, who would have thought that even though we weren't very close to each other in primary school, we'd still be keeping in contact now? I find that very amazing. And even more amazing is the fact that we can still have topics to talk about, which I appreciate very much. Haha and Si Wei, thanks for tolerating me so much- the books and cds which I take AGES to return, and also for being so understanding when I can't talk very long with her on MSN and on the phone, and for the very seldom meet-ups! Thanks Si Wei for being so understanding!
Ooh and how could I forget Yaying and Yan Fang? We just had an enjoyable but tiring outing to Hort Park, the forest trails, and Henderson Wave awhile ago, and they were so nice to keep me company to wait for Kok Yong, even though it would be super late by the time they reached home. I really enjoy catching up with them, it's very confortable and we can talk about basically everything under the sun too. Nice!
And somemore gatherings coming up I think! Serene, I don't know if you still read my blog, but let's meet up too with Ee Hui they all! Haven't seen u all in ages! And Wednesday's another meetup with Merrilny (my dear girl I also haven't seen you for a long time!) and another girl, and... there might be a psych xmas party in the works!
Haha I do hope all these will still continue long after this and I know it's so primary school to say this, but, friends forever! Haha!

I'm going to Malaysia from 3-8 Dec, so I won't be replying smses... I'm not sure if there's Internet at the place I'm staying, so I can't say much about emails! =)
