This Blogger is sick

After 3 years being healthy back in Melbourne, I got my 2nd sore throat of the year. This time its worst than the first one which happened 3 weeks past. Its the sore throat that causes you to have thick phlegm, snorts and coughs. My voice is also sexy at the moment. I had the symptom on last Saturday. Got worst on Monday. Sunday I felt really weak and fatigue. Man! I wish viral flu really have a cure. It takes a week or so to get well.

That last saturday I also managed to bake the HERSHEY'S "PERFECTLY CHOCOLATE" Chocolate Cake it was quite a success for the cake but not the frost.

My version

Though I'm still pondering how I got sick. It was that evening, I felt my throat aching while playing Guild Wars. Well, as Sansan told me before, my fengshui for this year, my health will be affected mostly oral (throat mouth area). Really dreading this. Sometimes I don't have energy to do something and I rather stay in bed. Worst, all us ladies in the family got sick. My mother was the first one to have it, then me, then my little sister and second older sister and lastly my oldest sister.

Anyways, on last Monday was Energy Day in Brunei and hence I pledge myself to switch off the my computer and air condition for the whole of Monday (midnight till Tuesday) but for Brunei it was only from 9am-9pm on that day itself. Our fuel were sold at commercial price and the day before everyone queued up for petrol which was at the subsidized price.

It was worth the effort as on the website stated:

"

eSaving SOS has officially ended, the final energy consumption results is 5,520.96MWh. A reduction of 56.4MWh from the benchmarked data from 958 individuals pledges and a total of 103 organisation pledges" Source: http://www.esavingday.com/ Yesterday went out to accompany Kilz for her car being serviced. While waiting I had my round of Nasi Kandar at Kayu, was alright but abit of disappointment. Then we went out to get money from ATM and soon as I went to get my sister from work, Kilz got called that her car was done. So we waited for my sister, as soon as we got out from my sister's office compound, her boss asked her to return as the Crown Prince was around. We end up making another turn back to my sister's office. So had to leave her there and send Kilz to get her car. After that I had to pick up my nephew from my sister's in-laws house before picking up my sister. Kilz and I had the same thought when it came to energy, we wasted alot of fuel going round and round. It might been the fact that we saved too much that it's being compensated for that day. Today, I did alot of snoozing. This sickness is causing me to sleep alot. I hope I get better tomorrow. I don't like this kind of sickness but its hereditary. Our family get sick from throat. blurgh! Annoying. Anyways, enjoy life :D I'm going to take my medicine before having another round of sleeps.

Translation:
Was too happy. Always felt insecure.
Someday break-up will come as if waking up from a dream
Even without you “I will just get by”
That’s what I had in my mind as I prepared today
You leaving me, and me pretending to understand…
Pretending not to be sad. Pretending to be a decent man.
Stretching out my shoulders. Stretching out my hands
And tried to look good.
The silent sky as if it’s not on my side
It came with dark clouds on a clear sky.

I am holding back my tears but all of the sudden it’s rippling-rippling
Thick raindrops dropping and now it gives misconception that I am trying
"Why did you begin to dislike me, which part has gotten boring"
That’s what I want to ask, but
I will say “It was good relationship” with a brighter smile.
Bye Bye Bye baby, my, my, my love which will be treasured forever (forever) and preciously (preciously).
Good bye you grateful love.

If you have no where to go, I will move away
I’ll secretly hear new-info about you
Give me permission, I will hide alone so I can remember those memories
I’ve learned a lot about love after meeting you
That precious feeling, forget me and I will pray that I will meet you again next life.

I am holding back my tears but all of the sudden it’s rippling-rippling
Thick raindrops dropping and now it gives misconception that I am trying
Why did you begin to dislike me, which part has gotten boring"
That’s what I want to ask, but
I will say “It was a good relationship” with a brighter smile.

I had nothing, so when sending me away, I needed a memory to grab on to
Clean air and calm wind. I wanted to have a “cool” farewell but...

I am holding back my tears but all of the sudden it’s rippling-rippling
Thick raindrops dropping and now it gives misconception that I am trying
"Why did you begin to dislike me, which part has gotten boring"
That’s what I want to ask, but
I will say “It was good relationship” with a brighter smile.
Bye Bye Bye baby, my, my, my love which will be treasured forever (forever) and preciously (preciously).
Good bye you grateful love.

The Blogs are great to read but I came to see the lyrics translation :)

Pizza Day!

Yes, this week its our turn to take care of Saifullah and he seems to be getting his weight back although he's having a slight fever. Anyways, right after midnight, I wasn't able to sleep. I had remembered someone I missed dearly for the past two years after he left this world. I cried remembering the times I would have someone to talk with late at night and just randomly talk. Feeling so attached, its hard to let it go especially if u want to remember that person.

I end up sleeping 4am when it started to rain. Though had to wake up around 8am to make Saifullah take his nap and we both end up sleeping for an hour and half which was alright for me and I needed to make my pizza pies as I was craving for them last week. I managed to make the dough before my mum passed Saifullah to me. So had to pamper him while waiting for 30 minutes for the dough to rest. Luckily my sisters came back and passed him to them 

Too bad I wasn't able to get a pizza pie for lunch due to the resting time. I made quite a random of toppings, sausage, chicken and pineapple, prawns and pineapple, chicken and sausage, and Triple fillings (chicken, sausage and Prawn with pineapple). The triple fillings and prawn was a hit. My mum and aunt took most of the triple fillings while my big brother took 3/4 of the prawn pizza all to himself after my maid cut a slice for herself.

The first layer of the triple fillings

The best one that my Aunt and my mum grabbed for bites!

After the pizza meal, I log on for awhile and then, went to bed for a nap. Gosh, I felt how tired my eyes were and I woke up an hour later to have my dinner. Soon, back online to update you people with this and coincidentally, Ben was online telling me how much he feels like running away from stress for a Month! I would have join him but too bad we're not in the same country.

Been suggesting ideas for him but there were always a problem and I totally gave up.

Anyways, that's all for today. Hoping to revive this again though my life is not exciting since I don't have a job yet and Honours seems like its fading away as my respond from Griffith is quiet........... Oh well! 

Leaving my Monday with Blue Monday's Orgy~~~! Miss listening to this song. Say goodbye to Monday soon and hello to Tuesday :D

W.A.W (What A Week) and a MUST READ for Facebook Users

Yes, I am so exhausted even though this week I'm off babysitting duties until tomorrow; Monday. Last Wednesday finally met up with my best friends excluding Masez as she's still in UK doing her exams. We had our late lunch at Pizza Hut Sg. Tilong. We kind of had a weird chat regarding football jerseys, boyfriends' interests....mostly boys stuff which was rare for us (Girls especially) to talk about. Must be due to World Cup season.

After the lunch, Kilz and I head on to play pool and at the same time accompany her to pay her car insurance but it closed at 4pm and we got there exactly 4pm. So, we went on to play pool and it was kind of an improvement since last week's Saturday we weren't getting any balls in. I miss playing pool since it was the game to play for during my Melbourne years. Too bad there isn't a Korean Pool,Snooker & Billiard bar here.

My first pooling moment after a few months

Anyways, the place was packed with smokers so it was annoying for us to play that we didn't managed to play a full hour and at the same time I was waiting to watch a movie with Eddie. We lasted probably 45 minutes in there and went separate ways. If Eddie really had cancelled the movie outing, then I would have accompany Kilz to Charles and Keith but he made it after his meeting ended.

So went to Qlap Seri Mall an hour early. While waiting, did my prayers and went to a dvd store. Bought those 4 in 1 DVDs all horror stories except one by late Yasmin Ahmad; Talentime. Her final movie before she left this world. Will be watching them with my cousin. We actually started last Monday for a movie date.  Anyways back to my movie outing with Eddie, so met him at the ticket counter and he wanted to pay for the tickets, unfortunately he didn't have exact change so I paid $3 extra. Worst was that we were suppose to watch Ip Man 2 but it was showing in another hour so we end up watching Iron Man 2, which both of us haven't watch the part 1.

Fortunately, Iron Man 2 was alright but I still prefer Ip Man 2 over it. Yes, I've watched Ip Man 2 already last two Saturday ago, ALONE! I wanted to watch it again not only to accompany Eddie but it was mind blowing action and hilarious. So hopefully next week, I'll find time to watch it with Eddie (if it'll still show at the cinema). I was a bit guilty to have the movie outing on, since he had to come back from work late and rush to watch a movie but end up watching something else. Well, at least he told me he had a short nap before coming but also felt guilty he hadn't dinner and I was in a rush to meet up with Dyna. Well, I also hadn't have my dinner that night.

The following day, I slept in. Thursday was all about resting. Haha! Friday, had to go over to my sister's place to babysit and it was the day that he got his hair shaved at Kakak Tateh's new crib. The house looks awesome! Surprisingly, all of the nieces and nephews were there which made the house sound like a play ground. I even watched Upin and Ipin (Malaysian educational cartoon) with them.

We had a great time at Kakak Tateh and went home late. I was really tired and worst thing was I had to wake up early on Saturday because Rahmah was coming over to have English tuition. So I wasn't that freshen up but luckily my brain was functioning well. After lunch I went for a nap...a very long nap. Had 3 hours sleeping and it weather was so nice, it was raining and coolness seems to fit in for a nice sleep.

Today is Sunday and it was another session of being disturb. My elder sister called up for breakfast but I wanted to sleep in, so everyone went except me. Loss? Nah...Had a great time sleeping though it wasn't peacefully. Just hate it when I don't get enough sleep and then someone comes in to wake me up. Then the joy of playing Guild Wars was just amazing for the first time in few weeks, was able to play with other players for PVP, worst thing we end up playing HA and I had my first win playing HA.

Then Al told me that Facebook privacy policy has changed. Anyone who adds application is consider also giving their information away to the third party. I was quite surprised as this thing should not happen. Obviously, there's a reason for privacy and we shouldn't be giving information to other people BLINDLY. It made me open my Facebook and started to delete all the applications. Guess what I had to scroll 7 times to look at the applications I had. So that is more than 100 applications and out of those, I actively use 2 to 3 applications. I was having a deleting application frantic while waiting to go in play HA.

And yes, I had headaches from it that I had to stop playing and give myself a breather. It was obvious, even if you had put yourself on privacy status, as long as you were in a social network, your profile can still be viewed. Al gave me a few links, but I prefer these ones: 

http://mattmckeon.com/facebook-privacy/ ,

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/8681730.stm and 

http://www.quitfacebookday.com/

But you can read more on reddit.com. Search for: Facebook Privacy Policy and you'll find a list of

them waiting to be read by you

Not only did I remove applications, I even deleted most of my personal information and interests as

it led from one thing to another. Especially cases like identity theft, stalking (That's what I 

do best), and ripping off other people. I'll soon have to delete some my online application 

friends who help me to level up just to play those applications and that I never speak with. It 

gave me two options; delete my account or to keep it low for the mean time. So I chose option 

two. Its bad enough for me to have my account delete and lose contacts with my friends who are 

so into Facebook as there's no other option except Diaspora (Al also introduced me to this) but 

it's not a winning market just by looking at the name, it doesn't sound cool enough for people to 

join it.

So, now I will have to watch what I'm doing and post less personal information and photo albums 

to be deleted. Funny how I exposed some of my life on a blog yet I'm less worried because I 

have control and the privacy policy is not as screwed up as Facebook. So Thank you Multiply!

That will be all for today and as I hope many times, will try to update some more in the future.
