Of Valentine's and Influenza.

First of all, Happy Valentine's Day!

It would be a lovely day, if I wasn't so sick. I've seen the doctor yesterday and she told me I have the flu. I didn't get any antibiotics so I suspect that I'm infected with Influenza virus. Grrreat! Sniffing, coughing, and slight fever are my ideal company for Valentine's. Where is Love, to cure me from ailment? To heal me from my...um...pain? Suffering? (I'm being such a drama queen). Actually, I'm not really in pain or suffering but really, whoever enjoys being sick???

And to top it off, I have a concert to which I have to perform! All the way, until Sunday night. Barisan Budi Malaysia Concert. I'll be almost dead, by then. No, it's not over, even then! I have another concert to perform the following weekend! And practices will be almost every night! *faints* I will THEN, be dead, by the end of that week.

One thing's cool though. We were on TV last night! Woo-hoo! It's been a while since I popped into your grey box to say hello. *winks*

I will elaborate on this further, once I get my hands on those promised pictures.

So, Love is in the air. As they always say it. As far as I'm concerned, I'm spreading Influenza around, not love. As much as I want to spread love, that's not gonna happen now, unless you want to be as sick as I am. And I just realized that I've used the word 'as' 6 times. Though that's not really the point. In fact, I don't have a point. I just thought I would post something interesting about love since it's Valentine's. It's only once a year. I heard there's a day similar to Valentine's, but it's for the singles. Cool, innit? So, let me ask you. Do you know the history of Valentine's Day? There are many versions. But all of them evolved around Saint Valentine. Oh, the wonders of love.

Good morning to you, valentine;

Curl your locks as I do mine ---

Two before and three behind.

Good morning to you, valentine.

This is what children used to sing on Valentine's Day, hundred of years ago in England. Interesting, innit?

I think I shall log off now...will post back later.

Cheers.

P.S.: Does anyone know where I can get IGCSE Q&A books? For Maths and Accounts? Do let me know, please. Really appreciate it. Thanks.

My cookies and randomness.

Ok, so, I baked.


*silence*


YES, I BAKED. Woo-hoo! Cookies! Chocolate chip cookies! And it didn't turn out half as bad. It was NOT BAD for first try. I was swelling with PRIDE! *shines*! :D










My lovely cookies. Mom and dad think they're not bad. Not bad at all. Zen loves the crunchier cookies, a.k.a. the darker brown ones. The lighter colour cookies are a tad too soft. But still tastes good! Ah, bliss! Though, I took almost forever to finish the entire 'baking session'. It really was long. The whole afternoon, I took. A baker would chastise me! Oh well, I'm in the process of learning so, it's really okay, isn't it? :P!

And I don't have a black and white photo.

There is a small breeze. The air smelled sweet. I looked at the sky, smiled, and started to run. I picked up my pace and the air whipped around my face. It was...cooling, it was...good. I haven't run like this for so long, my legs felt...almost unfamiliar to me. Suddenly, I desperately miss the beach. I have the sudden urge to...run along the beach. To taste the salty atmosphere. To hear the waves crashing on the shore. To reach out...and grasp the horizon.

Nothing much these days. Holidays are coming to an end. Unfortunately and fortunately. Unfortunately because, I WILL miss them, in a way. Somehow, sometime. Fortunately because, I am in need of activities to fill my almost dismal days. Not so dismal but...when you have nothing to do...and boredom starts to creep in...you get what I mean. *winks*

So, in 3-4 days time, I finished both Twilight and New Moon by Stephanie Meyers. I thought it was pretty amazing. Now I can't wait to get my hands on Eclipse. Incredible, the way I can just not have any interest in those two books, (even when I bought New Moon for my sister for Christmas) for so long...and the way I fall real hard the moment I start flipping the page. Suddenly, I have so many books that I want to read and so little time! =P!

I think I shall continue reading 'The Odyssey' now. So if you don't mind...
