what a week of bust-ups..

the BT corner was created in office. i was taken from the very noisy and lively production line to what we have nicknamed the BT triangle. which means i get my own cubicle. the prob? i'm not used to sitting at the cubicle. so i end up hitting my knees or my foot. the entire week..

my elbows are not spared too. the incessant bumping is driving me mad. come friday, i burnt my lips. what is a girl to do? suck thumb and keep working, what else?

on saturday, i'm helping out for dinner. i'm just stirring the soup and standing innocently next to my mother who was frying the meat. then a blop (yes. BLOP) of oil flew out of the pan and onto my arm. given my deer in the headlight situation, i exclaimed to my younger sister, "TISSUE!! TISSUE!!"

kinda reminded me of my grasshopper moment when all my brain registered was to scream, "GEDDITOFF!! GEDDITOFF!!"

anyway, she got a kitchen napkin for me and passed it to me, no hint of increasing her speed. then she stared at me, "is it hot?"

i stared back, "not anymore."

my younger sister is really quite retarded. she commented about my walking style and my younger bro's walking style. then we replied that she was just jealous cos she had a flat butt. for the rest of the afternoon, she kept hollering at me, "i have a butt!!"

when the two little ones got into a fight, the boy shouted at her, "I'm going to kick your non-existant ass!"

she yelled back, "Kick la! maybe it'll become bigger!"

his retort was classic, "I CAN'T SEE IT!"

the insult took her a second to register. then she let out her war cry and attacked him again.

yday, few of us headed to east coast park. i haven't bladed in 2 years! ok fine, i haven't bladed since i entered university. but i tried ice skating 2 years back. they are quite similar. i ended up falling thrice. the first time was alright. the second, i bled one knee and bruised the other one. my legs are henceforth to be known as Fuls. Fat Ugly Legs.

the third time i fell, i gave up. it was far too painful. i couldn't get up and the pain just shot up my spine. i ended up with a headache soon enough and thiang didn't make it easier by attempting to converse in mandarin.

Right now, my knees are aching and i can't shift in my seat without wincing. i kept waking up in the middle of the night when i turn in bed. i toss and turn quite naturally but the pain at my tail bone was really quite blinding that it managed to wake despite the fact that i'm not a light sleeper. after a while, my eyes were stinging with tears whenever the pain woke me up.

please let the rest of the week be less heart-breaking. no more injuries or blinding pains that leave me really frustrated.

on the side note: i've been taken off the bangkok team to be a support in Singapore. i'm giving up the chance to stay at bangkok banyan tree maintain my 6-7 hr sleep instead of 4-hour nighters. don't really know whether to laugh or cry at this point of time. owell.
