Sepet

ever saw the "Eyes Wide Shut" movie? steamy scenes of Tom Cruise and Ms ex-cruisce (Nicole Kidman) ;P. well, my case is different. this morning, when i was jumped by my hubby's phone alarm (should i call it alarm? it was a soothing guitar solo by jimmy hendrix if i'm not mistaken), i found that my eyes were glued. my vision was so blurry that i thought i walked with my eyes wide shut. but after a couple of minutes i struck me. arggggggggghhhhhhh...!! sakit mata balik kerrr????!!

2 nights ago i took the kids and hubby to clinic. same-o same-o prob. sorethroat, fever and cough. i wasn't surprise to see patients filled all the seats in the waiting hall. they were in worse shapes than us. seeing them whinning and limping anxiously like sitting on a barbeque pit, i pity them and was thankful at the same that our conditions were far better.

suddenly, a heavyset (is this detail necessary? read on and you'll know why i tag her ;P) lady entered the clinic. all jaws dropped when we saw her swollen eyes. man they were so bulgely huge! i was exchanging notes with my hubby. allergic reaction? did she hit a cabinet or something? her eyes were so swollen that it seemed she can only gain her vision through a slit gap of her eyes. i finally figured out that she was having a contagious eye disease. i quickly whispered to my kids not to look at her eyes. she was seating about 10 feet from us.

but what caught my attention was her behaviour. she seemed so jovial. rather than wearing eye shades and avoiding eyes contact, she was laughing and joking with her rombongan of family. beaming proudly at everybody and what annoyed me the most was when her mum or sister took her pic from a handset (maybe as a proof to her employer). she posed with a wide smile, making a peace sign with her fingers and giggled. luckily we were called in by the nurse before we could tambah dosa mengumpat ;P.

afterwards we went home. i snuggled on my usual spot in the office corner (on the lantai la.. flat on my stomach ^_^). suddenly i felt something came out from my eyes. haa?? taik mata at night? i just wiped it off and continued working. but the soft mukus kept popping out and it's so annoying. finally i got up and check my eyes out. warrrgghhhhhhhhhh!! it's positive! i was infected by the disease too! i screamed my lungs out in the bathroom. i have line of errands to be done the next day. how can i drive around in this situation? that night i couldn't cuddle in my hubby's hug as usual. since our usual position (wargghhhh.. kah..kah..) pressured the sored eye. so i had to face away from him and cozily kepit my bolster. hehehehe.. sian lakiku.

the next morning as i expected the 'taik mata' had gotten worst. but only my left eye was affected. after seeing the doctor at a nearby clinic, my eyes seemed fine. so, hehehehe.. as usual la. i skipped the pills and of course the eye cream which i despise so much. ugghhh... the eye cream stung my eyes, not a bit soothing. and it's not like the eye drop which bothers your sight momentarily only. the cream is a mess and i look like an ungroom kitten (for those who never own a cat, kitten usually produces eye wax and mummy cat would groom its kitties by licking them clean). so i guess i asked for it by skipping my meds. huhuhu.. so last night i went to bed again in agony. it bothered my friday nite ;P. the itchiness came back.

this morning i woke up with both of my eyes glued. looking at my reflection in dismay, suddenly i thought about that lady at the clinic again, as if she's smirking at me. her giggles ringing into my ears. wargghhh!! i cursed. i'm so mad at her. she deliberately took the situation for granted. i was thinking, i sat 10 feet away from her for 10 minutes only. my heart goes for a cute family seated just beside her. they looked like new parents with a very cute baby bouncing cheerfully on her daddy's lap. did they get it too? i pray not...

Diverting Attention

Actually I gave up writing when I lost my first blog 4 years ago. It was very frustrating. I cherish every details in it coz it was my sanctuary. Well, back then I was crushed under piles of career loads, mixed emotions and confusions. I was short tempered, aimless and felt something amiss but couldn't put my finger on it. Therefore I found it surprisingly easy to blurt out my frustrations through my writings. I didn't blow out all the frustrations bottled in my gut directly on the screen, but I disguised it with common reports and stories.. the children, my daily highs and lows. It was quit comforting. Well, 3 years later I took a wonderful 180 degrees rotation. God knows how I battled them all; wounded with blood and tears. But what don't kill me, makes me stronger n_n.

Now, never been happier and content, I found myself blogging again. But for the different reason. Working flat on my stomach (i mean literally) most of the time. Nope, not working out, on the contrary I have the privillege of doing my online biz 'meniarap' in front the tv, slumps on the sofa or rolls on my bed (if my lazy mode is on ^^). I call it my mini retirement; a paradigm shift from my hectic accounting career of 10 years. 50% of my time devoted to my loyal laptop, 20% running biz errands and 30% cuddling with my family. Time flies by in a blink. Arisya is now 11, already 5 inches shorter than me. My god she already fits in my shoes (again literally ^_^). Arianna has lost half of her baby teeth. Outgrowing her garments every single month. She claims that she already needed a bra ;D. Well she got a point there. Her love for food is the main contributor (I pray not due to her drinking my cocoa collagen sneakingly when I look away ^^). Eventhough I hate it, I have to control her diet especially fasting month is around the corner. It would be heart-breaking to see her starving so I better prepare her for the ordeal n_n. Really.. how time flies. So it's a good thing to cut out another 5% for blogging again. Should keep me from drowning in my biz too much.
