Thoughts in June 2000

It has been quite some time since we both wrote in our diary here.As you can see, Su stopped somewhere at  thoughts 1998.. hee hee.. me more hardworking lah. tried to be as current as possible. I am  looking for a job currently.. just went for a second round interview this morning.. feeling really hopeful =) and in the mean time, doing some freelance dancing assignments.

 

We moved out of our hostel room like a month ago with my dad helping with the transportation of all the accumulated stuff in school. Poor dad, he had to do two trips just so that both our stuffs can be brought home. His leg ached like three days after that!! Last Sunday (18th June), Su moved in to her new room in school. this time round, without knowing who her roommate will be too. Most prob, this time, she will be rooming with a freshie. Unless the hall office allow one of our friend to move in as her roommate. (she is also from d'corner).

 

*Sigh* I kinda missed staying with Su. It's like this for about one month and in this one month time, we kinda bunk in over at each other's place every alternate days... Can't help missing her ...... sometimes I really wonder if our parents are just pretending not to know about us. =P My new excuse is that I want to see Adam ( the new chinchilla in town ) hee hee..

 

I went back to help her pack her room too, immediately after my dad sent us back school on Sunday. Well, her new room's really nice! Cos' it's been renovated. You know those Ikea furnitures and chic bathroom tiles in orange and black...We bought new bedsheets and an alarm clock, a new boiling pot and pillows and bolster too! Well.. we missed an opportunity to room together in a renovated room last year. Cos' both of us were to lazy to move twice. Nevertheless, the two years staying together really strengthen our relationship. I guess we feel really "married" in a way.. taking care of each other and practically living in each other's breathe. Looking at her room and the empty bed next hers ( to be occupied by someone new) I feel an overwhelming sadness........to be away from my dear for the first ever prolonged period of time in the whole of two years of staying together once school term starts and I start a job proper. I ahve strong faith in us. That we will survive the divide.

 

Her side of the room is now well furbished with her stuff. We moved back the fridge and oven and stove and rice cooker and coffee table. The laptop's plugged in to the LAN and her Hifi's ready to blast music liaoz. I really feel like buying a partition for her.... heh heh.. .. me feeling evilishly possesive suddenly. =P I pinned up most of our photos onto the board at her desk. If ever her roommate looks closely enough ( that is a high possibily ) she'll notice that most of the photos on her board belongs to us. Hmm.. wonder if she is exposed to PLU??

I want to meet her roommate once she move in! Most prob, I shall go back school during orientation camp to take a look! Hahaha... silly me.

Enough of the rantings.

Till another update.

The chix pox ordeal

27th May 2000 (Sat)- 4th June 2000 (Sun)

I still remember that Saturday, I was taking the MRT with Su down to redhill, I felt a really big pimple like boil at the hairline of my left side of the head. Su helped me sqeeze the stubborn boil thinking that it was a pimple. It didn't hurt at all and I was feeling relieved that the boil went down after that. It grew to it original size again on Sunday when I first went down to catch Su in action during her final hockey league game. Little did we know that That innocent looking boil was the start of chix pox!!! We went town for dinner with a friend and both of us even shopped till quite late after that! I went home to discover to my horror, my body's covered with red spots! And I thought they were mosquito bites! Su was just teasing me about a mosquito bite on the nape of my neck! They were not bites!! But nasty chix pox!! Argh!

 

No choice... we had a dinner appointment with friends on Monday, but due to the unforeseen situation that has developed, I had to cancel, and instead went to see a doctor early morning. Su accompanied me and I went over to her place in the afternoon for lunch after that. It still looked okie.. until the next morning!!! More spots appeared and by this time I had taken all precautions to be on time with my medication. Sweet Su called me to remind me to take the tablets even when it's 4am in the morning. ( I had to take a dosage every 5 hours..) She stayed up late just to help me. I was really touched! I mean.. I didn't do much during that week, but to complain to her and sleep most of my days away. the medicine proved to be quite a concoction for making me drowsy.. drugged. Su and her sis visited me on wednesday after watching "dinosaurs" a new movie that started screening then.... hiyah. I still haven't caught that show. They stayed for awhile at my place before going home. Missed Su very much then... but can't do anything about it.

 

My mom took great pains to cook special food for me. It's a diet of clear soup with vege and fishmeat and minced pork with a bowl of rice. She won't let me touch any other food stuff.. Then that day Su and her sis visited... they got me an apple pie! I ate that, late at night when all my family memebers were asleep! The apple pie tasted really heavenly even though I got it cold straight from the fridge!!

 

When I was not drowsy, I played Starcraft with my dear dear via battlenet server. Su was really sweet and caring.. never complained when I kept nagging about my itchy and ugly pox. She came over to stay for the night on thursday after her training at delta, to visit me. Friday was the video screening thingy we organized over at her place (d'corner thingy) and she had to get up real early to meet the rest of the folks at Aljunied. Heard from the rest, they had a swell of a time watching WallsII and Bound. I missed all those action! I heard that Su's dad came into the living room when apparently the screen showed a nude scene where two women were making out! He said quite nonlenchantly: wah! you all watch this kind of film ar?" and went back to zzz in his room. Hee hee.. quite fun!!

 

Anyway, Su brought the tapes and VCD over to my place on Sat. I watched Bound and the intimates in the living room alone as Su zzzz in my room. she's really exhausted that day... Guess what! We managed to convince my mom that I can get out of the house that evening!!! I look okie liaoz.. my scabs all healing and stuff.. we went out on the pretex of getting food for my terrapins! Yupz! we went Simei's Pet safari for like 3 whole hours! Spent time there gai-gai-ing. =)

 

Then to pacify my parents.. we bought supper back home that night! Hee hee...Next Sunday after lunch.. I tried to sneak out of the house again!! Ths time round on the pretext of getting Su's sister a gift. yupz.. we went Bugis this time round. This was the period that I did updates and changes to our webpage. You know the photos you see from our holidays? Yupz! That's the one. The revamped index page too. =)

 

Su stayed over almost the whole of one week that her family went Tanjung Pinang. Well, I am not complaining! We just love each other's company!! =P Can't get enough of that!

I am now well and chix pox free!! =) Yipee!
