Pox: the theories and finally, the truth
Sunday, May 27th, 2007I blame it on karma? bad luck? ‘perfect’ timing?… i dont know. But a couple of days back, i started to get these reddish spots on myself. Had no idea what they were and so, my dear intelegent family came up with a few theories.
- Dad (the supposedly DOCTOR in the hse! sheesh!!) blamed the weather! *wow! why didnt i think of that! geee…. cos its a dumb theory!!!* … anyway, he claimed that its been fluctuating like nuts lately that one minute u need your umbrella and the next u want to take all your clothes off (because its hot)! Thanks dad, that REALLY helped. *note the sarcasm…
- Mom dearest said that "ohh.. maybe Myrna (the maid) used too much or too little washing powder/conditioner when washing the bed sheets. maybe its a bed bug thats biting u!"… that is sooo mom! *sigh.
- My own theory? Maybe its the new facial wash i’m trying out. You know Watsons has come up with their own line of facial and body products… mom decided to try them out cos they smelt really good and were dirt cheap! thus my theory, "cheap things made in THAILAND could possibly cause red spots!!" I had this plan of exposing Watsons and doing a whole "before and after" story on how the product is a fake and posting it to the local newspaper! thank God i found out the real cause ..
Ladies and gentlemen…. do u know that chicken pox can still occur in people my age? Yes, of course you do. But who would have freaking thought of that. Everyone assumes that you get chicken pox when you’re really little and your immune to it for life. Thus, no one suggested ‘The Pox’ when i asked for their opinion. Geez… this thing was spreading like wildfire. Okay, not really. But i was getting pretty worried, and me being me… i thought i was going to .. hmmm.. die. Yes, die. For like the 5th time!! Anyway, went to the hosp, got the GP on duty to check it out and he confirmed i FINALLY had the Pox. F*ck f*ck f*ck f*ck!!!! PERFECT TIMING i tell u!! Exams restart on tuesday next week (the 5th!) and its Statistics 1. Econs is on that same week, Fri. *sigh*
Now, judging from the way its going… i am 100% isolating and quarantining myself from the world. Initially i just didnt wanna bother and do my usual thing. Ampang, futsal, bowling, college library… wtv u know. But gosh, its hard waking up in the morning not recognising yourself. Therefor, to Shaun Boey, i’m sorry but i have to excuse myself from teaching you Stats. (aiyo.. malu la Shaun! but Nadia is chickenpox-free and her stats is awesome!! =P). To ermm… everyone else? Happy studying u lucky f*cks.. (oops ok i didnt mean that! but *sighhh…. why la why!!!*). Gluck for the exams ppl!! WIsh me a speedy recovery!! (I even asked the Doc to double my dosage! he gave me a funny look …=S ) like REALLY REALLY REALLLY SUPPPERRRR FAST BEFORE THIS FRI cos i need Ms Foo to come give me more Stats and Maths revision classes!!! Arghhh… That woman hasnt gotten it before either and she doesnt want to risk it because she’ll be having her wedding photo shoot the following week. Oooh… imagine having the Pox on your wedding day! F*cking hell!! hahaha… Anyway, i understand that she wants to stay away. I’d do the same too… (See Nadia!! Not EVERYONE has gotten chickenpox before!! Including Ms Foo!! hah!)…
Well, what to do what to do. This is Day 2 of the Pox invasion. Hmmm.. i wonder how many ppl i’ve already passed it on to without knowing??! Gosh.. sorry folks. If its to little kids (like the ones i saw in Kiara while bowling with Sheg and Sheena on Sat)… then you should be bloody thankful that you’re getting it NOW and not when you’re 18 yrs old like me and just about to sit for your A Levels FINALS that btw, determine if u can go to effing Uni or not =( ! GRRrrrrrr GRRRRRrrrrr!!!
Adui… wtv la ppl. I HATE EXAMS! AND GETTING SICK!! Pls pray for me!! Thankyou
