My voice got lost in a paper cup...

Much to my dismay, I have lost my voice. The coughing has done no justice. It still tries to kill me every night and every time I lay down to sleep. I went to bed at 5 am this morning. Woke up at 1.30 pm with a weird headache. Ugh. I need to see the doctor on Monday.

It was "Friday" yesterday - a very happy day for university students as it marks the significant weekend ahead. After school, we headed to the chinese supermarket to do our weekly grocery shopping. It was very cold. Edmonton's notorious winter is back to freeze our toes. Fortunately, we have Jonathan to drive us around.

However, right after shopping, there was a misunderstanding between the Chee brothers. It was an awkward moment in the car because talkative Jackie was not saying a single crappy thing. We stopped at the bubble tea restaurant to get our drinks. Jonathan parked the car and we were deciding if we should take-out the drinks or not when Jackie said he saw a liquor store nearby and got out of the car abruptly. Anyway, the girls (including me) had to be the peacemakers for the night and we told the brothers that they needed to talk to each other and settle their personal problems when they get home. I was hoping that Jackie would not be mad the whole night because then our Friday night's fun will go straight down the drain. And, I would be pissed. Jonathan was fine the whole time. It was Jackie that had the temper. Well, I guess he is much older and more matured compared to Jackie. Boys. Siblings.

Sibling rivalry is very common. A friend of mine commented, "Thank God I don't have any siblings. I only have to face fights with my parents." I thought it was a bias statement to say during the peace-making process. Well, even the best of lovers argue, siblings spat and squabble, animals do fight too...(I don't know about worms)...

It is all common. People are young and tempers flare very so often. But then again, it's an individual preference. Personally, I feel that having a sibling is the greatest gift anyone can have. For me, I have had my share of squabbles with my sister. There were many times where we have both wronged one another. Still, we will and always be sisters. She is, after all, the only next closest relative I have. I cannot imagine growing up without my little sister.

Despite all that, I have always wanted an older brother too. Well, of course I knew it was not possible ever since I came into this world, but this thought have always been with me all these years. It has nothing to do with the pushing the responsibility to the eldest, but it was more of the company. It is difficult to explain...the need for a brother.

Anyway, I don't know what happened to yy last night when we went to HCA to play pool, piano and foosball. No idea, but I was getting tired with the whole silent treatment thing. It was good that the brothers were talking and teasing one another already. If not, I would have just stormed out of the place and go back to my room to sleep. .

Still, it was fun. There's more of it to come during reading week! For now, I have to start gearing up for school. Homework is piling up fast and the semester is going to get crazily stressful again.

about me

Home: KL, Malaysia
School: U of A

I am someone who frets a lot - I call it a psychological disorder. I am constantly trying to escape my complex mind which, very often, drives me and my close companions to the edge of insanity. Born under the sun star Libra, I am greatly affected by a disease called "indecisiveness". Nicknames were never part of my dictionary until I met some people who decided to name me "turtle". Soon, I was representing a zoo of hamsters, "sotongs", pigs, cats, etc...
