wmp: taking back sunday, what's it feel like to be a ghost

i've been using my inhaler throughout the week, before the morning runs, in the middle of the night, but usually discreetly behind my parents back(if only they wldn't kick a fuss out of it). this time round i just told them somehow. expectedly they mentioned how i should have out grown my asthma at my age and "no wonder i looked so haggard & pale". but when dad asked me to sniff on vicks vapour and reminded me to take my windbreaker out that sunday, and the world best mum putting down a mug of warm 'pei pa koa' right in front of me, all that, if you ask me, was priceless.

still, the uncontrollable coughs were killin' my throat that i found it better to be drugged on cough syrup and sleep through the rainy saturday. somewhere in the middle of the day i watched afro samurai. didn't think they could make an afro with a sword look that cool. voiced by samuel l jackson. not much of a storyline but pretty neat nevertheless.

last friday evening the bunch of us, andrew frankie lowbar & i, decided to have dinner at 'botak jones' which was good. the serving was generous & it was easy to see why almost everyone there in the kopitiam were there just for the american food. we caught the simpsons. hilarious flick. i tried not to cough too loudly throughout.

i woke up on a cloudy sunday, coughing still. i had planned a lazy day at the beach; a few good games of volleyball maybe but mostly lazing around. but it looked so damn cold out there. i met up with felix & cs still at ps. 'knocked up' was a good film. recommended. again i tried not to cough too much throughout. but i coughed as though i had tuberculosis as we walked down the streets to city hall after a couple of rounds of pool at meridian.

and so, there goes the weekend... great. frankly, just thinking about pulling through tmr is hard enough...
