Remember what I was saying, about how a lot of things are not fated?

The strangest thing happened when I was playing mahjong at Viwawa.

The person sat next to me is nicknamed ‘Letfatebe’.

Tsk tsk. And I was going to blog about how my birthday “chap sar yio” and I are really not fated. But that’s another story for another day.

Anyway.. OH OH OH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My first chap sar yio! Sadly, not in real life lah. Don’t ask me why it is 15 not 16 doubles.

Thrown by ‘letfatebe’.

Must be a sign, I tell you.

I was waiting for bai ban when it all happened. I was so excited when I was waiting for my winning tile that I told FF that I was short of 2(9 wan and bai ban), and then 1. And finally ‘letfatebe’ threw the bai ban.

2 of the players promptly left the table without saying anything.

My voice was too hoarse for me to yell in absolute glee, woooohoooo!

My hands were so wet and sweaty that I scared I couldn’t click to win.

Yay!

Gee. If only they could be eaten.

At least the weekend ain’t too bad now.

Well, considering the fact that I spent Saturday sleeping, and dragging myself down to the doctor’s, I thought it was bad enough.

I was given 3 days MC(well, one day only if you consider the fact that it was weekend). And plenty of medication to knock me out.

I tried to shop for some necessities until I started to feel shortness of breath and my head felt too light. And my plans with the girlies had to be cancelled.

Back to home I went, and I just curled up in bed and watched Sex and the City for the night.

I felt too sick to be playing mahjong on Viwawa, and I was even too sick to care about my site which has been down over the longest time.

You see lah, sick must sick on birthday. Site down must site down on birthday.

It was 1 plus when I took the cocktails of medication and went to sleep.

I woke up to take my medication again at 10am, and it was 4pm when I finally woke up with a very, very, very airy head.

I know, I know, it has always been airy, but it is definitely worse today.

I nearly shrilled with absolute horror when I looked into the mirror.

This is after I soothed it. It was waaaayyy worse when I woke up. The whites of my left eye were red and it’s damn painful when I blink. The entire eye area, including the eye bag, is painful. And the whole eye looks bruised.

I look like I was punched by someone.

And because my trip to the doc’s was only yesterday, I refuse to head down to the doctor’s again.

It would have been my 5th trip in a month, and that’s absolutely insane.

So I am now getting diagnosed over MSN, which is pretty funny.

And I am feeling too sick to leave the house.

And I am reluctant to go on MC tomorrow. I mean, hello? It is too soon for me to be on MC.

But doctor had said that I am a super infectant, and I should be kept away and stored in a box. So I shall get myself a mask tomorrow.

But it doesn’t cover my very bad eye. Should I get an eyepatch or something?

I will look like some freak tomorrow, I tell you.

Oh, did I mention that I lost my voice too? And the medication did nothing to bring them back

And then, I realised, how some things are just so not fated. Really I tell you, it was a game of fate on my birthday and everything was just not fated. When I am feeling a tad better, I will blog about it more extensively.

But thanks to many brilliant people who brightened my days up.

To those, I would like to say a big thank you

And just like that, I am a year older, and none the wiser.
