In order to prevent further episodes of atopy leading to secondary viral infection which seems to exacerbate my airway hyperresponsiveness, thus necessitating a short course of oral corticosteroids to stop the vomit-inducing cough that plagues me… I’ve totally cleared out my room today!
Armed with a mask I nicked from the OT, the goggles (from our PPE) and slippers, I packed up the doghouse (my room), wiped all the books in my shelf, all the CDs, the printer, phone, files, TV and cupboard!!! And also use alcohol swabs on my notebook - a suggestion from a kind soul out there… But um… I think the alcohol erased the N from my keyboard!!!
Also had to pack up all my paeds stuff into this dusty-no-more black folder, chucked it into the paper carton under the window sill and sealed the stuff up! haha… shall reopen in yr 5! lolz…
Decided to pack my cupboards as well and unearthed… 5 tins and a folder of letters and knick-knacks given by all my friends from sec sch till now… 6 tins! Can you believe it?
Lina tops the list, by sending me 68 letters over a space of 10 years, while Sanz finishes a close second by sending me 45 over a period of 9 years!
This is my all-time favourite card, brought tears to my eyes when I remember how kind everyone was to me following a bout of severe illness when I was 16… See, so crowded! heheh
Do you see the beautiful designs on the right side of the card? Those were done by my lab partner, fellow accomplice in crime (haha, I still remember the mini explosion of chlorine plus dunno what, and a projectile of black foul smelling gooey stuff that almost hit Mrs Leong)
Haiz, so touching…
I also unearthed letters from friends… such as Melissa, Puay, Stef, Lizhen, Sab, Joce… All of whom I’ve lost contact with. *SOB* I shouldn’t have let that happen right???
Then I found a bundle of letters, and it’s really quite a significant lot of long rambly kind of notes from a ‘Raphael’, it’s either my angel/mortal in JC… Hmmm, I also feel very guilty for not keeping in contact with him. Sometimes it’s really hard to find someone who seems to understand what you say so well, it’s a real waste not to treasure such friendships.
Haiz, am I a lousy friend? Am I? Am I? Am I???
