flawed work of art.

don't you just hate it when you're awakened from your slumber? especially when you had trouble entering dreamland in the first place?? yes, I have been suffering from insomnia the past few nights. worst of all, I was obliged to wake up early the next day. sometimes, it's my dog. other times, it's my mom. I'm so deprieved of sleep that I don't even bother about the alarm on my mobile nowadays. fang should know. I only woke up when she gave me a missed call when she reached my place a few days ago. stupid listening thingy for driving. okok, actually the lecturers were all incredibly funny, but the day I went was a day after I touched down from kl. I heard what they were saying, but I wasn't bothered to absorb it. I have a bad feeling I'm gonna flunk the test. uh-oh.
right. back to today, furbster attacked me in my sleep at an unearthly hour (for a holidaying student) of 7. I would've shoved the little furball off my bed if I had the strength. unfortunately, (or fortunately, for all you obsessed animal lovers) after finally gaining admittance into lala land at 3 am, I was in no position to do that. instead, I got a faceful of fur sniffing my face. if that won't wake the blooming daylights outta me, I don't know what will. which was in a way, good, cos' I was supposed to accompany my gran to the hospital for her CT scan. we were late. don't look at me. I was the early one. mom, being peeved with dad cos' he kept rushing her, kinda told mama off in the car. though my canton sucked, I managed to understand a few bits & pieces. the hurtful ones. I stayed silent but my mind was whizzing with protests. she is after all only a lil' old lady. she didn't ask to be born with all these ailments....
I never actually went to see a doc aside from my dad & the occasional dermatologist, which was only a couple of steps away from my dad's place. I was more relaxed today however cos' since I brought mama to the same hospital a couple of days ago, I'd know how to handle things, right? wrong. I forgot that we were in m'sia & not in japan, where everyone would nod courteously. she must be the head clerk of the x-ray labs or something, but that doesn't give her the job to snap back at a patient. ok, a patient's granddaughter. I'm paying for a service here, ma'am. besides, it was barely 9 am. sheesh. wonder what twisted her knickers. ok, that was mean. but yeah, I detest rude-ass people who think they can get away with anything. anyways, after mama drank up some milk-looking solution, we waited an hour before the scan was done. after which we waited another hour for the results. even though the tiny room was crowded with people, the place was still an igloo. I took off my jacket (smart-thinking on my part *wink*) twice cos' my gran said she felt cold. and whilst doing so, I was dreaming for my prince charming to do the same. hah! yes, I'll continue to dream on.. after receiving the results, we went back to the gastroentrologist. he checked the scans & announced that everything was normal. the cause of mama's fever & jaundice was actually a tiny stone in the gallbladder which was slowly disappearing. my heart gave a little cheer as we left the clinic...
later in the afternoon, I dumped dropped all my secondary 4 & 5 books to pam. it's a n annual affair reminding me how old I am. this year was exceptionally so as there was not 2, not 3, but around 8 bags full of books. poor pam's gonna have to sort through the whole pile that I so kindly packed according to subject. :D well, I am a tad bit OCD about categorising my stuff. especially during the exam period, when I would start cleaning my room when I was stressed out or couldn't get to sleep. after a reverse to Godma's to pass eva a pack of jap chocolates, I made my way to fang's, then to the plaza. you wouldn't guess who we bumped into. poor old wei yi was just as surprised to see us. I think it took her a few seconds to register who we were. lol. I collected my lenses & headed for a bite at season's. yeah, back there again. *rolls eyes* I took a few bites of my frosted choc malt and surrendered. luckily for fang & I, we had weiyi, who still had room after her breaded chicken & half of the malt. fang & I were speechless. oh wait, rewind.... a tall, lanky bespectacled waiter took our order and weiyi had to say something as he was collecting our menu..

weiyi: how old are you?
cel: he's our age...
him: yeah. we're old schoolmates.

I was surprised he recognised me. we weren't even close. anyway, he couldn't stop making eye contact with our little miss weiyi & passing comments to her. hyuk hyuk. fang & I never stopped teasing her too.
