sometimes you don't know what you've got until it smacks you between the eyes.

i woke up happy today :)
i don't know why. lol :)

it's the last paper for the darlings of 07A01 :)
ok...not all of them. just like...7? excluding me? yup.
hahahahaha i have no idea why i'm so happy.
maybe it's because if i sat for the mids it'd be over today!
5pm darlings....hang in there!

then we can go for dinner to celebrate :))

i'm in like a thanksgiving mood.
for some reason i'm feeling really thankful for all that i have. for being me.
i've got the best - though sometimes dysfunctional- family,
the bestest friends who are always there for me, whether i need them or not,
the nicest teachers - well not all, but most - that anyone can ask for,
and and....i don't know.
I'M JUST THANKFUL OKAY?

if you're reading this just remember that i'm thankful to have you in my life too :)

i think falling ill cause of dengue has really opened my eyes.
like there are really people who care for me.
and that i'm never alone.
i know there were times when things look really bleak and i feel all alone, but these people were always there.
maybe i was just too self-absorbed to notice the angels god sent me.

i'm well :))
so i just want to thank the people who cared.
all the care and concern are greatly appreciated.
all the get-well-soon, all the how-are-you-feeling today, all the are-you-getting-better, all the just-concentrate-on-getting-well, all the call-me, all the i'll-go-to-the-doctor-with-you-if-you-want, all the rest-well/rest-early, all the daily messages, all the daily calls, all the get well soon cards, the emails, all the postings on the class forum, the poems.

they really made me feel loved.

even gisella the bimbo was a love :)
hahaha though she only found out about the dengue yesterday.
i received an sms from her at an ungodly hour. 6.48am.
LOL...though it was to scold me for not meeting them the past 3 days, at least it was a message of concern.
love her reaction when she found out i don't have to sit for the exams cause of dengue. :)
classic.

jayne's lovely get well soon card that was hand-written and sent via snail mail was really sweet.

sheer's no link poem that she wrote and posted on the forum, all the other numerous spam posts "dedicated" to me, and her emails were heart-warming. considering the fact that we hated each other during the 1st 3 months. if being thrown in the same class again and in the same PW group was one of life's cruel jokes, it doesn't seem so cruel after all.

the rest of the posts from the class on the forum as well - they were lovely.

nat's are-you-feeling-better-today on msn and her bullshit with banglas to make me laugh :)

the short tags by alex and melody :)

emily's and adriene's messages everyday with their constant reminder for me to rest well, take care, sleep early etcetc...

was surprised by lao shi's smses telling me to take care and wondering how bored i am at home. :) the hope you are feeling better and the xiao ping shi fu. though i would grateful if she doesn't insert chinese words in the middle of english messages. :) hahaha...

jo's daily phone calls and messages to ask about the trip to the doctor's, the blood tests results, the rash, the fever, asking me to drink juice and eat grapes everyday, or just entertaining me.
the offers to go for the dreaded blood tests with me :)
and just being there all the time :) i love that girl.
this time last year i never imagined that she'll be the one i'm closest to after graduation, after g8 gets scattered all over the place.
these are the kind of surprises that life has in store for us.

val and nic's messages to ask what i've been doing for the past week when everyone's mugging their brains out. the OH-MY-GOD-YOU'VE-GOT-DENGUE, and the well-wishes.
and how they're always there too.

melly's care and concern despite all the HAHAHAs that made me feel like a stupid kid who made the mosquito bite me.
lol...

my family's love, care, concern, and everything else in between.
mummy worrying about me day and night, driving home during lunch hour to take me to the polyclinic for stupid blood tests everyday, and waiting hours with me.
daddy making me laugh as often as possible when i feel like shit. making me laugh when i'm crying cause i'm feeling so awful. - i feel quite dumb laughing and crying at the same time.
my grandparents' fussing were really and finally appreciated too.
my brother's you-are-going-to-die and the wont-die-one-lah. he says different things on different days.



i just feel happy happy happy today.
i guess i just woke up happy :)
i like feeling happy :))
