The Condemned
I was watching this movie "The Condemned" this evening and it made me shudder. At so many parts of the movie, I found myself saying, "Oh my Gosh, this is too much!"

I'm not a big fan of action movies but this movie got me glued to my seat. I just wanted to find out how the story develops. Luckily, it had a good ending. *smilez* One thing for sure, this movie made me realised just how much of a sadist a person can be, taking pleasure at the cost of another person's pain and suffering.

They say TV depicts the realities of life. I just hope it's only true to a certain extent and not like what's in the movie. Anyway, here's a trailer of the movie. Warning - Watch it only if you can tolerate violence.

Lost 3kg...
Good news and bad news... Good news is that I've lost 3kg in 2 weeks!... and the bad news is that... I lost weight 'coz of dengue fever.. Me, my brother and my dad.. all three down with dengue at the same time.. *frownz*

I was down with dengue fever from 11 September all the way till 21 September... but even now, I'm still having the after effects of it. It all started on 11 September (such a coincidence that I should fall sick on the same day as the Sept 11 attacks). I was at work and it was raining that day. But all of a sudden during my recess break at 10am, I felt cold.. terribly cold. I took my temperature and it was 38.5.

When I was in class, I couldn't do anything, couldn't even stand... so I just gave instructions to my class and let them do their art on their own. I monitored my temperature and by the time it was 11.30am, I was 39degrees hot! And as I shivered (even with a shawl and the fans in the class were at their minimum), I decided, that's it, I couldn't stand it anymore. So I requested relief and took time-off from work. And on 13 Sept when I went to the doc for the second time, I took a blood test. And it was my first time taking one!

And it was a slooooww process! The doc took blood from my hand and all the way she was saying, "The blood's coming out real slow." I think it took 5 minutes for her to collect my blood sample. Argh! Two days later, the blood test confirmed that I had dengue, and I had to take two more blood tests to monitor my platelets count. *shudder*T

The whole ordeal was horrible. So now, eventhough I managed to lose some weight, given a choice, I wouldn't want to go through it again. My appetite just came back a few days ago, but even so, I still can't eat much. And worse, the fasting month's started, and I've missed a number of days! *sighz*

Anyway, I'm just glad that I'm on the road to recovery now. So to all my friends, beware of the Aedes mosquito! Dengue's horrible!

Is it me?
On an early Friday morning, I was doing my norm, waiting for my bus at the interchange. I don't usually take photos of myself when I'm outside (kinda feels weird doing it, like being self-obsessed *laffs*) but somehow, I did. And the photo's below.



When I showed it to my dearest and my two friends on Saturday, they asked, "Who's this?" I was quite surprised 'coz to me, it looked obvious. Well, probably becoz I'm just so used to myself by now. But then when I took a closer look, I looked different from that angle. Anyway, I was just trying to wake myself up, meddling with my mobile. That's one of the times that makes me appreciate having one. *winks*

By the way, I had a great time celebrating Teachers' Day on Friday, eating at Breeks with my close buddy-cum-colleague. Ate a set lunch, with beef steak as the main course. Yummy! And it was continued on Saturday night, with my dearest, his friends and my galfrens. We had a good laugh recollecting the events of that night. There was even a lesson learnt... when someone says, "I'm ok, I'm ok." it doesn't necessarily carry the meaning intended. *laffs*

Happy Teachers' Day 2007 to all my colleagues and fellow teachers out there. Hope you continue to be strong-willed and persevere when handling the little devilz. Here's leaving you with my favourite teacher quote: "They don't care how much you know, 'till they know how much you care. "
