craving for TLC...

last 2 nights i was really in a bad shape. remember i said i was sick and felt like i was bedridden? initially i thought i got better. i was having headache, but hey, not much biggie. then the constant pain in my head began to get worse. i have to hold my head real straight cos sudden jerks feel like someone whack me hard with a saucepan. plus the pain behind my eye grew painer and painer. you know what kinda headache im talking about? the one where your eyeball feel like its being squeezed? yeah well, my left eye felt like its almost squashed that night. i went off to bed after serving dessert. was having fever, so wrapped myself like a dumpling and crawl underneath my quilt, feeling damn sad that nobody in my family seems to care bout me. ok maybe they didnt know. maybe i managed to act like everything's ok. maybe i've been moving around like my usual self. but i was feeling damn uncomfortable. stomach was also feeling kinda queasy. all i need was someone to shower me with a little concern...but all i could do was sms Dear while sobbing into my pillow. Dear could sense something wasnt right (even thru my sms) and he quickly called me...

while we were talking, suddenly Aunty Joice came into my room. she started touching my forehead and neck, and was surprised my temperature was so high. then everything that i had been wishing for began to happen. Next Aunty Annie and my mom came in. the 3 aunties begain fussing over me. Aunty Annie went home to get her grandson's KoolFever. Aunty Joice asked EV to bring some herb and cool pack for me. Then she gave me massage on my head and feet. Mommy started sponging me with wet towel. Then Eu Gene went home to bring over rock sugar. the aunties went to boil dunno what herb which can cure fever. my biggest wish came true...Dear came and accompany me! he held my hands and talked to me til i fell asleep. the aunties were so understanding...they went downstairs and left Dear to take care of me. i was half conscious, drifting in and out of sleep. my eyes were closed most of the time, but i could hear their conversation. oh, and even Lexter showed her concern! she tried to come close to peep at the commotion but the aunties were blocking her way. so she jumped up on my bed just to come near and sniffed me. she knows she's not allowed to jump on beds, but she was desperate to "visit" me. perhaps to tell me that she didnt forget me too. even dogs know that someone is not feeling well ok...

so yeap...that was one night i'll never forget. my fever was only 37.5degrees, but everyone was so concern! and by the end of the night, i fever really subsided. even my headache was gone. i went to sleep with a smile...
