Not feeling good.... but life goes on....

Oh My God!! I cannot believe how crappy I feel!! I knew something was wrong on Sunday night when I couldn't get to sleep in a comfortable position and I was shivering like I was lying down naked in the snow. For those of you who know me, that's the first sign of fever because I never feel cold!! In fact I feel perpetually hot (literally speaking)!! Anyway, I was tossing and turning for more than an hour before I took a fever pill and conked out. I woke up three times that night... once to put on another sweater (Yes... I was that cold AND I was already wearing a sweater and thick socks!!) The second time to switch off the air con and the third time to off the bloody alarm clock AND switch on the air con because it didn't feel right... don't ask me why... it just didn't) Anyway, the next morning, I woke up at 8.30 and my whole body was aching and I had a slight fever. I was thanking God left and right that I didn't have any classes on that day because I was feeling so crappy I actually didn't feel like eating or drinking anything (not even coffee!!) Anyway, I forced myself to eat a few mouthfuls of noodles, went to bed and slept the day away. I mean literally I slept from like 10 to 5 in the evening!! When I woke up, I felt better but I still felt a little crappy.


Well during dinner, my brother asked me if I've read any online news today, I said no and he told me to read what our ex-prime minister wrote in his blog... I knew it was something when he told me to read it.... So I went to his blog and read it.... Words cannot express how outraged I felt!! I wanted to say well there is no unity among Malaysians because you made us that way with your dictatorship and cronyism! I'm taking this as a sign of senility from our dear ex-prime minister because one week he said that us Chinese supported him all the way, the next week he insinuated that it is because of the Chinese and Indians that there is no racial unity in Malaysia!! What a load of dog shit!! Ugh!! After I read his words, I felt so defiled and tainted, I knew I had to read something else, something a human might say so I went to my usual news site 'Malaysia Today' and I saw our de-facto Law Minister Datuk Zaid Ibrahim tendered his resignation to the Prime Minister and I thought 'Wow!! Finally a show of integrity and the ability to know what is right and what is wrong! I respect that a lot!!' Then I read that our 'lovely' Prime Minister rejected his resignation and told him to take a two week leave to deliberate over his decision, I told myself that if he does not stand firm on this, I will not only lose respect for him as a Law Minister (de-facto or otherwise), I will also lose respect for him as a man. I also read an article about what some UMNO members (from Johor if I'm not mistaken...) who stated that if Datuk Zaid wishes to resign as the Law Minister over the ISA arrests, he should do so because it is the duty of the followers to follow and agree with whatever decisions the government makes. When i read that, my first thought was 'WOW!! such loyal followers the Prime Minister has!! No wonder no one is complaining about the state of the nation right now' *sarcastic smile* I support Datuk Zaid's decision because he is following his principles and should he change his mind, he will prove to the entire world that no one in a certain political party has an independent thought and is willing to follow that thought. This is one thought I hope that it will not come true. So I was so happy today when I read his press conference that he will not change his mind. I'm taking this as a sign of good changes coming our way...
