H1N1

Sigh...when will this all stop????? Sigh sigh sigh... Apparently, it won't just infect people who are either, very young, very old, or sickly. It can affect ANYBODY now. Haiz.


Wearing a mask whenever I go out is sometimes a nuisance, embarrasing, uncomfortable, giving a wrong impression, etc.


I say nuisance and uncomfortable because, it's so hot wearing it, I mean hot as in the hot panas hot...=) Uncomfortable because, it keeps getting in the way. Hard for people to hear you, and etc.


Giving a wrong impression because alot of people think you have flu when you wear a mask. And it doesn't help a bit, with the STUPID advertisment. I saw an advertisment today on tv. Goodness! The advertisment said,


IF YOU HAVE FLU, WEAR A MASK.


Goodness!!!!!! No wonder people are always staring at me like stay away and stuff...sigh...wat a stupid advertisment. really.


Embarrasing because MALAYSIANS, are not scared. They only wait for really something terrible only they wear. Sigh.


More people wear masks in Puchong than Subang. As far as I can see la. Go to shopping mall in puchong, got more people wearing. Subang arrr, BARELY. Hardly. So few.


Sigh sigh sigh. This is so irritating.


OH yea and some more, going to bsf now, the one and only fren frm my class who wore a mask, doesn't not wear anymore. So, I'm the only one wearing, and it's so like malu. Some more teacher sometimes say can't hear me. And have to speak louder. Then one guy, typical of him, said one time, to take off my mask and read. Sigh...


PEER PRESURE. Come on Charissa, YOU CAN'T SUCCUMB TO IT. You have to put up a bold front, nose in the air, and ingnore all this. It's good for you, to wear a mask so don't worry.


Oh, and we've been wondering for quite awhile, if we're wearing our masks correctly. Because, so many say it's this way, and that way and this way and that. So frustrated! So my mummy checked the internet to see if there's any info.


This is what we found out...

There are two sides of a surgical mask and the white color side contains the filter. The correct way to use is:

If we have flu, the white side should be attached to our faces, (the color side faces out) to filter the mircro-organisms and not to spread it to others.

If we are not ill, the white side should face out to protect micro-organisms from the enviroment from coming in contact with us.


Kk...hope this will help others who have a problem in which is the correct side for masks just like Me and my Family.

And pls do remember to be considerate, and don't only think of yourselves but also others. If you're sick, pls try and avoid going out, to protect yourself and others. And do clean your hands with sanitizer often. And take the necessary steps to help protect others. Thank you!

SUN WALK...SUN BATHING...

Sigh...Im so frustrated today...

I was supposed to go down to the lobby to give my phone to my daddy for him to take to some nokia shop to cek smth...cz my phone arrr...dunno why la...got so many problems...(I seem to have a whole load of problems) So, actually plan to go and buy twisties or mango ice cream. So when daddy called, I decided to kill two birds with one stone.

So I asked my sis whtr she wanna come along. Actually, it was her idea to buy. haha...so she said ok. So asked mummy whtr wanna come along. She said, no. But she wanted a packet of twisties and mango ice cream. So she gave the money for hers, my sis and I took our money too.

Went down. There are two entrances. One leading to the porch or lobby, and the other one to the swimming pool and play ground, etc. So both me and my sis's minds were on buying ice-cream and stuff. Coz today was like REALLY REALLY HOT. So we actually went out the wrong way, supposed to go out the other way to give my daddy the phone first. Then after going out the other way, I heard a familar horn.

I was like, eh? Sounds familar. But I thought aiya, maybe somebody's car same horn la. Then suddenly, it dawned on me that I was supposed to give the phone to my dad! I started laughing, and told my sis, she also started laughing. My dad was like, giving an "angry" look d. I apologized and said our minds were somewhere else. He was like, oh...haha...so yeah...

Then daddy gave us the newspaper to take up. Then jie was like, wait, what if the fella working in the mini market think we stole the paper? Cz he oso sell wan. Then I was like, aiya, just leave it at our lobby there, la...nobody will take it I think. Then I decided, aiya, just go up and put it in our home and come down again. So we did. Should have stayed up there. And not come back down again...

Then walked to Block A to the mini market there. Apparently, it happens to be so incovenient, as it's always like closed at odd times. And just as we were going to arrive there, I told my sis to be prepared that it may be closed.

RIGHT ENOUGH. Sigh...TUTUP. Ayuh!!!!!! Sigh...I tell you, it was so hot out there. I was sweating like crazy. And I was hoping that I can have something cold. Instead what do I get?

SUN WALKING or SUN BATHING. Haiz...so angry...=)

Walk back. Told mummy the "story." She was like, ayuh, so inconvenient wan this mini market...haha...actually it's even minier than a mini market...=)

So thats wat happen to me and sis today...

Edited post

Hey all,

I've edited the champagne grapes post as it wasn't at all good...hope it's better now...

So those who have read the earlier one, pls read it again...

Enjoy

Champagne Grapes!

Mummy bought some Champagne Grapes yesterday. Apparently, my daddy said it's bitter. But probably because it wasn't ripe yet. I ate some today, it was yummylicious! =)

It tastes like normal grapes, looks like normal grapes, except that it is smaller in size and quite expensive. Here are some pics... And oh yar...I'm trying to make these pics into a "story" so just readers, just imagine I'm at a fruit shop or smth, and not in my kitchen aite? =) Here goes...

I went to a fruit shop, looking for some grapes...here comes the fruit seller, showing me some champagne grapes, insisting that it's delicious, and "cheap."

A bunch of them...

Putting it up to have a better view of it...

In my palm to "measure" it...and unfortunately, though it looked like normal grapes just now, look at it now. The whole bunch can fit into my palm...so you all can imagine how small it is...

The fruit seller nearly dumps it into my face! I quickly took a step back before it touched me...=)

Looking at it...

Me: Ayuh Encik, it doesn't look that good la.

Encik: Apa tak bagus, BAGUS dan SEDAP!

Still pretty skeptical...

On second thoughts, "Encik, berapa ar?"

Encik: "Oh, saya bagi kamu murah murah la...RM 5.

Me: "HARRR!!!!!!!! RM 5!!!! Ayuh, sangat mahal la...bagi murah sikit la?"

Encik: "Tak boleh la. Sudah murah."

Me: "hmmm k la..tak mau la."

Encik: "eh eh, ok la. Saya bagi you only RM4.

Me: "hmmmm...on second thoughts, looks pretty cute and yummy...mmmm... OK la...saya beli la..."

Posing with it...so small la...see!!!! All in my palm only!!!!!!!

Sounds abit like a story eh???? =) So, was the story intresting anot???? I don't think so hor...not that good...sangat boring ya? =)

Eczema and Hives = Torture!

I forgot to add why I'm so desperate to have cooler air. The reason why is, because somehow, I'm maybe allergic to my own sweat. Crazy hor? Because I've noticed, whenever there's hot weather, sure sweat right? Then sweat, sometimes my eczema will come out. Depends la...if it's really alot of sweat most likely it will. Haiz.

Hives? Noticed it will come out when the temperature changes from hot to cold. So since it's hot weather, when I sleep, I will normally sleep with aircond. So thats the big problem. Hives will start to come out.

Can you feel my torture? My eczema is like SUPER DUPER ITCHY! My chest area, shoulders, and neck, all infected with it. Sigh. I wish it will all go off la. I really feel like I can't tahan for another day. Hives? Aiya, that one arrr...itchy oso la...so what to do? Kena two at the same time. Makes it worse.

I happened to have such a troublesome body. Sigh...so many skin problems.

1) Eczema (itch itch itch)
2) Hives (itch itch itch, n scary)
3) Face problem (pimples here and there, I know that alot of ppl will go through that, but i've seen some of my frens, not even a single one and somore so nice and smooth.)
4) Dry skin here and there

Basically thats all I can remember for now.

I'm really scared of my hives because, according to my mummy, she said heard or read, (I can't rem) that some ppl it gets so bad, they can die...yerrrr...I very takut la...=((((

Dear God! Pls, why do you have to give me so many skin problems????? Pls if it's in Your will, take it all away. I know you made me like this for a reason. But I really cannot stand it any longer!!!!!!!!! Pls help me to live with it, and be strong and trust in You. In Jesus Name, I pray, AMEN!

Charissa

p.s. The weather is not any better. sigh...even worse than yesterday I think. =(
