My cussie who visited me in hopsital told me

"this is the first time i'm seeing you like this."

"like what?" i asked.

"quiet you mean?".

"yes. even you noticed. you are always talking. so rare and odd to see you quiet".

and then she texted me

"i miss the talkative ragha".


my sir, ME3 Cheste who visited me alone, turned out to be my dad's friend. he walked in and when he saw my dad, with and exclaimed "EH!", he asked "your son?". and so, now i know they are friends.


another sir of mine, Maj Daniel, gave me an option to look into, with regards to my degree - SAF Scholarship, just like him. Have to do a thorough research before i can come to a conclusion!


Sivakangai is a total joker. she was so baby-like when in the hospital. Practically fascinated with every single thing there - the food, the bed, the tv, the toilet! haha. but she came down two days, god knows for wat! thanks you Sivz!


My dearest Dappa came on the first day itself and she looked like an angel in her punjabi suit! WOW! and the second day that she came, sad, but funny, we were all teasing her about her $10 high heels, that apparently had caused her major discomfort because of the socks! Oops! did i just let the cat outta the bag?!

  A Five day (four night) stay at TTSH.

My stay at TTSH was an awesome one.

Let me first begin with why i was admitted. Stomach Flu and Food Poisoning. I don't think it is the Pizza i ate on sat, but the bottled Coffee that i drank before i ate the pizza. It was exactly when Puyal was about to start when i began vomitting. Everynow and then, i had to get up halfway during the show, go to the toilet and puke. I wanted to watch the Alumni dance as well as the Medley dance performance, and so i stayed till the end. I shall talk about Puyal later.

Even after Puyal ended, my vomitting did not! Took a cab, headed home. Mum brought me to a 24hr clinic and got a jab there. The doctor said that if the jab doesn't take effect i would have to go to the hospital. And just like he said, i had to go to the hospital. However, i was simply too weak too move that my mum had to call the ambulance. And yes, i was brought to the hospital viz ambulance. My first time in one as a casualty, sleeping on the cot-stretcher! Wasn't exactly a thrilling ride though.

Reached the hospital and immediately had an IV drip. The doc did a "one-shot-one-kill" when he drew blood and dislodged the cathether. (this is was happens when u get a medic to explain his stay at a medical facility). The vomitting and diarrhoea did not stop. It was going on and on and on and on...... i was brought to the observatory ward where they kept on giving me oral medicine which didn't make things better, but rather worse. everytime i took the medicine, i ended up puking. I was also given this disgusting orange drink that was supposed to replenish the salt in me, but the moment that fluid touched my taste buds, i vomitted.

Quoting what my mum kept telling everyone who visited me in the hospital, i "looked pathetic. like a child curled up in the womb". My mum was SO worried for me and frustrated with the doctors/nurses there for not attending to me and continually giving me medicines that didn't make a difference. It was when she decided to 'make some noise' when the doctor decided to inject some medicine via IV, miracle or what, i felt SO much better! Honestly, i did not know time was flying. I was brought up to the ward (8A, bed 29) a little late at nite.

The next day when i woke up, i was all so ready to leave. I was feeling so much better. I thought i would just need to rest and all will be fine... Until the nurse told me that i was down with a fever! and then the fever started its work. My joints and muscles started aching so badly, that i became, once again, like a hamster!

and my diarrhoea hadn't exactly stopped. my vomitting had stopped though. And so everytime i wanted to go to the toilet, i had to call for the nurse so that she could take the IV drip tubing outta some machine so that i could carry it to the toilet. that was the most troublesome part of being on drips.

and then my vomitting started again, at 2am in the morning! Damn! When i was all so prepared to get discharged, this had to happen. And then, after breakfast, i vomitted again! and this time the diarrhoea had stopped. urgh! and finally, after some medications, i was feeling so much better and got discharged! YAY!!!

Well, my stay in the hospital made me realise one VERI IMPORTANT thing. LOVE DOES EXIST!
I used to think that love never existed at all and that people confused love with many other things like, affection, passion, etc.. I also used to tell people that parental love is not love but it's just their mere duty, or you could even call it sacrifice.
But now... I do think that love exists! and that's thanks to my MUM! Hearts her loads!

Those days that i spent in the hospital, like some pathetic kid, helpless, my mum was there. She came every morning and left only at 10pm (ignoring the fact that visiting hours were from 12 to 2 and 5 to 8pm). I don't remember seeing her eat her lunch nor dinner. I don't remember seeing her closing her eyes to sleep, even for a little while! And every little movement of mine would cause her to jump out from her seat and see whether i'm alright.

It's hard to explain her actions and my reactions towards them. But one thing for sure, all that she did were out of love! Not because she was my mother or not because i needed them, but because she loved me! and so do i.

  I have got two people to treat:

1. My dearest lovely sister, Jaga. Why? Cos she had brought me some very good news, regarding her education, like she always does! And yeah, im so happy for her! And of course, once again, she has made me so proud of her. Her achievements since her N levels have been just sooo amazing, i have decided that calling her by her nick (that being LJ) would be an insult to her intelligence. Bet she will be super happy when she reads this! I am really so happy for her. :) And im pretty sure that she will do me proud once again. I wish her all the best in this new journey that she will be embarking on very soon. And of all things, the only thing she asked from me was to organise an outing with NavaZ cos she misses them. Well, i will, my dear! Just for u!
2. My darling friend, Aunty Shini. It is pretty obvious why. For all the hard work she has put in to choreograph the Alumni dance. With all that stress she has with her school assignment and her social life, she has been so dedicated and comitted with the dance. Attending all practices on time, despite them being so early in the morning, on a weekend! And her patience in teaching the dancers, who weren't very exactly disciplined. But well, she has made a nice dance piece for the Alumni to perform... All the best with your beauty performance on Puyal, my darling dancers! And thanks to u Shini :) One treat coming your way!

Oh well. Panguni was awesome! There were more kavadis than what i saw in thaipusam! Haha. The weather in the morning was so hot, i would say burning. The weather in the afternoon was bad - super heavy rain, that delayed me from leaving home. Left house a little late. Went to "poking place", where there were so many kavadis! Simply beautiful! And then, it was drizzling rather heavily and all i could see after leaving the "poking place" were umbrella tops instead of the kavadis' uchi (top). There was this particular Kavadi that attracted my attention. The HUGE Durgai Amman kavadi that was being shifted around here and there, i couldn't stop to take a photo of it. But it was simply LARGE and amazing. Another one was the Hanuman Kavadi, that Singaiyidi Urumi was playing for. The hanuman was just sooo handsome. I liked his eyes! It was so striking and was standing tall and proud! Nice nice!

I am so sure that im not addicted to coffee. Just addicted to Starbucks and McCafe. Starbucks - all thanks to Deva annae. He practically goes there everyday, buys the same drink, that costs $7, and stays there till rather late! McCafe - just tried their Frappe once and got simple addicted to it! So nice and rich! HMMM... Can i get one now!? PLS!!! Haha. But well, its a expensive-everyday-drink!

Have been rather busy this week. Having a lot of events cropping up out of nowhere and im surprised that i have been managing them pretty well! Haha. But i am sure tired!

Nice name. Sweet Smile. Ever since the first day, the thought has been about u! :)

Finding love, again,

Ragha
