Visit to Granny's went wrong...

I didn't sleep well on last night...so I refused to get off the bed till almost 12 noon.  I woke up fine, washed up & then watched Zee TV till 2pm.  By then, migraine was slowly coming.  After 'Kareena Kareena' (repeat telecast of my fave comedy serial on Zee TV last yr) ended @ 2pm, I went to shower.  By then the boys (Dad & Bro) came back from Friday prayers & while Mom served Dad lunch, I got ready.  As soon as I was ready, it started pouring (sigh)!  We waited arnd for abt 1/2hr till I decided there's no pt waiting & thus I used an umbrella (Wow! Umbrella & I...umbrella must be so delighted!!!!) to go to the car & drove to under a shelther to fetch Mom.  Then, zoom we went to Granny's place. 

Funny thing, it wasn't raining in Bedok!!  My Mak Besar (Mom's eldest Sis) wasn't home.  Only Granny, my cuz Nizam & Mak Ani's (my youngest & fave aunt) kids Iman & Nabil were arnd. 

Granny juz came back from dialysis so she wasn't feeling too well (no appetite etc), so I told we'll sit in the living room instead of the kitchen as it'll be more comfortable for her...plus the kids were in there.  I had a gr8 time playing wif the boys... Nabil esp has always been a handful; He's so hyper-active & hav a high threshold for pain (the tip of his left middle finger almost severed when his fingers got shut by a slammed door last yr, yet his naughtiness isn't reduced!!)!  Oh btw, he juz turned 3 on Mon 8 May (Alhamdulillah)!  It wasn't easy to make him don this clown hat, instead he made me put it on!  His older bro, Iman (7) used 2b my darling (I was his "galfren")...but after going to Nursery, he changed; Naughty, stubborn, ya-ya, arrogant etc.  So we kinda drifted apart.  But he still enjoys my co. coz he sees me as a wonderful playmate!   BUT, I'm always fighting wif him for something or the other.  Today, I was fighting with him over that cute lil doll on his lap - Master Bob!!  It's got Shahrukh's kinda beary hair!  Cute na?!  I was so fascinated by the thick hair that I started showing my hairstyling talent (ahem!).  I was trying 1 hairstyle after another & Iman kept snatching it from me & re-doing the hair to original. After a while, I got irritated with him & while he was engrossed playing something else...I practised my hairstyle skills & snapped some shots to preserve.

After that...Nabil's mischief got a lil unbearable, he starting jumping abt, stomping his feet...b4 I realise it, my migraine got worse til I had to ask Mom for panadol.  Granny's been pestering me to make a drink for myself (my routine, I always tell my Mak Besar & Granny not to worry abt us...I'll make myself @ home...I usually will make my own drink, Milo, whenever I'm there).  By the time I took the panadol, I knew that there's no way I'll be able to have anything.  I realise I was in deep trouble; Now who's gonna drive!?  I tried to lie down to rest (next to Nabil when he put Master Bob to sleep next to him)...but oh well, Nabil cld only keep still for 1 min!!!  I wanted to go back but my cuz Nizam told us to hang on as his mom, was on the way back (oh, I 4got to mention, they've actually gone to Nizam's gf's hse to fix their wedding for this Dec)...so I told mom "ok la, let's wait for them".  I decided to borrow Granny's room to lie down in peace.  I was there for abt 1/2hr...then mom came telling me to let's go home...I told her to wait for Mak Besar, not very nice, ppl rushing back for us & we leave.  I somehow cld sense that Mom's not happy...so that kinda added on to my migraine. 

It was raining earlier, so we waited, but I realised that we really shld head home now that it's stopped raining...so I went out of the room & signaled to mom to go home.  I know Granny wasn't happy coz I didn't drink anything & Mak Besar was also almost reaching already...but I told her I can't tahan already & if the migraine gets worst or the panadol sets in, I'll get drowsy & won't be able to drive.  So they let us go, half-heartedly.

It was a terrible mistake!!  The moment I drove out of the carpark, I was starting to feel nauseous.  I asked Mom if she had a spare plastic bag.  The moment she took it out, I put on the hazard light, stopped the car by the kerbside, grabbed the plastic bag & threw up!!!!  So much that the plastic wasn't enough...so I told her to stay in the car, I got out & continued vomitting next to a tree on the kerbside.  My whole lunch (lontong) came out...after I felt btr, I opened the trunk & took out the water bottle & cleaned myself up, got in the car, turn off the aircon & wound down the window.  I think my mistake was that I had turned on the aircon (not advisable in a car if u're unwell)!!  Hmmm... anyways...dunno how I did it...but we reached home safe & sound anyways!!  On the way, Mom confessed that even she was having a splitting headache... that's y she came into the room to ask me to go back.  Sigh!!  The thing abt me is I don't like ppl beating abt the bush...I value honesty!!!  If she had told me clearly the reason, I'd have obliged...but she was coming up with excuses like "let's go home, u'll fall asleep if u lie down, etc etc"...I'm quite sick of her always shifting the blame on me instead of admitting her own weakness.  Guess, she'll nvr change.  Gd thing is, she wanted to go to Expo after visiting Granny, but since both were down, the Expo plan was shelved as we both wanted to juz head straight home!  I came back home...headed for the shower straight...vomitting II took place...after that I massaged myself with axe-oil & slept for 4.5hrs (5.30-10pm).

So this has been Vesak Day 2006 for me.  Tomorrow's gonna be a long day @ Khala's hse...Sun will be my facial/laser appt & then it's work agn on Mon...Life goes on...jeena isi ka naam hai!
