Meh.

In all honesty, the only thing I wanted to blog about was my little job at the Motherhood Fair last week. But, pfft, I came down with a cold right after that, and all I can think about is the bad throat and oncoming cough and runny nose, and no phlegm cough pleaasse pleeease no phlegm cough. Yeahhh...

Here's what I wrote first:

"Every experience is valuable to my life.

Being at the Motherhood Fair was a great experience! A sales assistant job was never my cup of tea, but that was because I didn't think I was willing to promote stuff that I probably don't want customers to buy anyway. Hah! But this time, it was clothes that serve a wonderful purpose, plus they were of great quality and pretty designs!

Though tiring, standing all day long and smiling and serving customers, it was really fun! I just had to write something about it. Now, despite being far off from being a mother, I can show you how to use those cool nursing tops! hah! To top it off, the people I worked with, the boss and her sis, are lovely people to be with. Go the Milky Way, what a catchy name. Check it out here. BCBA-ers, see if you can spot Agi!

Being at the Motherhood Fair was also probably the only time I met so many pregnant ladies in one huge room. I know, duh Motherhood Fair, but y'know, it's just overwhelming. You've gotta remember to be extra gentle when squeezing through the crowds.

Somehow, I really enjoyed meeting all those pregnant mums. It's like each of them is carrying a miracle, and they are caring for and protecting an unborn child. Somehow, ladies can't be all that bad when they are carrying another life within them.

Call me cynical but I usually expect strangers to be mean and rude and selfish, every-man-for-himself kinda attitude. So I'm always appreciative of times when people turn out to be really nice. Like our booth neighbours! It was really enjoyable, we had alot of laughs."

So anyway, I don't know if I'll be more miserable tomorrow, somehow I always get worse when I sleep. They say we should sleep more, for the body to heal and fight the virus; I seem to lose to the virus when I sleep. Darn. Well, the throat's definitely less scratchy, don't know about the cough though. Oncoming or going, can't really tell. No phlegm please nooooo. But definitely congested in my nose. Even getting blocked ears... I wonder if I drank too much water, I've been downing water the whole day, for days. I wonder if you can get water retention in, er, eustachian tubes. hah.

OH some brief googling uncovers something that challenges the drink-more-fluids-when-you-have-a-cold advice. Not good.

On a totally different note, I said yes to trying for a certain job. It actually seems like one of those risky options, which I kinda vowed before never to take up because look where it got me. So I'm really going by faith here. Gonna trust that God will see me through.

For now, I pray I can fall asleep with cleared nasal airways, and please please get rid of the virus.
