Got back, and slept thru the afternoon. I had no idea I was that tired until I got into the Pg-S'pore plane and fell asleep moments after the plane was as high as it's supposed to be. I normally don't fall asleep when I get to see the whole of Penang because really, how often do you get to see that awesome little island from up high? I slept right through that flight and woke up just for the snack that was served. Then, got onto the S'pore-Sydney with plans of watching a few movies. But was so tired, I watched only one and slept for the rest of the journey, waking up for meals and leg stretching only. And, I was fast asleep even when the plane was landing only to realised I've landed when it felt bumpy.
Surprise, surprise, I did not cry at the airport, much to my surprise. I think I was too tired I didn't think of anything when I hugged everyone. And funny how, last year, somewhere around June-July when I was thinking of the day I have to leave Penang again in Feb'09, I already teared and actually cried. LOL I tried to think so I could cry when I was on the plane but I failed. I supposed, I was feeling quite optimistic then? But I'm reminded of how much I cried when mum left for Penang in May '08 when she came, and that's probably how she's feeling when she was at the airport and when she got home. Hmm.
Penang had been so much fun. I do miss everyone back home already.
I had to go visit a doctor today because I discovered 7 dark red spots on my chin in the plane. And I told mum and she got all worried it might be shingles. So off I went, and the doctor suspected I may be hemorrhaging and he mentioned something along the lines of coagulation + platelets + yada yada yada [sorry I gave all my Biology knowledge back ever since er..3rd/4th December 2006] and so sent me for a blood test. This time, I saw 6 tubes of my blood. Hmm. Even if taking that amount of bloody isn't enough to make me feel sick, I think, the thought of it, makes me feel weak already. There goes my gym plan :).
Then got back, and watched Princess Returning Pearl :). Shh, I don't think many people know of this yet. lol I love that series. hahaha. And then there was this part where the king fed the princess with some soup which is supposedly medicine. And I couldn't help but cry.
I can't wait for the day when my parents will be in such close proximity to me, and at the same time, me not having to worry that I'd be leaving them soon, or they'd be leaving me.
Oh, I'm starting again. lol
Anyhow, one advice mum gave before I left her last year. The one I've tried to avoid giving much thought to. The one I know will help me through the toughest of times and the one which will benefit all of you too.
She said, "Never give yourself the luxury to indulge in self pity."
Alright then, I start work tomorrow and should sleep early. But before that, I need to pick what to wear. :)
