the day is settling into evening now. dark clouds starting to bruise the yellow tinted sky. golden streaks lining the cracks in the clouds. leaves are starting to grow on the skeletal trees outside my window. bunches, here and there. blooming into gentle orangey red and green. i'll post pictures up soon. it's nice to see the trees gradually growing back their former glory. before they were brazenly shaven under the noonday sun. i was there to witness it. you could mistaken the screaming of the giant razor to be that of the trees. it was a real headache inducing sound.

listening to the rustling of the leaves. watching the palm trees dance with the passing breeze. it comforts me. especially after having a horrible episode of non-stop puking yesterday. i still feel a bit of the nausea. damn this stomach bug. bending over the dustbin, shifting my position from the toilet, to the room, then to the living room; i swear if i didn't stop vomiting after the fifth time, i would have collapsed into a lifeless heap on the floor. wouldn't do my mom any good. she was changing the plastic bags in the dustbin for me after every puking frenzy. God bless her. i didn't realise how comforting her touch would be when she steadied me with her hand on my forehead. but that's all over now. i hope. the worst thing about every puking episode was that, i was so worried i'll choke and die on my own puke. it's like, you're barfing, and half way, you find you don't have enough oxygen left. you try to breathe. but the barf is clogging up your throat, spilling out of your nostrils. so, you have to resort to swallowing your own puke, so you can take a breather. sick, i know.

anyway. enough about barfing. i don't wanna barf out my dinner later. i've been waiting to eat since morning. so cheerios, while i prepare the dustbin by the dinner table. just in case:)
