Bullet points

Illusions
  1. We won the Interzone Netball Tournament hence, we’re champions in the whole nation. Hooray for us! My team rocks! (including Coach of course - where would we be without her?)
  2. I twisted my ankle in the finals. That was on Tuesday and after 4 days, it’s still swollen. The swelling’s been appearing and disappearing a little. Right now, it’s bad.. again. What happened was, I somehow landed with my foot either bent inwards or outwards (I can’t remember). The “first-aid” lady asked where the pain was. I couldn’t describe where exactly - it was all around the right ankle. So she put ice on the left side of the ankle. A few hours after getting home, my dad realized that it was swollen on the right side and the left side was blue-black. So iced the right side this time. The pain was intense, too much to walk. So I literally hopped on one foot up the stairs with my hands as support. It was fun really; my parents would have bombarded me seeing me go up the stairs that way.
    The next day, I went to school in shoes - terrible idea. Next day wore slippers with ankle guard. Oh, wearing the ankle guard the first time was strange. It feels unbalanced as one foot has something wrapped around it while the other doesn’t. Yesterday, somehow the left side of the ankle (the iced blue-black part) hurt really badly when I touch it. Then, my dad used ginger and some ointment to massage it. My mum’s friend said massaging isn’t good for sprains though. Anyways, a lot of pain yet again then this morning, the swelling seemed to have gone down. But look, it’s back .. and it’s bad.
  3. I wore slippers to school today and my feet were freezing. So were my fingers. The hall’s air-cond must have been at a very low temperature. One and a half hours for Malay 1 in the cold “weather” probably caused my handwriting to turn uglier towards the end but ya, couldn’t be bothered. Imagine the next 2 and half hours for Maths in crazy chilliness.
  4. So yes, Mock exams have started. I can sense I’m not going to do well - who am I kidding, I’m barely halfway through revision for all the Sciences and seeing that I seem to have the time to sleep so much, blog, surf the net aimlessly, watch TV and Grey’s.. I’m so going to regret all the time I’ve wasted and am wasting. I’m most worried for the sciences - I’m getting more worried by the second thinking about how much I have studied and how much I have left to study. Oh no.. Someone lecture me/knock some sense into me and get me to study or I’m dee-ee-ae-dee .. DEAD. Gah~
  5. I think that’s about all the things I have to say. Goodnight and oh, good luck to those having exams.

And so I’ve said, “I need a break from everything” but till now, I haven’t got it have I? Not that, I’m giving it all to get it though.
With every single little step I take, I add that much to my pile of regrets.
With every thought I have, I add more than needed to my endless list of un-answered questions.

Certain things come and go but they leave imprints on you. They make you think, confuse you, frustrate you and in the end, you’re left bothered, frustrated and without answers; and you have no idea what to do.

Hmm, did you dear reader, purposely highlight these few lines, copied and pasted somewhere to read all these? It’s interesting if you did. Because really, these are my thoughts which I wish to type out but don’t need attention given to them.

    Congrats in the tournament!

    You’re allowed to wear slippers to school? Well we have very strict uniform code here and once, I hurt my feet tripping down a rocky slope in school and couldn’t wear proper shoes so I wore slippers to school. I had to get permission from the senior teachers and when this bitch teacher came around and asked me about it, I showed her the signature I got from the other teachers and she was like, “Gee. You hurt your leg. You’re wearing slippers. How stupid.”

    Well hope your ankle gets better soon and good luck in the exams! Mine are coming up soon too…

    Congrats to your whole team! Wow, that ankle sprain sounds painful, I hope it heals soon. Slippers to school? That sounds kind of fun. Although the cold is unfortunate. Good luck on your exams, I’m sure you’ll do great. Just don’t give up. Try to find some quiet place that has little things in it to avoid distractions. Good luck again!
