Excellent party last night - everything you can hope for - shameless flirting, delicious fruit punch, MINGLING! (yes!!), card games, gossip, jokes, picture taking.

The key ingredients to a good party are 1. good music 2. guys 3. potato crisps

And no.3 is the reason why more than one person will wake up with an earth shattering sore throat and hacking cough this morning. I am dizzy and weak with a cough, and PHLEGM! Oh gawd. I love phlegm. Bit sticky though!

One thing I've learnt. Never ever suggest that someone do volunteer work unless you are Mother Teresa reincarnate. The consequences are excruciatingly painful. Trust me, when that person asks 'do you do it too?', you are gonna have one hell of a time thinking of a reply. So never, ever be that stupid.

I'm falling sick, I have that constricted feeling at the back of my throat. This happened last Christmas too. And I have only bought 3 presents so far because I am totally out of ideas. Too picky, that's another problem as well.

Oh if only I didn't have a sore throat. I have the shopaholic series in my possession and the only way the experience would be complete is if I could chomp my way through the 5 Mars bars in the kitchen while reading in bed. Wretched, wretched germs.

When one thing goes wrong, there is the tendency to let everything else get to me as well.

Like now.

I get crabby, and it multiplies and eats me up. Over and over again.

I don't know if I should despise the people around me or myself. I just wish life could be easier.

So whoever's listening, please stop making it so hard for me.
