Sammie says...

1. Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

2. Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

3. Nothing:This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end with "fine!"

4. Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!

5. Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)

6. That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

7. Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome' . that will bring on a 'whatever').

8. Whatever: Is a woman's way of saying F--YOU!

9. Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to # 3, then follow by #5, #6, and finally #8.

Quarantine Day 8.

Miss Measles make me a caveman now. There is nothing much I can do in the cave for the past whole week. I read some books, self-help, fictions, love story, discovery mag, name it. I try to write, crap to the most of it, I actually wanted to write something more interesting and deep, but my vocabulary fail me. That really got me mad. And obviously Internet slave like me will make sure I stay online all the time, kind of make me feel connected to the world you know?

Thanks to Measles, my emotions got affected pretty badly. Loneliness is the best punishment for people like me. It's a different lifestyle I have to live with during this quarantine period that totally clash with my personality. Some kind of Circumstanced Interactive Disorder (CID), syndromes are insomnia, paranoid, anxious, and so on. I name that myself, sound pretty bad eh? Plus, I am having a hard time with "Zero V Contact Campaign", that really left me no space to breath.

You know when you are sick down the drain, your true friend shows. I see those who never turn away from me, and I see some people intimated me to stay away from them and gave me that kind of look, as if I am zombie. Very interesting yet irony. By the way, since I got all the time in the world, I get to spend more time with God. I have a lot to ask and to pray about. Now is the best time because there is nothing much now can get me distracted.

When Measles leave me, I have to make some changes in my life, is a lot of planning I talking about... I need to get my life right, that's what I know so far.

Yea, so watch me.

Quarantine Day 7.

I made a new friend last week. Well, not exactly a friend. At my first glance, I was already impressed, I had never seen anyone like her in my life before. She came in loud, but I pretended to be cool. Aggressive is the word, she broke the ice soon after we met. I wasn't really keen on that because she came uninvited. But obviously, my cold attitude didn't work on her. In fact, she tried even harder. Because I could felt her breath as she came closer to my ears and whispered. She came prepared, she knows that's my most sensitive part. She wants me, I felt it. My heart was beating fast and my body got heated up like a hot iron rot, this is something really strange to me. I mean, normally girls come to me and say "Haha, you are funny man" and they took off, no one does this to me before. I was curious, I couldn't stop her, maybe I didn't even try stopping her, so the attack goes on. She started the trick from my face, then slowly moved lower and lower... and lower. When I looked into the mirror, I saw thousands of red mark was already planted all over my body, from head to toe. That was quick!

"Are those love bites? Is that what they call it?" I pondered.

Oh the burning sensation, like a nuke just exploded in me. That was really a breathtaking experience. As time was ticking away, no words was spoken between us. The heat soon affected my head, it feels like a fever. I thought she must be immortal, because there is no girl on earth would do anything like this, at least not that I known of. Then for no reason, she finally left me alone after my shower... but just for a while.

The aftertaste lit up the flame in my heart. It still feels like fever, my head started aching, but I was unsure. I tried to be conscious after 3 big gulps of ice cold water, then I realised I didn't get her name. Honestly, I don't feel good after what just happened. I felt insecure. God knows what kind of deceases she was carrying. I decided to find out who she really is, a name at least. I mean with those remarkable marks she left on my body, I believe she is traceable. Besides, with her skills and capability, I don't think I am her first target in town. Someone must have met her somewhere before. I don't know.

There are few people I know in town might be able to help. Straight I went to Mr. Chin, he is always my first choice when it comes to this kind of thing. I mean with his status and experiences in town, he probably can provide me some kind of information that I needed. Without disappointment, after several examination was done, he said this confidently...

"Lucky man, I believe you had just met Measles"

Is it okay if I left the soap on my face overnight? I heard they can burn fats though.

Wake up call.

11.35 am. Dad called and got me up from sleeping.

"Did you read news paper today?"
"No? Why?"
"I will not allow you go diving anymore, you hear me? People died in Phuket and some is not even found yet."
"Ya dad, but people die here and there everyday. You called just to say this?"
"Ya, I don't care, you are not diving anymore. Okay bye!"
"......."

I don't even plan to dive anytime soon, this is totally random. Can anyone just agree with me that my dad is cute? Why chinese family always have so much to worry? Now I feel chained, just because I am the only son.
