quarantined part 2

i've not done anything very useful yet. was thinking of seeing the doctor but i've procrastinated. thanks partly to friends asking me online about my situation lol.

today, i plan to draw and draw and draw. and maybe i should compose or play the piano once i get inspiration.

quarantined till wednesday only YAY! i *might* be able to retain my relief teaching post. i hope what i'm down with now is not h1n1. i've no fever yet, just slightly heaty - temperature's not above 37.0 degrees. but i feel my eyes burn when i close them, and have that slight disoriented feeling when i shake my head. my nose's slightly blocked - that's normal for me - but the mucus is thicker than usual. hrm.

my body has been holding up pretty well, i think. i've lemon juice, orange peel honey, homemade chrysanthemum tea, green bean water, plain water, and vitamin c pills to thank (:

i hope to complete a couple of sketches by the end of my quarantine. thats only 3.5 more days geez. 

i went to a friend's birthday party last week, and was simply BLOWN AWAY by his mom's paintings. she even won a prize for one of them. oil on canvas. simply marvelous. especially the ones she hung around the house. you would have thought that the paintings were bought. really life-like. for example, the painting of a house and a tree overlooking a body of water - the reflections on the water was drawn so stunningly well! 

and from what i gathered from my chat with her, she's not really formally trained in it. 

omg.

if i could relive my life, i would have joined a sports cca, and practice music and art so damn hard...

... then maybe i won't have the engineering/mugger face!
