Doctor, doctor!
You know how in kindergarten when there's always that one kid who has to throw up during the national anthem, opting to cry helplessly rather than make a desperate dash to the toilet, that would have saved everyone a whiff of putrid kiddy breakfast ...
Or that weirdo perched silently on the floor next to his/her classmates, ne'er uttering a word till King Pong hits and Teacher makes everyone stand up, only to discover -lo and behold- a perfect little turd smeared on the music room carpet ...
There is, indeed, drama in real life even at that tender age.
Well, tonight I regress and join (note: NOT re-join) the less-than-illustrious ranks of juvenile classroom wimps. Taken hostage by an affliction that is dramatic as it is inconvenient. Whining and moaning as I bury my face in heaps of already speckled tissues, suffering inconsolably from what Ste has curtly declared a garden variety nosebleed. Right before he trotted off to bed.
Is there no compassion in this world?!!

Yeah but unlike me, you believe in reincarnation my dear! In my books, I just disappear in the the Big Blue (or Big Blood, as the case might be).
well if you're blue blood you're divine in some cultures, therefore we're both right
ps hope the bleeding stopped. if not, apply pressure.

Hey kiddo, didnt realise how dramatic your kiddy world was coz you came home looking like you had a jolly good time at school - you know that characteristic "peacock strut" from such a teeny weeny little being! Never forgot that classic story of how your "uncle Freddy" came to pick you from the elite Raffles Primary School and was totally ignored by his little sweet looking niece who refused to board his goods van! Gracious kiddo, have you forgotten how he stomped forward and simply grabbed you by the arm and sat you in the front seat. Ho ho that was so funny when he related the whole episode. Now just dont get on poor Ste who has important issues to handle than a garden variety nosebleed yah! Come on kiddo, are you a toughie, Ice-T or cry baby huh? Come on kiddo, show us some teeth like my Macho! Love you both mum. Hope its onblog.
How sweet... your mum's leaving messages for you on your blog. Now hopefully she'll also have some interesting childhood stories to tell us that would normally remain best kept secrets :)
eh hello aunty..nosebleeds aren't the end of the world la! though i must admit i watched an episode of house where the patient thought all she was suffering from was a nosebleed but..er, ok maybe i shouldn't continue:)
take care of yourself babe, and i hope the bleeding's stopped by the time you read this message.
and a word to aunty (i.e. alicia's mum): can you please write more on the blog, its real nice reading your stories of back then when alicia was a kid:)
... sigh ...
hoho, hope you're all better now :)
Goodness gracious Mom - that's some memory you've got there ... you probably have enough material to start a blog of your own if you'd like!
WAIT! Hang on. Not a good idea. Who knows what else you might come up with ...
