ok. this morning is ABSOLUTELY the worst morning in my holiday. i wouldnt even be exaggerating to say it's the worst in my life.

yesterday i couldnt sleep due to this persistent itchiness & this morning, this beauuuutiful morning, i woke up to find swells all over my body. swells which look like mosquito bites, except that these swells are HUGE & they cover most part of my leg, my arms, & a bit on my stomach & back. i suspect they look like that because i had been scratching them nonstop since yesterday midnight.

ARGH! (i'm dying to SCRATCH.)

my good maid, who seems to be experienced in these kinds of itch-related symptoms, smeared this funny smelling oil all over my arms & legs. and said that i shouldnt let them come into contact with water, nor should i sleep in aircon room. now HOW ON EARTH do you sleep in a non aircon room???? & she suggested that i wear long pants & long-sleeved shirt & lie on my bed, wrap myself with a blanket & the swells will go away.

which i did.

just that i'm sitting in front of the computer screen. not on my bed. at 6 AM in the morning.

so here i am, wearing long pants & long shirt looking as though it's winter in bali, wrapped in a white blanket looking like a ghost, smelling of medicated oil (euwwwwww...), trying my darnest not to scratch. and awake. all that at this ungodly hour of six am in the morning.

oh yes. life is just beautiful.
