Two days ago, I received an e-mail from Eve which made me very sad. She has been diagnosed of having lupus, an autoimmune (means the immune system fights the body itself instead of protecting it) disease in which the immune system becomes hyperactive and attacks normal tissues. Last August, her mother passed away, due to lupus. So, it could be hereditary in Eve's case. A few years ago, a young cousin of mine (in her 20's) also passed on due to this illness. Up until now, there is no cure for lupus, only treatment. But still..... Nope, I wasn't in tears when I received Eve's e-mail. Instead, I think I was in denial for half a day. I was in a daze. I was confused about my own emotions. I wasn't sure if I was was sad, upset or angry. My spirits were dampened... The tears only came in the evening as I was talking to my mom over the phone about Eve... I didn't know what happened then... That was two days ago, 5th March.
Yesterday, 6th March, a few minutes before noon, I suddenly felt that my chair was shaking. I looked at the arm-rest, gosh, it was shaking too! But when I tried to see if my colleague felt what I felt, she didn't turn to me at all, she was working very hard on the computer. A lot of things came to mind at that time, and right after that, I felt giddy. So, I asked her if she felt anything. She said she did. Alamak... so, I wasn't hallucinating or dreaming. I even thought that maybe there was a big lorry/trailer passing by the building.
The tremor was due to an earthquake that hit Sumatra. And I felt the tremor again a few minutes before 2pm. This time, I knew it wasn't X-Files related... And the finale... You know, for the past few days, everyday also I kena tagged! Gosh... I told a few of them that I think I'm gonna be spending my "blogging life" answering tags! I think I have about 5-6 tags to do! Very FKK! BUT, I suppose tagging is loving... so, to reciprocate, I'll answer the tags.
