Sound of Silence

It's been a long time since the last post. I didn't disappear from this world. I simply lived in another world, a parallel universe for over a month and then one thing leads to another, it took me another month to log on again. Call me the Oracle.

I suffered from minor flu around Changunnie's birthday and didn't really think too much about it. The virus got the better of me and I started to have secondary infection in my sinus. The long and dark journey of taking antibiotics started. I was still blowing brown stuff out from my nose and one day, I lost my balance. I knew that I couldn't have blown my brain out. The colour wasn't right. Grey matter and the inside is white, right? From that day on (around Chinese New Year), my right ear was blocked. I could hear other people clearly but I couldn't hear myself well at all. It was like talking to myself in a fish tank. I talked loudly and got impatient with almost lots of people. I am usually the talkative one but during that one month, talking was painful. The antibiotics plus a bunch of antihistamine was always in my bag and I had to spray my nose with this steroid spray that stinks the membrane of my nose....

Was it all pain no gain? Of course not.

- Selective hearing keeps you sane

- Hearing other people but not yourself is painful. So, ignore them too

- Shouting doesn't mean I am rude

Joking aside, I wish you don't get sinusitis. It was just bloody awful!
