I just wanna be OK

The last couple of mornings were really foggy, as if the smoke machines were in overdrive. Well, i guess thats the English Autumn for you. So much for that, the school nurse told me that it's pretty common to get Tonsillitis at this time of the year. Thanks a lot. It's worse than all the sore throats I've gotten in the last 21 years of my life.

It sucks being sick, when youre all alone overseas and the weather is cold. I was drifting in and out of consciousness on Thursday due of my fatigue and my fever. Yet I had to wake up every 2 hours because of the pain and also because i needed to boil some hot water to drink. I couldnt eat anything much because it hurt when i opened my mouth. Swallowing hurts. My throat was swollen, it was throbbing like it had a life of its own and my right ear ached as well.

So i finally dragged my ass to see the nurse on friday and now i hope i wont OD on penicillin & paracetamol. I hate taking pills. My saliva tastes like paracetamol and my pee smells of that as well. In fact, it got so bad, i was gagging while making breakfast this morning. Although I had an empty stomach, i managed to throw up some weird brown streaky bits and then some yellow streaky bits. I have no idea what they were. Anyhow, i forced myself to stomach some porridge and then went to bed. I'm feeling human now, hence I've decided to rejoin the world for a while.

I've wanted to post these pics. But I've been sick since then. So...

Convent Garden.
Its a lovely stretch of shopping street.
I met Rachel & Tom.
And i finally had a taste of some English Pub food.
I had the Sunday Roast.
Nevermind that it was on a tuesday.
It was good.

Yeah, it was jason mraz's concert that night.
The Royal Albert Hall.
It does look very posh and majestic.

Check out the INSIDE.
I think its gorgeous.
The sound is amazing as well.

Ingrid Michaelson opened the show for Mraz,
And I'm a brand new fan.
I love her sultry buttery voice and her catchy songs.

The show started for Jason at about 8.30pm and it went on & on until 10.20pm.
I think its meant for all the good english people whom he owed a show to.
He played all the good hits and lotsa new materials from the current album.

Only Jason can make the entire audience get up on their feet
& dance with him.
I was afraid the hall might collapse.
I felt a wee bit lonely since i went alone,
But i suppose it was all worth it.
Even when i missed the last bus home from the guildford train station.
