hey sylvia, happy belated birthday again. many happy returns to u!!
i still have not finished marking the exam papers. left with section c. and as everyone knows, section c puts the itch in bitch of an exam. sigh. i hate reading untidy handwriting. why cant pple write nicely anymore?? i shouldnt say much abt bad penmanship cuz the fiance's handwriting is unintelligible, u think he's writing in sanskrit or some god-forgotten language.
last night, i had that terrible stomach discomfort/cramps (?) again. sigh. it always happens at night right before bed. grudgingly i went to my mom to ask for help. like i predicted she told me to take off my belly stud. she explained that it is found in some surah in the Quran or hadith that when a muslim corpse has to be kept overnight, they would put a scissors on the belly button. this is to prevent air from entering the corpse and slow down the process of decomposing.
YIKES!
i didnt know abt this. i thought she was bull-shitting me until i verified the info with another aunt.
so my mom's theory was that my stomach cramps were due to the air could enter or escape my tummy due to the 'metal' on my belly that comes in the form of the stud.
but, but, i'm not dead yet.
if this is story cooked up by my mom, she sure had me spooked. i am not too sure abt this. maybe u guys can ask your moms or grandmas.
btw, thank u so much to Za for jalan-jalan cari barang-barang untuk dulang-dulang (so many kata ganda!!) on saturday afternoon! i had fun!!
off to do more work. *screaming: I MISS MY BABY!!~* ok. gd to release some steam. (not the sexual kind, jade :P)
