the flubug's hopping round and everyone's coughing and getting the sniffles... thank God for tissue companies that invent new ways of making new types of tissue paper.. KLEENEX SILK TOUCH! omg hahahah. i dont know if you all had this experience but when u have a runny nose and keep wiping your nose with the tissue, it starts to hurt after a while BUT GUESS WHAT! KLEENEX SILK TOUCH DOESNT! HAHAHA COOLNESS MANZZZ im so happy with my tissues right now :D
yesterday was quite eventful.. made french toast for brunch at sylvia's, groc shopping at karrawarra, went to the OT clinic with mui2, went to hannah's auntie's house for dinner and watched SMAG's musical- The Boyfriend. i think it's the best production by SMAGS so far! and the french accent was so cute and convincing! over dinner, hannah's lil cousin, dale, was checking out his new glasses and it was completely hilarious. a whole half an hour, he was putting on his glasses and taking them off and kept saying how amazing that everything's so clear. i miss small conversations like that round the dinner table.. reminiscing bout first day at school, crying in class.. haha.
watched a vid in class today. it was an old interview with a young guy who has schizophrenia. one thing that i remembered most was when he mentioned he was walking/driving one day and started having a panic attack and didnt know where he was, what he was doing.. feeling lost and confused.. then he saw a policeman in a police car (trustworthy in his opinion.. because with schizophrenia, sometimes they start getting paranoid that everyone's against them) and he went to him for help: "excuse me sir, im having a panic attack, i dont know where i am, could you help me please" but all the police said was "you've got to sober up son, get your act together" or smth along those lines.. then he wandered around a neighbourhood and decided to enter a house. knocked on the door, woman answered the door, steve explained his case again "excuse me mdm, i don't mean to scare you but im having a panic attack, could you please help me and calm me down? or give me a glass of water?" and the woman did so and managed to calm him down. isnt this just like the good samaritan? i used to think it was easy or common sense even, to offer help to those who need it.. but what are the chances of me opening the door to a victim of a panic attack randomly, especially when you've grown up being told not to talk to strangers/let strangers into your house in case they turn out to be murderers or whatever.. which one would you choose to be?
