I may get into the habit of writing the date before each post, if I remember.

Remember the sore throat which I mentioned a few times in the previous posts. Well, I went to see the doctor this morning & he said that I have tonsilitis. That is, the inflammation of the throat/ tonsil. So it hurts like crap. But, unlike most cases, I don't have fever. Ha! I knew I was special, in some way.

When the doctor looked into my throat, he said, "Tsk tsk. My, my." Then he said that my tonsils are very swollen. Scare me, I though I was going to die. Really. I'm scheduled for a flu vaccine after I recover so I will be immune to the flu especially since I'm going so far away.

My aunt picked up some of those super expensive Hollywood gossip magazine that costs like $10 per magazine. Crazily expensive. So now I can keep myself occupied without going online.

Yesterday, we had the Russia trip briefing & it sounded very scary. The food seems nice though. Although alot is sour cos they use sour cream, vinegar & pickles in their cooking. The desserts look niceeeee. The souveniers there looks really interesting. I'm gonna buy lots & lots & lots cos I don't know if I will ever have the chance to go there again.

I hope that I will recover from this tonsilitis fast. At least a week before going Russia.
