Humour Me
This is me trying to cheer myself up while I sit here alone…slipping between conscious and unconsciousness.
I must say this must be the best place to CHOW DOWN (pun intended).
At least if I die, I die laughing.
Start eating it with Bismillah
Let Sleeping Dogs Lie

I woke up this morning slightly disorientated. My body feels like it has been hit by a truck. Emma Sams, to whom I relate my condition over YM quickly jested that this wouldn’t be the first time that I have felt like this. Back in 1996, I skydived in Taman Melawati and got hit by a truck…literally..in one of those bizarre things that could happen to a skydiver.
Anyway, despite a good night’s sleep courtesy of a tablet called Lexotan, and an additional tablet of PCM (Bakawali, don’t be angry with me if you think that would have contributed to me being overdosed with relaxant), I woke up to a blood pressure of 126/94 with a pulse of 76. Last night…well, let me talk about when I was with Mahal Ko when she attended a business meeting with me. She conducted herself very well during the meeting and am very proud of her. No interjections, nothing, and gave her opinions when asked for. Well, she’s a professional. Anyway, she helped me check my BP and it was down to 127/77. VERY NORMAL for a person of my age and I was happy thinking I had licked this hypertensive streak. Bakawali is right. I need my infusion of Mahal Ko on a daily basis. She calms me down.
The problem only began when I got home last night. To my wife, I know you are reading this and so I am going to write about this anyway. No thank you for your sarcasms and taunts, and yes, when I was inside the toilet I heard you were the one who said, “Ayah dah mati” to Farhan. Otherwise, Farhan himself could not have come out with such suggestive remarks. After all that was what you told Alim about his father when his father is still alive. And when you asked me to sleep on the floor, that was the greatest insult any wife could give to the husband.
Therefore, no thanks to you also, my wife, my blood pressure immediately shot up to 164/101, and after relaxing for 10 minutes, 152/100. I could not lift my chin up because I felt like my neck was going to break into two halves as I walked to get the Lexotan. I thought I wouldn’t need it, but I had to take it. After almost an hour, with no relief felt, I took PCM 250mg. Less than an hour later I was out cold.
Thus, this sleeping dog lay…on its own bed.
