This morning I woke up later than usual. Why? I am still nursing a flu. Thank God I do not have a temperature, otherwise I will have to report to government hospital for H1N1 test.

My flu is clearing up. I’m happy and can’t wait to get back to my old self. I still eat like normal. Some how my appetite is not affected.

Back to the story of waking up late. My mother told me I shouldn’t sleep so late on weekdays. OK, I was out for a drink with my bf but I came back at 11.10pm. Slept at 12am maybe because I was reading.

I want to tell my dear mummy her daughter never gets to wake up late, not even on weekends. Does she realise what she said hurt my feelings? Most people gets to sleep in on weekends, but I have to help my mother with her classes which starts at 9am on Saturday. Every Sunday, I go to the market with my mother before 9am. So when do I get to stay in bed longer?

Does it mean I cannot go out every night? I cannot spend time with who I want to be with? Everyday I work and work. I am tired and I need my sleep. Waking up late is no big deal when I had been waking up without fail everyday for years. I was not even late to work this morning.

This is why I feel that I will get some kind of sickness one day because I have to work so much. Nobody works like I do mom and I am doing this for you also. Please remember this.
