I'm eaten alive by little monsters
My summer vacation is just around the corner...only 3 more days to go, yippeeee!! Vacationing in Malaysia and going on a shopping spree in Hong Kong, yay!!I miss blogging so much but as it was the last weeks of school, I had a hectic schedule and was dead beat when I got home. It is now much mellower at work as the kids are gone. I thought I would be jumping for joy working in an empty school as my toes would not be stepped on and my workplace would finally be nice and quiet. But hell no!! I felt a feeling of complete isolation once I entered the school on Monday - no more chaos in the hallway, no more screaming in the playground, no more kiddo's getting in and out of the office. Oh I miss those little buggers who always brought loads of energy and joy (and noise) into the office...
As I now have some free time, I have been surfing on the net for information of Kota Kinabalu (KK). Someone said it somewhere KK is a "mosquito's paradise". Nooooooo!! Please tell me it's not true!! Please tell me mosquitoes/mozzies/mossies are not allowed in our 5-star spa resort!! I hate mosquitoes but unfortunately these freaking insects love me (or my sweet blood). How much love are we talking about?? Let's see. I had six mosquito bites that almost formed an hexagonal pattern on my butt two weeks ago after I had sunned myself at our balcony during weekend (have I mentioned we painted our balcony rusty orange??). And now three mosquito bites have "integrated" into this nasty big bump on my arm.
I woke this morning scratching the big bump and couldn't go back to sleep hearing the mosquitoes buzzing. We did not open the door or window in the bedroom, where the heck did the mosquitoes come from?! I am desperate to find some anti-mosquito stuff as I can't stand finding new mosquito bite(s) every morning!! And does anyone know of any remedies for mosquito bites?? I have tried ice, toothpaste, soap, and baking soda paste but none of them works!! In other words, it's bloody itching and swollen!! @#$%&?!!

My man came home with a broad smile on his face tonight, that I-have-a-surprise-for-you face. I was all excited guessing what the surprise was. Chocolate?? Flowers?? Jewelry?? He showed me the surprise and said, "Hope this would give you a good night of sleep." What he gave me?? MOSQUITO REPELLENT!! (My reaction: Errr...)
Don't get me wrong, I did appreciate my man's nice thoughts and great intentions. But...it just doesn't feel right putting on mosquito repellent before going to sleep. It's supposed to be for when you are outdoors, no?? Ummm.

What about mosquito net? I have got a hot tip for you - make certain 'no' mosquito is inside the net or you are a living buffet for the bugs. Luck.
