I got sent home from school this morning because I was coughing.

Yeah, get this right. I as in Ama, the champion in the ponning school category was forced to go home by the school. As in the school which I love to skip.

I'm telling you man, seriously, something is wrong with the world today. Affirmative.

Hell, you know something is wrong when they sent ME home. On any other days, I'd escort myself out of the school gates with birds chirping in the back ground and swagger like a winner and I be feeling, "Damn, it's good to feel alive again!".

If you still don't get the picture, here is how it is. I can leave school but the school cannot force me home. Nobody forces a ponner home. See how silly that is.

So, this morning, I got sent to this room at the ground floor with some others who were ill and they told me I had to call a cab and they would escort me to the gates. Imagine how I felt. Let me remind you again that I do not like going to school. And now imagine me waking up against my will, drag my feet to take my towel and walk a short 1m to the toilet. And while all this is happening, I have to constantly tell myself, "No Ama, you have to go to school. You'll learn something today. A levels is this year".

And I have to constantly rebut the more logical side of me that says, "Come on. Look at your mom, she is sleeping. The room is still cold. You can study on your own today. Catch up with everything today".

It doesn't help the bed is very inviting. And for someone who always succumbs to the second voice, coming to school is an achievement in itself! So when my CT said I had to go home, I was like, "Oh man, no this is bullshit". It's a waste of shampoo, soap, perfume and a good sleep. Imagine how terrible I felt.

It was like I got played in my own game.

Joel said it would be very funny if I had swine flu cause I'm a Muslim. And that's true, I mean, I don't even pork! Swine flu, swine flu, you so funny.

And just think about this okay. I know all this temperature exercise thing is a good effort to prevent the outbreak here but if you want to win against this flu, you must think like the swine. Those who have swine flu will not have a temperature cause you don't have fever once you have that virus.

So shouldn't the focus be on those below the trigger temperature (37.5) cause those above it probably just have normal fever or have the H1N1 virus and since you already have a temperature, you're probably on your last phase already.

I think they're taking temperature cause there's no other public way to show we are taking steps. It's like we're doing it for the sake of doing it. So funny.

Whatever la, I'm too psyched in the chaos in school every day with the temperature checking to even bother if all this makes sense!
