Fallin, In This Fortress of My Own

In case you haven't gathered, exams are finally over. Hoorah!

Been feeling like I'm on the verge of falling ill ever since Monday. It's really like clockwork, the way my body operates. Without fail, my immune system seems to take a turn for the worse whenever Chinese New Year or my Birthday approaches.

EVERY

SINGLE

YEAR

Yeah, but managed to fend off this year's evil batch of ill willing germs/virus with paracetemols, vitamin C pills and guzzling water like a camel gone mad. Haha. Felt alot better too after I went to the gym to do some jogging and cycling yesterday, just to sweat the toxins out of my system.

Isn't it weird how my body goes weak specifically at my birthday and CNY.. I wonder why.

Going off on a tangent, I've always had to try to be strong. As the eldest son, brother, grandson. You just seem to have to mature faster and look out for the young un' in the family (namely my sister). It's not a chore, but more like a responsibility. Through the years, however, one wonders if there will ever be another whom you can be "weak" with. Will I even ever allow myself to go soft for a moment?

Grab a machine gun and shoot these defenses down, I don't want to stand alone inside this hill fort anymore.

That was a happy post. And you better believe it! :P
