Finally, I got sick. It was not a nice
experience, because I got flu and stomach problem, I felt a little bit
nauseous. So I called my work placement, Adsum House that I cannot go to work
today, because I am feeling not fit. Cassie, the volunteer that answered my
phone call said “Get well soon”. That’s the first time I’ve heard a native
speaker said get well soon to me. Quiet nice. Lol.
I took a long nap that day, and waken up
with a quiet nice feeling. So I cleaned my room, and do laundry. That is why I
like sick days, because I will have a quality time with myself, and a quality
time to clean or fix everything.
I had a delicious dinner that evening,
it was Penne with boiled carrots, and grilled chicken. Yen and I talked for a
moment, she asked me about my condition, and so is my host mother and my host
father, they also concerned about my condition. It felt warm, and close like
home. Before I go to bed, Evelyn (my host mum) knocked my room and entered to
look for James’s cloth and that was the first time she saw me without my hijab.
She was worried a little bit, whether it is proper or not to see me without my
hijab, and I said it is OK, so she smiled and said, “You look cute without
hijab”.
I set my alarm earlier, because I
planned to fast tomorrow. A day of fasting before Eid Mubarak, Eid Adha. Then I
go to sleep, hopefully the alarm will wake me up.
