last Sunday was fathers' day..and i should be spending some happy times with my dad, eating some nice dinner or something..but too bad..he came down with tonsillitis...(the inflamation of the tonsils..due to some bacteria) because its a viral infection, it causes fever, joint pain, muscle ache and tiredness.... so...the whole day was spoilt..and hes still sick up till now... i wonder how is he managing to work with so much sickness....(he refuses to take mc...say got important things to do....) and so..im still waiting for the day he gets well so we could have dinner somewhere..any suggestions of nice places around KL??
i also realised one thing i gotta learn..its the art of comforting ppl. i never quite know what to say when ppl are sick, stressed, tired or confused.. and ill just listen, i try to say something..but it isnt always helpful.. its easier to say 'dun worry'..but realistically, if the problem dun go away, the worries persist.. its easy to say 'take care, rest more' when ppl are sick, but in reality, they gotta work, study, meet ppl..and if those are not done, that means no rest for them. its easy to say 'leave it to God..just do ur best' when ppl are tired...but ppl wont sit there and do nth if things arent good enaf...and the worse is...never never say 'Its OK'....cos to them..its never ok.. thats y theyre worried.. so.. im always stuck when ppl tell me their probs... and worse of all.. i cannot stand ppl crying... and i get tensed and even more speechless..
anybody can helpme in that??

well first of all i hope ur dad will get well soon. Well, ur dad is a very responsible guy, so definately he'll try to finish his job in any circumstances. as for dinner, dun ask me coz my parents hate me to bring them to some fancy restaurants, always blame me for wasting unnecessary money.
Actually there's nth much u can do when someone's down, sad, blablabla...being a listener actually helps alot. When i had my problems last time, all i need is someone to listen. But one thing i can say, why not try turning the situation around. Now ur the one havin problems, and think what actually you want from others?? then u'll roughly know how to comfort other ppl. But of course its different for each individual and for different situation.
Haha, i sound like a pro but no la i was just crapping alot.
