Ear me out!

@ cab 9:30 am

"Changi business park"
"Sir , where to go ?"
(without listening ) "yes please"
"sir, where to go"
"huh ?!"... (in louder voice) “Changi business park" (oops it sounds like playing saxophone, even worse played by stomach upset man!)
"sir, wheeeerree to goooo" ? ( i am not able to hear too! His voice so feeble, like that of 'bee' in Bee Movie)
using all the energy in empty stomach "CHANGI ....BUSINESS.... PARK"
He shook his head and started, thank god he got it, or did he notice my ID card and assumed it? I never know

What’s this noise?.. no its not coming from the cab.. it goes "hmmm" like from National television when the usual telecast is over.
He turned around for directions. I managed to smile and showed him right / left or straight.

I stepped out and couldn’t hear anything,

The water sound from fountain
The construction happening down the road
The birds chirping
I can’t even hear the voice in my head. What the heck!!!@#@
May be I am still drowsy, a coffee would do


@ Office
"Good morning Hari"
"huh did you ask me something?!!

@ The food court 12:30 pm
"Uncle 4 chapatti and curry to go please"
"Yes your order sir?”

@ Mobile

"hello Sri"

"hello..." (in 1/4 portion of actual voice)

"Sri ?!"

"Yes hello" (still the same)

"Sorry wrong number"

So I avoided calls and responded in text. Somehow managed the day with smile, head shake and animated hands.

I was cool outside but inside ... like the heroin of Titanic I was screaming inside . However neither I could scream or hear the scream properly . And its not even in the same pin code as scream, you may call it a hush or whisper.

@ My room

May be its jus a ......there you go , aah... i think i got it... lets take out and see
Oops its jus the stick, "what the hell happen to the bud on it ?" did i dropped it?
After about 20 mins of search with broom, I realised it should be safe in one place, my ears!!

I booked an appointment and went to see Dy (yes you got it right this time: P).

After careful analysis of my ears and my nose(!)

Dy: You "ADENOIDS"
Me: Adiddas?
Dy: ADENOIDS - its small baby tissue inside the nose. Its common with children, when you reach adulthood it should have gone.
Me: oh ok? ( see when i say , i am jus a kid no one believes)
Dy: Your ear pipe is blocked by swelling of this tissue. We can give you medicines to reduce it.
Me: so no problem with my ears
Dy: well there is also a possiblity of small air pressure clogged inside
Me: oh ! ( possibility ? , Do you doctors know anything for sure ?! - Sorry Dx no offence )
Dy: we can wait for two weeks, if it doesnot help we can remove your ADENOIDS or
Me: Or ?! ( why they always have to make it like a thriller story ?!)
Dy: I have to make small insertion in your ear to let it out, it would pain a little.
Me: oh ! (a little...?! Have you ever had one ? I bet thats gonna hurt like hell)
Dy: Take the medicines and we see in two weeks

It’s been two days and I think I am improving. Voice sounds better. Now I can here the voices in my head. That's a good progress I guess.

This post is official notification to all of you on my current hearing abilities. Don't jump with joy , its only temporary, I shall be back to form to bug you soon.

So I prefer text/email , also this makes it clear – I am kid in some ways but not dumb!
