Blues & Flu

Felt so damn sick having to wake up from deep slumber (I hate myself. Argh!) Weekends seem to be very short and weekends, never-ending : ( It didn't help that my throat felt ripped and dry; and my nose blocked. Washed up and left for the office (Welcome to the cold and dead workplace) To be frank, I have not been doing anything concrete for the past week (What's there to do when resumes are getting fewer and lousier?) Surfing the Internet and posting comments in the SPI forum seem more constructive : / Had wanted to go somewhere further for a good lunch with Adeline, but it rained (Tough luck) and we had fish soup with condensed milk at the Arcade before proceeding to have a mug of soul-warming Chinese tea : )

Went back to office with my throat feeling even more ripped and I felt like a walking inferno. Guess I was so heaty that I could feel my eyeballs burning : ( Desperate to cool my system down, both Adeline and I sneaked out of the office to buy fruits (The non-fruit lover had Malay cakes instead) It was great to chomp into chunks of watermelon, pineapple and chiku : P and they really help as I did not feel as bad. Attended the weekly sales meeting and debate discussion and quickly made a graceful exit (I just couldn't make myself stay anymore)

Had wanted to doggy pack mixed veggie rice, but the sight of the leftovers turned me off. Went home and saw Aunt Maddy - She came back home earlier than usual and hey, it was my lucky day : ) Made her cook maggie mee for me (It tasted heavenly despite only veggie, bacon and egg - It had been a long time since I touched home-cooked food!) While slurping, I saw a bottle of Skippy peanut butter and had a tablespoonful of it (I couldn't resist the creamy texture and guess what, it proved to be a killer - My throat hurts again) Ignoring the ripping throat, I went to take a short nap and woke up an hour later to watch the 9 pm drama serial (Yes, I cannot resist Tay Ping Hui : P ) before bathing and slapping tomato paste onto my face.

Wonder what could be the cause of the soreness of the throat? Hmm! It could be the chicken thigh and ribs that I had with King Kong at Kenny Roger's the night before! >: ( Before that, he brought me to Kallang to attend "yew keng" - A Taoist ritual which spears were pierced through the flesh of mediums before they go round the island in lorries. As it was still early and I was too sick of strolling aimlessly in shopping malls, we went to Haw Par Villa : ) Took some pictures of the statues and well, it was a great choice over Orchard Road or Vivocity : )

Anyway, I am so glad that I can go for my 2nd last treatment tomorrow evening. It has been a week since I am wrapped in cold bandages and I miss the psychotic treatment : D I feel so fat! I must go and squeeze the fats and toxins out! Grrrrrrrrr........
