Sick..........................................

Sigh... All because of a slight choke on a cup of water... It all happened on Tuesday night when I was drinking a cup of water. I choked slightly on it and I could feel a small amount of water in the back of my throat, on the upper larynx. I tried coughing, sucking it in and all methods to get it out, but all ended up in vain. The irritation caused me a sleepless night with plenty of tissue papers used to clear my irritation.

Wednesday at work, my nose was practically dripping with fluids. Yes, it was like a loose tap with dripping water. It is that bad... The worst part came when I had to attend a briefing at SP. The room was cruelly cold and I didn't had my jacket with me. To add salt to the wound, the briefing was all about everything I already know... Waste of my precious time... I could have done a run of BIAcore with the 3 hours! By the time the briefing ended, I knew I am in for a worser time at night.

Thankfully, Christelle's parents came to pick her up from work due to her injured foot, so Bernard and I hitched a ride back to Bedok. I took bus 21 home from there and it proved to be a disturbing trip. I went to the upper deck of the bus and along came a Chinese guy who was blasting a Chinese song out loud from his handphone. Already at the back of the upper deck was a group of Malays blasting their songs as well. The entire upper deck was a battle between the Chinese and the Malays on whose handphones can blast the loudest music. Childish and immature people... Perhaps Singapore should implement a penalty on those whose music from their MP3 players or handphones are disturbing those around them. I saw an article this year on USA imposing a penalty on those who turned their MP3 players volume so loud that those beside them can hear it. If Singapore is to impose this penalty, I am sure the government can earn a substantial amount from these penalties...

Ok, back home and I felt even worse. I was feeling warm a moment ago and the next, I can be freezing like hell... Off to the doctor I went. Got a one-day MC. So today, I stayed home and took my medications on time. The medications made me drowsy all day. I was practically sleeping on and off. But the worst thing is, I don't get enough quality rest. Either the toddler my mum was babysitting was making so much noise, or the drilling sound my dad made to install a ledge in the bathroom. Sigh...

What a day to choose to be on MC. How I wish I can be back at work, staying in the Chemical Store and running my BIAcore machine...

Ok, these are some of the photographs taken on my youngest sister's 22nd birthday... Indulgz at Bugis was the restaurant which provided the sumptuous dinner... After diner, it was desserts at Ah Qiu just a few streets away...
