I'mBlueDabediDabeda..

I'm behaving pretty weirdly as my birthday is approaching. I'm avoiding all familiar contacts, wanting to hybernate and lose touch with the outside world.

My cough is not getting any better; one of my Goonies actually gave me the Strepsils yesterday before she went home. Very sweet of her. And talking about that, I miss my boys. Lol..

Two good things happened to me this week. I was very happy and determined that I must save more so that if I were to take a break, I can sustain my lifestyle.

Gave my family a treat yesterday. Owe them that much. But I think I was too tired and sick to enjoy the delicious food. In fact, at some point of time while I'm talking, I couldn't really hear myself. The stoopid phelgm is clogging up my throat, nose and even my ears. I can't even sleep on one pillow or side ways or head down because I couldn't breathe. Had to stack up three pillows to get a good rest. Lame..

Feel like living my life in a trance. So to give a boost of endorphines, I have started running on my treadmill again. Feel good to punish myself physically. Not that I'm a sadomasochistic. The last time I did this was about six years ago. That was to forget. But now is to refresh myself.

Azza.. Azza.. Fighting!

SoreThroat&RunningNose

I'm having a bad sore throat. It's painful to swallow and clogged with phelgm. All thanks to the teh tarik (refer to picture). Actually, I should have drunk plain water after that, but in my excitement with PurringFeline and two of our ex-Goonies, I went by the night with the teh tarik as my last drink. The teh tarik was a complimentary drink by our ex-Goonies; very sweet of them. But me, being me, drank it, knowing that it was going to cost my throat. I thought since it was the eve of Good Friday, I could enjoy anything I wanted. In the end, it's Sunday today, and I still am suffering from sore throat. What a loser..




Had a great night outing with PurringFeline. It was a rare occassion to go out with her; it was rarer to go out with her and go home at 0400! While waiting for our movie to start, we actually went online with her smart phone and chatted with JaroGee. Didn't know smart phone can do so many things. I'm impressed!






My Good Friday was spent at a friend's house planning an item for two friends' birthday party. Never thought I was going to do such a thing again; the last time I did it was when I was in NUS. And that was about a deacade ago! Both of us were super excited; reminded me of the time I was in TJ, giggling and laughing at the things we were planning to do. After that, met up with GB and PinkMonkie for a movie. And as a sign of old age, I had a bad headache during the movie. Couldn't even drive properly. Plus the stoopid sore throat.



Saturday was the birthday party. I woke up sick, with running nose and sore throat. Was thinking of abandoning the idea of going for the party but my poor friend would be left stranded with the item. I finally went, after taking a nap just to stop my running nose.



I have not gone to a birthday party for zillions of years. Felt kind of awkward there; besides the two birthday girls, I only knew three other people there. But I realised, as we grow older, we tend to be out of our comfort zone. So what to do? Just mingle around.



The party wasn't that bad. I actually did something which I thought I would never do. Lol.. In fact, in the midst of strangers. Haiz.. The next time I'm caught in such a situation, I will quietly desert my post. Lol..



And as a punishment of three-day of merry-making, I am down with sore throat and running nose. Am contemplating if I should go to work tomorrow. And has decided that I should give myself the rest. But I felt terribly guilty; I hate this feeling. Haiz.. So, to make myself feel better, I tell myself, I better rest. Or else, my sore throat will worsen. Lol.. Lame..

TheFairyAndHerFavouriteLittleGnome

Once upon a time, there lived a a fairy with her little gnomes. She found comfort in her little gnomes' presence despite the constant displeasure of the community with their rowdy and ill-disciplined behaviour. They always made her laugh; and they always made her cry too. But most importantly, they loved her and appreciated her presence, just like how she loved them and valued their company.

The fairy had one favourite gnome whom she always gave priority among the rest. He would get the most attention and most candy as compared to the rest. He, in turn, would spend his time with her and always made her day. He would work hard to better his magical skills and the fairy would feel a certain pride that her little favourite gnome was doing well. The fairy had no doubt that he would be successful in life and looked forward to the day that he was awarded the highest honour for his achievement in his magical skills.

Alas, the fairy made a decision to move on with her life, leaving behind what she had built for the past few years. It was a difficult decision for her but if she didn't do it then, she would never do it. She expected her favourite little gnome to continue what he had been doing; working hard in his magical skills and aiming to achieve the highest level.

But what he did broke her heart; he lost his will to pursue his craft and not wanting to worry her, kept his departure from the magical world a secret. When she found out, she tried as her might to change his decision but to no avail. She respected his decision and hoped that he would now pursue his other dream.

Months passed and the favourite little gnome was still living in his shell. The fairy couldn't reach out to him anymore because he had created an invisible barrier to oust her out of his life. Everytime she saw him, he was a ghost of his former self; aloof and alone. It pained her that he was stagnant, so unlike him.

One day, the fairy asked him, "If I were not to move on, would you continue your magical studies?"

The little gnome answered, "Yes."

The fairy had always pondered if her decision to move on was wise. Everything had been perfect in her new life except for her worry for her little favourite gnome. She loathed the idea of regretting any decisions that she made; but this was one decision that would haunt her for the rest of her life.

Everytime the fairy met up with her favourite little gnome, she would stare at him and muse. And she would pray that he would morph back to his original self, the little gnome who always made her day.

TitusVersusCasio

I gave in to temptation and finally bought it.

A Titus. Motor kinetic. Snake skin.

Cool...

P.H.Y.S.I.C.S also bought one. Check out hers @the most right hand.
PinkMonkie is wearing the Casio watch which we gave her for her birthday 2 years ago (the most left).



Finally.. everybody's watches. GB's is the black Casio. Stoopid guy didn't want to take a photo even after I said please TWICE! Humph!
Ended up, P.H.Y.S.I.C.S had to wear his watch so that we could take a pic.

Don't we look stunning?

FruitfulDay=MyCleanTable

VERSUS

I'm proud to say that I spent a fruitful day at work today. After the oral exam, I managed to clear some pending stuffs and my table is clean all over again. Now in a new environment, neither my Yo-Bo nor P.H.Y.S.I.C.S can help me clean my table anymore. So I have to be the responsible one. Lol.. I think they won't believe how spotless my domain is now.

I believe the workers who lock up my work area detest me to the core. I would be one of the few who would be last to leave. Always have to be kicked out by them. Today, again the guy came and told me, "Lock up at 6.30pm." As usual, I would hurry to pack my things up. But today, my sidekick didn't come to work so with no support to dilly dally, I quickly left the office.

Was contemplating to go Compasspoint to buy some stuff to munch but I felt so lazy. Especially when it was cold and the weather was fit to sleep in. So I ended up driving back home. Now at 9 plus, I feel so sleepy. I think I'll hit the sack after this.

Was planning to drive to JB tomorrow. But due to the unfortunate event where that JI guy had escaped, everybody told me that it was a bad idea because of the jam. Haiz.. I have not driven to JB for the longest time. Guess, I have to do my shopping in Singapore then.

Can't open my eyes anymore.

Time for slumberland..

I sure am glad that today's a fruitful day..

WhatHappenedToMeForTheLast3Days

I actually set a record; no MC for this term. Pretty impressive, huh? But in the end, I fell sick yesterday. I went to work, thinking of clearing up all the stuff that I left behind (literally on the table) on Friday. But I was only there for an hour plus when I kept sneezing non-stop that I had to leave the place. Called GB up to ask if he wanted to eat ice cream. He was in the process of moving house and so, couldn't make it. Called PinkMonkie. But she was at a KTV lunch. So she couldn't make it either. Called P.H.Y.S.I.C.S. She had to babysit her niece and nephew. So I ended up going home and was sick the rest of the day.

Alright.. my life seemed to be pretty messy. Let's start with Friday. There was Parent-Teacher Meeting (PTM) which supposedly started at 1330. I had an appointment with a mother at 1245. But she came even before the school ended so I and my Co-Form were rushing straight after our classes to attend to her. Those who made appoinments between 1330 to 1400 also came before 1300; as a result, both of us were flabbergasted because we just ended classes and weren't prepared. There was supposed to be another Potter helping us but that bugger seemed to disappear, with no reasons given. What the hell!

The PTM ended about 1800 so when I and my Co-Form wanted to close shop, another parents came at about 1815. Of course, we couldn't shoo them away, despite the official timing. Talked for about 10 to 15 minutes and finally, we cleared up.

My day still had not ended yet. I had to go to this conference thingy; one Goonie of mine committed something outside so he had to be reviewed by the Instituition, counselor and police. Gosh.. despite all that, he was still recalcitrant. Think he is some big shot. Scolded me vulgarity when I advised him to wear his uniform properly! Bloody asshole. And I didn't even shouted at him. Haiz.. wish he can be locked up so that my life and my Goonie's life will be more peaceful.

I was on the way down for that conference thingy when I spotted one of my Goonies with her mother. They had come late and since the place had been locked up, they assumed that I had gone home. When I saw them, I motioned for them to come back and I went up again to collect her report book. After talking for 10 to 15 minutes (again..), I went into the General Office for the conference thingy. But it had ended. Thank God! The last time I went to the conference thingy (which was last Friday), it lasted for more than 3 hours. I was super bored and uber tired by then!

Thinking that my day had ended and finally, I could clean up my table and do my work, I started to reorganise my things. Then a Potter came and told me that a parent was outside waiting for me. Guess what time it was? 1900. Gosh.. That was more than an hour late! But I still met her and we talked about her daughter.

By the time I ended, I had no mood to do work. I was supposed to have dinner with PinkMonkie et al but an ex-Goonie of mine called and said that they were going out for dessert. Plus one of them was driving. I was quite keen to meet my ex-Goonies because I had not seen them for the longest time. But I had to go home first because my Auntie needed my help. Unfortunately, by the time I finished helping her, I was dead tired. Super shag. I couldn't keep my eyes open. So I ended up not meeting anybody and slept.

The next day, I had to be at work by 1030 because I made an appoinment with a parent. Once I sat down to do work, I started sneezing non-stop. Gosh.. so lame. Plus, my old pals were driving me nuts with their needs and wants. I wanted to organise an outing for 5 of us since we had not met up together for the longest time. But everybody had their own wants and ended up, became my fault. You, guys, are arseholes, you know that? Yup, I'm super pissed. Needed time away from everybody. Better still.. I need to hybernate from all of you.

I was supposed to meet up an old friend for supper yesterday but I fell sick. So lame.. I really couldn't breathe properly (my nose was blocked and running at the same time. Duh!) and I was running a temperature. Woke up this morning feeling slightly weak and my nose so sore. I better get well today or else I had to cancel all my appoinments. Such a loser..

I've already lined up what to do for my hols.

Joseph, can you do the planning instead? Friday will be good because I have plans from Monday all the way to Thursday. Be a good boy so that I won't shoot arrow at you when we meet. Can? Lol..
