Blatant Spelling Error?




This was what I saw when I opened firefox. Google's my homepage. Heh.

Back to Blogging.

My apologies to readers of my blog. This month has been absolutely mad. After a seeming recovery, and a trip to genting, and a trip to the hospital (to admit someone else), I was down with fever. When the fever was gone, another bout of cough came along, together with news that my maternal grandmother passed away.

Hurriedly, I was forced to make a trip for the funeral in Malaysia with the mother. Hung around for 4 days, came back, went back to work coughing and now finally a Saturday all to myself (well almost). Not mentioning I have been away from Toastmasters for a month now.

But bad news aside, I'm finally coughing less (as the yellow phlegm is making its way out of my body) , Serene is back in Singapore and I'm glad to be home without a terminally ill patient. Calmness, peace, serenity.

The morning part-time job goes on, with a little pressure to finish writing quicker as the deadline draws near. The tuition frenzy goes on. But finances look good. That's because I've been busy to the extent that I don't have the time for retail therapy. Well, I don't have the mood or energy either.

Let everything be back to normal, let me slump back into my routine, let me do what I want to do.

Of Antibiotics and Rest

After a consultation with the gp and two full days of medicine and proper rest, I'm feeling very very rested. No longer coughing my lungs out, and having the voice that may go anytime. So for today, I'm skipping Toastmasters. My voice ain't ready for some full 10-min language evaluation yet. I better safe guard my voice box.

Antibiotics make me high. I feel like I'm floating when I walk, my hands shake, making me feel like a sick person. Obviously, I am sick. But can't get to nap in the afternoons since the afternoons are usually of high-level brain activity like tuition...

I'm ready to get back to work tomorrow, although still coughing a little. But the lungs aren't coming out for now. =D

Dry Cough

Yikes, dry cough and coughing from the lungs. I cough like I'm going to die.

Went back to work today - coughing and doing data-entry. Well, just transferring information hundreds of years ago on manuscript to a word document, with the boss helping to spell out the names while I do the typing. But at last, I'm about 60% done with the report on technical education.

I finally got my access card too! No longer need to borrow the card when I head to the toilet, since there's this magnetic door that you have to get through before reaching the office. Time really passes quickly when one is busy at work. I do a few things and it's time to go home.

Let the cough disappear over the weekend and let me be healthy back at work next week. Then the weekend can be left to shopping since the salary would already have rolled in.

Argh!

My tuition kids and their mum have nicely passed me the cough virus. All three of them were coughing really badly when I tutored the younger one. Good, now I get it too. Took a day off today and I'm going back tomorrow.

No more KBox with RP on Saturday I guess. =x

Life's been like that, as usual, in addition to a terminally ill patient at home with a horrid temper and a just-sharpened-sword-sharp tongue. Sooner or later, I'll flip the table too, and throw a slipper at you.  I'm not sorry and in this world, you just don't get everything that you want. Learn that while you are still alive.

Tiredness really is:

- Work (taking up the least energy I should say)

- Tuition

- Putting up with invasion of privacy

- Hunting for a full-time job

- Putting up with harsh words

- Taking time to accompany the mother

- Going to the hospital from time to time (which is a total travelling time of 3 hours to and fro)

- Household chores...

So, don't make it sound like I'm tired because I just started work. Work is not tiring, everything else is.

If you get the blardy-attitude from me with the reply of, "Whatever," then you know you just stepped on my tail, just that I ain't gonna argue with you.

Monday Blues

This makes me doze off... This is what I'm supposed to read and do a report on... Madness!

This keeps me awake, at least for a few pages.

My Tagged Office Cubicle

With more pictures to come... That book, on the right, is the LKY memoir. Every cubicle has one copy.

Of Crazyness and Madness.

Finally, the day comes to an end, with my MacBook on my lap, me on my bed and blogging. It was just pure madness going to the market today, helping my aunts carry their harvests, and then coming home but walking around the house non-stop without a chance to sit for just 5 minutes because I was getting stuff for my aunts. But, they rarely come, so it is really my pleasure to make their short 3-day trip as comfortable as possible. So when there came a chance to nap, I did, for about 2 hours before getting ready to head for the housewarming party. 

It's Sunday, the final day of the weekend, and back to work soon enough. The time really passes faster when you are kept busy. Tomorrow is head-to-town day with the aunts and uncle. But first, I'm looking forward to dim sum. (:

It's Saturday!

After three days of almost menial work, now it's reading task! Well, a file with documents about the same thickness of LKY's memoir. I'm say just, at the 20th page or something. And then, the boss will test me on the content. I feel like I'm studying all over again, just that this time, it's about the pre-war, war, and post-war eras on how technical education has progressed. Oh well, when I get back on Monday, it's more reading...

Today is kor's housewarming party for the relatives. I shall be busy helping out with the cooking. Right now, it's rest and relax time...

The Daily Routine

Half-day work has begun for the second day and I'm already getting into it like a routine. Wake up at 6.15am, get out at 7.15am, start work at 8.30pm, finish work at 12.30pm. Then have lunch, go for either my one or two sessions of tuition and then get home finally. Rest a while, have dinner, watch a lil' television, surf the net, and voila, sleep and the next day begins with the same cycle. Just 2 days and I'm feeling it.

Not very keen on staying up late because I'll wake up grumpy the next day. But here I am due to Toastmasters. After getting out of the bathroom, my long hair is still wet, and I'm feeling kinda fresh so am going to spend some time checking emails and blogging. Anyway, yesterday, which was my first day, after getting to my cubicle, I already found my cubicle tagged with my name. That means that they tagged my cubicle after my "chat". Nice.

I have to get to sleep soon, or I'll be yawning while having tuition tomorrow. Good night real world.
