38 Degrees


It's not the weather I'm talking about. It's my body temperature.

Went home last night with a fever. Searched the drawers for the "SARS kit" that the government gave out to every household in Singapore in 2003 when there's the SARS outbreak. Miraculously, the thermometer still works!! I put it under my armpit to check the temperature and it turned out to be 38 degrees. Since no doctor around my area is opened at 10pm, I had to search the house for panadol. Can't find any, so had to call upstairs to 'borrow' a panadol.

My nieces came down, since she had 2 math questions to ask me. I can easily strangle her 'cos she's not paying attention and obviously only interested in the answer. My sis-in-law came down a while later. Her wounds are healing. We can go for our spa soon! yeah!

Supposed to have a 'marcom gathering' during lunch just now but Sharon had a last minute meeting, hence the meeting was cancelled. But poor Daryl was out for an appointment, hence, he went to CPF building and waited... and waited... but no one appeared. So, I decided to go down to meet him for lunch. Brought him to TV12 canteen to eat, he was amazed that such a building exists! haha...

Hopefully my fever don't come back to haunt me. Saw the news about some disease spread by mosquitoes that's prevalent in Malaysia and may come to Singapore soon. I hope I don't get that! 'cos the symptom was - sudden fever. And it had to happen to me Yesterday!!!

Also saw the news about France going to catch people carrying fake goods. Dunno if they are going to pass the same law in Singapore. But I find it really absurd! If my 'fake good' is ORIGINAL but made in China, does it mean I have to pay a fine or go to jail? Strange!!!!

Happy. Birth. Day


Went KTV with Emily & Amy on Thursday night and only reached home at 4:30am the next day... Yawnzzzzz... so tired.... It turned out to be a rainy Good Friday, but I've already arranged with my buddies to meet up for my birthday celebration.

Yuan's hubby was the driver of the day. The car came around 2:30pm but the rain was still heavy. We decided to go somewhere for lunch... in the end after circling around the CBD area for so long, we decided to stop by M Hotel to have lunch. David paid for lunch. haha... It was then that they gave me the presents :)

I got a Blythe Doll (a small one who can blink her eyes) and a set of Postcards (Ji Ben Ba Na Na). After that we went to watch Ice Age 2 at Eng Wah in Suntec... "I believe I can fly..." and "Food, Glorious Food" are stuck in my head now. Its so farnie... the Moses and Noah's ark element are especially strong when you watched the movie on a Good Friday.

After which we went to Bishan Park to feed the mosquitoes! haha... not really lah... just that there's this pub/cafe at Bishan Park and we just want to go there for some drinks. The ambience is not bad... not many people were there... maybe due to the rain(?) though its sheltered. Anyway, we had lots of sinful food...

Before the movie, we went to Coffee Club @ Millennia Walk to have coffee and ended up ordering a mud pie! haha..... and our coffees... before that the lunch at M Hotel is really heavy. We ordered a mango&prawn salad and something like pohpiah with BBQ Duck inside to share, and had our separate main course. Then at that cafe/pub in Bishan Park, we ordered drinks to go with the beef lasagne, teriyaki chicken & sotong balls we ordered.

Reached home at almost 12:30am. But had to wake up early cos on Sat, need to go to bro's stall to helpout.

Had a mini celebration at my bro's stall on Sunday. Think everyone in the market knows its my birthday on Sunday. My nieces & nephews were there too! Too bad sis and my cousins couldn't come due to the rain. I had a cake, and some ice-cream too! hehe...... brother gave me something this year... WOW! Mum gave me an ang pao of $22. Then April & the other 2 gals bought me something out of their own pocket - a handphone accessory. And Jenny gave me a bottle of perfume ; )

My colleagues planned a quite unsuccessful birthday surprise for me on Thursday. I already knew what they wanted to do. But they are sweet lah : ) Gave me a Charles & Keith bag and CD.

My head is a bit dizzy now... Yawnzzzzzzzzzz
