Choices at work

Have you ever been put in a dilemma at work??

Choice 1:
My big boss H is in. He's a very friendly Aussie, with high demands & expectations. His secretary is on leave the whole week. So the rest of us have to be his personal assistant for time being and take calls.

Choice 2:
My idol M(my client) seems easy to work with. Gorgeous, intelligent and I think I've sang enough praises for him... eh. All right, maybe I should blame James today. James got me into M's office when I walked past, to dicuss about work again.

Scenario:
Boss H needs someone to be in the office. No boss answers call themselves, do they! I was out to get water *thinking it's just a minute*... all right, its in the office next door. As our lousy pantry only keeps HOT water. James caught me, and asked me to step into M's office to talk about the design I sent them. James was acting funny but M didn't seem to mind, they are buddies afterall eh. And it held me up for like 5 minutes *I forgotten my poor boss's office alone*... but then how can I remember when I was standing right in my cute idol!!!?

I took some time to browse carefully in his office. Here's the findings:
1. Nokia 6610
2. A photo of him with 2 women hugged together... ummm, but yeah he's photogenic
3. Nice smile
4. Black socks... ha ha
5. No chest hair... don't believe this, I didn't see it at all
Damn, when I got back to the office... Of course I was happy. But my boss wasn't. He wasn't pleased no one was in. Ah, what can I say... :(

The Red planet Mars

Where are you? I sat there for so long, all I could see was an orangy dot not 200% bigger than a twinkling star. Is Singapore too far, or Mars' not facing us at that moment. Crap. I'm cheated by the media, by this email... 2 moons by the naked eye!!! That's a lie. :(

2 moons in the sky on 27th AUGUST 2003

Never again in your lifetime will the Red Planet be so spectacular!

This month and next month, the Earth is catching up with Mars, an encounter that will culminate in the closest approach between the two planets in recorded history.

The next time Mars may come this close is in 2287.

Due to the way Jupiter's gravity tugs on Mars and perturbs its orbit,astronomers can only be certain that Mars has not come this close to Earth in the last 5,000 years but it may be as long as 60,000 years.

The encounter will culminate on August 27th when Mars comes to within 34,649,589 miles and will be (next to the moon) the brightest object in the night sky. It will attain a magnitude of -2.9 and will appear 25.11 arc seconds wide.

At a modest 75-power magnification Mars will look as large as the full moon to the naked eye. Mars will be easy to spot.

At the beginning of August, Mars will rise in the east at 10p.m. and reach its azimuth at about 3 a.m. By the end of August when the two planets are closest, Mars will rise at nightfall and reach its highest point in the sky at 12:30 a.m.

That's pretty convenient when it comes to seeing something that no human has seen in recorded history. So mark your calendar at thebeginning of August to see Mars grows progressively brighter and brighter throughout the month.

Share with friends, children and grandchildren and with everyone you know, as no one alive today will ever see this again.

Tourism, a finding

Umm, they didn't mention Asians, I'm proud.

Below source taken from BBC NEWS.

Britons and Germans 'rudest tourists'

British holidaymakers have come a very close second to the Germans in a survey to find the rudest nation of tourists.

Many British tourists were described as "drunken, yobbish, and spitting", with frequent displays of "arrogance" and "ignorance" when on holiday abroad.

After the Germans and the British, the Americans and French were considered the next rudest nations, each with 18% of the votes, followed by the Italians with 17%.

My hot date is Wednesday

I'm wearing a dress. Is that a rare sight!!! Maybe.

My colleagues paid me compliments. One asked if I have a hot date tonight. Likely I felt good waking up on this Wednesday, which then resulted in my impulsive decision of selecting a dress. It's my favourite (truthfully I haven't got much others to compare). One, two, three, four... I can count the few I have in my wardrobe.

Curious??? Not of me, but of my dress?! I'll be glad to do a brief description.

Designed locally by Paperdoll.

Its a very simple blue, but japanese looking dress. I couldn't say why, its not anything kimono alike. But it has these flower & leafy prints with white outlines decorating the bottom edge. It comes to my knees, with slits at the sides. Does it sound japanese now? I don't know why it is that way to me. Okay, the blue is like cloud effect (from photoshop, if you do a filter), mixture of navy blue plus "near teal" blue. Sleeveless. With a drawstring below the bustline, giving it a baby-doll touch; a fold above the bustline, closing a V shaped beneath the collarbone.

Nice? ~wink~

Ball game

It has been a long long long time I laid my butt on the pool table. He he he.

It was a great night even though it was a short 90 minutes. Cheeros, my gals... (you gals are great, aren't u) I remember my first time playing billiard was in Johor, my coach was John. Hah, my colleague. I picked up a bit then. I luv it.

Its my 3rd time playing, and I felt like I've to do it more frequently. Get more practice on small pool tables before I can make a leap to big billiard! I need a pool/billiard partner, pls apply here --> leave me a comment.

Meeting meeting metting

I've a headache from all these meetings. But I shouldn't complain because they are meetings with cute blokes. There goes my head again... *knock knock* stop thinking about men and do more work. I am, I am, already working so hard.

Come to think of it, I actually love this project. It's definitely going to be something BIG and my idol is with me, I'm blessed am I not.

I just had an almost 2 hours meeting with 3 men. At my desk again. In front of my lousy G3 again. My phone couldn't stop beeping, ringing, vibrating and jumping on the desk with that "aaaaaaaeeeeennnn" tone... I couldn't help it, my poor friend whos ringing - very wrong timing. I've to have some good working etiquette.

Man can cook II

One man cooked for me on Friday. I was thrilled. Andreas, thanks for being so generous ;)

Baby carrots yummy sweet. Baked potato what can I say, potato's my baby. Fried fillet drooling again. And of course with AR's secret recipe sauce to accompany with it all.

I like participating in cooking sessions. ~Like how enthusiastic I used to be when I was learning in school~ Ok, I did help frying the fish. ;)

Followed by red wine... nice vcd... Good night it was a friday.

Volley sunny day

I just deleted a ranting thread, now considering there's a risk someone at work might track this... still safer to type less verbal ones!! >.< I should get to more abstract writing for complaints.

Marcus was at court today again. Angela spotted him first, she has got sharper eyes for men than me I thought. He didn't notice us though we stared in the same direction for a bit. I couldn't remember the nth time... then he waved at me. Oh, so you saw me! I waved back - acknowledging his. But I didn't go up since he was playing in a match.

Barny brought his mum there. Lisi, your cute mother-in-law!! Don't beat me.
She's a lovely english lady, reminds me of my b&b hostess, Mrs. Bridget for a minute. I like english old ladies because they are so warm and with so much friendliness I never could experience here. But then, I guess my mum isn't that bad either, she's the local type of warm singapore auntie! He he.

My dad did scare the shit outta me. His boss let him continued at a cost of huge pay cut. It wasn't worth the money but at least he was contented he still got a job. A pathetic job that only pays enough for his own expenses, even less than half of what I earn. Poor dad.

We met a new team at beach volley today. Martin & Jianxiang. They made Angie & me so proud of our skills, simply because they are beginners. So bad of us, but they were fun and entertaining enough with their tactics. Nice game anyway. When I returned to our usual team... Marcus was gone. Ooops.

I felt lousy today with a flu. I almost didn't play in court except for stepping in once for merely minutes. It was so hot. And I got my face burned again.

Idol oh Idol...

These days, I get to see M more than usual because I'm working on his project.

We had a meeting yesterday at my desk. In front of my lousy G3. He sat besides me, while all the other 4 men stood behind us. Damn, if they could disappear... I was almost freaked out by all these men whom only made meaningless suggestions, ideas that doesn't work. James was all right though, being the most practical out of them all. I saw nothing. All else except my idol stayed in my head. He always speak with that serious tone ~mature & sexy~ His stare is full of intensity and warmth. He was the only person whom bothered to ask my opinion of my own designs!! All the others just fcuking live in their own world.

*Knock knock*

I stepped into his office today, first time I ever done so. I was all composed, spoke about my design fluently. I'm impressed with myself. Minutes later, I got his "thank you" e-mail... he wrote: It's looking good - please keep up the effort. Aww, that was sweet. I want to give him a hug. ~wink~ And of course with all other details about the project.

Down with <3

I'm not down with Down with Love.

Let's be frank here. A romance comedy that wasn't beautifully filmed, with some naughty scenes ~probably were the ones worth giggling about~ the only thing worth watching is Ewan McGregor or maybe Renee for the boys.

Overall despite all its shortcoming, here's the moral of the story: all women need <3...
Now don't waste your money since I've told you the story. Heh. And oh, just in case your wondering, I'm NO sucker for romance movies... I like pyschological thriller, horror & maybe idiotic comedy.

p.s: <3>love

Bittersweet

Before I go, I shall end the bitter day with sugar... afterall AR said I'm a sweet gal (can someone slap me for my smugness))))) Angela & I met the volleyball boys last evening. I mentioned on 11th August that I'll bump into them again. And there... the fairy's swaying its wand *magic magic*. For a moment, I didn't realise it was them... Angela exclaimed,"Marcus!" I turned and hey it was them. Unbelievable coincidence I thought. We boarded the train as they alighted from the neighbouring cabin. Marcus seemed to recognise us, like we did after a few seconds peeping. We waved. That's the end of the story. Anyone has a moral for the story??

Awfully Tuesday

I'm in an awful mood today, those whom have chatted with me would have noticed that. AR, you got that bitter taste already, doncha!! #.@

James (my client) emails me "Was there something else you were also waiting for?"
I felt like replying,"You!"
Of course I didn't mean it, but this stupid mood just tends to make me wanna do weird absurd things.

I had a night of insomnia. Not sure why. I never had that, felt awfully disturbed by thoughts. Saddening!

Perhaps because of my conversation with Alex, I guess. His behaviour now completely turns me off... I can't say he changes. Maybe he was more subtle in the past, but he is getting crazy. He's not the man I was once in love with anymore... I began to see myself unreasonably comparing his morals with mine. I started to think what I've done for him are just my stupidity!! Fu*k it, its time to dump all these 2 years down the back of my head.

Mr Yankee IV

Mr. Yankee called today to bid farewell... sort of pleasing to hear I'm a good company;)

Hard work, I like

~ I finally breathe ~ good sign I am still alive

From 10am till almost 730pm this f*cking Monday has been long. I haven't had a chance to log on any messenger - at least for some stress-relieving chats. However, I have done so much [[[[work]]] today, something I should be proud of. It irritates the hell outta me when they keep picking minor faults on them. Finally the client is approving the design. Very cool. I begin to like it too, getting impressed by myself. Ha ha ha.

For once after months, I begin to feel design is part of me, my life, my world, my everything.

I am very tanned (or at least what I saw in the mirror). Not brown yet. But I look like I am a beach girl!!

Poor old fella

I can't imagine this happening. 2003 was so bad. I had all the worst moment in dating, health, work & family life recorded since the year started.

My dad is being retrenched.

He didn't speak a word. When I came home on friday, he was already in bed. Saturday, dad didn't report to work. He's an attitude man!! With an attitude like mine. My mum was grumbling as usual. I wanted to yell at him," Dad, get a life! It's not the end of the world." but seeing his gloomy face frowning, I couldn't say it.

My sister is still studying. My mum's a homemaker. My dad loses his job this month. So me and my big sis will have BIG responsibilities. I don't know if the household can cope with it, he has still 7 months before he gets part of his retirement fees. I can't think of taking another part-time job with the kind of schedule at work. Argh... what can I say? I need some sleep...

Mr Yankee III

Oh yeah, again. I missed his call (too engrossed with my own shopping)!

We met in Borders eventually, just visiting bookstores. I feel like he was accompanying me than really doing something meaningful. How exciting eh:S He got me a woodcraft - elephant from Thailand. He was there before he came, he asked what I want from Thailand. I said," A big elephant." I didn't join his again partying plan tonight, as I had to work from home!!

So my 50 bucks is gone.

Mr Yankee II

Mr. Yankee and I met. He was wearing blue. I was wearing blue. I kinda recognized him (except his new short hair!). Very blonde, he dresses like a 22, looks like 25. Guess what? He's 34. I couldn't believe it almost.

I took him around to look at Singapore's most magnificient building (where I used to go with my date), oopps. This time, they didn't forbid any photography, so it was cool. But no camera on me either, argh. We went to Bugis Village, looked at nice stuffs (I thought guys do not like shopping!), but he's a tourist. So he got souvenirs. Merlion!! Maybe, now Merlion is a symbol of our little island. For once, I felt I am going to be a potential tour guide.

It is funny I can talk a whole lot tonight. I was so shy yesterday. But I couldn't keep silence over dinner, we talked about our stories. How we met. And maybe funny things, because I made him laughed a couple of times. I like having a good laugh. That's more important than anything.

I couldn't join his partying plan as I was too exhausted (imagine my colleague assuming I've to work over the weekend, Fu*k U mr. doodle!!). I promise myself never to step in unless absolutely necessary. I have confidence in myself I'll finish on Monday itself. Tuesday I got myself a movie date (haven't found a date) but I'm all going for it! That's the only consolation to encourage myself to put in extra shit hours for work the next few weeks. Idol, your the motivation now!!

Maybe I'll see Mr. Yankee tomorrow.

I'm a nervous wreck

I glanced at my watch, looked around the office. No one was around. It was yesterday. So I allowed my G3 to sleep after almost 10 hours of playing with my fingers. Fished for the keys, locking up the office, thinking,"Damn I'm the last always." There I saw my idol, M. Gorgeous like before. He & James (another Brit bloke). They stepped out of theirs as I came out of mine. We are neighbours ;)

James went to the restroom. I was left standing with M, awaiting for the elevator. If I am a fairy, I'd make the clock stops, the power shuts down, the world on standstill. Just me & him -- we could talk forever. Or maybe he talk, I'll be gloating. He he he. How bad of me, such a thought!! He spoke to me, my knees turning jelly (how shy can I be)... Is my hair a mess? God, I didn't touch up my make-up (which was 12 hours ago!!) ummm.. what should I say?!!

Truthfully, I wasn't breaking down in heebie-jeebies. Perhaps a little self conscious. I had one butterfly in my tummy, not many though.

"Long time since I saw you, how have you been?"
huhhhh.. I always see him around, he never seen me!! Maybe he meant proper talking, that was last X'mas -- very long indeed.

I didn't stammer (if your wondering). Ha Ha. Oopps but my brain wasn't really functioning with so much stress earlier in the day. All I tried to babble about was work -- which I did wish I could stop bringing that up in any conversation! It wasn't long when James joined us for the less than 30 sec elevator ride. God, I wish I wasn't blushing... It was short, too short but at the moment it seemed like hours.

I smiled at James, but I couldn't with M.

Yaks!

Barny, u missed the lunch. I hate you -- for making me hungry!!!

Mr Yankee

I received 2 anonymous calls on Tuesday. I was literally pissed off when the person didn't speak a word after I answered. And he left me voicemails that are nothing!!

Yesterday he called again... This time, he spoke. Damn, I almost forgotten about it. Mr Yankee. I can't remember how or when I knew him (long ago it seems, but we never talked much), he's a designer/photographer in USA and currently in Singapore for a holiday. So I am supposed to meet him this time, to chill out. Sounds cool.

Vitamin D

My mum says I am burned. My dad says I am dark. My sister says I am black. The other says I am red. My colleague says I got a tan. Another nods his head. I say,"yea, I got a bit of the sun."

The below are quoted from www.tomigion.com except for the ones in italics.

1. Vitamin D: the sun vitamin
The sun is an important source of Vitamin D. Our bodies make Vitamin D when sunlight touches our bare skin. However, it has been proved that too much exposure to direct sunlight increases the risk of skin cancer, so wearing a sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher is important for reducing the risk of skin cancer and preventing premature aging of the skin. Despite the harmful effect of too much sun, it has also been proven that at least 10-15 minutes of sunlight per day, depending on your skin sensitivity, is actually good for you. A major discovery, esp. for people who live in countries with cold ("sun-less") seasons

2. The lack of Vitamin D may contribute to chronic fatigue and depression
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), a mood disorder caused by the lack of light in winter, is a specific type of major depression. It can appear as the onset of major depression in the fall (September through November) and the symptoms abate in late winter to early spring (March through May). Also, the frequency of SAD can vary depending on the amount of sun in relation to the geographic location.

Money on the run

21 years of my life... the first time ever I actually picked up a big note! He he he.

Long ago, I was a kid and pennies used to lay all over the ground.I am sick of the 1cent, 5cent, 10cent. Even now, I wouldn't bother to bend over for it. I was buying lunch, lining in a queue. Ordered my food but I dropped my note. Right under my feet, I saw another ten times more than what I dropped. *Ooops* It's mine now. Not any dishonesty though ~under my moral values~ as I was certain it was dropped by some clumsy soul (whom I ought to thank for) way in front of the Q. I am rich for a day. I shall go some (self pampering) shopping.

Aggressive Thais

R. Madrid 2 Thailand 1

The Thais played very aggressively from the start. Something I haven't seen much in the last Madrid match, but sometimes a little too rough in my opinion. I wasn't impressed by the first half, R. Madrid was keeping their best players for later. It was more like a good defence than playing for goals. It was till Carlos came on, that I believed it was going to be exciting. Unfortunately, the game wasn't a very good one. Maybe the Thais were all charged and ready, but Madrid seemed to be underperforming. And my Casilla was being substituted in the second half >.< I still prefer the Hong Kong match.

That's the end of their Asia friendly tour!!

Wet Saturday...

Volleyball was brought forward to Saturday.... ummm sort of weird, supposedly Saturday was for idling. But my Sunday today is cool as well, had a long sleep after all that exhaustion.

I missed the Cosmoleague soccer match - argh! I'd have loved to go. Marcus, I'll go and support your next match!

Saturday was hot. So hot now that I am a lobster. Red. Not tanned, since I am not that kinda of beach gal really. It was good, usual fun. I had this very funny encounter with 2 caucasian guys. One was skinny and taller, the other was fatter and shorter. I saw them on the train, on my way there. They were behind me. I had my lunch at the hawker, they were there too. After we got to Sentosa, we played for a while. They came. They played the court besides ours. And I actually joined their team playing against my friends!! So I got to know their names (Marcus & Danny). Anyway, I just think its too much of a coincidence. Today, my friend, Angela actually saw them at Somerset. Hey Angie, its yours now. Ha ha ha.

I was thrown into the sea by all these mates who ganged up on me. Bad of them!!! Esp. the guys. They complained of my 100 pounds!! Not that heavy I thought. They were too skinny for it probably. He he he. Coming to think of it, I didn't play as much, but I felt so sore yesterday. Maybe I need a day of rest before all these jumping, running and falling on the sand. We did win a few matches. Not going to say much, since it wasn't much of my credits. He he. My skills improve, yeah, thats for sure.

Real Madrid Madness

Oh oh oh... R. Madrid 4 Hong Kong 2 on friday.

Just to self-declare that I am not a Real Madrid fan bcos of David Beckham. But yeh, I kinda liked him in the past, admired him probably. I got his biography for god's sake, he he he, but ah I haven't had the patience to finish reading it yet. He's cool, definitely. I am a fan, most likely bcos of World Cup 2002. I decided I should go for Germany or Spain, whichever that went further into the finals.

I am more of a goal-keeper fan when it comes to football. My two favourites are Casilla (he's my age!! damn) and Shay Given (aww..).

Back to the match on friday. Ronaldo scored the 2nd goal with his new tricks (which did impressed me for a bit) but then it became quite common when a few of them had been using it on the field. I must say, Hong Kong played pretty well in fact, though their defence wasn't superb. Their goalie did irritate me when he kept running far from his goal post. I actually panicked for them!!! But everyone knows R Madrid definitely wins.... oh well.

There's another match tonight - Thailand vs R. Madrid!!

Yawning

I realised I have been out late for past 2 nights, no partying or drinking at all. Just usual stuffs... little gatherings. It's kind of nice really, but tiring too. Last night, my gal friends prevented me from splurging on a new top (that I really like at 1st sight)!!! Maybe it was a little expensive, but I thought I need some self pampering! > . <

Alex & I started talking again, though I don't know if that's the right thing. It feels very different now...

Car, changi & "ah kua"

My cousin CM brought me for a spin in his car last night. Or really just a drive out for their dinner. Its been months or years I had little gatherings like this. It was supposed to be a secret (about last night excursion) for 3 of us!!

CM used to be my childhood playmate, I couldn't explain why, but I had very good relationship with him & LT (whom lost his life to leukemia years ago). LT's sister was the mastermind of the plan last night, she's more of my sister's buddy than mine really. But all of us get along pretty well.

CM just passed his driving 1 month ago, and bought a 2nd hand car 2 weeks ago. Damn, you'll never imagine he's only 20!! I never think twice about cruising in his L plated car, probably because his dad is a driving instructor. He he. But I guess its a form of trust we have built up. Its a fairly cool silver Honda (if my memory or sight doesn't fail), with wide and comfortable seats & flaunting blue lights that lit it.

We drove to Changi Village for food (in my impression, it wasn't the rowdy place anymore). With many coffeeshops closed down, and only "trendy Harley Davidson" uncles patronizing. I am fascinated by their flashy bikes lining up by the coffeeshop. All kinds. All sizes.

Before we headed back, we had a peep at the famous "ah kua" down the village. They are the so-called "transsexuals". Well, I am not against such stuffs, or homosexuality but they really make me curious. We caught a glimpse of a couple walking together. All provocatively dressed, in super short mini-skirts (that probably only enough to cover their crotch), a bikini top or something that reveals part of their "breasts". We saw one of them hopping in a lorry for their "regular session", which I wouldn't even like to know what that is!! > . <

My wednesday night

Oh well... Na ja (in german)... Wednesday night is supposedly ladies' night (free drinks!!!) but I haven't been up to any clubbing of late. Fancy some lonesome shopping on a wednesday night??! or the least shopping does bore me now. At least, I found a pressie (present) for my mum after >120 minutes of loitering. Not something I had in mind though. Its something she might just need (I overheard her complaining the other day), something very common (I remember she gets one almost every year from me/my sis!! he he), something that at least she carries most of the time (and reminds her its from me. he he). Anyhow, I am still thinking of the actual day celebration. How about a cake?! But she can't have things too sweet. Maybe a dinner night-out?!

Blast in Jakarta

The bombing of Marriot in Jakarta on 5th August 2003
I'm shocked by the sudden news that terrorism has returned to haunt us or at least Indonesia again!! After the tragedy in Bali and 9-11, SARS & Iraq war followed behind... We (or at least I) think for a moment there is world peace. Sad to bring up this piece of news, but something we ought to be aware of. It concerns all of us!

Below are some lines quoted from www.channelnewsasia.com

World News
The United States said it was "cowardly" and "deplorable" and that it fully supported Indonesian President Megawati Sukarnoputri's battle against terrorism. "We strongly condemn this as a terrorist attack," White House spokesman Scott McClellan told reporters in Crawford, Texas, where President George W Bush is on vacation. In Washington, State Department deputy spokesman Philip Reeker condemned what he termed a "deplorable act of terrorist violence." "Marriott is American. Whether this (blast) is aimed at destroying US interests, I think there may have been such an aim," Indonesian Vice President Hamzah Haz told journalists.

Singapore News
Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong said the bombing of the Marriott Hotel is a barbaric attack. Dr Andrew Tan said: "The Marriott is significant because it is an international hotel. It is a well establish hotel in Jakarta. If westerners are involved, it sends a very negative signal. The threat of terrorist attacks remain very real, especially in Indonesia, it's not surprising to see attacks of this nature. I suspect this won't be the last."

Disturbed

I had a horrible horrible nightmare last night.

Let's imagine this:
nightmare n
1: a situation resembling a terrifying dream [syn: incubus]
2: a terrifying or deeply upsetting dream

And my dream has to be described by adding a double "horrible" in front of that... I actually saw deaths in this nightmarish dream, people falling to death! How scary can that be when these people are my kin?!!

nightmare A condition in sleep usually caused by improper eating or by digestive or nervous troubles, and characterized by a sense of extreme uneasiness or discomfort (as of weight on the chest or stomach, impossibility of motion or speech, etc.), or by frightful or oppressive dreams, from which one wakes after extreme anxiety, in a troubled state of mind; incubus. --Dunglison.

Maybe I should start practising aromatherapy!

Up and Bumping!!

Hey, thank you people... you have always made my day! *hugs* I was physically too exhausted to come on last night to write a line. It was the MOST EXCITING volleyball game ever. BECAUSE we finally won a match. He he he. Not too sure if the opponents were too worn out, or we are better. But I can't be more glad that we beat them! *YEAH* Cheers to all my Team Mates (Joy, Angela, Mingli, Benson & Jacky) ho ho ho... I was almost recovered yesterday (except for my voice which made me still sick!), but sometimes that does sound more sexy. ~wink~ Up and bumping today, I feel very fresh (after our first victory game & triumphed over the monster!!)... p/s: hella outta goooood time soccer as well.

Sick-O

I spend half my time in bed today. What a way to spend my Saturday?!?! I don't like being sick. But then again it reminds me how to take care of myself. I felt for once I can tell my mum that I am a BIG girl now, and she needn't worry for me! I'm going to kill the monster and have my volleyball fun tomorrow. :) Oh, I've thought of what to get for my mummy's birthday. She's 52 on Friday... oww.. I feel I am getting older too.

Marcus's recipe

Hey Marcus... I tried your onion juice (plus Sugar) recipe. aww, tastes nice but I had that smell in my mouth for hours. Oh, I had 3 Clarinase pills last night, it sort of killed the monster, I guess its only badly injured. I need more to make it dead. I'm having a WOODS lozenges to prevent coughing machine attacking! *argh* Thanks.

The Sneeze monster is attacking again... including a few more victims. Maybe I should *stab* him or he should wear a mask (SARS???!!!). Maybe I should try hot milk + honey.
