heute bin ich eine Schlafmütze

I am a sleepyhead today (as the above German title).

My nose seems to be nowhere near recovery. I finished my last 4 Clarinase pills, now I'm starting on Lemsip. Perhaps after all the vitamin C intake (boiled orange and 9 mini oranges), it has delayed the deterioration. But I'm still sneezing and sticking tissues up my nostrils. Sometimes I feel the dryness and soreness within, my poor nose.

I have to get better!! Tomorrow is the 1st out of the 2 Christmas Parties (so far) I'm going and I want to have fun. I'm going to dress nice, enjoy the food and beer, and laughed my silly head off after a tiring week (which seems to be moving fast, so that's good!). I am glad I do like what I am doing now - learning new things, being put in charge of big tasks and doing a variety (remember, I hate bores and routine!).

My intranet is down, so here I am... trying to write some "have and don't have" (please translate in Hokkien to get the meaning). That literally means "crap" or "nonsense" or in fact just meaningless stuff.


The office cleaner auntie
A head of white hair, bespectacled, witch-look-alike, and appearing very hostile on the first sight... actually she is one friendly soul. After a few mornings of clearing my bin when I'd always make a point to say "thank you" (in mandarin) , she seems to be the only one so far ever I heard replying with a "welcome" (in mandarin). It is true, how many of us reply with that after someone said a "thank you"... I'm the kind whom normally returns with a smile or a nod. Today, she greeted me,"Morning." I acted a bit retarded, but later on caught up when she asked if I had my breakfast. I'm still so sleepy.. sleepy.. sleepy, maybe due to the Lemsip I drank last night. Funnily, Clarinase didn't seem to make me drowsy. I just made myself a cappuccino, however... coffee doesn't work on me.


p/s: Seems like I've fixed the table (just need to set the width so it doesn't go outta the page)!
