H5N1?

One thing I learned over the past few days.

Don't be a hero.

Been having a mild case of flu and sorethroat for the past few days and regardless of that, I've been ignoring it and have been sleeping late and not getting enough of rest.

So, what do you get? Well, definately not the H5N1 Avian flu......but my condition did worsened, especially when I forced myself to go to work yesterday.

Partly because of the Senior's Buddy Dinner we had yesterday; I forced myself to be at work and decided not to take an MC as I didn't want to be accuse of being sick but still being able to attend a social function. Though, I noticed that whenever I'm in office, my nose gets blocked and somehow recovers when I leave office. Someone should do something about the working conditions there....

In the end; I am down and out today. As my flu worsened, I couldn't breathe properly as I had to breathe thru my mouth and talked to customers at the same time. And to make matters worse, I had a splitting headache that was so painful that made my eyes teary! If I didn't know better, customers might have thought they have called the Star Wars Hotline and they were talking to Darth Vader. Or better yet....they might have thought they have called a porn hotline.

Boy, did wanted to try......."Lukke.....wa si....*chokes* lim lau peh...*chokes*........faster pay your....*coughs*....handphone bills. *heavy breathing*."
So here I am.....resting at home. Times like this I wish I had someone to take care of me. Not that I'm complaining, but you get pretty much self-reliant after staying alone for the past 2 years. With a waterry nose and a coarse voice that can make grown men run for their lives; I still had to drag myself out of bed and go see the doctor and prepare my own meals.

Anyway, I guess the Senior Buddy's Dinner after work was worth the torturous 9 hours of work. We went to Hoshi Japanese Restaurant at IMM and we had a feast!

Despite the mildly rude waiters, we didn't cared much for what was around us but it was all about having ourselves a good time.

Miraculously, when the food arrived, my flu and sorethroat just suddenly dissapeared and I started "attacking" delectable sashimi!!!! I simply love Japanese food! Definately one of my favourite cuisines of all time.


All in all, it was a really nice outing with all the seniors and the managers.
