30th Birthday Celebration!
Hi there! I really meant to put down my series of activities planned out for my 30th birthday earlier. But somehow, something unplanned for crop up and I need to deal wif it - I was down with flu for more than a whole week! Not fully recover til today.
The celebration started Thursday. Well, I've put tht in my previous entry - Went to SanoBar and New Asia Bar with the mad cows. I was lethargic tht nite, but I didn’t pay attention to it.
It broke out on Friday when I was on leave. oh man! I took my Panadol as usually, thot it would go away soon. Then in the evening, I had a simple (& sinful) dinner with the Guys at BotakJones. Anything in Singapore with long queue means it's good. Well.... Not really fan-tastic for me though.
My flu got worse on Saturday, body aching, more lethargic and started to cough. I was supposed to go shopping with my sis and Namie and then proceed to the Mayday Concert together! But I really can’t pull myself out of bed and slept till about 4pm. I went to Tampines for shopping anyway and got a good deal at La Senza. It was 50% store wide, and Stand Chart card holders will get additional 15%! Gosh, a good whole 65% off. So the 3 of us was happily combing through the items, hoping to find more good deals! The $300 bill was down to $105! Haha.. so shiok. Thanks GSS!
After that, we went to the MayDay Concert. Was not reali expecting much initially. We bought the cheapest tier of tix, how involved can we get, aiya... But no lo, it totally blew us up! When the lights begin to dim, everyone started to scream and held up their light sticks in their hand. Waving and waiting in anticipation for the band to appear. Although we were a distance from the stage, we felt the warmth of the fans. Soon, the whole concert hall were all standing up, some even on their chairs. The band soon got everyone breathless with their famous rocks and raps. I tell ya, I always thot locals like to act cool and doesn’t participant much in such events (I've been to some real lousy ones) but I was so pleasantly surprised by this crowd! We reali enjoyed ourselves a lot. We all sang and swing along. And for that 3 hrs, my headache was gone, my nose stops running and i was naturally cured by my high spirit!
then on Sunday morning, I thot I shd spend more time with family, so I brought pa, ma & sis for dim-sum buffet at Dragon Gate. We had a feast. It's been a while since we eat out. Afterwich, we went for movie. Watch Pirates. It's getting a little too complicated I think.
Then Monday, I was not well already. The coughing got worse and I was getting weaker. But I need to meet M and Amy for dinner. We felt we need to tok to her, just the 3 of us. So, we had dinner at Black Angus, Fullerton. U knw wat. This is the killer! We ordered the Sampler cocktail, a big onion loaf and buffalo wings. Dessert was too-huge-for-one pax cheese cake and the yummy mud pie. The dinner was good. But aft all tht fried and heaty food, I was knock down the nex morning.
Supposed to meet my poly classmates for dinner on Tuesday, but KM & Stephen cant make it las min, I was reali not well too, so it got postponed. I struggle thru to late afternoon, then I pack my bad and headed for Doc. She gave me 2 days Mc. I was back in Office on Thursday, but I was reali sick. I was worried that I spread it to my colleagues too. The med din help much, and Antibiotics makes me even more miserable, so I stopped taking it aft 2 times. Even my left ear was blocked. I then went to Eu Yan San clinic instead.
I've nv been so feeble that I cant even finish half a bowl of porridge. Daily routine was just taking med, sleep, take some food and med again. The nite sleep was horrible too - I got these constant piercing pains in my ear, in my head and even in my jaw. I cant sleep at all.
I wonder, I'm just going thru a bad flu, wat wld those with more serious illness go thru? Health is important. I have my dear parents to take care of me when I fell sick. They were busy whole day boiling herbal tea, making juices for cooling, buying pills and oilments that will sooth my cough. What wld happen to my friends who stayed alone, or ppl without close ones ard them to take care of them? It's even more difficult for lonely old folks who faced the 4 walls by themselves. Gosh...
I'm pretty much well now, as u can see, I can blog so much already :) Although my ears are still blocked and my head a little heavy. Folks, do take care of yourselves, and extend care and concern if ur friend need your help... bye!
oh... and Soo has given birth on 6 June 07 to a healthy baby boy! =)
