Viral & Germs Outbreak!

Been out for the weekend from a very bad state. Ran a 37.9 degrees fever (which I'm pretty sure was much higher before I reached the doc's like sweating pig), caught a flu (still recovering), had a cough (now with phlegm) and developed a sore throat (just recovered). Luckily 'cause I had to start work today at CommunicAsia. Stood for hours in the air-conditioned exhibition hall registration area. If I hadn't recovered enough I'll probably see myself fainted in less than a couple of hours. But my poor darling wasn't so lucky. He caught my virus and is running a 38.5 degrees fever now. Hope he's resting well now. Not even in the mood to watch soccer now. Feel so bad. He took care of me over the weekend while I was in hall. Took me to see the doctor's, made sure I ate my medicine and slept early, and now he's sick and I can't be there to take care of him. bOOhOo!!! I feel terrible. Sorry dear... You could have been working too but I had to pass you my virus. Hope you get well soon. I'll look for you on friday after work officially ends. I'd better rest too, work continues tomorrow.

World Cup fever

Just finished watching my 2nd World Cup match for 2006. England vs Trinidad & Tobago. Been a very pekcek match until the last 10 mins where Crouch (probably to redeem his lousy performance for most of the match) and Gerrard (simply beautiful) scored. But really the person that caught my eye was Beckham. Very reliable player. No outstanding performance but always there and steady. Quoted from someone, He's in Real Madrid. He has to be good. Even if he's not he will be forced to be. Too many good player on a team that being good is just being the norm. Whatever the case the last 10 mins made the match worth it to watch. If not I'll be complaining here more than praising the players. The people I'll curse most is probably Crouch and especially Lampard. Lampard is so disappointing today. So many off-target shots. If not for your pretty face I would have long condemned you. Crouch saved himself by getting in the first goal, but still it can't beat Gerrard beautiful second which sealed the results at the 91st min. Cheerios to Terry too for the spectacular clearance, without it, England would have been devastated with a scoreboard of 1 down.

Managed to catch the fever thanks to my wonderful antenna in hall that is receiving the indonesian channel SCTV. Despite the bad cold I'm having now, I wouldn't mind catching an extra fever to go along. Long live the beautiful game!

Playing A Game Called Pretend

Saw the euphonium on tuesday afternoon. Exorbitant prices. Really. Saw one that cost 8k! Supposed to be the newest of the three displayed and mind you there is a newer one not available there! Phew! Goodness, I wondering how long I'll take to save up enough to get a decent one for him, years probably looking at the way I spend. BUT! I'll still try. Wich me luck!

Anyway before that we went for lunch at Tanjong Pagar Food Centre. Not bad la, just a lot of office crowd. Quite lucky to get an empty table, so managed to do as we planned: Eat peanut ice kacang. Funny thing is he asked if I would be angry that he brought me to such a lok place for lunch. Why would I? Silly boy really. Probably 'cause we're too used to eating at nice, comfy and expensive places, not good, should change. Taken the first step so I guess it would be long before we start spending less on food and more on other stuff. Had some quiet time at Istana Park. Okay it wasn't exactly quiet time, since there was a bunch of workers there at the park building some metal structure thingy that I cant make out. Whatever the case, saw a nice restaurant cum bar there which we both agreed it had nice ambience and decor. Must try it out some time soon. Went for movie after that. <>. The idea of the story is quite fresh, but I just hate the ending. It's like the scriptwriter can't decide and left it hanging there for us to guess. Some open endings are good for certain stories, but I hate it when it's for sad stories. I'm a happy-ever-after kinda person, stories where good guys succeed and bad guys suffer may be cliche but it works well for me. Probably because such scene rarely happens in real life, so why deprive us of these fantasies in our play-pretend world? Actors and actresses are supposed to be what we wish and never could be in the real world, that's why stories like Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter are big hits. Same goes with Love, actually and even adaptations like A Beautiful Mind. This purely because such things rarely and some never will ever happen to us that's why we watch them. We yearn the unattainable, that's human.

Okay, that's enough for tonight. It's time for Ms Think-too-much to get back to her books. French books to be exact. Exams is in less than 11 hours. Better do some last minute struggling, before I go into the exam hall for 2.5 hours of unfamiliar language.

Independence vs Attachment

Late in the night, feel like sleeping but don't want to. It's a case of my body and mind in conflict again. But as usual my mind rules over my suffering body. My face is now covered with pimple cream, whether it works or not is a big mystery, but for the sake of giving myself the excuse of "Yes, I tried salvaging my rotting face", I'll still use it. I'm looking forward to later. Go for my job briefing which equates to money. Go out with my dear which equates to nice lovey-dovey moments (Please try not to puke, jan.) and stress relief.

Need to get him a pair of nice leather shoes. But he probably wouldn't let me pay for them. Ego. MCP thinking. But I'm not complaining, I get driven home for that reason. Suits me. Haha. Talked about him wanting an euphonium (not sure how it's spelt but I think it should be right), slipped my tongue. I wasn't supposed to let him know I have the intention to get it, 'cause I need him to show him which particular model or brand he liked. Darn my big mouth. I bet he'll get suspicious next time I ask him to show me the one he likes, 'cause he already warned me just now not to get it. His reason being that it's too expensive. A good euphonium can well cost a few Ks. Probably that's the reason why he never really got it. Initially wanted to get him a new snooker cue after he broke his during IHG. He was pretty upset, especially after they lost. Sigh. But once again it was a matter of me not knowing how to judge a good cue. Need help!!! Anyone!!! But before I seek help I guess I should work harder on my "Save the Leon" fund. No funding, no surprise. Simple task, just eat less lor, I need to slim down anyway, growing horizontally already.
Come to think of it, my life has pretty much been revolving around him ever since we got together. Is this healthy? Doesn't right? But put it in a good way, it's been more than a year, I guess at least it proves the relationship is still going strong and likely to stay this way. But something he said struck me just now. When I asked if his family liked me, he said his sis kinda expressed she does as she found me more independent and less sticky. Does that mean independent ladies are more appealing in a general sense? Or could it be just a individual sentiment? I was told a while ago by JM that I shouldn't be too clingy, as he feels space should be given. I agree but sometimes I just unwittingly stick to him. I'll work on that. Anyone with any opinions on that please tag or leave me a note. Getting tired. Going to sleep. Nite~.

Sighs

Bad week for me. Why? 1 reason. I buang-ed 2 modules. 7 AUs in total. Sigh. But getting it into my head already, still adjusting to the fact and making plans for the coming semester to make up for the mess-up. Hope things will get better. Sighs.

Felt so lousy just now. Am I really that demanding? Overly possessive? Over-reliant? I don't know but it just felt lousy. No freedom that's what I was told. I guess it's true what my sis said Never invade a man's space. She didn't mean it in this particular context then, just referring to his room literally. Sigh. Bad week. Almost had a heated debate over a unrelated person. Feel so drained sometimes from the sudden change in mood and attitude. I never really scored at the guessing game and it doesn't make anything easier when I'm constantly required to guess his thoughts. Whatever the case, I'll just leave him his space. Let him decide when he has space for me. Sigh.

Reminiscising & staying practical

Bored. What's new? It's been like so for the past month or so. Thought of asking CK & gang out to Sentosa tomorrow but heard from YH that the guys are mostly busy now. Cut that idea. Stayed home played sudoku, went out visited my sis's new place in SengKang and at least I had my dear to accompany for an afternoon. Felt so bad just now, 'cause I made him wait for me for almost an hour at Rivervale Mall (Don't think about going there if you are bored. It'll just make matters worse.) 'cause didn't know my sis would take that long at the flat. Luckily managed to humour him enough to ease the pekcek-ness. Harhar.
Whatever the case, Woody and Buzz will save the day! To infinity and beyond! and There's a snake in my boot! never fails to make me laugh. My favourite animated movie series ever! Long live Toy Story! Makes you wonder maybe there really another world that comes to life when we are not around. Maybe not that outrageous as to cause a chaos on a busy street. But who knows maybe my baby piglet wakes up in the middle of the night and talks to my snoopy bolster? Whatever. I'm too old for this, but still I will never agree to people who say toys are only for kids. We can grow up with them and grow old with them too. It's not about its functionality as a toy anymore but as a memory. I'll never throw out my piglet even if it's all greyish already. It's a birthday gift my sis bought me with her first pay. It's definitely worth the keeps. Toys like my old worn-out basketball which my secondary schoolmates bought me will always stay (even though it's just sitting there unusable already). Photos that have been scribbled on (Thanks to Grace H.) are just some items that serve no practical use other than mementos and of sentimental values. They mark the many friends that came and left footprints (sounds familiar to Joycelyn, Cass & HQ?) in each part of our lives. I like thinking back on old times. Met my girl friends on friday for a chocolate fondue session, felt so good although we see each other less than 10 times a year. Went for a primary school classmate's 21st birthday on saturday, felt nice and warm when her mum came to us remembering us and saying how much we've grown since then. Looking forward to working at CommunicAsia with my council budds in a couple of weeks' time. It's not rare to see me get sentimental and soft whenever I talk of old friends especially meeting up after such a long void. Okay I'll stop it. In case anyone's getting bored and for the sake of those that continued reading after all that korean-drama-styled story-telling.
Been so bored lately I'm clicking on paid-to-click links. See the 3 links there? Those are the websites that offer paid-to-do surveys and paid-to-click/review/promote links. If you are bored enough you can join me, but of course by clicking that you are what they call being my downline. Sounds MLM? Seems like it to me too, but who cares as long as I'm not paying a cent and getting paid for it, I don't care if someone is earning from my clicking as well 'cause I ain't making any loss anyway. Sound so shrewd but that's life. I call it being street-smart, not to get eaten in this very practical world. Screw it. I'm getting back to my sudoku. Ta~.
