Wrong Medication
Unbelievably, I've been on medical leave for 4 days. In June, I was on medical leave for a whole week due to pharynghitis. Not a particularly healthy year for me for sure. Gotta move my arse to keep fit and healthy from now on. Can't be slack anymore for the sake of my own health.
Sigh.. But what's the point of taking medical leave when I've been working from home everyday? :( Especially today, I was online the whole day working. How depressing. Is my work really more important than my own life and health? Hmmmm...
I think I could have recovered faster if I had gone to see my usual doctor on Monday rather than to the clinic opposite my house. But I was too sick to go so far to see my usual doctor (her clinic is near my office area). So I went to the doctor opposite my house who is normally not that bad either. Little did I know that this time, he wasn't too good! :(
With fever and flu and telling him that I can't sleep much at night due to the blocked nose and painful body, he said he would prescribe me medicine that can make me drowsy and sleep. And he wanted to give me medical leave for Monday only! Luckily I asked for another day's medical leave just in case coz I still couldn't sleep on Monday night after the medication and my fever still didn't subside.
So on Wednesday when my medical leave ran out and I still couldn't sleep on Tuesday night, I dragged myself to work feeling really awful. Was chased home by my boss in office so I decided to pay a visit to my usual doctor. After showing her the medication from the other doctor, she told me that the flu medication prescribed to me was to keep me alert and awake!!! No wonder I couldn't sleep for 3 nights and felt sooooo awful!!!
Thank goodness I decided to go to another doctor or I would still be feeling shitty right now. I finally managed to sleep through the night yesterday and I feel so much better now. Phew.. So it's back to work tomorrow and I'm gonna have an early night tonight. :) Hooray to being back to normal soon!

Moral of My Life Story
I have come to realize the moral of my life story. And what is that?
Moral of my life story: NEVER EVER gain weight else suffering starts! Why do I say that? Seems like everytime I put on weight, I start falling sick.. This is the 3rd time this year I think, and the umpteenth time over the last 4 years since I knew Eeyore. I blame it on him for making me fat and hence I fall sick. Hehe.
But it's true!! I really can't put on weight. It happens everytime and it sucks! I end up suffering from some weird illness/sickness and it's horrible and dreadful. Aching bones, sleepless nights, heavy pounding head. I'm just glad all these pains over the last 2 days have now been converted into a blocked nasal passage and sore throat. Not that I prefer having blocked nose or sore throat but those are more bearable than all the other symptoms.
Just like my colleague WL asked.. Sore throat again? Yeah.. The throat has been naughty these days. I have a feeling I'm too heaty as usual. But then again, I keep having tummy cramps which means I'm too cooling. Sigh.. Me and my confused body as always. Messed up everywhere.
So much for my exercise plans - fell sick since weekend and hence didn't move my butt at all again. Doubt I can go for a run this week as the nose is blocked and I don't wanna faint on the streets. Haha. So in order not to put on weight, I really need to start exercising and keeping fit. :(

Fat Me!
I know I ought to be more diligent and hardworking in updating my blog but honestly, it's getting tough. Been busy these days and losing focus. Was online booking test deals earlier and that's the 1st time I use my laptop in a few months - so unlike me to neglect my laptop.
Worse of all, I have been neglecting my own weight. Been feeling like a lump of fats but not doing anything about it. I see my ugly double chin daily and hate looking at myself. I feel the fats wobbling on my thighs and yet, I'm still turning a blind eye to it. I keep telling myself I have to start moving and yet, my brain is definitely not taking control of my body. Sigh..
Had drinks with Charles last night - we had a good talk about work and sports. Work wise, he's always been there as a good "teacher". I always message him at work when I don't understand what is the lingo used, what is needed to be done even when he's not in the same company now. He's very helpful and willing to teach and I remember the days I sat next to him at work trying to comprehend the wide world of trading. Pity the one I can sit and learn from is no longer with the company. And he's definitely the only one who keeps in touch with me the most after he has been retrenched. *touched*
And there he was last night at drinks, trying to motivate me to get my arse moving and losing some of my fats. I made a deal with him, sealed it with a handshake and I'm still not moving yet. Die.. How can I be so lazy?? I used to love sports.. I went to Cedar coz it was a sports oriented school. I've never complained about the twice weekly morning runs, the PEs and I look forward to ALL the days when we had running. Now.. I'm just a blob of fat refusing to move. BLAHH!!!
Not gonna be a long post - Gotta drag Eeyore to go with me to collect my new glasses and maybe catch a movie. Tomorrow.. I'll make sure I start moving my big fat arse. I MUST!!!

The Last Person Who Interviewed Me
Yet another sad day - the big retrenchment project is in play again. Today, Chris was asked to go. He's the last person in the group who interviewed me for my current role to go.. Charles, Jacko, Chris were asked to go. Thomas changed role last year, Ppal didn't wanna manage any more teams, Rodders left on his own. 6 people interviewed me.. And now... Maybe I jinxed all of them? :(
I heard about the new changes - I'm happy for Si who can work in singapore now. But I still feel bad for Chris.. Nothing stays the same forever. Jacko told me I should leave soon too. I really dunno.. With markets like this, it's tougher than anyone can imagine. Plus I'm still gunning for my long overdue promotion which I will only find out about the results in dec.
Only time will tell.. Til then, I wish Chris all the best - I know we will always be in touch and I'm sure I'll pop by his place soon enough to play with his uber cutie daughter and little doggie. I'll miss having him pop round to my desk to chat with me when he's bored or to pinch my food though.. :(
