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!

walking in the woods...

i was watching a tv show just now when i heard this description of love.. "love is like walking in the woods. some people fall in love with the 1st tree that they see, but there are people who cannot decide which tree they prefer. in the end, these people walk out of the woods alone, without finding any tree that they love". i find it quite meaningful. the woods may be big, but some people do manage to find a tree that they love. some people fall in love with the 1st tree that they see and it stays that way forever. some.. walk through the whole woods but due to indecisiveness, are not able to find any tree that they love coz they have either missed the chance n it's too late to turn back or they might have given up the chance. will they regret? some people do but some people don't. there's always 2 sides to a coin, isn't it? some people might have walked into the woods, found a tree that they loved n lost but yet found another tree to stay together wit

Rumour

Went to a club at Clarke Quay last nite called Rumour with the regulars from Instinct. The club is kinda like Dragonfly but the music is not as good, the live band and singers were also not that good. The lead singer who is supposedly the most handsome has got a whiney voice when he sings. Shudders.. Think I still prefer DF anytime, any day. Reached home at 6 and slept at 6.30am.. Tiring.. I have been pubbing and clubbing 6 nites in a row.. Think I need to cut down and relax a bit. But, drinking is a form of relaxation coz I get to talk to friends and enjoy. :p Had a chat with Mingjie (another regular at Instinct) last nite. He truly impressed me by wooing the same girl for 7 years! He knew her 10 years ago, got together for 3 years, broke up and tried wooing her back for 7 years. It's truly fascinating. I'm amazed and at the same time, envious. No guy have ever wooed me for so long.. All just want me to be their gf within days or weeks. Any longer, they give up or pressure me

disappointed n jer's departure...

been a little disappointed with friends.. the term 'friends'.. what does it actually mean? someone u can talk to, someone who will be there for u? how many people can do that for a long time? i'm not very sure but i used to try n keep it contact with close friends in the past. i did all i could to stay in touch n find out what's going on in their lives so that our friendship can stay strong. however, that wasn't the case. 1 fine day, i finally decided to stop taking the initiative to remain in contact with them n the result was, they didn't bother either. what happened to the friendship between us? i'm not sure. but it takes 2 hands to clap n i don't understand y i always have to be the one who makes it happen. i've lost many friends coz of that. upset.. of coz i was. i've always treasured friendships but i don't see the point of hanging on if the friendship is so 1-sided. disappointed.. i've always believed that to be friends, we have to
