The stupid flu bug caught me today..This morning, K dropped me off at Breadtalk opposite my office to buy some bread for my breakfast.. i did not really have dinner the night before (just an apple and gazillion litres of water!), so i was literally starving..
When i reached the office, i started to gobble down my hot dog bun and a cuppa hot milo while clearing what little emails i had.. i was looking forward to the dinner and night of partying at Zouk with my colleagues tonight.. about an hour later, i started to sneeze couple of time.. at first i thought it was just the normal sneeze. However, when i started to sneeze continuously and had to go to the toilet to clear my running nose, i knew this was not gonna be good.. that was about 15 minutes to noon: lunchtime.
As there weren't any people to lunch with (either because they are going to places where i am not keen, or they were eating with their bosses), i decided to call K to see if he wanted to meet me for lunch.. Coincidentally, he was meeting F for lunch at Suntec city, so i decided to join them. At that time, i needed desperately to get out of the air conditioning that was giving my nose hell.
I took a 30 minute bus ride to Suntec and met up with K and F at Subway.. i didn't felt like eating Subway so K and I sat there and chatted with F instead while she ate.. we discussed about our Perth trip in October and the places of interest we would be going. At about 1pm, F had to go back to the office, so K and I went to search for a place for lunch.. I was starting to feel a little drowsy by then, and the nose was still running because i was in an air conditioned mall..
Eventually, K brought me to this porridge buffet place for lunch.. just what i needed: something hot and liquid for a sick girl! = ) The food was not very yummy but it was relatively cheap.. i kinda felt better after the porridge buffet, but still didn't feel like i was fit to go back to the office to work. So i decided to go home and get some rest.. That meant i had to tell my colleagues that i couldn't join them for dinner and partying.. I was really reluctant to do that, mainly because i had been the one to organize the gathering tonight. But also because i had wanted to go! But i knew i couldn't survive if i went in my sickly condition. K sent me home after lunch, he had packed his stuff so he could work from home.. when i reached home, i took some flu medication and went to sleep for the next 4 hours!
Woke up feeling slightly better but still weak, i got an sms from one of my colleagues informing that the dinner and partying had been postponed to next week.. i really hope my colleagues don't think i am taking revenge by pretending to be sick at the last minute! = (
K had a dinner appointment with his friends tonight, so i packed dinner home: my favourite fried noodles and honey lemon pearl bubble green tea! Watched the final disc of "24".. fantastic ending.. the stupid US President finally got brought to justice!
Tomorrow morning, K and I will be checking into York hotel.. my mother in law has arranged one night free accomodation for us; and in the evening, i will be having dinner with my college classmates and teacher to celebrate Teacher's Day.. it's been along time since we met, wonder how they all are now.. looks like it will be a relaxing but interesting weekend!
