This is my 23556312th time logging into blogger account this week, but not blogging any entry.
Why? I don't know too? Probably because i spent most of my time at home, so there's no entertainment pictures for viewing pleasures. hahas. Or rather i'm not doing anything productive unless you wana see pictures of how i settle me family's dinner or lunchhh! HAHA. Simple meals for simple pleasures. But then again, after i've ended the contract on 30th June, i think i've spent about 2/3 of the time at home, facing the computer, either watching j/kdramas, or checking out blogshops or just lazying around. And the remaining time of 1/2 of the remaining 1/3, will be spend mostly with JINGYING! ahahs, finding supplies for our blogshop! Oyay! WE'VE JUST OPENED ONE VERY RECENTLY. http://missarella.livejournal.com/
But i've finally moved my ass on Wednesday to decide my next route in life after that 2 disappointing letters in June and July. I simply can't believe in depending on my Diploma alone for the rest of my life. I've got to do something since (almost) everyone i know are either leaving the country to further/doing part-time/got into their choice of versity. I've also learnt that im too late for the current intake but im ok with the jan's one after all in the meantime my new job will start in September and i've got to learn the ropes quick :) Yay! Its in an advertising firm! Woohooo~ Nevermind the fact that i'll be starting as an intern, as long as it's related to my area of interest. Thanks Rachel! Also luckily, i went out to 'survey' on Wednesday cos the deadline for the course is the end of this month which leaves me with another week to ponder. But noooo! HAHA! That night, immediately i explained my choice between the two to my mom and she also agreed, so she wrote me a cheque for the registration fees and hurried me to fill up the application form and hand it back the next day. :)
However when Thursday came, the consultant was on MC, so in the end Jingying and i did our customer's request and ta-da! Posted the item at SingPost. So handed the cheque and application form yesterday lo. When the acceptance letter comes in around 2-3 weeks' time, then i'll tell you which versity/course/major i've decided to take. But for all i know now, year 2009 will be a hectic one :)
That's about all for work/studies. Now about myselffff. Like the title suggested, i'm sick, down with the weather. I guess the cause of it all was on Wednesday 'cos it was so sunnnnnny that day when i went out to do my 'survey'. And the places i went to was sooo air-conditioned. It's like when i'm out in the opened, i'm sweating like a pig, when i stepped into those places, i'm felt chilly. So my body temperature kinda went up and down, unable to adapt to the various temperatures. This is how i've gotten a cold. When it came to the night, it kinda worsen and i think my throat got infected too 'cos i've got a hard time swallowing stuffs. ENT what. hahas. What's worse is that i can't find adult medication for cold in the fridge, only found one packet of yellow tablets dated in year 2003. What to do? Since i was feeling already terrible i took it, thinking it will still work. Who knows, it ended up working like an alarm clock in my body, causing me to wake up every 2 hours to clear my nose. AHH. So irritating but i still went out on thursday in this condition, thinking that the consultant will be in office and hoping to quickly hand in my application form. But she was on MC like i've mentioned earlier. Nevermind that after all did something fruitful, fulfil our customer's request. hehe. Thursday's weather however was so unexpected. It kept raining like passing raining, then shone again like never before. I guess this is how my cold and sore throat got worse. So this night, I took the yellow tablet again, praying it will work. But still it didn't. I still woke up at an unearthly hour of 2 and 4.30 am. In the end i could no longer tahan, i think it was a combo set, flu and sore throat and a little temperature running cos i was feelin warm already. Took the ice-bag and dug the medication compartment in the fridge and found my brother's liquid medicines dated in March earlier this year. So i took double the instructed dosage ('cos the instructions was written for a 12 y/o but im almost double his age so double lo) and found myself sleeping well until around noon. When i wake up, no longer warm and was feeling much better than thursday i thought, but my voice changed and i've developed wet cough (those with pheglm) ahh. But still i went out. My priority is the versity application, so no matter what's stopping me, i still have to make a trip down. Friday's (yesterday) weather was also a terror. Caught a tiny little bit in the drizzle and then into those air-conditioned places, felt like winter. It worsen, on the bus back was having headache, and immediately went to bed when i reached home. After 1 hours of tossing in bed, i can't seem to sleep, felt warm again but when i switched the fan to a higher blast, im too cold, switched it off, im too warm, temperature running huh. When i lie down, my headache is gone, when i sit/ stand up, its back. Give in and ate panadol and my brother's flu medicine, double dose again and went to bed again at 10. Tossed around for quite awhile and finally slept very soundly until noon this afternoon.
Better now, still with flu and wet cough, so that makes me not feel like talking. As im typing this, tissue papers are piling up on the floor. The weather has not changed since i woke up. Dizzle and dizzle and dizzle, it makes a nice atmosphere to sleep in. But i can't sleep anymore. Had almost 14 hours of sleep last night, if i were to sleep more now, i wouldn't be able to do so tonight. ahhas. But yes, i'm going to stay in today and not go anywhere under this weather, otherwise i think my condition will get worse again. (But i've a ticket to attend Jacelyn's dance preformance later at 8pm!!! how?)
