Downtown Houston

Here are some photos of downtown Houston. This was taken on the day when I arrived. Saturday 19th of February 2005.

When I arrived, I called a colleague who was already there for 1 week. Just took a quick shower and headed out. Unfortunately, it was Sat and downtown is dead. Nothing is opened. By the time we went out was about 4pm. Anyways, we went to the aquarium and there was a small little park just oppostie the aquarium.


Park at Downtown . There is a small (looks like monsoon drain) river or so running thru. ... i dunno!!! Not from houston. Pretty romantic place dont' you think??


Aquarium at Downtown. Abit weird that we didn't find out the entrance fees on USD8 is just to view the fishes in the aquarium. My colleague thought that includes the rides besides it. hahah. Anyways.. too big for rides don't you think??

Well, i have more pictures but takes time leh. Coz this hello thingy allows one picture to one blog. And this edit and copy and paste takes time :)

so some preview first.

Rhinitis and me

Alrighty... my good friend Rhinitis has been giving me problems of late.

Who is this Rhinitis? Well, its that stupid friend that gives me stuffed up nose more often than not. Its a real pain in the !@*#!*@#*!(@&#. I have been having this nose block problem since young but lately since I touched the Big THREE O. Its been worse. I guess in a way, everything gets worse with age.

I have already called it sinus blablbalabla. Then one day, I was describing to the dr, and he told me its called sensitive nose. Alrighty.. a new term. Then I went on to see other drs in the future. Then I told them, do you have any problems.. I will yes sinus. how bad is it? is the very question each of them will ask. then I would say, well the other dr said its sensitive nose. Then he said, " actually the right term for that is Rhinitis". Whatever....

I cannot remember having this constant nose block. Most of the time, the nasal congestion is pretty bad. I can barely breathe freely. Then i started to hate flying coz it cause me really pain in the ear and head when I fly. I resorted to taking lots of nasal decongestion medication. About 1 year plus ago, I had such bad sinus infection that I was on MC for 10 blinking days.. Imagine that. i definitely do not want to go back to that day.

But a dr, told me that even if I were to go for surgery, it won't be guaranteed that it will be cured for life. Sucks huh.

Looks like I am stuck with my good friend, Rhinitis. A friend that gives me hard of breathing sometimes at the cinema, or whenI am having facial, or any place where suddenly I feel lack of air, and i start breathing really really hard. Its scary. I have once left a cinema in a hurry coz i felt the walls was coming in on me and I couldn't breathe. I left just like that to go outside where the air was circulating abit better.

Terrible huh. When I was in Houston, it was slightly better. There were days that it was totally clear and I could breathe and smell freely. Gosh it felt really really nice.

Hopefully, I will be able to find a traditional cure that can alleviate this suffering....

p/s i know I am still guitly of posting entries on my houston trip. hehe. Guilty as charged. Haven't done nuts yet.

Toyota Center - Houston

Toyota Center - Houston


Alrighty!!! It works. Figured out how to post from hello to my blog. Well, ringgit, doesn't need to have the same exact ID.

The above is the Toyota Center, there's where I watched the Houston- Rockets Vs Seattle- Sonic game. This picture was taken from my collegue's office room. not bad huh. Nice view and all.

Sorry I hven't been really up to do doing anything really. And yesterday's team meeting really put me really really extremely down.

hopefully this weekend I am up to at least journaling down my trip.
