It Came And Went.... in a Jiffy....

Firstly, Gong Xi Fa Cai. I am hokkien lah. So its not Kung Hei FaTT Choy .... for me.

About a week ago, I was so excited to have a week off work, and had only needed to take 3 days off. Unfortunately, I don't know what I did with my time and now I am already in my 3rd day of my extra leave. I hardly went out. Most of the time its at home binging on food esp cookies. I only went out on Wed to meet up with some friends from secondary school. Most of them had up and left this good old country. And i think the conversation went along the line, when would my turn be. Of course, i am not able to reveal my secret which only very few people know as I don't want to hear the drones of "what a waste" , "... you should have". To me its bygone. There are days which I do think about it but its becoming more and more minimal. I believe its the age factor that has lead me to be more appreciative of things I have now. It may not be a lot but its sure much more than some other more unfortunate people out there.

Hmm.. recalling back, I would say that I have been watching my dwnload series of Ugly Betty Season 3. Which is so awesome. Yeah I was once like here, with braces and all.. probably still ike her in the fashion sense.

Also, I would say this year's ang pow loot is much less than last year but then again times are bad. At least people are still giving.

The only so called bizzare thing that happened was, my dad had food poisoning and was very stubborn not to see the dr. Even with the tummy problems, he whacked all the sambal sotong, curry, acar, etc which my mom made. On the second day, in the morning, I saw him taking some medication, and obviously I asked him, still having "lau sai" ( translation - diareahea). I was shocked to hear the words from his mouth. He said " Someone trying to poison me, better purge till i die" Hmm.. very uncalled for statement. But seeing he is under stress from his condition, I just said , its not a good thing to say during CNY.

Other than that, its been great just hibernating.. doing nothing.. and praying for a better week next week when I head back to work. I have loads to do at the office but as per my philosophy on work, I shall not switch on my laptop when at home.... :D Then again u know I have to bring down my Hypertension - High BP status which hasn't improve at all.
