Resume to normal

Plunge back from high life to the normal work-life days in Singapore for just three hours have already made me feel lonely and sad. I miss the boys and the old days and a lot of other things. I could not even sleep well last night since I knew they were leaving and I was feeling dismal. Ai~~~ I wish I could have a better health to spend a better quality time with them. Resume to normal life, but will it be normal again?

Play, play, play and more play

Once we get together, we play hard and find all sorts of entertainment / activities to devote our energy, money and youth to. Imagine four people stacking on a single bed for the night of sleep, eating roti at 3am, dancing non-stop, dining at posh restaurants, buying ice cream from street push cars, and …In the last three weeks, I have done more than I did in the past 5 months, which is not a surprise at all in this “no-daylight” working culture.

I am not sure if Singapore comes into the Monsoon season, it rains for days. The office central air-conditioning system is an absolutely stupid machine which turns the whole building into a freezer, our colleagues one sick after another. A girl with low immune as me could definitely not be excepted; I have been coughing and shivering for three days till the alcohol cure last night. A strong personality and rigid attitude outside, I am fragile inside with a weak physical status that has been destroyed by six months of anti-biotic. Like K said, “250 days of sick days”. Boost up girl, for the sake of next year’s two-month south America trip.

Heaven in Singapore

The past one week was like a heaven to me: jumping into crystal clear water, sleeping with soothing waves, walking around aimlessly, meeting no deadlines for own schedule, partying in all famous Singapore night spots, eating different Asian flavors, etc…Most importantly, seeing my old friends again after suffering work and work and work in Singapore for six months. I feel like going back to the old days in Melbourne, done my work then go dancing / partying. Maybe those days are blessing for my sickness. Well, I am just being too determine to test myself beyond the comfort zone in a peaceful city with no mindset on Money. Back to the “happy stupid pig and oppressed smart entrepreneur” story, which one can not be both.

Another six months to look forward to for the Penang trip. “That is what I am asking for”, a peg for me to stay.

Embargo

Can’t you understand “embargo”? If no, then please get a job outside of the media landscape. I am extremely pissed off today since a tabloid newspaper totally ignore our warning of “embargo” and had the story out today, before our scheduled media conference on Saturday. I was upset and furious with this Chinese tabloid and almost yelled at its editor, as she was giving me “the news is out I can do nothing” kind of attitude and saying “I will assign a journalist to the media conference” to give you extra coverage. I am like “Hello! I am not only working with your publication, dumb axx.” That is media, we can do nothing but accept the apologise from another editor and swallow the news ourselves.

I have been working till 10pm+ latterly because I want to get everything done before Friday so I could go to the airport to greet K. If I want to leave early before the event day, this is the price I have to pay.

Bone fracture

Another punishment for my shopping spree – my card can not be used via the MasterCard terminal. Either is the shop’s fault or the card magnate’s fault, after four attempts in four different outlets, the answer is more than obvious. I have to apply for a new card again! Phew~~~

I went for an X-ray for my right ankle today. Since the foot massage boy told me that my two ankles are different - my right one is obviously swollen – I have been wary and suspecting pain from that swollen little lump. I finally made up my mind to go see a doctor and have the X-ray developed. Unfortunately, bad news again. My right ankle has a fracture bone which was caused from my fall from a kerb six years back. That was three weeks before I due to leave home to Melbourne and could not attend to the wound and wait for it to be fully recovered. “There is nothing we can do now.” told by the doctor. Pain in the ankle during rainy seasons in my older years is unavoidable. I could only absorb more calcium to build up my bone density to avoid further fractures in the future.

My back was feeling a bit pain recently, due to the fact that I have been sitting for long hours without stretching. I then bought a Watsons massager at the discounted price $20 to neutralise my pains. After being banged on my neck for 10 min, I am feeling my pain today. I figure out it may cause by the rigorous trundle on my back that has hurt my nerves instead of my muscle. Poor me, ankle fracture plus neck pain in one day.
