Sunday Lunch with TP Friends!

January 4, 2009 Leave a comment

 

April and Dorothy (our 32nd and 33rd visitors) are in town and Danielle organised a mini TP-Gathering (in fact, we met twice) in Hong Kong. Elkan got the best of the world – he, as usual, terrorised the "pretty girls" and kept them occupied for hours! And yes, he made Eric happy first before holding Dorothy’s hand.

Recovery

January 2, 2009 2 Comments

After 2 days of attempting "self-heal", I gave up and headed for the doctor (after much nagging from the people in the house). It was a lousy feeling. I thought I could overcome this "normal fever" (er…..until it hit a constant 39 today) by drinking lots of water and fruits and taking regular Panadol. I never like taking anti-biotic, that is why I refused to see the doctor. But it was so bad this afternoon that I have to leave work early for home to seek help. (Just in time, my Admin Manager passed me the 2009 AIA Clinical Card this morning!)

The bad fever or bodyache isn’t due to birdflu or the common cold (and it got nothing to do with the Korean Trip too!). It is "Tonsillitis" – an old enemy since teenage days. Consistently, this enemy will knock on my doors every Feb, May and Sept. But since the last 3 years, he hasn’t come back to haunt me this much. To seriously get rid of him is to go for surgery to remove him for good. But then, I need him too – cos the tonsils act as part of the immune system to help protect against infection. In particular, they are believed to be involved in helping fight off pharyngeal and upper respiratory tract infections. (Okay, I plucked the last line from the net…haaa)

I should be well again over the weekend…since I am not doing "self-heal". Darn, I should have done that 2 days ago (when it was still a good 37s)!

TALK ABOUT LOVE – There is never a better way to start the 1st blog of 2009. It is indeed a great way celebraing 2009, having all my friends’ wishes here. It was a simple idea and calls were made across the globe – to Shanghai, Beijing, Jakarta, Venice and Singapore. Took me only 20 minutes to verbalise the idea to all of you. Best of all, you guys were just so sporting! Thanks for your efforts, creativity and time to do this for me! Great new year spirit and I do enjoy this togetherness and unity! As promised, this is what you want for 2009! May your dreams come true! Enjoy the pixs! (For those who want to send me "your want", please email your pix to my hotmail! More wishes to come in the next days).

p/s (Man, I am down with a lousy fever and bodyache for 2 days liao.. .hope it is not some birdflu)
