It Ain't Fun Being Sick

3 consecutive days, continuously sick.
Running nose, constant sweating, sore throat, swollen eyes and off and on headache.
Yet I would never skip work just like that. Though I try and rest when I can before work.
The main reason - Applying for leave for the Singapore trip to watch Paramore live!
If I skip too often, I might not be able to be granted leave, or not being able to organise the overtime days properly...
Or to fear the worst... SALARY CUT!
I've sacrificed a lot to watch Paramore. Once in a lifetime opportunity.
Especially before the SPM results are released. God knows what will happen to my life if my results are bad.
Probably will go on labour for good :P
That's why I just wanna enjoy like mad before that :D

I personally like to live a normal life, even when I'm sick.
I'm tired of staying at home all the time besides work hours.
So... went to Jusco... again.
Destination: Sushi King... again.
Main food: KOEBI (Sea water prawns)... again.
But I did grab a few things from the moving belt.
There was one thing - the first thing I took from the belt
There were tiny bones in it!
One bone entered my throat, had discomfort swallowing anything else.
The FREE green tea helped me :D
Although I had to use up to 7 pieces of tissues, due to the irritating running nose.

Was walking later, and was half-hoping to see Geraldine working at Starbucks.
Turns out she wasn't there. Anyway I won't order anything from Starbucks with my cold, so it's alright.
Saw Adrian and Savita while walking, but didn't want to disturb them for too long.
Went to Old Town White Coffee, and had something light.
I found my favourite drink there - Hot Honey Lemon juice!
Tastes lovely, and good for my cough too.
I'll insist on coming here all the time in future. And drink the same thing.
Bought loads of Lemon Tea bags, some lozenges and yogurt. All for health reasons.
Nothing left to do in Jusco, nobody also, I decided to go have a light dinner at Coffee Mug.
Went there because I'm guaranteed a discount :D
Love the food there too :D. But I was very full, although I just had an appetizer.
During my work days, I'll be always eating at Coffee Mug. I'm always thinking when I'm serving, "Damn, that looks good" :D. So better to eat there for now, especially with the discount :D

Oh yeah, one more thing, when I reached Jusco I was searching for parking. Roof area was closed, so I would have to rely on luck to find a parking space.
When I found one, I was going "YEEEAAAHHH!!!!" and then suddenly, 'involuntarily' singing "Celebrate good times, come on!" (If you recognise it)
I was still singing it softly, even when I got out of the car, then walking, this was exactly what I said:
"Celebrate good times, come on... DAMN! I almost got hit by a car!" :P
Later on, while walking back, then I realised - Ugh... I forgot to take out my parking ticket again!
Had to walk all the way back to the car to take it, and walk all the back to the autopay machine.
I very rarely curse, but when I grabbed my ticket out of my car, I actually said f***ing ticket.
Better for me not to forget next time... :P
