Happy 2013!

Didn't do much over Christmas or New Year's as I was down with a cold and cough.  It was so bad, I saw 2 different western physicians, the first gave me medicine that didn't work, the second prescribed antibiotics and cough syrups (2! the phlegm was so scary I needed two different cough mixtures) that sort of eased the night coughing bouts but didn't quite stop me from coughing out my lungs in the day.  Desperate times call for desperate measures so I finally bit the bullet and bought some super expensive Chinese medicine that is "chopped, stamped, guaranteed" to cure me in 3 days.  It's been 3 days.  The medicine has really cured most of my extremely phlegmy cough, although not entirely.  I would say I'm almost 80% well after a 3-day course.  I should walk back to Eu Yan Sang and tell the lady she needs to stop peddling this medicine like some magic cure.  Admittedly, they are very effective, I felt better the next morning after taking the first dose the night before.  But be warned, they come in these small bottles of mustard green powder, almost like macha/green tea powder, but it tasted so bitter I had to always psycho myself before I gulped it down. Oh, and according to the ladies that sold me this medicine, I was not allowed any consumption of chicken meat or eggs.  

So as I was saying, 2013 didn't start off too well for me because of health reasons.  BUT, I'm now 80% well, so that's good news.  I have 3 days left to my first KTV session with the gals at Kbox Marina Square on Friday night before flying off to Okinawa early Saturday morning.  I need to get well in 3 days.  I must.  I will.  Please please please let me get well by Friday.

3.5 more working days. my mind is on holiday! last evening's kickboxing class totally killed me! i huffed and puffed and threatened to punch my imaginary opponent senseless, but in the end, it was i that suffered, not the air molecules that got knocked around. my body is aching like a 90-year-old who's just completed 100 push-ups. i couldn't sleep last night because of the pain. i had to wake hao-e up to massage my shoulder-blades which were so sore and is still kicking up a ruckus behind me. my gosh! i tis old and feeble.

Back Safe and Sound

This is my first post since we left Bermuda for Singapore more than 3 weeks ago. We are battling serious jet lag this time. it might be the age-factor (yikes!) or because we didn't rest properly on the flights (yes plural!) back cos we were busy trying to exhaust all the new movies on krisworld, or maybe a combination of both lah. but both of us have been trying very hard to keep awake at 3pm. yes, the sleep monster strikes at that hour! thank God we are going to remove time saving tonight, so we have 1 less hour to correct this weekend. talking about movies, twilight was amazingly easy on the eye! although i hesitate to call ourselves twilight converts given that i was highly skeptical at first. but the eye candy in the form of Rob Pattersin/Edward Cullen is really irresistible (did you know Rob Pattersin was Cedric in Harry Potter??) .... argh. i wanna get bitten by this vamp too lor! BITE ME! Hao-e even bought New Moon (the sequal) to read this weekend and i spent almost ...
