Sick and Getting Sicker.....Help!
For the past few days at work, I have the same routine. I would wake up in the middle of the nite due to very bad sore throat, drink something to soothe it then fall asleep. Once its time for work, I'll take my temp and it will read 38 degrees. I'll eat my medicine and go off to work.
So far my illness has not even cleared up slightly... My nose is blocked or running, my throat feels like someone is stabbing it, my cough makes me feel like any moment a piece of lung will come flying out and my head cant decide between dizziness or headache. And I am losing my voice. It sounds very hoarse now due to sore throat n blocked nose.
During work, sometimes I feel 'normal' and functional and the other is 'zombie' mode. My brains are sleepy and cant think amymore. I walked around in a daze, those collegues who see me ALL know that I am sick. Those who didnt would know after they hear my cough and nose-blowing sessions in the office. The irritating thing is that those who had flu and medical leave are recovering, all except me, who seems to be getting worse and worse. For the past week, I'll dash home and rest the entire day but to no avail. Cant even clear my weekly gym quota. My sister kena the flu bug from me and had temp almost hitting 40! Lucky didnt fry her brains.
Today even just teaching 2 periods of lesson was very taxing. Lucky only one period of relief. If another full day, I'd definitely be on ml. Again I warned the classes i went to that I am still recovering and if they give me rubbish, they will get it from me. Had to teach a few some lessons. But lack of voice hardly scary except my fierce looks i reckon.
Wonder how am I going to handle the LONG day tomorrow. Cos there is cca so have to stay until 5.30pm!!!! First if still have temp tonite, see doctor and maybe take mc.... sign

SICK @ WORK
Today went back to work still carrying traces of the flu bug. At first I was alright but after I entered into the office, my head started to trob. During assembly, I had a headache forming and was in a daze. Kept rubbing my temples and mumbling "dun kena relief duty leh..." In the mean time I managed to clear some stuff I owe to 2 other teachers when I took their classes. So I sat there in the Hall nursing my about-to-form headache. Then one collegue noticed and passed me her Tiger Balm. I thanked her and rubbed some onto my forehead, and miraculously I felt better. (maybe I just needed a dose of Tiger Balm)
After assembly, the lady from the office came, carrying the relief duty list. She came straight up to me. "Nah." I peered at the list. My name is down for a P5 class for all the periods except mother tongue, my ex-mentor's class cos he fell ill. It is the best class. Just great, I grumbled to myself. What to do to entertain them? Oh well. I started planning. Err.... last 2 periods dump them into comp lab. First period silent reading. Then still got 4 more periods to tackle. Hmm....
I was still thinking about it when I walked up to the class. There goes my 5 free periods. Luckily there was work for them to do. A collegue passed me some worksheets and homework. Hehehe so i estimated that those will take up 4 periods. Then add 2 periods comp lab, and one last period for something else, can fulfil quota. I sent them up to class and came up with my stuff later.
"Good morning Mr...Ms... Mdm..............!" Great, another class that has not seen me before. Another typical greeting I get. Sign it is not that they cant see my boobs though. Some always try to act funny. Hence the usual, write my name on the whiteboard. At this point, I was not feeling too good cos when I touched my forehead earlier, it was burning. Huh, still feverish. Sign.
I told the class briefly that my mentor was sick and they would be seeing my face for the entire day. AND i added that I just recovered from flu and AM hence VERY IRRITABLE.... that they better behave and NOT try my temper. I also told them that if they do finish the work, after recess I would bring them to the comp lab. They were quite happy it seems.
Hence 4 periods passed peacefully with them doing their work and handing up. Me just walked around and answer any queries from those who raised their hands. In between though, I had to rush up and down to book comp lab, print extra copies of worksheet for some. Luckily by then I seem to have recovered slightly. But my throat still hurts so i tune up my mic to a louder volume.
After recess, brought up the class to the classroom. Then brought the entire class down to comp lab. I let those who didnt finish their work to bring their work down to do in the comp lab. Only when they have finished, are they allowed to surf the Internet. 2 periods passed. Whilst leading them up after the comp lab, I met another P5 class that I took last Thurs and Fri. When they all saw me, I got mass greeting. "Morning, Miss XXX." I nodded my head. Hmm I wondered what did I do to gain their likes? I did scold that class on Fri, last 2 periods.... Maybe its becos of the early recess I gave them. Oh well... The last period I let them have a mass toilet break and allowed them to decorate the classroom for CNY. Finally when the bell rang, it was my break.
Had my lunch and took my medicine. Somehow got rather drowsy. Once the bell rang for school dismissal, I chiong out. Cos I dun wanna hang around waiting for duties to come my way. Had already cleared all my responsibilities for that day. When I reached home, just concus on bed. Now I am having fever. Hope tom would be better.

Flu on Bdae... (kazu o hikimasu)
Great, just to top things up i am down with flu today. On my actual birthday. I think i caught the chills on Sat nite, then Sun evening, I was having bad sore throat and cough. Today i woke up feeling down, lightheadedness, sore throat of the first degree. Hence decided to take mc. This is not good as this is the second mc in a month. Hope i dun fall ill anymore. The last time i had stomach flu and now flu.
So I was sitting in the living room, waiting for 7am to come so that I can call in to the office. Then my Dad woke up. He thought I didnt have to work. I told him I dun feel good, hence going to take mc. He gave me this look and started lecturing me on taking good care of myself and how in my current job, i have the obligation to be more responsible. Have to turn up even when sick. Whilst all this was being lectured to me, I recounted that last week there were a few days where I suffered from stomach flu but yet turned up for work without taking mc. Duh. I just kept quiet and waited for him to switch to the 'window theory'. What is that? Well its his theory that if we dun close the windows when we sleep, due to the morning coldness, it is easy to fall ill. To him, everytime someone falls ill, its cos they didnt close the windows. When he finally finished, i was rather irritated and went into the kitchen to make the call.
Later slept like a log and went to the doctor. I got my medicine and ate it. Read some comics and slept the afternoon away. Its kinda sad that today is my bdae and yet i dun feel good to do anything. I just slept and woke up, slept and woke up, like in a daze and sadly the day is almost over. U know after resting, by right u wake up feeling better. For me, by left, I woke up with a heavy head. I took my temperature, 38.5! That is even higher than before I went to bed at 37.5!!! I dun want to take another mc, cos otherwise afraid that pple tongue might wag. Tom by hook or by crook will go to work. Not to mention got things to settle. Maybe tom for the cca thingy, I excuse myself. See how lah.
Anyway:
Happy Birthday to me.
I am on mc.
I had sore throat and bad cough.
My temp is damn high.
Happy Birthday to me.
I am twenty four.
I spend the day in bed.
Happy.... Birthday to me.

24th Birthday
In a few more days, specifically on Mon 24th Jan, I would be 24 yrs old. Getting older again. This is a special bdae to me cos the 2 numbers coincide and the fact is that I am more or less more settled compared to the past 1.5 years.
I want to be able to start establishing myself and start living the life according to my wishes. So does it mean that I didnt live my life according to my wishes before? No, I guess u cannot always choose the path that u really wanted. Sometimes u decide to take other choices cos the one u are looking at is not accessible. So instead of going all out to pursue your dreams, u take a slighter longer route to go to about it.
With regards to purchasing of material items, I always subscribe to the way of 'deferring immediate enjoyment' in order to enjoy more in the future. For dreams, i guess i am not too sure of what is TRUELY my dream: for one, maybe shaking leg while money rolls in is considered one. The plan for now is that I am prepared to work very hard for the next 10 years. I want to give it my all to build up my financial resources. Unless i have a rich distant relative who died and leave me a huge inheritance, I would have to start saving up.
The job mkt in Spore is getting more brutal, those in the mid thirties, approaching early forties are finding it extremely hard to get re-employed once they lose their jobs. This is the sombre truth. Even if u can show that u are willing to learn, work hard, have experience, u are often discriminated against. Hence as a young worker just starting out, it is imperative to start amassing your own resources and not overspend or lead a life of budget deficit. Many have pointed out that I now am in an industry with 'iron rice-bowl', i beg to differ. The employment landscape is such that all iron rice bowl myths are being broken. Furthermore what use is the iron rice bowl, if u dun manage to set some money aside for your retirement? It doesnt matter what job u are in, dilligently saving up, smart investing are the way to go. No matter how small the amt u put aside monthly, after say 2 years, u have a sum. Once u built up enough 'fat', u can start investing. The first and most difficult step is to amass the resources by saving.

Weekend Galore
Phew... been a hectic week and finally a breather. The glorious weekend is upon us. Definitely the load is getting heavier, with more duties, relief classes and actually teaching, marking, Committee meetings, projects blah blah.... to top it off Jap test is coming. Taihendesune! (sad life)
Teaching and Responsibilities
-Currently given a couple of periods daily to teach. Its good exposure but taxing. I worry abt whether I can deliver. And doing this for all three subjects. Of course marking comes when written work is given. Oh well, will try my best. Though on some days, I feel like jumping into my bed and sleeping for the whole day. Tired, I guess. Hope to build up some endurance asap.
Exercise
-After contact time, had an instructor coming in to teach taiji aerobics. Its a combination of both taiji and aerobics. Woah! Its very effective, only that I have VERY sore muscles. That day, I actually wanted to go the gym. So after the workout, I was sorely tempted to skip gym. But while walking towards the mrt, past the gym, I just waltzed right in. My thinking was that since I was already sweating, had warmed up, might as well just drag my butt in. No wonder NOW I have having muscle ache of the 1st degree!
What time is it?
It's plaster time!! (sing to tune of Tiger Time)
Compere
-I JUST discovered that I am suppose to be the compere for CNY. Okay the story goes like this: Lalalala and this collegue came up to me today.Then she told me that she will be my partner for CNY celebrations. We will be the comperes. I was like "huh.....huh?" She told me that she was told that I agreed to be one, hence she agreed to be my partner. Again I was like "huh...HUH!?!?!?" I didnt know abt that. I remembered one of the Chinese teacher asked me to help them with CNY. She just say to help around. I agreed, thinking that it was to put up the CNY decorations. I didnt know it was to be a compere.... and to top it off, to be the Chinese-speaking compere. Okay how did I land in this? Well last year, I took a lot of Chinese relief classes, quite a number. So when I went into the class, I spoke Mandarin, got the students to do the Chinese homework, answer queries. Hence got to know the Chinese teachers quite well. I converse in Mandarin with them but a bit rusty. Hence they 'arrow', since they are short of Mandarin-speaking staff. Fine then. Seriously when i was a student, I never did any of the things that I am doing now. Lets see, I participated in Children Day, played SnowWar, think up and helped oversee an item for graduation, and now a compere. Next week have to go and shop for costumes for cca. Wow.This feels like a second childhood.

What's Up Doc?
In fact, nothing much really. Work has started and on Friday, I came down with stomach flu and was on mc. Not very serious though my throat hurts and feels very raw, from all the shouting and voice projection that I did from Mon to Thurs. Hmm I will use my speakers, not going to care if students find it weird or not. Surprisingly none in my current class found it queer. Maybe cos i had been to almost all the classes with my speakers for relief before, esp after the exams last year. Anyway, so far things platable. Another year of work is beginning. One more slack week before things get up to full speed.
Anyway, update on my ear piercings. The left one is slightly infected, a bit red and stuff. Got cream to apply. Its been 3 weeks already but both still havent healed yet. My mom was telling me that it will take a mth or more to completely heal. Anything so long as my ears dun get infected and imflammed and rot off. Cos I read an article recently on how some body piercings went wrong especially the D.I.Y. There was this lady with part of her earlobe rotted off to a size of a twenty-cent coin. Well I will definitely be diligently cleaning my ears. So far already got a pair of earrings. The circular type that looks like what Gackt wears. Too bad my ears not healed enough to wear them yet. Oh well.
Decided to meet up this Saturday cos work had begun and felt like not much social life. Met up with Tab and shopped along Far East. Lunch in Subway where I had my foot-long sandwich which was both lunch and supper. Dinner was Sushi @ Suki Sushi. Nice place and selection of food. Most probably be holding birthday there soon. I am going to taste that Shisamo (pregnant fish) by hook or by crook, even if I have sore throat on that day.
Quetzal joined us later and regaled her encounter with the tsunami over Roti Tissue ( the super thin crispy roti prata with sugar) and milk tea. Her car was running low on petrol and we mused that we might have to push her car if she doesnt top up her tank soon. Much later on, she drove us to Kent Ridge Park, apparently an ideal spot for lovers making out. Oh well, it had a nice view of the sea and the off-shore industries and sent me home. This was around 1.30am. From below my flat, i saw that the lights were off but when I reached home, I found everyone except my father wide awake. So, only the lights in the living room were off. My mom was watching vcd, sister gunbounding and the other reading comic. I guess i will wake up late tomorrow, cos I just finished the other half of the Subway foot-long sandwich, hence i shall do some gaming before i fall asleep.

A sombre start to the new year where we are constantly bombarded with information about the tsunami. Though my heart goes out to them, the over-influx of information relating to tsunami via News report, newspapers and various documentries have somewhat numb me. My year would have seemed to be trival compared to what some have experienced but I am glad that I had overcome certain obstacles in my life and hopefully become more tapered...
NEW YEAR 2005 and End of Holidays
The new year is upon us all. 2005 the year where I will SOON be older officially. Getting older and older. Furoi desu ne. Time does fly especially when u dun keep track of it. Its been 1.5 yrs after graduation already. Not to mention that my holidays have FINALLY run out. For some envious ones, I was uncontactable cos I was frantically trying to enjoy my last few days. The downside to that is my obvious lack of sleep from keeping damn late nites.
My hopes for this year:
1) Settle into my job and learn the ropes.
Hope to be a good and inspiring Educator.
2) Spend more time with family, cos I somehow neglected them in 2004.
Constantly not at home even on weekends and tried to compensate monetary-wise. No more going out on Sundays. Sunday is family day.
3) Lose that flab by end of 2005. Target is Gym twice weekly, Conditioning once, Weight loss 5kg, Flatter stomach and better defined triceps.
Next date of review: March 31st.
4) Have time for myself to pursue interests and courses.
Had to kick myself very hard to revise my Jap. Stopped for things like piano, note reading, guitar. Promise to have more tangible skills by end of the year.
The past year 2004 has been a trying and difficult year for me partly due to ShittyBank, and having to juggle tuition with jap and piano lessons at one point. I remember the days and weeks passing really quickly. Months flew by though getting through each and every day was trying and difficult. But in the later parts, things got off on a good fresh start. A new job, new environment and new people. Interesting experience where I learn new things everyday. Not all experience pleasant but still platable.
For 2005, I hope things will still be rosy though I will be in for a roller coaster ride in the mid-year. The most important theme of the year would be to 'constantly improve myself' I dun want to risk getting too comfortable with things esp since there is a misconception that I am in a cushy job. I beg to differ. Hence I want to try out more stuff and finish up some that I have started eg Weiqi etc. Hope at the end of this year, I will look back with more fond memories and trophies compared to last year.

Had to kick myself very hard to revise my Jap. Stopped for things like piano, note reading, guitar. Promise to have more tangible skills by end of the year.
The past year 2004 has been a trying and difficult year for me partly due to ShittyBank, and having to juggle tuition with jap and piano lessons at one point. I remember the days and weeks passing really quickly. Months flew by though getting through each and every day was trying and difficult. But in the later parts, things got off on a good fresh start. A new job, new environment and new people. Interesting experience where I learn new things everyday. Not all experience pleasant but still platable.
For 2005, I hope things will still be rosy though I will be in for a roller coaster ride in the mid-year. The most important theme of the year would be to 'constantly improve myself' I dun want to risk getting too comfortable with things esp since there is a misconception that I am in a cushy job. I beg to differ. Hence I want to try out more stuff and finish up some that I have started eg Weiqi etc. Hope at the end of this year, I will look back with more fond memories and trophies compared to last year.
