Caught the flu bug

Was down with a flu since wednesday but I'm loads better now. I'm pretty sure it's not an ordinary kind of flu cuz it came very suddenly and my temperature has been fluctuating these few days. Took 2 separate doses of panadol tablets on wednesday but I did not have a good rest at all. One moment I was shivering and the next moment, sweating. So for the whole night, I was shivering, sweating, shivering, sweating... I felt like I was going to die, seriously. Can tell you that feeling is so much worse than getting drunk.

On thurs noon, I woke up with puffy eyes. Went to see Dr Sia and he said I might have developed an allergic reaction to panadol. Allergies can develop anytime in our lives and it's more likely the case for me since I'm already proven to be allergic to another type of paracetamol. That sucks, cuz, it means that from now on, should I get ill with a fever, I can only lie in bed and rest till I'm well.

That said, it's still only a hypothesis. I've yet to show him the ingredients on my panadol box. What worries me is, why the sudden onset of fever? Dr Sia was unable to trace the source of my flu, but he said that if my fever doesn't subside by next monday, I'll have to go for a blood test to test for dengue. Well, I doubt it's dengue since I haven't had any mosquito bites. Plus, I'm feeling loads better already. Have been taking antibiotics and lotsa flu tea. =)

Doodads

I fell in love with this Chloe Paddington inspired bag at first sight. Look how pretty it is! Been contemplating buying it but it costs $45 and Kh is sure to kill me if I do.

Was telling Pris how much I liked it, and she was like,"Omg, so nice!" 15mins later, when I logged off msn and went to bed, she sent me a message saying she just bought it. Now she's urging me to buy it too. Oh the temptations of this world.

Meanwhile, I keep reminding myself that this is what Robert Kiyosaki would call "Doodads". I just need to focus on setting up my business and I'll forget about these little sacrifices. Someday, I'm gonna buy this bag with the money I earn from my business. Yes I will.

Been spending so much lately. Thanks to Ms Priscilla Toh, our (online) shopping queen, I've been quite into online shopping lately. Also can't stop shopping since the GGS (great singapore sale) and MMS (malaysia mega sale). I just got my pay last week only and I've already bought quite a few stuff. Wouldn't say they're very good buys as they're not exactly cheap, but at least they saved me quite a lot of time from shopping.

Bought 2 tickets. One for myself and one for Kh. $50 each! Student price. Circle seats at Esplanade Theatre! =)

Finally got my laptop skin! Another item strike off my wishlist! From Sim Lim Square. Cost me $49. =( But it's nice! =D

Quilted Ballet Flats! $24. =/

Black Balenciaga Inspired Motorcycle bag. Medium. Geniune Leather. $34.90.

Also bought one for mum. Wasabi colour. Broke but still feeling generous. =/

Little Miss Late T-shirt by Junk Food. After 40% discount is $27.

Also got my computer mouse already. And going to get my new specs hopefully by next week!

Drunk!

I never thought I'll say this, but I got drunk last night...

Went to Ful's 21st birthday party at Aranda country club. It was a fun and enjoyable night. I mean, Kh and I were among the few people who stayed sober for the first few hours of the party. We taught 2 of Ful's "miscellaneous" friends (like ourselves) how to play bridge, and we were sitting there playing bridge until about midnight when those 2 guys had to go home.

Then trouble began. 2 of Ful's friends who were sick of the drinking game outside came in and join us for dai dee. Then someone suggested that we still had a lot of vodka left over, so why not just make the loser drink as a forfeit. You know, I still remember protesting,"I prefer to stay sober. It's more fun this way."

I don't know how it all happened. I won a few times in a row and everyone was pretty impressed at how good my cards were. Then bad luck started to hit me. I had very lousy cards for a few rounds. So lousy that I can't even form any 5-card combination of any sort. Only had 2 pairs, and the rest were really lousy cards. Ended up losing 7 times and had to drink 7 half-cups of vodka consecutively.

It was pear flavoured Absolut Vodka mixed with a bit of green tea. Tasted like medicine seriously. Then someone suggested,"Gulp it down!" And I thought it was not a bad idea so I gulped all 7 cups down cuz it tasted better that way. Mind you I was still pretty sober when I was drinking those 7 cups and really never thought I'd get so drunk.

About an hour later, the effects started to kick in. It was a horrible horrible feeling. I've never been so drunk in my life. At first I was a bit giddy, then I got more and more giddy, then I started shivering very badly and I was constantly drifting in and out of consciousness. I tried very hard to stay awake by sitting up, but my whole body was so numb that I'd just fall over on the bed. Then I started puking... 7 times for the first round, and another 5 times on the second round.

For my first round of puking, Kh, being in a state of emergency, emptied someone's ziplock bag of toiletries and passed it to me. It was really disgusting cuz everyone saw how much vomit there was inside the bag. And I think I missed the bag a little bit, cuz I dirtied my tshirt a bit, and Kh later said that I had puked on his hand. =/

For the second round of puking, I was lying on the bed resting when it all suddenly came out. Threw up 5 times on the floor and also heard someone saying,"Waterfall", and another,"Merlion". Again Kh had to clean up after me. =(

Then, I don't know what happened, I ended up on the lying on the floor for the rest of the night. Heard some people saying something about carrying me up on the bed, but I remember hearing myself mumbling that I was still feeling very nauseous and didn't want to be touched.

While in my semi-conscious state, I heard 2 guys discussing about my vomit content. I must say they're pretty accurate in their guesses (or do they really know?), and here's a bit of what I remember hearing them saying...

Guy 1: 我闻到了很多hokkien mee, 两只虾, half a slice of cake... 她还有吃两只咖哩鸡, 三个potato... 昨晚还吃sardine 配饭... 我还可以闻到六杯半的vodka... Eh... 甚下的半杯在哪里?

Guy 2: 不懂... 会不会还没有吐出来？

Me: Eh, don't say already la. I really feel like puking now. Still can feel another half cup in my stomach lor.

Them: !!!

Fyi, I did not eat sardine with rice the previous night! So that part is wrong. Haha.

Just this morning, the guys were re-enacting a scene last night...

I was staggering to the toilet mumbling,"I wanna go toilet...", then I suddenly collapsed on the floor. I believe it's true cuz I can see a big bruise on my knee right now. =/

Like I said, I was drifting in and out of consciousness, so I only know about 50% of the things I did. It was pretty funny to hear people describing their experience with my drunken self. As Guy 1 concludes (sorry don't know his name?),"It was nice meeting you though it's a pretty bad first impression." Lol.

Ah well. It'll never happen again. I'm sure. I won't allow it.

Anyway, Ful, thanks for the party and sorry for the mess. =( And yes, I'm feeling a lot better already, though still a little dehydrated. =/
