sick.

down with indigestion/stomach flu for the past three days. i don't know what's what. the doctor didn't even give me a proper diagnosis! he was more concerned about asking me i am pregnant. like HELLO? pregnant? do i look like i'm pregnant? yes, the symptoms are similar but still? in any way, his saving grace was that the medicine he prescribed works. and i'm definitely feeling much better now. (:

at the doctor's, i was just telling Mum how i've been falling sick recently. back in Ai Tong, i had never taken a day off in school can? perfect attendance. if there was a running for the title of Ms Perfect Attendance i think i would have won hands down. never fell sick in my entire six years. not in my lower secondary years either. the first time i really fell sick and had to be sent home from school happened when i was in Secondary Three. and since then, i've been to the doctor's for so many times! Mum says our human body is like this. once you fall sick, your immune system gets weaker. and so you are become more susceptible and it's just a vicious cycle. and that's coming from a nurse.

falling sick's not that bad at all. if it happens only once in a while, that is. i get to take a break without any pangs of guilt hounding me. for the first time in the past few months, i took a good rest, watched television for hours and simply slacked at home. that on top of a recovering me, i'm a happy girl. (:

been wanting to blog about this for quite some time but never had the time to. so, today's a good day and here goes!

my dearest colleagues back in tcc. (: and i miss the lot! my last day at work was amazing. initially, they treated me to Mama Mia, the lasagne that i had always wanted to try. i ordered it for my dinner before starting work and they asked me not to pay first. and they actually footed the bill without telling me! (: it was a usual weeknight with a late crowd. but the most amazing thing was towards closing time when Farhan suddenly asked me to send a Warm Lava to some table at the back. and i was so certain there wasn't a table at the back cause we usually set it up only when it's superbly busy. but that's my manager asking me to send something and i had to do it right? so in the end, after walking one round and confirming that that table doesn't exist, i walked back to the counter and he was like "it's for you. sit down and eat it". it was so sweet can? (: the way home was good with Shinghwee and Weiliang, the other Northies. (:

my two months there were definitely tiring, but at the same time, it's been an amazing experience. i got started on my first job ever. i opened my eyes to the working world outside my own comfort zone. i learnt to stretch my own limits. i saw how a small gesture can go a long way. and most importantly, i got to know many wonderful people who've all made a difference in those two months. (:

the outlet's closed for renovations now. and everyone else is separated to different existing outlets. ): but i'm so looking forward to our chalet this weekend! i so miss them! (:

last Friday was Awards and Promos. my event with Jorin Mdm. minus a few minor glitches here and there, it went smoothly! (: another event off the list.

as usual, the batch started to photo-whore. my batch is a batch of photo-whores. myself included. haha. to put it in Sarah's words, "2 Hamburgers and a Fry" now. haha. we are growing up so fast. a little too fast perhaps? (:



many a time, life pushes us. sometimes towards the sky, and at others, into a depper abyss. and all we can is to move with the flow and try to create something out of it. (:
