Matrix Noise

Still can't remember my new colleague's name. Chandra however has declared him as Neo from Matrix. Hahah... guess that will do. Welcome Neo!

Anyway just back from Jurong Point. Watched a movie & had dinner. At last! I have missed so many good movies. Now that I'm free & fully recovered from sickness, I could only think of watching 'White Noise'. The title got stuck in my head thanx to the bus-stop poster that I see without fail every morning to work. Sheesh!

Thriller? Nope. Scary? Not. For those who have watched 'The Ring'... this movie is amateurish. I shall not go on. =)

Split? But why???

Attended a one day course in MUIS yesterday. Today I entered the office feeling thankful that my table was still as it was when I left - not so cluttered. Tackled whatever pile was in hand. AO came. Purposely came down to conduct job interviews but out of 3, only 1 turned up. Yay! Another new colleague is joining us. By March, there will be 6 of us in the office. Wow... =)

Now if only I can remember the guy's name again. *scratches head*

Bye Moto, Hi Sam.

Doctor's medication is providing some relief on my poor nose. My colleagues still have to bear with my loud sneezings but I'm glad that my nose is no longer leaking.

My mobile decided to go haywire yesterday afternoon. Vibrated for no apparent reason, while it was off. I have been tolerating its out of the blue auto shutdowns... but this?! Even Margaret & Fui Ling witnessed the crazy antics.

Under my friend's guide, I took out the SIM card and battery. Left it aside for over an hour before placing everything back. No more vibrations. No more tolerance from me too.

Traded in my mobile for Samsung E700A. Not for the 15 multi-shots or its camera capability. Just for its sleek design & price.

So... pardon me while I go meddle with my new phone. =)

Mind over Body

Mind: Dinner has been cancelled. All because of Chandra.

Body: So how?

Mind: Do whatever you want. I'm getting back to work.

Body: Oh wow!

Hot!!!

Urgh! Everything was normal this morning. Or so I assumed. By noon, I was a mess. My nose leaks when the office air-con is on, but I perspire when it's off. Contemplated drinking cold GrassJelly during lunch but opted for hot SoyaBean milk instead. While my colleagues went around Shop & Save to buy junk food, I had to sit quietly at a corner to cool down.

Nose isn't so runny but my temperature is topsy-turvy. And while I notice all these changes in me, I can still afford to do things as per normal. I sound more like a person sick in mind than in body!

I abandoned the idea of staying back late in office. Left with Margaret & Fui Ling. Took the MRT, changed to bus 960 and dozed off thru the journey. I alighted from the bus with a blocked nose. Hahahah I can't even tolerate the tantrums my body is giving. Goodness gracious!

(Internal Dialogue-in-session)
Mind: Can we make a deal?

Body: What kind?

Mind: Be good for another day at least??? Till tomorrow? Let me enjoy the CNY dinner with my colleagues. I promise I will not eat anything to worsen the current situation.

Body: Mmm...

Mind: Ppplease? Gotta give the medicines a chance too.

Body: That's unfair!

Mind: Aww, come on. You are already messing up my coolness. Juz a matter of 20+ hours or so. Won't disturb you after that. Will pay doctor another visit if medicines don't work.

Body: .....

Mind: It's dinner. Good food, wonderful companions, rest & relax...

Body: Go sleep now!

Twidees?

Thanks to my colleague... for making my heart jumped to my mouth this morning. She failed to see my mobile on my table. Then again, can't blame her with all that 'creative' pile. Tried to suspend my line temporarily but couldn't make the call from a public phone. Almost contemplated buying a new mobile but @ 8.30am, no shops were opened yet.

When I entered office, Chandra told me that he had called my Dad to inform the 'recovery' of my mobile. He couldn't find my home number in my phone book. Hahah! Actually, it is... juz under a different personalised title. I shudder at the thought of him dialling anyone other than 'Dad'.

Hours later, Dad returned call. By then, all of us were busy at work. Coincidentally, Chandra was waiting for a call from a school representative. My Dad addressed himself as Mr S from S school and Fui Ling directed his call to Chandra. Imagine a duck & a rooster having a tele-conversation... =P

By 6pm, I surrendered. I had finished 1 tissue box to handle my runny nose and was fast becoming the next Rudolf. Quickly packed up and left to meet Sayang. We headed to Causeway Point for dinner @ BK. Surprisingly I felt better. Our discussion was thought-provoking, our meeting brief.

Dad called me while I was @ Civic Centre. Sent me rushing to Yew Tee. Seriously dunno which was faster - my legs or my runny nose. I do know for a fact that I was burning. Even Dad was complaining when he stood beside me. He said I was like a furnace but I blamed it on the weather.

Right now, I'm not feeling too good. Not with a leaking red nose. Too late to go to the clinic. Will have to do that first thing tomorrow. Nite.

P.S The Doctor & Shasha: My condolence...

Adish!

Rushed to Makcik & Pakcik's house after work yesterday. They held a doa kenduri - Housewarming cum Awal Muharram.

I gave my salam and saw Idris. Hensem boi was smiling. Cute little boy has started school and I've not seen him for so long! He smiled from far but never came near. Meeting was brief cos he soon left with his mum.

After that, I waited for Minah, Wak & Man over 2 hours for them to arrive & have dinner together. Luckily Aishah told me to eat the delicious birthday cake. Heehee =P
