Food Poisoning

YEAH! I am proud to declare that I have fully recovered from the horrid episode of food poisoning! No more rushing to toilets, no more bloated stomachs, no more nauseousness! Finally! I have been awaiting for this day for so long, after being tortured by this strain of virus for 4 full days. My appetite shrunk by a lot during this whole period. Couldn even finish a small bowl of porridge. HAHA. Totally rare, perhaps I should take that as a blessing as it can partially reduce my weight. BOO. Not exactly healthy this way as I lost plenty of water during diarrhoea and had to keep on drinking water to replenish the water loss. Drinking lots of water made me feel bloated and horrible. The most amazing thing was, I didn even want to eat any nice food even though they were just right in front of me. Usually I would be tempted by chicken wings, but during this period, the sight of any fried food makes me want to puke and I also cant seem to understand why others seem to enjoy eating them that much. Haha. For a moment, I thought i was anorexic. haha. Just for a teeny weeny little moment. It's funny how a food-lover like me can actually detest chicken wings during this period. It's almost unbelievable. The most irksome and scary part about suffering from food poisoning would be having fevers.

I was real paranoid when I had fever during the first 2 days. During the first day, my fever was 38.3 degrees. And I swear that I could feel a little dizzy. At one hand I was feeling dizzy, on the other, I was really anxious and agitated because I dun want my body temperature to continue rising. Read that one can actually become retarded after prolonged fevers. That explains my fear of having fevers. I would rather have anything except a fever. Went to the 24 hr clinic at chong pang area, thanks to my aunt for driving us all there. The receptionist took my temperature and it registered 38 degrees. Phew! At least not as high as before, I was thinking to myself. HA, but since it exceeded 37.5, i need to wear a mask. So there I was, sitting down on a comfy cushioned bench, donning a mask while other patients steered clear from me. Ha. Admit it, I did feel a little sad at that moment. Yep initially dad sat next to me for like 10 mins? Then he went over to join my cousin and aunt. haha. Although it was only a mere 10 mins, I was kind of touched. cuz i asked him why arent he afraid that i would spread the virus to him, and his reply was that there was nothing to be afraid of. I guess that's what family means to him :)
Thanks so much dad. I really appreciated it. Among all family members, he was the one who offered to go down to the clinic with me, even without my request. I really want to say a big thank you to him. Thanks a million! One thing about dad is although he's a man with few words, his actions say it all :D and that's already sufficient.

Thanks to jessilyn and aunt for accompanying me down to the clinic even though it was really late. Thanks to jessilyn and aitee for buying the cooling pads for me to cool down my temperature. Thanks to kian keong for the nice but bland home-cooked fish porridge. Thanks to yingjia, yiqi, sheryl, jocelyn, neetha and darren for their concern. Thanks to my colleagues-- kelvin, jason and gina for helping me out during work while I was feeling unwell. Thanks to all my sweet family members who tolerated with my bad temper while i was having fever. Thanks to anyone whom I missed out :)

Happy national day everyone! I love singapore!

Watson Membership Card Promotion

Promoted Watsons membership card at the classy place Stamford house for the past 2 days. There was such a huge crowd yesterday and the queue was really long. It was easy to sell the cards as Watsons' brand name has already been established. Hence not much of persuasion needs to be done :) Saves lots of work for us. HAHA. My colleague and I didn even have to approach people that much, they just come to our booth on their own and the influx of customers was really pretty scary. Sometimes u have to do registration for customers non-stop for sometime, until the crowd dies off. Have to thank this company: Fr3b, as everyone who turned up was actually a Fr3b member who queued to get freebies from the company. That was why they happened to pass by our booth, which was located just next to the Fr3b company. Anyway, as I heard from their members, just an annual fee of 28 bucks and u can be entitled to freebies for one whole year! But there's a point system. So after u took the freebies home(mostly facial products), u must do a mini review for the product and post it on the company's webby. So the more reviews u post up, the more points u earn and the more freebies u stand to get! Isnt that wonderful? HAHA. Typical Singaporean. Too bad I was working, otherwise I would have signed up as a member and queue for the freebies as well. I guess u guys can check out the website. It's http://www.fr3b.com.sg YEP. I cant believe that there's really a company that give out freebies that much :D But one think is it is like an early birds special thing again. So those who turned up early would get to pick all those products which are better than the rest, greater in quantity as well! So sometimes being kiasu really makes a difference! HAHA.

Yep, I really enjoyed myself at work for the 2 days. Thanks to my humorous and sleepy colleague weijian. Cant believe that he's from NTU as well! We agreed to meet up in school when school resumes :) Can do some catching up then. haha. He's really a funny guy who wants to know why he always fails at relationships. Cant believe that he asked me for tips on how to go after girls! What a laugh!

Lastly, I pamper myself with this bottle of Salvatore Ferragammo perfume from a store at penisular plaza. Made me feel really elated for the whole day! You should smell the fragrance! HAHA. It's darn cheap! Only cost 38 bucks for 100 ml bottle and it's usual price was 80++ bucks! I guess buying some stuff that you really fancy will lift up your spirits by a whole lot! It works for me :D

ALright, I look forward to work tmr at Hougang mall atrium.
