My 8 Miserable Days..

Last Friday (15th May), right a day after our gathering in Rama V, I went to hospital to check on my cough.. I've been coughing the whole week like hell especially at night during sleep.

At first, they suspected me having a TB.. but after the doctor checked on my body x-tray, there was nothing. So, the doctor did the blood culture (mixing my blood with a few other medicine I think..) and later they found out that there was a virus in my lungs. Gosh, I was so scared and I'd never had any experience this kind of thing before!

Then the doctor told me that I have to be admitted into the hospital on that day as I have to be treated with an antibiotic (injection into my body and not tablet form) and they have to monitor me from day to day. I was speechless.. don't know what to do. This is my first time admitted into the hospital.. I'm scared! Called my family and close friends to let them know and to help me to bring all my necessary things to the hospital.

At the end, I end-up staying the in the ward for 8 days until the doctor told me that I can now go home and rest. They will supply me with table form antibiotic and I have to make sure to take it daily right on time, twice daily (8.00am and 8.00pm without fail!). And the doctor had agreed with my plan for my holiday in Bali next month.. lucky me!

* sorry, I haven't got any pictures for this blog.. I was so miserable, lost weight and don't want myself to be captured in any picture! Got the picture?

Gathering..

Poh Ling text me the other day, inviting me for a dinner for my belated birthday. I was so excited.. it has been a while I haven't met her and really, really missed her. We had planed for a date a few times but it doesn't happen at all. Yeah, everybody had their life and work to do.. so, I can't blame anybody for this.

She told me to choose the place and let her know.. so, since doctor advised me not to eat raw food or half cook food, I was thinking about Thai restaurant. I always wanted to dine in Rama V restaurant but never have a chance.. so this is the chance for me.

Rama V outdoor deco and the appetizer (can't remember the name of this appetizer!)

Green Curry Beef and Asparagus Belacan

Fried Chicken In Pandan Leave and choices of dessert.

Since I always sent our guests to this restaurant, I had built a good relationship with the restaurant, so I made the reservation and asked them to fax me the menu. Told Poh Ling and she had invited Li Ling since she was in town.. really missed her, can't wait to meet both of them! So we invited a few other close friends, Annie, Allie, Zahir, Hazian, Dawina and not forgetting the famous Joe!



It was a great dinner, good food (we ordered a lot!), nice chat with everybody during the dinner and it was so much fun. I didn't believed that Li Ling and Poh Ling brought me a birthday gifts. Didn't expected it.. I never give them any birthday gift on their birthday.. so, I felt a bit guilty! Anyway, thanks a lot to both of you.. so kind of you guys. Hope we can organised more of this kind of gathering in future (kalau ada duit la!). At the end, the bill only cost RM400.00.. I guess they gave a us a very good discount!

Birthday gift from Poh Ling.. love the colour (never had one!)

Birthday gift from Li Ling.. souvenir from Amsterdam. Cute!

My Big Day.. (Was Not That Big Though!)

Everybody was wishing me happy birthday at workplace.. so, this is one of the good thing about Facebook when it alert everybody about your birthday. Next you know, you become a star of the day!

A few people also asking me why did I work on my birthday? Hmm.. do I have to announce to everybody if I'm taking or not holiday on my birthday?! What a boring question! But my answer is, 'Oh, I forgot that my birthday is coming.. so it's too late to apply leave!'.. the end!

At work, it was so damn boring.. occupancy is less than 40%, nothing to do, I'm damn cold under the strong aircond above my counter (I'm almost getting a fever!) and I coughed like hell! So, I'd asked for an hour to claim.. at least I'm save from all those things (as the above) that trying to kill me.

Right before I about to leave, Allie trying to stop me with a few chat at the back office.. then the back office was blackout! I was shocked at that time.. thinking if there is a power failure going on! Suddenly, out of nowhere, Mary, Mryna, Allie and Dawina appeared while singing me a birthday song.. and handed me a small chocolate birthday cake lite with candle!



I was touched.. almost cry.. didn't realised that there's people still think about me and remember my birthday. Gosh, I really love all my friends.. and lately, they've been very caring about me..



Anyway, I thank everybody for this speacial moment!
