Sick Penguins Like to Have Fun

A little recollection of what I have been doing.


==/ SUNDAY /==

I fell sick over the weekend and wanted to see the doctor at night. It was a wasted trip as I didn't realize that both neighborhood clinics had closed early. Doh.

While surfing various blogs, I learnt that Max had gotten a new computer and Akira was going to drop by at his place. For no reason other than to find something to occupy myself with, I asked if I could tag along. But that was provided I was feeling better the next day.


==/ MONDAY /==

I woke up early and went to see the doctor. She said that my fever had subsided, so it looks like I was good to go. I contacted Max & Akira, and the three of us met up at Sembawang MRT station at noon before setting off for Max's home. While there, Akira got down to work on Max's new laptop. Max played Winning Eleven 9 on his PS2 and I was playing my NDS online using his wireless connection. I was envious of Max's new laptop as mine was so problematic. I felt like an 'extra' through the day while Max & Akira got down to the serious business of populating his new laptop with goodies.

At around evening time, Miyamoto SMS'ed me to inform me that he had nights off and was dropping by at AMK. I was thinking of going straight home to rest and had wanted to refuse him. But then, I remembered that my journey home from CCK would be a monstrous 2-hour MRT ride and so I changed my mind. I soon left for AMK while Akira stayed back to accompany Max for a nice home-cooked dinner (it smelled like fried rice or noodles, which would've been suitable for little sick me).

I arrived at AMK at around 8 pm and went to MOS Burger to buy takeaway. Despite having a sore throat, fast food was still the way to go for me. I simply bought nuggets & fries and went to meet Miya. We played several rounds of Raw Deal and I bought a box of the new expansion as I went home.

The day was filled with so much excitement for me that I had no time to rest. I shall make up for my lack of rest for the next few days and hope I recover soon.


==/ TUESDAY /==

I woke up on Tuesday in the afternoon, feeling excited that it had been exactly seven days again after the last time the recruitment agent had called me. I was disappointed when I checked my handphone and realized that all had been quiet. I'll give it a few more days before I call him up myself.

I tried to spend the rest of the day lying in bed to make up for the lack of rest on Monday. I left my computer on to download anime, but just as I was making myself comfortable in bed, I got the dreaded Blue Screen of Death error. I hope this is not a premonition that my laptop's days are numbered. Come on; I just reformatted a couple of days ago. Oh, well. I couldn't really get to sleep any more after that.

At night, I waited for the regular shows on TV. Normally, I'd stock up on Ruffles and Oreos, but not this time. I'll just have to be content with plenty of water as CSI came on. And now, here I am typing this. I guess I will occupy myself with Darrell's cartoons and anime until I go to bed. I hope I get well soon cos' I have not been getting as much rest as I should.

With all the things happening to me recently, I might very well be experiencing depression soon.
