Busy week

Halo people, its end of the week again... haha usually people look forward to the weekend as they can let down their hair and relax... but that doesn't apply to everyone, at least not for me... heez... have to go back to work tml... can u imagine... working on a saturday!!! argh.. there goes my weekend... BURNT...

Lets talk about the week that have just passed... started the week on a tuesday, after a long weekend of diarrhoea and fever... fever was gone but the tummy was still giving a rampage... but manage to tahan the morning, where we had rehearsal drills for Navy anniversary parade and NDP... whenever break was given, toilet was my resting point... After much persuasion, decided to visit the medical center after lunch, needed to get something done there anyway so went to see the doc at the same time, one stone kill 2 bird... Got there and it was wait, wait and more wait by the time i was done, half the day was gone, got back to the whitehouse took my medication and rest awhile, lucky there wasn't anything to do in the afternoon... and that ended my work, evening, braved the rain to go nyp for band prac... always enjoy the company of frens and also playing band pieces (rather then marching pieces)... heez... but lao shi ended pretty late so had to rush back to camp straight after prac... got a few bread bun for dinner since didn't have any appetite... Wednesday was pretty much the same but staff was kind to give us halfday to rest and all, as we need to fall in real early (like 6 plus) on thursday for Navy parade, so me, kris, boon wah and zhi xun juz went town to walk walk and look around... after that we return back to camp where they continue gaming and i decide to turn in after a shower about 11 plus... tummy didn't gave much problem, was on the road to recovery... Thursday Navy parade... was 45 mins to and hour long, almost killed me... but have to learn to endure longer as the upcoming parades are twice this lenght jia you ba... then was given more time to rest when we got back...was going to nyp again when it started raining again... wonder its juz something that usually happens in the afternoon, or juz a sign... haha Anyway, today, was a sad day, its the cremation of a great man, the peoples' president, Dr. Wee Kim Wee, we had the privilige to got to his place to 'escort' him out to mandai... so when we fall in this morning, we made all the neccessary preparation, and since it was such a big event, even those about to ORD personnel that is clearing leave are recalled back... after lunch, just about time when we are about to leave for his premise, the heaven rained so heavily that people get wet even indoor... however the strange thing was when we got there, the rain stop and there was no sign of the sun, its was cloudy a little windy... guess a great man does deserves a honorable last respect, even by the heavens... we played as the coffin is being carried out, the place was heavily guarded, and there was the media and many people, mostly those leaving nearby coming to pay their last respect... once in the vehicle, we marched with the vehicle behind us for a distance before it proceed to mandai, sort of a symbol of his last journey i suppose... it was indeed a sad moment... by the time we got back camp its was already 5 plus, and that sort of ended my week... many things done in a short 4 days... more coming next week i think but well... take a week at a time i guess... heez.. got things to do time pass faster i always say...

It only now that i know that stomach flu is contagious, coz i have spread my illness to my MUM... feel terrible when i first got to know it... have been pretty worried about her in camp, she got it since wednesday, so have been calling her frequently to check on how she is doing, seeing her suffering what i have gone though make my heartaches coz i know how terrible it feels, losing appetite, going toilet like nobody's business, then feeling weak and all... haiz... really pray she gets well really really soon... So many people falling ill... please take good care of ur health... its really not very nice to be ill, so STAY HEALTHY K... drink lotsa water, eat properly and exercise regularly....!!!

sickly mayday

Evening of may day, or more commonly known as labour day, as all the working class gets there well deserved rest, I spend the day at home nursing my condition (oh yah and the frequent visit to the toilet)... Woke up at about 11 this morning, feeling much better compared to yesterday, maybe because i have got a sounder sleep, the fever is gone and i had more energy... As it seems that everything is back to normal, nature calls, my diarrhoea had yet to leave me... Spent the rest of my day "inspecting" the toliet at home, (trying not to make it sound so gross lah...)

Anyway, was suppose to have COG parade today, was tinking of going, but the endless visit to the toilet drained the thought out of me... so i ended up sitting on the sofa all day and have a 'date' with harlem, ah ya and xiao S (Super sunday)... Mum was there too, making sure that i am ok... and i am eating again... but food dun seems very appealing to me now... donno why, the sight of food turns me off, like those kfc advertisments... made me almost puke man... this morning had a chicken and char xiu bao for breakfast, practically forced it down my throat, so my mum won't worry... other then that, had abit of fish and prawn porride for dinner... usually i would finish the entire pot with ease... but today i struggle with a plate man... haiz really wish its will all turn out will and i can recover real soon...

This coming tuesday i will be BO (band orderly aka duty musician) for band A for a week, really hope i can be strong enough to do it man... Argh... haiz... anyway, going for my 'excursion' to the loo again... already lost count on the number of times i have visited the place... but wat the heck... this is all.... people please take good care of yourself k... even though you might seem really strong, but when the illness bug is hooked on to u no matter how strong u are u will still fall ill... so take good care k... i am a very good example...
