Virus carried from India

What the heck? I was pretty unwell since before the trip but no sign of any outbreak during the trip though. So I thought I'll be fine. But the moment I came back town, I know I'm in deep shit. The cough came back. Then the phlegm was "yucky" greenish colour. Next, nose blocked. Then throat began to sore and now, in flame! I couldn't even sip any liquid down and finally, I lost my voice yesterday night.

Sigh..what had come to me? Can't you Mr Virus stay away from me.

I was sick since the month I joined the new company and had taken quite a number of sick leaves off from work. I bet the virus has not really gone away since then. It must have linger around my body and just waiting to surprise me again and again. I am so reluctant to take any sick leave off this month. So I decided to visit the doctor again before weekend and make a good rest tomorrow. Finger crossed I will be perfectly fine on Monday. I need the energy and health for month-end closing and yes, ready for exam!

Visits to doctor is like a monthly routine and she knows me by the name. How embarrassed! As I was explaining my terrible coughing situation, she made a verdict: Guess you were infected in India but the supplements you took during the trip was just to suppress the outbreak. Also, because you had been telling yourself not to get sick, you know how mind affect you body. So now, when you are back to a comfortable place, the outbreak came.

Ahhh..So, I carried the virus all the way back from India.

Well, how crazy it sounds. But guess I believe in whatever she said, as long as I am going to be well!

Took the medicine right after the visit in front of my boss, just now. (LOL! Just to make him see how "sick" I was) After I confirmed with the nurse again and again, the cough syrup won't make me feel sleepy. Again, she was just trying to be nice. I felt totally sick after the medication because I cannot work at all. I can only see all "Zzzzzzzz Zzzzz Zzzz" everywhere!

That's why I decided to blog about this!

Just to keep my mind awake ;)

So weekend will be a rejuvenating weekend for me. Rest at home and get well.

Seriously? How can Princess Piggie's weekend be that boring? Of course there will be food adventure on a Saturday morning with mom in Mont Kiara and a community service on Sunday brunch time. Hope everything turns out well. I need positive energy!

Also, I was supposed to meet with my boss for my performance appraisal and proceed for confirmation on my 6 months probation but he was too busy with his work and smashing the keyboard of his. I do not dare to bug on him again on this. I don't want him to turn into Incredible Hulk and ruin my Friday. Guess, I have to wait till next week! I'm personally very anxious and at the same time excited about this. Not just because of the performance bonus but also curious to know what the boss think of me - work wise! That is the main reason I need positive energy.

First week of December started off badly due to Mr Virus visits but was surprised with good luck and great luncheon with colleagues and dinner with mates. But it is not going to end well due to Mr Virus's persistent to stay and anxiety attack due to unknown performance appraisal. So I do hope, both Saturday and Sunday, please don't fail me!!

And yes, my lovely blog is missing my first adventure trip to India.
I am little overwhelmed with work/food/frustration/study/not enough money to spend crisis. Most probably will only be working on it bit by bit after mid of December.

That's all for now, for my first December posting!

*Cough*Cough*Sigh~~

Lisa and Francis Wedding

On 12th November 2011, another high school friend of mine tied the knot with her long term boyfriend. It's been a while since I last attended a Christian Catholic wedding. The Church is located in Sentul, called St Joseph. A small Catholic Cathedral but with 100 years of history.

The morning breeze was cold due to the cold rain drops. It was better to tuck in the bed and warmth yourself in your duvet rather than waking up early. But no way I'm gonna miss Lisa's wedding. We were never really close friends back in high school but we were classmates and we actually sit together. I'm so honored to be invited to witness the best day of her life and marking the new beginning of her married life together! 

It was a private ceremony and the couple was surrounded by family and closed friends. Nothing grand or extravaganza but the love, best wishes and laughter was what the couple wanted.

The moment Lisa's mom walked in together with her, it was like the most touching moment for me. Handling her hand to her husband..awwww...sweet!!!

The song book:-

After the ceremony, it was time for us to cam-whore with the beautiful bride and bridesmaids. Color theme was yellowish and grey. Lovely!

We posing with the lovely bride. And her gown was custom made from Vietnam. Jealous!

I'm pretty impressed with the car. First time seeing the groom using such "Fast Furious" like car for wedding. Interesting!

What a HUGE family portrait ~~

Even the cat wanna join us cam whoring!

The Heng Tais were really great jokers

Spot the hands?

I missed the bouquet!!!

The Ji Muis and Heng Tais:-

I LOVE the following portrait shots. Great camera of cos, but my skill improving!!!! ROFL

The wedding ended with more laughter and love. May you both Lisa and Francis, be happy and lovey dovey couple!!! Congratulations!!!

P/S: mind the dates of some pictures above. Silly me for not checking the date and time on the camera..

Exciting November!!!

November 2011 is an interesting month to me. Too much going on and most are happy and excited events!
First week of the month, me and the 80s clan went off down south to Malacca (yes, just after the bad break down a month ago, I have the courage to go AGAIN) for a birthday celebration. This round is for Crazy Chew 28th birthday bash. And as plan, we expect it to be fun and lots of juicy gossips. And yes, it goes as well as planned.

Due to the sudden change of Frog Prince plan, he is again pull out last minute from our plan. So this is again all girls trip except Crazy Chew's brother to join us. One little tiny thorn among the great roses. LOL.

As plan, we were suppose to gather at Crazy Chew's house at 9am and to take off from there. Everyone expect me to be late (as usual) but surprisingly, I reached sharp as hell. And the one that caused our trip to be delay is Lazy Suit. She was too occupied with her sleep =_= so we were delayed till 10am. We took off and drove all the way to Seremban toll to wait for our Aunty Jane. And in mean time, we get our supply of carbs (sandwiches), caffeine (coffee) and some girls oxygen (cigarettes) :)

However, the traffic was really bad. It took us almost 2 hours to reach the town and get ourselves settle in with the guesthouse. I've rented a house that can fit 9 of us perfectly and the location is just superb. Walking distance towards Jonker Street. The only downfall was the house was just behind a local mamak restaurant, so some girls in that particular bedroom did not have a good night sleep. Way too noisy. And also, there was no air condition in the living hall. Looking at the crazy weather in Malacca, this was way serious! We basically stay in the our own bedroom. Beside the above two main points, the house is just superb looking at the rent we were charged.

So, after checking in, we parked our car in the house porch and hunt for lunch. Donald & Lily's nyonya lunch was attacked crazily by the tourist and we had enough of starving, we reside by choosing Mama's Place. A restaurant which apparently no patrons when we get ourselves seated.

The food was average. Some dishes were disaster though. As usual, was too busy stuffing our mouth..we totally forgot to take pictures. But, spent too much time waiting for the owner to serve our food, me and MIA Teresa went out to hunt for snacks. Hilariously, we both were too occupied by the variety of shops!!! At least, we get some steam groundnuts to make the girls happy.

After food, we walked down to Jonker Street while holding our big belly. The walk was dreadful, we were too full and the sun was too cruel to us.

After gruesome experience under the freaking hot sun, we found a shop which sells some art stuffs that caught our eyes. So we decided to spend some cash there:-

And while we were spending, some girls got into a cafe to take a sip of caffeine to freshen up. This shop is behind Jonker Street and is called Mod Cafe. Interesting place. Drinks were excellent. I ordered Creme` Brulee which was not disappointed at all. Cool!!

                                                 

The photographer was Crazy Chew's Brother: Cheeky Bastard. (ROFL) so he got some 'cool' pictures snapped with my camera. I decided to post it as an acknowledgement of his amateur photographing skill!

HeeHee~~

For the night dinner, we were disappointed by the local Teochew restaurant. The attitude of the owner/chef was way overboard. Maybe they are too popular by demand so they do not matter if we are not their customers! So we moved to Satay Celup and had crazy number of sticks of satay to fill up our stomach~~
And Lazy Suit even challenged me to eat! Of cos she wins...Who wanna mess with a super stress crazy woman like her? ROFL?!

After dinner, we moved back to our rest house for hot bath and prepared our so called surprise birthday cake to Chew. Epic failure again cos she saw the cake during the day. :(
Anyhow, the cake was lovely. Thanks to Dennis, the owner of the rest house. And we had really BIG CANDLE for Chew to blow away her 28th Birthday!!!

We concluded this trip with the Lazy/Hao Poh Suit posing with the birthday girl:-

P/S: I remembered they had cards playing and beer session. But I was way too exhausted. The only thing I remember was, laying on bed --> SNORING~~

Anyhow, we have another surprise to Birthday Girl by Aunty Jane and myself. This will be deliver soon to the Birthday Girl house. Please wait~~
