I had an awful bout of flu attack in December (just before I went on my break) which rendered me speechless for a few bloodyawful days.
So when the knnawful sore throat came visiting yesterday, I knew I am going down down down with Floo again.
ARGH!!!! Just when I am at my busiest!!!! Argghghhhhh~~~~!!!!
I would like to announce that I am rather happy with my 9 physiotherapy sessions for my slipped disc condition.
The patient and cheery therapist was very professional and caring… I am writing a letter of commendation for her.
My back improved tremendously with her treatment plan, and I am so so so glad to be leading a somewhat pain-free life once more.
I still get a little achey and a little numb now and then, especially after sitting for long hours at the office, but nothing a little stretching won’t help 
The physio place at Gleneagles is clean, well-maintained and the facilities satisfied a grumpy me. Many times I showered at their shower room before heading back to the office, feeling refreshed and energised.
So yay! And I managed to claim the majority of the expenditure from my personal accident insurance plan. The reimbursement came in rather quickly, once we’ve gotten the paperwork down pat.
Hmm, at least the insurance came in handy when I needed it most. So please, get your insurance plans done up. We need it more than ever, now that we are aging day by day…
A door to a faraway land opens up to me.
But I can’t take it.
Not if I want to risk ruining something dear to me over here.
Life, is full of choices that screws your mind over and over and over and over…
ARGH!
I’ve never really noticed his shoes or his bags, until Lady Gaga burst into the scene with her Bad Romance music video (which, by the way, is definitely a cult classic-to-be).
I’ve always noticed his intriguing details and cutting for his haute couture stuff. The eye-catching and the odd detailing; the beautiful drapes and tucks; the unique silhouettes on the female body…
His works were truly one-of-a-kind.
I mean, who could make lace so thoroughly avant garde, chic and wearable all at the same time?
And then he’s gone, just like that. Before I could barely afford a single piece of his fantastical creations… and he’s gone…
He is about the only (current era) designer that I paid attention to, and I mourn the loss of such an immensely talented individual.
Rest now…
Ok, you know the drill… we get new clothes, new whatever to wear for CNY.
We get some munchies for the home, some sugary drinks for the guests…
In previous years I was more interested in getting the clothes than the munchies, but 4 days to go to CNY and I haven’t even got ANYTHING new to wear yet (except that pair of blue Levis jeans).
And I already have a container of love letters, kueh bangkit, prawn rolls and sugary drinks in stock.
WHERE HAVE MY PRIORITIES GONE!??!?!?!
Especially when I lost 10kg liao leh… *grumbles*
I have many doubts in life. A worrier, I am… after all.
I see the negative side of things all the time, and I get pretty tired by the end of the day.
People think I am happy-go-lucky, but it’s more of – I’m happy if I could be, luckier. 
Having the iPhone is fun. Web-surfing is much better on a bigger screen, but am still annoyed by how easily I have typo errors whenever I send out SMSes and emails.
Having my own hosted domain is fun.
But I absolutely have no idea what else I should do with it.
A secret FTP site to store my files?
Set up my own forum (what the heck for?!)?
Or what?
Having a car to bring me around places, running errands, meeting people for discussions and everything – it’s great.
But it’s not so great to see my savings grow at a snail’s pace.
Bah. Need to make more money, and to make much more quicker than ever before. *thinks*
Having a 10-year loan on our flat is perhaps one of the wisest decisions that we have made, to ensure a roof over our heads as we age every single day as a silly couple.
But where do we go from now? What do we do with our CPF funds?
Invest them on some Equity Funds?
Throw the “invisible money” all into the principal HDB loan amount?
Transfer the funds to Special Account to enjoy the 4% annual interest?
Too many possibilities to make a hasty decision right now.
===
What do you think we could do?
The big picture:
Everything is well and good. Everything is bright and fine.
I should be happy and satisfied everything has gone insanely well for me so far.
The small picture:
I think a little more money would be good.
Then again, who doesn’t want more money?
Darn.
Yes I have deserted Liquidblade 
But it was good while it lasted.
So… I just hope this cheap webhost will “do it” for me.
And I got to do regular backups
2 years in the waiting… I finally got myself an iPhone. Hopefully it’ll give me some mobile surfing fun!
Just when I was feeling quite dulled and disillusioned by the influx of awful awful cat abuse cases, abandoned mummy cats… kittens and so many complaints from intolerant people…
I had a rush of happiness when I found that our dipping reserves is back on track to a healthier level
It’s nice knowing that we have done something right after all
