:::-- Attack of the Flu Bug --:::

Symptoms of the flu virus started showing while i was at work on Friday but then it was kinda mild and I only had an irritated nose... Met garry at IMM for dinner n to get some stuffs... Had dinner at Fish & Co and Yippy!~ I bought my sweets too... hehehe...



The flu started getting worse on Sat after we arrived at Rasa Sentosa... by then, my throat felt sore, eyes started tearing and gradually by night time, my eyes became swollen like it always does whenever I'm down with flu... slowly my ears & nose got blocked and finally my taste bud gone...

Checked into our rooms and started unpacking... then went out to the balcony to c c look look and happened to see Lian Hoon, Eugene and Kaikai outside oso... took a pic of them...



Since we had a few hours to pass, the rest of the gang decided to go to the pool... so after much delay in the room trying to get kaikai in his trunks and applying sunblock on him, off we went to the pool...







Elrin's wedding was a smash... food was good... music and entertainment wasn't too bad either... took quite abit of photos on sat... there were tributes during the wedding for the husband and wife as well as for their parents... very nicely done... then came the big surprise for Elrin... Cheng Hwa took piano lessons for 5months without her knowing and played a piece for her accompanied by a montage done up especially for her... Aaawww.... so touching and romantic man....





Then when we were half way thru dinner, the lovely couple took over the dance floor with their salsa moves... they really looked good together... oh btw that's hw these lovebirds met... during salsa dancing... hehehe.... Anyway 1/2 way thru dinner we decided to go to the ladies and then we took a group photo....



After the dinner, the whole gang came up to my room and that's when we celebrated my bday!~ hehehe.... had mango cake from Bakerz Inn.... Yummy~~~



After changing into something comfy, Sharon, Thea, Zhi & Grace came back to my room and we had drinks while playing this bo liao dice game... hehehe.... finished more than 1/2 of the bottle of mixture in abt an hr or so... hehehe.... the last round was shared btw Grace and Zhi... who surprisingly improved her alcohol consumption quite abit... hehehe... practicing secretly ah.... hehehe... by then it was close to 2am and after we took these last few shots, we went to slp cos all of us couldnt make it liao...



Woke up at 8 for breakfast and after that they decided to head to the pool again... stopped by 1 of the shops to get floats for kaiKai...



While the rest of them went back to change, Garry n me heading back for our room... beh tahan man... the flu was killing me... was so tired that I fell aslp almost immediately and didnt wake up until 1.15pm.... die had to quickly bath and pack up cos we were checking out at 2pm... ehehe... after that we had a quick lunch at Tiong Bahru before heading home...

When we reached Hougang, mummy called and asked us to fetch them from the vet lor... Aiyo tot i could go hm and slp again but still had to make a detour... *siGh* turned out that Terry at an infection on his paw and since we were there, I jus asked the vet about the lump on tobys eyebrow area... vet said that it looks like a wart and asked to apply the cream that she would be giving and to monitor it to see if it goes down or nt...

Finally able to go home... the minute we reached hm, i went upstairs and slpt... piangz... couldnt breathe lor... got woken up by mummy around 7+ as we were hafin dinner at H.Green... while waiting for our orders, I went to see the doc as i didnt tink i could wait until the next day... oredi felt so hot n lethargic man.... *siGh* had to wait for about 30min before it was my turn...went back to eat my mee sway while waiting...

Went back to the clinic and waited for another 20min before it became my turn... doc took my temp and initally it read as 38 deg den he asked if i felt hot or not cos my face was so red and eyes oso blood shot and i told him that im feelin very hot and haf been drinking cold water but it didnt help... in the end he took my temp again tis time from my mouth... and it turned out that my fever was close to 40 deg lor.... *pEngz* gave me 2 days MC becos of the high fever... told me to drink lots of water and sleep... wah no problem ah... sleep sure can wan...

In the end, we packed evything and took a cab back home... reach CCK and was opening the letter box when this stupid auntie brought her silky out from the lift... immediately toby spotted tt silky and started strugglin in my arms and barking like a crazy dog... as I was disciplining him, that stupid auntie can still stand rooted to the ground with her dumbass silky lor... dunno how to walk away... still let her silky struggle towards us... is she stupid or is she stupid?!?!?

I turned and glared at her and at the same time as i was oredi so lethargic n sick i got irritated and started to scold toby more and clam his mouth shut with more force than i usually used... poor boy started whinning but i kept my hold on his snouth until he stopped... in the end he kept quite but i still kept scolding him as we made our way up in the lift... the moment we reached home, i put him down n made him sit in one corner.... tink he knows that im very angry cos he didnt dare move one bit...

Took a bath while garry started unpacking evything... then went to sleep.... for the 1st time with the windows open and only the fan.... no aircon as i couldnt breathe lor... *siGh* Slept the whole of monday and only woke up to eat den slpt back... After dinner, surprisingly, Mr Lee bath Toby for the 1st time.... hehehe... n i helped to clean his ears cos Mr Lee didnt know how to do it...

Jus woke up nt too long ago... but i tink Im gonna take a nap soon once the drowsiness from the medication starts... till tmw... when i get back to work...

~*~*~ 1st Wedding Dinner of the Week ~*~*~

At work but cant seem to concentrate much leh.... tired... sleepy.... *yAwNz* Started work at 7.30am yesterday somemore... Anyway, Esther helped me with my make-up after work and I lingered around until almost 6+ before leaving the office with Esther, Jasmine and Teresa... took the train with them and stopped at Newton where I was supposed to meet Sharon and Thea at 7.15pm though I was kinda earli and arrived at 7pm....

As usual, I had to wait for them.... In the end, even Zhi and Garry were able to meet us at the MRT Station lor... After everyone arrived, we made our way to Sheraton Towers where Eileen's dinner was held at... The ambience of the ballroom was nice... the stage looked not too bad oso... Bride looked pretty as usual... groom looked dashing... company around the table was marvelous as always.... but the food.... Hmmm.... not what i expected from Sheraton....

Took some pics of us last nite though not many... hehehe...

Anyway by the time i reached home it was almost midnite lor... took a bath and when i came out of the shower, my 2 boys were fast aslp liao lor... hehehe.... caught a shot of both of them before i went to bed... Wonder what Garry was praying for man... hehehe... Anyhow, I fell aslp the minute my head touched the pillow sia... Damn shack~

Somehow I woke up in the middle of the nite cos I was cramped at one side of the bed.... 1st time Mr Lee took up so much space on the bed and even slept onto my side lor... opened my eyes and saw his face on the pillow just next to my shoulder smemore *HmPf!~* I was too tired n didnt bother waking him up to move slightly aside...

Was soundly asleep and remembered dreaming that I was taking the train with Elna and we were walkin towards the last cabin... jus when we were in the middle of the 2nd last cabin, I saw 2 men arguin in the last cabin. Elna was still walkin towards me as she was a few steps away... When i reached the middle section of both cabin, a cute puppy ran towards me and I immediately sticked my leg out to prevent the puppy from running away... heheh... =Þ~

Jus when I removed my leg, the puppy continued running and I started to whistle to the puppy and surprisingly it turned and lookked at me and ran back to me... I then bent and started playing with the puppy and overheard 1 of the man saying that the puppy was a shitszu and the other said no it was a maltese... I looked at the puppy and obviously it was a M.Schnauzer lor... hahaha.... den jus as i was about to lift the puppy up and carry it in my arms, someone shook and woke me up lor... Damn it... it was Garry who was waking me up for work.... aaarrrggghhhh..... :(

~~ ToBy ~~

Slept sometime after 4am yesterday even though I started bloggin before 1am... Was busy uploading the photos that we took during our dinner at Marriott... so many pics taken so had to choose the nicer ones... and on top of that, there was something wrong with the damn PC last nite and I had to reboot it.... *siGh* Talking about dinner last nite, I heard pple saying it was quite good... but i personally find that the food was not as fantastic as I thought it would be leh... But there's no denying that the oysters and prawns were fresh la...

I woke up around 1 in the afternoon and realised that I was the only one left in the room lor... the 2 boys were already up... actually it was more like I got woken up bcos Sara msged me... *siGh* there goes my beauty sleep liao... she wanted me to accompany her to MSQ tmw to collect her stuff... hmmm.... can't say no rite? Went out of the room in search of my 2 boys.... 1 was playin mahjong on the PC and the other was locked in the kitchen after Garry brought him down in the morning as he got rather wet and dirty.... poor fella... looked at me with that sad look. Heheh... so of cos mummy had to let him out of the kitchen to play... he got so happy and excited and started running around the house and then entertained himself by playin his squeekies...

Since both of them were entertaining themselves and I wasn't hungry, I decided to finish reading my book... jus when i was left with the last few chapters, Garry came into the room and said he didnt realise that it was so late oredi... hmm... by then it was almost 5pm oredi... so late and we havent eaten the whole day... in the end we decided to jus have dinner... and planned to have crabs~~ yummy.... :)

Lazed around and watched tv until slightly after 6 when I was ordered to bring Toby down so that he could vacuum the house... *pEnGz* so clean oredi still wan vacuum meh... i cant see any dust or dirt oso lor... Anyway I brought Toby down and he pooped 4 times today... hmmm.... so much to let go ah... after that we went back up and then Garry and me went down to tabao dinner... the crab all looked big man... we also order vege and hot plate toufu ... so full sia....

Shortly after dinner, I went to bath Toby cos his daddy started to complain that he was smelly and looked dirty... hmm... so there we were... at our little corner in the kitchen with Toby propped on the small table we bought specially for him... cleaning his ears and then bathing him... after he rolled ard on the towel I started drying him with the hair dryer and cleaning his ears again... I was complaining that it was slightly difficult to clean his ears cos his fur grew again!! Argh... Just brought him for grooming 2 weeks ago onli sia...

Then after much contemplation on whether to try the shaver that Fionn lent me, I decided what the hack jus give it a try lor... hahahah.... initially i was so scared that i might cut his ears so i told garry y dun try shaving his ass 1st... Hahaha... and tis is how it looks like now...

So clean hor.... no fur at all...

But the more i shaved the more shiok it got... hahaha... I ended up shaving the fur around his ears, neck and underside of his mouth...

See how pink his ears look now... cos no fur to cover...
jus like how he looks when he comes back from his grooming... :)

Then I tot y not be more adventurous and I tried shavin his back... at first nothing happened and i was like asking Garry if I was supposed to hold the shaver the other way round... But since he oso didnt know... i tried it and the both of us got a shock... hahaah... cos a small part of Toby's fur jus got shaved off... ahahaha.... heng cant see any difference on his back lor... in the end i decided to leave that area for the experts...

Finished off by combing his paws and powdering him... this boy very hiao wan... simply loves to be powdered... and last but not least wearing back his precious red collor that he adores so much... the minute he got down from the table onli he started running around the house again...

Aww... Paws so white & fluffy....

Hehehe... and then as usual he started getting all slpy and tired...

And this is how he looks like when he gets sleepy...

Think i shall go take a bath and than do my mask liao... Dread leh... still haf ironing to do... tinking of doin it next wk but the whole of next week I'll be so bz lor... what with 2 weddings to attend and us stayin at Rasa Sentosa on Saturday after the wedding and meeting up with my family and the 2 boys at Sentosa on Sunday.... *siGh* Can I not iron anot?!?!? Can't do it tmw since we'd be back in Hougang and then meeting up with the gang at Lian Hoon's plc cos they're celebrating Edison's Birthday... Wow so fast 2 yrs oredi... Tink I will jus leave the whole load for next monday la... the most I just iron the whole day lor... sianz... WTH man I'll be on leave but have to be the ironing slave at home instead of nuaing... HmPf! :(

Yes yes yes... the much awaited JCS Renewal Dinner at Marriott is finally here!!~ As usual everyone came to work waiting to see what the usual suspects would be wearing for this year's theme... "Japan Fashion". I'm glad to say that we weren't that disappointed cos there were a few who really dressed up for the theme...

Next week will be worst... wat with the start of renewal season! Somemore next week I'll be email IC lor... Alamak... I hope they abolish this self-manage team thingy next week in view of the high email volumes like what they did today sia.... God save us all...

Finally the time came for evyone to stop work and start dolling up... heard sme sort of commotion behind me and realised that ShuLynn had kuti Priya a couple of times until her arms turned red... Wahlau now we know who the big bully really is man... Priya's oredi so thin like scarecrow but still that garang women still kuti and she kept askin Priya the kuti from which hand felt more painful... Poor thing~

So cramp and squeezy... we were all worried that Angie might not be able to squeeze into the cabin! Hahaha.... lucky thing we managed to make space for her... When we were at Cityhall trying to squeeze into the train, we suddenly heard this loud sound and realised that someone had actually fainted near the escalator...
