Yosemite Park...

After a treacherous drive on Highway 120, sitting next to a nervous driver(my colleague haha) who chooses to drive with one hand unknowingly he swerves, and overlooking the cliff on the passenger side..It is great see big stones and tall trees as a sign of security and that God do exist for such beautiful nature and the fact that I am still alive!

Yosemite Park is a wonderful place to camp and live a summer away..Where u can enjoy a bath in the streams, where occasionally a mountain lion chooses to watch..
Where I didn't actually see one, but my American colleagues did. I just caught a few deers and squirrels.

Another week before I get back to Singapore and probably going down to Lake Tahoe for another nice scenery outing rather than Premium outlets of shopping!

It will be another 8 hrs of driving back and forth with my same old colleague...haha
Ooh..i can't wait for the weekend to come! - God keep me safe!

Got myself a Chevy !

Got myself a Chevy too...is just to mirror my bud's http://www.jason.sg blogging post where he really got himself a OPC Chevy while i got mine rented here in San Jose.
A Chevy Cobalt..here's a pic of it..shocking womanly red!But its a real good drive, though quite an oil guzzler, finish 1 tank in 3 days, but heck i keep getting lost in San Jose!

Recently..I can't get this song off my mind...especially after watching the MTV..
And after a really bad day at work...
Listen to the song..if u can get a copy..


Song lyrics: Bad Day by Daniel Powter


Where is the moment we need at the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue skies fade to grey
They tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carryin' on

You stand in the line just to hit a new low
You're faking a smile with the coffee to go
You tell me your life's been way off line
You're falling to pieces everytime
And I don't need no carryin' on

Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

Well you need a blue sky holiday
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don't need no carryin' on

You had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day

(Oh.. Holiday..)

Sometimes the system goes on the blink
And the whole thing turns out wrong
You might not make it back and you know
That you could be well oh that strong
And I'm not wrong

So where is the passion when you need it the most
Oh you and I
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost

Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
You've seen what you like
And how does it feel for one more time
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

Well finally will be meeting up my "sisters" this weekend..our workaholic lives finally figured out a schedule.. to gather and meet for an afternoon..
Great time to share the bad days...for the past months

High Fever: 38.1 degrees of tension

Coming back from 3 weeks of Europe with absolutely no time to read the national propaganda (news)...I was totally unaware of a dengue outbreak in Singapore..

I was back working my butt off at work...and of course having late nights..but on Fri morning..i felt the chills..i tried to measure my temperature from the thermometer issued from the Post-SARS period.Damn - 37.1 degrees...coming from a guy who is usually a cool low 36degrees...indeed I am getting warm..(And crap - my panadol supply in my drawers are gone - from giving them away to colleagues since I don't fall sick often, company clinic is also closed)

Was feeling too ill from the chills and did not go for lunch..measure myself again and damn I was heating up ..37.5degrees - and this time I am not sure if it was due to a irritating colleague of mine who was pissing me off..(Was having a massive headache at the time,seldom have headaches..maybe once a year?).
Should I go visit a nearby Doc? But my work is not done yet..finally I gave up..finished my report and sent them out to my customers...teleconference at 6pm is a no-go.Told my boss and drove home and gone to a clinic near my home...

Stepped right in when they were closing..and Thank God because the Doctor measured my temperature again and I was not HOT...38.1degrees...my highest yet..(think in my life) and she started explaining there was a dengue outbreak in Singapore!

And that could explain for my fever or its a post trip Europe fever I brought back..but usually within 2-3 days and not a week..
Or I have been working too hard..tired fever...
I hope its that and not dengue..but then I remembered I got a mosquito bite couple of days ago on my head...

damn...with some medicine..i rushed home to sleep..and while taking my medicine - I saw the front page news...about dengue.. So it was the truth...

So I slept with breaks in the night of sticking my thermometer in my mouth and taking the temperature...all the way til afternoon the next day and it was fluctuating from 36.7 to 37.5 degrees all these while..

Got up at 1pm to have brunch and read the papers with coverage of dengue outbreak in the newspaper again - and one of the address is just next to my place...
Shit.

Now I can only monitor my temperature as the doctor advice and if its still high by Sunday, I need to take a blood test..

Back to sleeping...got my official excuse to be a pig.

Back from 3 weeks of Europe...

After 3 weeks in Europe of Sausages and Churches..i think i had quite enough of them.
It has been 2 weeks of work in Holland and Germany with another 4 days of relaxing with my relatives in Sweden/Denmark


Now I have to figure out where and how most efficiently can I lose the extra weight gained over the weeks...

Hope the hoops/blading in the coming weeks will help...
