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...

Blogging gone famous

Never knew that speaking your mind out on the digital realm can make one famous these days...
Always thought that in our repressed society -where an official Speakers corner is never buzzling with activity, can now take place in the comforts of our room...

Is this advent of speaking up due to the fact that we are lazy?And indeed with our fingers and with the enabling of technology can one be empowered with authority?

It came to the recent news that an online petition could possibly resulted in the resignation of a Charitable Org CEO who is paid peanuts and the entire Board of Directors?
Or is it just lucky that the Peanut did not actually have a brain, to go against the Kachang Putih seller?( We must remember that this peanut did indeed won 2 battles before with peas)

But indeed I admire these bloggers who have come forth and made a presence which have allowed many to speak up...

Back then i only knew a Mr.Brown who made National Education a must-read, and he was one of the foremost admired outspoken person who dared to joke about the political scene in our repressed island...where youths who have not gone wasted, constantly read with a fervent heart and share his "rebranded" humour.

Press on ..u crazy bloggers..let the fingers do the walking

Typing a lullaby

Having slept too much, i am having difficulty sleeping right now..
I guess thinking and typing myself to sleep would be something new...
Perhaps i can start counting words instead of sheeps....

Ok maybe recalling what I have done wasting the weekend should help set my goals higher for this new start of the week.

Sat- went to east coast to attend my one of my cg's members baptism...
constantly thinking more abt the big step i took to get baptised last year...and how little i've come so far since...
the wilderness has started and i've been in constant struggle...with work..as well as with being ostracised and persecuted...can't imagine this was the other side i used to look from just a couple of years ago..

anyway followed by some hangout session with my cg as well as trying to diet with a pathetic focaccia sandwich in Mac's

Then admiting that i need to work that off...a short blading session ensued.

Followed by a gym session to work off the other terrible Mac cafe creation - mango smoothie

Sun - Church service followed by another guilt-stricken brunner buffet(brunner is breakfast,lunch cum dinner)..
and having to digest so much food, i needed some rest after the hard work my stomach had to go through...and as a pig would do..eat and sleep...

3hrs later,woke up in the night..feeling a need to shoot some hoops led me to the court, taking myself on...and thinking of the constant need to humble oneself when shots you think you can't possibly make start to go in....

what a weekend..humbling and dieting...
so what goals can not be higher than this in the coming week...?

First words:.

Listening to xmas jazz on a sat noon,somehow got me thinking ... (and when one starts thinking)..i guess its only logical to get it noted somewhere on record... being set in the lazy mood...i think sinking in front of my comp would be good start.

And being born in an era which technology is the forefront engine of the economy, let's get BLOGged

Now getting comfy in my seat...begins my online confessions and thoughts disposition.
