That is what my GP measured yesterday morning. He gave me antibiotics, 2 types of pills for the fever, and sent me home with 2 days MC. Now the fever is slowly subsiding, to be replaced with lung-busting coughs.   I hate being sick.

I realized I have not updated this blog for nearly a month, post-CNY blues? Anyway, not much has happened since CNY, have not tried to cook any new dishes. Well, I did cook claypot-style chicken rice with a rice cooker, but being the lazy bum I am, I’ll put up a blog entry for that […]

Had a humongous screw lodged on my car tyre the other day. The husband heard an audible ‘dub dub dub’ sound while driving slowly with the windows wound down (it’s true, he has supersonic hearing abilities). When we reached home, we checked the tyres and found a screw in one of the tyres. The next […]

A very merry Christmas to all readers, may this blessed day be enjoyed with loved ones far and near.

I braved the Orchard Road Christmas period evening rush the other day, in a car nonetheless! Was raining cats and dogs too.

I have been a book reader ever since I could remember. You could put me in a bookstore, and I would scan every single shelf until whoever brought me there got fed up and pull me kicking and screaming out of the store. I read anything I can put my hands on, books, magazine, brochures, […]

Most might find idling at home for 2 weeks an idea to salivate over. Not when you are riddled with itchy pockmarks all over your torso, face and scalp. You can’t scratch them, they’ll scar. Stupid chicken pox. I hate you. The little bastards started to appear on Friday. Had a big one right in […]

Have not had dinner with bro & his wifey for quite a while, although we see each other every day. Went to one of his favourite haunt, a small restaurant in a park next to the beach. They served standard fare like steaks, chops, pastas and german sausages. Highlight of the night: Draught Hoegaarden at […]
