Chickenpox-ed

It was a nasty 2 weeks at home. First, it was 2 days of high fever, 39 degree celsius. I was in a state of delirium, alternatively feeling hot and cold. Both visits to the doctors, I was given only painkiller for the fever. It did occur to me maybe it could be dengue until the characteristic chickenpox lesions appeared on the third day.

First few days I was really in depression, seeing my face bloated with lesions, but thanks to an individual, I was brought out from my misery. =)

I was given 2 weeks of medical leave and I rotted at home doing nothing but reading the news, watching english drama series and gaming. It is just so unproductive and I missed my range! The only productive thing I did is probably monitoring the stock market. Did quite a bit of research on blue chips before buying 2 lots of SingPost shares.

The news reported recently that borrowers owed National Library Board $5.4million in unpaid fines and charges. And this week I received a reminder slip requesting me to pay up for my $0.60 for a overdue loan incurred in 2003. Felt a little odd writing a cheque for $0.60 but no way am I going to the library on my precious weekend to make payment.



Attended Chan Hui's birthday chalet the day before. Nice to see the TB030 peeps! Next event is Michell's birthday celebration on 20th October. Everyone please mark this on your calendar!

Reporting back to work on Tuesday. Till then.

1 Year of NSF, yay!

Today marks the first anniversary of serving the nation. I still recall vividly the transpired events exactly one year ago on a Saturday. Time flies, it's already one year and things are very different from what I expected on my first day - 09/09/2007.

Right now, having a high fever at 39.0 degree celsius. Gee, I've never had a fever ever since my enlistment. Guess I slacked too much in camp.

Chan Hui's birthday celebration coming up next week, TB030 peeps, please turn up in full force alright?

Anniversary of another kind coming up next week. *grin* =)
