finally the weekend is here.
it’s been a crazy week. meetings and meetings (see my previous update), and the bosses pile additional work to me. didn’t have time to drink enough water. didn’t have enough sleep.
so, it started with a scratchy throat on wed early morning. so i woke up and quickly took some propolis, hoping it would soothe my throat. then the day goes by, with 1 glass of water and 1 piece of pizza. ta-da… woke up with an inflamed throat the next day.
so yeah, started with a scratchy throat, then inflamed throat, then thick sticky mucus, then dry cough, and the latest update today is yellow/greenish phlegm. so yeah, the cough it back. i can visualize the next month – 3 visits to the doctor, 3 different kinds of cough mixture, dry cough evolving to cough with lots of phlegm, phlegm colour changing from yellow to pale yellow to clear and runny to clear and sticky. sigh, just thinking of it sucks. but i’m sure i have learnt something from the last episode, so this time i will try everything to shorten the torture.
no chicken, no cold drinks, and no fried food! i must persevere!
anyway, i was really tired last night and dearest had to leave me to sleep early. so sorry dear!
but i woke up today really refreshed. and for a moment, my throat no longer felt inflamed. in fact i felt perfect! but it didn’t last for long. haha. oh, never mind….
oh, and you know what? after i bought the surrendered wife for sheena, i’ve been lemming for it myself. but i couldn’t find it in most bookstores (didn’t go back to borders cos was never in town lately). yesterday dearest bought it for me! the exact same book (there are 2 different covers)! and gift-wrapped! yippee… now i not only have a great book for bedtime reading, i am also on the route to be a (even) better girlfriend (and wife to be). look out for the transformation in me! hahaha…
and we went to ikea! wow… i have been like craving for meatballs and spaghetti for ages! we had a great meal. me – 8 meatballs, a children-sized spaghetti and a chicken wing (yeah, last chicken for me until i recover from the cough). dearest – nasi padang with a huge drumstick, fish, and dunno what (i was too engrossed in my own food to see what he was eating. haha), 2 meatballs, and a chicken wing. woohoo… satisfaction!
after dinner we went to grab some ikea sale items.
black side table for my laptop and occasionally dinner at home. $19.90. not on sale but still cheap cheap.
We didn’t plan to buy this. but it was so cute. it’s for kids actually but i can fit into it (for now anyway. dearest laughs at me and insists i will outgrow it soon) and it is low enough to match the side table. was a great buy! $19.00 only.
this was the thing which was on the shopping list. my current laundry bag is breaking apart and i wanted to buy a real sturdy one. the cloth bag means that it won’t break apart unlike my current plastic one. and it’s wooden, and has got wheels! i thought i could actually push it out to the kitchen for convenience until we fixed it (yeah, dearest fixed it all up. it has got like 60 spare parts?) and realized it is too big to maneuver around in my little room. oh well… and the best thing about this is: it is selling for $19! it’s original price was $49!
we also bought a red digital weighing scale (hear this: $9.90 only!) which tells me that i weight 40.4kg. yippee…, and a red wastepaper basket at $3 and 2 frosted plastic bookends at $0.90 each.
happy with my loots!
it’s now close to 1pm and dearest haven’t called me. i’m hungry! where is he? hahaha… i want to eat bak chor mee! then i’ll come home, do laundry, finish off some work, and clean the room. and it’s going to be a perfect saturday.
