So I went for maths consultation with Mr Ang yesterday morning. Then went down to Kallang for training. Was feeling a little feverish. And you know, when you're feeling unwell, your joints hurts when you try to move. No? Well, mine did, so I wasn't running as hard as I should be. Was quite guilty that I attended the training half-heartedly.
After training, bathed and rushed down to Conrad for uniform fitting. Thank god I wasn't late. I was the earliest, after Debbie. Had a pleasant time chatting together with the other interns even though we barely knew each other. They are all very nice people, looking forward to interning with them. Anyway, I'm working at Oscar's with a number of people, and my uniform shirt is too huge for me! The sleeves went all the way up to the midway point of my palms.
Headed home after the fitting ended. Then to Grandma's house for dinner. Came home and that's when hell began. I started feeling so cold, my joints hurt like shit that I didn't feel like moving much, my head was throbbing like mad, and it worsened everytime I tried to get up from sitting. I was shivering and had to pull the blanket over me when I slept. Then I woke up in the middle of the night feeling so hot. I thought I had slept for a long time, but when I checked my phone time, it was only 12.40am, barely 2 hours after I went to bed. So I went back to bed again, only to wake to my mom shaking me, telling me that I was having a fever and dragging me out of bed to take medication.
The fever subsided this morning. But I'm still left with horrible aching joints, a runny nose, a cough, blocked ears and I'm still feeling cold. I feel like crap now. Trying to cheer myself up by researching on how my family is going to spent the first two free&easy days in Taiwan. I feel like dragging them from Taoyuan to Taipei to shop for the first night. Then on the second day, we will go to the amusement park in Taoyuan? I'm not really keen on visiting alot of attractions in Taoyuan because getting around is a major problem as Taoyuan does not have an MRT system, unlike Taipei. So that leaves only 2 alternatives: buses and cabs. But buses are pretty complicated, even more so for someone who barely knows her Taipei from Hsinchu and worse, sound like crap in her Chinese when conversing with native speakers. Cabs are for, those who have loads of money to spare because a 20 minute-ride can set us back by 25 SGD!?! And Singaporeans were complaining about our recent taxi fare hike? Seriously, I would rather spend that kind of money on other things.
Okay, I'm going to go watch tv!

First of all, I'm a Kpop fan, especially of 2PM, MBLAQ, 2NE1 and FT Island. Actually, I like Kpop, Korean entertainment, Korean dramas, Korean language, Korean culture, Korean food, basically anything Korean. So I guess you can call me a fan of Korea.
Second, eating is one of my favourite pastimes. I think my size says it all. =P I'm not picky about food but there's only one thing that I don't like eating, that is, sweet potato.
Third, I love sports. Been playing table tennis for about 6 years now, and floorball, 2 years. But I would have to say that I like floorball more. I don't know, but putting the ball into the goal, making an accurate pass, chasing after the ball, even sweating like a pig, gives me the sense of satisfaction that nothing else can.
Fourth, I can't live without the Internet. You can take away my phone, TV, mp3, bed, but please don't take away my Internet because...I just can't live without the internet.
Lastly, if there's anything I dislike, it would have to be making decisions. Where to go, what to eat, what to do next, which is nicer/better...I just don't like deciding. I always leave it to others because honestly, it doesn't matter where we're going, what we're eating or what we're doing to do. What matters most is the company and whether we're having a great time together.
