A not very Happy Chinese New Year...

My Chinese New Year began with a bang...alot of bang...or maybe it should be "poop". Just after having my reunion dinner and I was happily lying on my bed watching tv, waiting for the year of the Rat to arrive...suddenly fever hit me..then i felt nauseous..then diarhoea..my mum also got the same thing. I couldnt sleep the whole night..then next day went to NUH where they put me on drip. I was thinking, first day of new year go hospital really is "大吉大利" . Hope all the bad luck will go away...GO GO GO!!
Me waiting for the doctor to come

Just something i realised, once every few years, i will happen to go to NUH...and everytime i go there, it looks like a totally different place to me. The interior will be renovated , rooms changed, everything changed...just wondering is it necessary to renovate the hospital every few years..I mean its a waste of money. Shouldnt the money to be put to better use? Or is that the reason why our medical fees keep on increasing?

So basically I spent the first two days of my CNY resting at home watching boring mediacrap TV. Why are we watching re-runs after re-runs of drama, movies, sitcoms even on special holidays like this. Scorpion King? Spiderman? Lucky I have SCV if not I will be bored to death at home.

Went to my boss 50th wedding aniversary dinner at grand shanghai restaurant at Grand Corpthorne Hotel. 50 years, its quite amazing for a marriage to last that long and I really admire them. Sometimes I look at my parents and I wish it ended years ago. Seriously, not that I am 黑心 but they are really unbearable. Sometimes I question why did they even get married. If they tell me they are getting a divorce now, I will be the first person to say "Great! Go ahead!". Which was why I was a little jealous when I was at the dinner...seeing my boss's family...three generation..all looking so happy. Anyway, it was an enjoyable night with good food even though my tummy was still recovering from the trauma it suffered earlier.

After staying home for so many days... I told myself ..I MUST GO OUT !!! so..on sunday i went out on a shopping spree...spent over 600 bucks hehe...on cologne, bag and shoes. Wanted to buy more but the shops were closing already.


My leather bag from Fossil, shoes from Pedro and CK Eternity and Feragamo F.

Just felt like pampering myself...since I just got my bonus. I am normally quite thrifty :-o
