PERFECT Surprise!

OK I'm not going to upload any pictures today... why? Cos somehow or another I lost my "compose in HTML" format. I don't know why and I don't intend to harp on it today. I just want to Blog it out!

Anyway after a day of MC thanks to food poisoning, I'm back to work. Well I thought that it's gonna be same old minus the cool fact that I get to dress down today cos we won some office event again!

Well after lunch, Old fashion bean asked me if I brought my ipod. So I sluggishly said "yes". As I lazily reach out to my ipod, he placed a whole box of "something" on the cubicle divider. Before I can make out what that "something" was, ET started walking towards me and sang "Happy Birthday" to me. HUH!?! (but my birthday isn't today...)

Then, boss suddenly popped her head out of her cubicle and said something too (gosh! I can't recall cos everything happened all at the same time). MK started giving me the impish smile and said,'' that's the reason why I can't get you the rose quartz bracelet." Even Doc G seemed to know what is happening...

GOSH!!! First time! For the first time! I'm totally taken by surprise! hahahaha.. It turned out my delectable and my dearest colleagues has gotten me a TKD ipod player + charger + radio + alarm clock! Woohoo... how cool can it get!!! THEY TOTALLY ROCKZ!

In the past years, I would usually be able to sniff out the possible surprises way before the pressie reach me. But this year! muahaha! I'm glad someone beat me to it! So that I can have a TRUE BLUE Surprise!

I was totally dumbfounded. I hadn't even mentioned this "want" of mine to anybody except CY and YS. But well... I changed my mind after I got wall*e. But well this is even better! (though I still love wall*e).

Hmm... Now to showcase my latest darling gadget... Well, it's in slick black. It's very polite and greets me with "Hello" when it's starting up and "Bye" when it's shutting down. (Old fashion bean actually thought I went bonkers with joy when I mirrored a high pitch "Hello" to my latest gadget... duh!).

Did I mention that it has a remote control. YES! it can control the songs from the ipod remotely from my bed or else where as long as I can see the menu on the ipod.

It has a radio too! So cool! Cos ipod is definitely short of that on it's own. This way, I can also tune into the latest songs when I get sick of those in my ipod. harhar... I'm lovin' it already!

Yes there's an alarm clock too.. But I think I will skip this function cos I don't wanna send a deadly "karate chop" my latest darling gadget to death with my daily morning wrestle.

Well, I'm sure there are much more functions waiting for me to discover them.... Which I will! Slowly...

In the meantime, I wanna thank Old fashion bean and fiz for coming up with this idea and turning the whole of Singapore upside down to get this wonderful gift! I wanna thank boss for generously letting out your precious vouchers so that this purchase is possible! I wanna thank ET for singing me the beautiful birthday song! It's one of the sweetest song I've ever heard! (I'm serious. NO Kidding!) I wanna thank MK, Beloved Little face, Doc G and R for making this gift so so so possible! I'm SO TOUCHED!!!!!! Like in my earlier email, you all WOW-ed me to tears! Muchas Gracias!!!! Love ya all... MUACKZ!

Piggy scare

As I just returned from US, I'm constantly under the suspicion that I might be a carrier of the piggy flu with no symptom. Paranoid I guess. Regardless, I religiously monitored my temperature- no fever. Wore a mask when YS and CY came to visit me.. (Ya I looked like a terrorist, according to YS...) But I had a bad sore throat which later became a runny nose and cough on the 7th day since my arrival- I almost went berserk!

Anyway although I recovered from the runny nose, the cough stubbornly refused to go away. When I went back to work on Monday, I was totally taken aback by the situation in the office. The entire office is now coughing and sneezing... GOSH! I'm almost 1000% I'm the CARRIER... Although my boss and colleagues painstakingly told me otherwise. (Oh they are SOOO SWEET and Trusty of me...)

Anyway, silly me literally JUMPED at every cough and sneeze- AIYO!!! So since I cannot concentrate on my work without noticing the cough/ sneeze and going around asking, " HUH! Did you get this cough/sneeze before my return???", I took time off to see the company doctor...

Guess what the doctor said????

1) piggy flu's incubation period is 3-4days- You are WAYYYYYY passed it.

2) No fever? - Even more sure...

3) Overtime the moment you are back to work?- Your immunity to local flu is down

Conclusion: You came back to Singapore and caught the local flu instead.... What an irony....

DUH!!!! I almost cried out of relief man... Yippie!!!!!! I can finally spare my heart the unnecessary stress...
