I wanted to write about CNY but I haven't. CNY is over and I had to work on the last day of CNY, which was a Sunday. How's that supposed to be for the rest of the year?

The past week has been trying. I'm physically drained but my mind doesn't rest easily. Too many things to think about and to do on top of the recovery we have got. To make things worse, I've got this sore throat that refuses to go away and that has become a bad cough. Because I took some meds on Sunday, when I saw the doctor during Monday afternoon, he said my temperature was normal and gave me some anti-swelling pills and lozenges. He asked me if I needed an MC. Seeing that it was already close to three plus, I said it was okay, I didn't have to get an MC. That night, we worked till 11 plus because we couldn't get the stuff right and had to keep reprinting the info. While taking the cab home that night, I felt like a broken-down machine and was too tired to cry.

Through this crisis at work, I realised many things. How people have changed and how you can rely on some others when you really need them. Thanks to you, you and you for being there for me when I needed you.

CNY

It was a mad rush on the second day of CNY, when I visited XY's place at Bukit Batok and then went down to CK's place at Pasir Ris. Bought a lot of food for the potluck at XY's and it was really nice to see the guys and girls again. Eight of us reunited. Kai in Hong Kong, SF in the Caribbean, and the rest of us doing our own stuff in Singapore. Gary talked about the school stuff while SF and Jamie talked about how it was like travelling in Japan. I miss hanging out with them like this.

Just digressing -- BTW, big news. XY's getting married on 17 March!!

Over at CK's house, I saw Magic (her small, small dog) at the door and was wondering if it was a mat or something. Got to play with it for a while; it's so adorable. I wish I had a dog or cat. Too bad it's not a realistic option since I'd probably not have time for it.

OK, gotta go rest now. Must be prepared for tomorrow. Hope it's not going to be another day of madness.
