come undone..

I succumbed to fatigue yesterday.. I couldn’t bring myself to go to work though i was almost ready to go to work.. and my allergies were beginning to act up too.. i was so tired that I went back to sleep at 8.30am and woke up to have breakfast at 11am. I slept with Nardyne for 1hr in the afternoon too.. it was good weather to sleep in, it has been raining since Wednesday and only stopped yesterday afternoon.. but now it looks like it’s going to rain again..

main contributing factor for fatigue is the intensive lecture I had last week.. 7pm to 10pm on weeknights, 1.30pm to 5.30pm on Saturday, 10am to 5pm on Sunday was no joke for my system. I don’t get enough rest and I am missing Nardyne.. I felt SO HAPPY to see her at the end of Sunday lecture, waiting with her daddi at the atrium, it was a great feeling to see her walking quickly to me.. i should have taken leave on Monday to rest but it just didnt occur to me..

I have not been coming home straight from office this week either, we went to look for a new microwave machine on Monday, i had tutorial on Tuesday, I had a team dinner on Wednesday.. which all accumulates and contributes to my fatigue.. which also explains why i was so drowsy in the afternoons for the past few days..

anyway team dinner at Villa Bali was great. Julie and I arrived first and we were so hungry that we ordered drinks and chicken satay while waiting for the rest.. then Rob and Corrine arrived and we ordered another round of drinks and more appetizers while waiting for the rest.. then the rest arrived, together with Gerard who is visiting us until Saturday, and we ordered dinner of phad thai, pineapple rice,  tom yum soup, calamari and chicken and another round of drinks.. i think i ate too much and drank too much but the company was great, the food was great, the atmosphere at Villa Bali was great that I would like to go there again some time..

singing in the rain..

No matter how fast I tried to get ready this morning, I wasn’t able to leave home before it started pouring. You see, I love the rain. I love the heavy downpours that we sometimes get. And the wind and lightning and thunder. But I hate it when it rains on my laundry day. And I hate to carry an umbrella.

I had left my small foldable umbrella in the office and didn’t want to carry the big umbrella with me. So I decided to put on my black IP Zone jacket, black covered shoes and head off to work. It wasn’t too bad getting to the bus stop. From the lift, I just needed to go down the steps, cross Fajar Road, walk to the other end of a block, cross Saujana Road and I’ll have shelter all the way to the bus stop.

The problem was getting from my work bus stop to my work place. There was no shelter and the rain was kind of heavy so my scarf got wet and my jacket was damp. No regrets there for not carrying an umbrella until now.

Side effects of getting wet is getting a headache in the afternoon. So blah!! I think I need a coke..
