laptop woes, begone!

it’s been a week since my laptop died on me, and thanks to dad (maybe it’s just a sheer stroke of luck!), he managed to get my internet working again! so now, i’m happily blogging on my trusty old laptop.

i think i’m beginning to act like a hoarder cos i don’t change anything of mine. i don’t wish to change my laptop. don’t wish to change my phone, and even if i’m changing, i’m still getting samsung. don’t wish to change my keychain though moringo’s hook is almost falling apart.

so i was really surprised and pleased when i saw the action city at causeway point still selling the moringo keychain. i’ve searched many action city stores but i can never find it. thought they’ve stopped selling it. so while i was at the shop today, i bought myself a moringo keychain (looks a little deformed, but will get better in due time), a moringo huggie and a white tofu hp strap (which i’m going to use as a keychain).

=D) – that’s me grinning away with a double chin. ha

i have gastritis?

like huh? i never used to have a gastric problem – the occasional gastric pain when i didn’t have 1 meal not counted. but i’ve been experiencing extreme pains in my abdomen since sunday. at first, i thought it was probably mild case of food poisoning (no diarrhoea) cos i only had mee siam from the new wang cafe, then the pains started. soon i developed a fever that night. yesterday morning i still had a slight fever (37.6 only lah), but i was told i had to stick to my original appt time of 115pm cos ‘it was ok’, like not that hot, still can wait kind. i was seeing a doctor for SATA for another reason. when i went for my appt and already in the doctor’s room, the nurse said i had to go outside, get a new queue number and wait all over again if i wanted to see the doctor for my fever, body aches and abdomen pains. wth right? i’m already in the room, would it kill to just check me for 5 more minutes? so i did what i was there for originally and didn’t consult doctor for my F-BA-AP.

today, i almost wanted to faint when i was doing my rounds in town. the pain suddenly became so excruciating in the morning and afternoon that i couldn’t walk and breathe. i decided to go and see a doctor. luckily there wasn’t a wait. final verdict from doctor is that i have gastritis. and i now have to eat simple soup stuff, no coffee and tea, no spicy food until my stomach is less acidic. oh and also the medicine. =(

laptop woes

my 3 yr old fujitsu has got some weird virus, i think. i came back on thursday night and i couldn’t get on the internet for some unknown reason. when my laptop started up, it said there was a missing file. but i didn’t delete anything, and i was still playing viwawa before i shut down the laptop the night before. then on friday morning, we had dim sum brunch with my IT-savvy uncle who suggested me to do a system restore. i tried it earlier on, resetting it to 19th. i made it worse cos when the system rebooted after restoring, i had 2 files missing now. dad suggested to restore it back to the 17th. WHAT ON EARTH DID MY LAPTOP KENA? now i had THREE files missing! =(

* btw, i’m using dad’s laptop to surf and blog now.

STOP DOING THAT!!!

i have quite a few pet peeves, some of which i think quite bo liao, but it really irks me. and unfortunately, my colleagues LOVE to do it to me, and see me get all huffed and puffed up. somehow, my reactions crack them up. DUH

the-car-fanatic loves to pull the back of my chair so that i lean backwards slightly. hate it cos i have phobia of falling backwards (who doesn’t?). even though i’ve told him and the others in the dept not to do that, he still does it from time to time. for the kick of it, or really forgot, i dunno. but me is not happy with him when he does that.

the-IT-guy always say things like ‘wah… you very smart leh… learn the ropes so fast, hen li hai leh!’. i know he’s praising me (or maybe just say to entertain me) but i also don’t like it. it makes me feel weird and squirmish. it puts pressure on me cos it’s like i’m expected to know everything but i don’t. and i hate it when i fall short of ppl’s expectations. i paid my dues too ok… don’t forget i joined the dept as temp staff in nov so certain things like product knowledge have already been drilled into my brain since then. i ought to be shot if i don’t know the products by now cos i’ve been doing inventory when i joined the company!

My Sunday & Monday

Continuing on my previous food entry, I met up with Jac again yesterday afternoon for some sushi. Meanwhile, Jac, I thought you’re going to complain abt that irritating waitress who’s like so dumb and didn’t allow you to take pictures? BITCH BITCH!!! Let it out! LOL

I’m going to play cheat and copy the pictures from Sakae’s website. This is what the 3 of us ate:

Then, like it wasn’t enough Japanese food yesterday, I met up with Joyce today for Ichiban Sushi at IMM. Seriously Japanese food overdose. But I’m still craving for Sakae Hotate Mentaiyaki. Damn good scallops with some fish roe & mayo!

For lunch, IT-guy and I lunched at Toast Box Raffles City. Bad choice. I had the laksa bee tai mai with barley drink set ($5.50) while IT-guy had mee siam, barley drink and kaya toast. I think the mee siam wasn’t that good cos IT-guy was mentioning that the bee hoon was pretty hard (like not cooked properly). The laksa was so gritty that I was so conscious throughout my entire meal (scared I got some of the grit stuck in between my brackets). It wasn’t enough good. Bleah.
