Am on-call this wk.. was supposed to be teaching but numbers weren't growing 'cos of the Public Holiday tmr.. not many were keen on coming back for another day of class of Sat & quite a few parents I spoke to say their child is still having their regular day-care school hours. At least, I got the wk "off" until I get called in to do a cover.. got the time to work some other stuff, which was great.
Managed to plow thru the tons of bks in the Bkrm & picked out 64 bks for the Nursery Packs for nxt term.. kinda fun doing it.. heh heh.. going thru bks after bks.. 1st time I'm doing this, so hope the bks I chose will do fine =p Also found out today that I'll be taking over my collegue's job as a Nursery Co-ordinator nxt term.. tt means a whole lot of job responsibilties tt I'll have to take on, overseeing & delegating jobs to those in the Nursery Department.. *gulp* Hope I'll do fine coping with it all & I wonder if tt could mean a lil wage increase.. heh heh =p
New challenges to undertake & face in a mth's time so I hope all will be well!

Nice day
My flu's clearing up, not going thru endless amounts of tissues today & the colour's going back to the normal colour.. lol.. cough's still a lil phlegmy but not raking up tt often.. funnily when I was visiting my God-daughter, not a nose-blowing need or cough escaped me.. lol..
Yep, I finally saw my God-daughter, Sharlotte Anne today.. sweet lil angel, carried her for abt 30-45 minutes & she slept so peacefully even her mouth was open.. heh heh.. it's been a lil crazy on the weather tho'.. I just sat there with her in my arms & my shirt was still soaked thru.. sheesh.. the poor angel must also be irritated being all wrapped up & stuffy, but tt's to protect her frm her flaying arms. She's 5 days old now but already such a sweetheart, lovely cheeks, lips & eyes.. heck, I'm cooing over her like she's my own =p
Went to the Zoo in the late morning to, with my folks & my Bear... haven't been there in a while, the last I was there was to do research on the animals for my final graduation showcase 2 years back & then Steve Irwin was still alive (bless that man's soul) I remember hearing some news going around when we were there that Steve Irwin was popping by for a brief visit & would be co-hosting the Animal Show.. so we tried seeing if we could catch a glimpse of tt famous Crocodile Hunter. Even as my friends & I sat there in the audience watching the Animal Show, I wasn't too sure if the passing rumours were true but in the end, the man himself appeared. Sure it lasted a mere 5 minutes or less but he was his usual joking, jovial self & I got to take two pictures of the man before he was whisked away. Tt was the only time I saw the Crocodile Hunter.

Term's almost ending
Blah.. 2 days after recovering frm severe stomach flu, I'm down with a bad flu & cough.. urgh... those viruses just won't let up, do they *grumble* I just wish I could change my nose.. gosh, dunno how many tissue papaers I've gone thru'.. tt & my nose is hurting frm all tt blowing.. soon I'll be blowing my brains out too.. hah!! I just hate going thru all this.. gotten worse this yr 'cos of my hectic schedule & all tt travelling to & fro tt I do & of course the ridiculous cranky weather also has a part to play.. one moment it's bright & sunny, 2 mintues later it pours like mad & then another 2 mins later, bright & sunny.. sheesh!!! Funny thing, I've been hitting the gym once a week & taking multi-vits & I've gotten more sick than I've ever been.. LOL..
My lovely God-Daughter - Sharlotte Anne came into this world on Monday =) My cousin & his wife wanted to take after my name "Anne" for her, so I'm really proud of tt =D Sh
e weighed in at 2.71kgs (gd weight.. heh heh) & is such a cutie-pie.. I've yet to do see tho' but will try to do so by this wk =) & this is Sharlotte Anne ->

It's been said tt Mourniho's still gonna be around so tt's gd but another bleah-er tt Man Utd got to signe Hargreaves frm Bayern Munich. .bleah.. it's really funny at the beginning, how this guy whose family migrated to Canada from Great Britain, has been playing at Bayern Munich since 16, was selected for the England squad at Euro 2004 & World Cup 2006 in the heat of deep criticism frm the public & press. The general negativity was his supposed German-ness essence & to add to tt, his German/Canadian accent. Hargreaves' first entry into England's first match of the World Cup 2006, was met with vocal abuse frm a number of English fans. Now he is heading for Manchester United & has been accepted after his good performance at the World Cups & was even voted England Player of the Year. Had it not been for his good performances, Hargreaves' abuse frm English fans would still be ongoing.

Been 3 days now & counting
Have no idea what exactly struck me since early Monday morning on the way to work.. was alright at work on Sunday & had an ok dinner at home to celebrate Mothers' Day. Later into the night on Sunday tho', had felt a lil funny in the head & was feeling a lil colder than usual. Didn't think much of it so just popped 2 panadol tabs, took a jacket to bed & covered warmly, using the fan instead of the aircon. Woke up Monday still feeling a lil funny in the head and stomach & was now feeling really hot. Got changed for work, had 2 bananas for bfast & made my way to the train station.
In the train however, I started feeling constricted in my chest & found breathing kinda hard. I took it as being too crowded on the train so I shifted to stand clear the door & everytime the doors slid open, I would struggle to grasp for air. The whole journey make me feel suffocated & I thought once I got out at Newton, all would be fine but boy, was I wrong. At Newton, I was wheezing so badly & found it hard to walk properly, I sat down & called for cover for my afternoon classes because sth in me told me that I wouldn't manage to pull thru' until 6pm. I then made my way to Turf & hoped that I would get better once I was near greenery & in a bigger open space. Once at Turf, I was all pale in colour by now & feeling freezingly cold. I struggled thru' my 4 classes & during breaks had to run to the toilet to throw up. Finally after classes ended, I made my way home.
Back home, I had no appetite at all, just curled in bed with a jacket on & the quilt thrown over me.. 2 hours later, I was sweating profusely & my skin felt cold & clammy. By then, my dad called up & told me to get changed to see the doctor. I was told by the doctor that it was some viral infection & was given meds for digestion, giddiness & fever. The minute I got back home, I could only collaspe in bed til abt 7 plus in the evening. By then I was going thru a swinging back & forth phrase of hot & cold flushes & my mouth tasted cottony & stale. I struggled to get dinner in my stomach because I had to take my meds but could only manage about 8 spoonfuls of rice in soup. Even then, I felt like barfing after every spoonful taken in. As I waited 30 mins later to take my meds, I could feel my stomach insides going in all directions & forced myself to not run for the toilet.
Even showering was painful as the water felt really cold, even tho' it was already at the hottest temp! Once all was done, I slumped back into bed at around 10am. The next morning, I woke up at around 9.30am to get some bfast in my stomach so that I could take my meds.. I tried taking in 2 soft-boiled eggs but could only manage 5 spoonfuls. I had a little ribena as well & then had my meds. 5 minutes later, I was running for the toilet & threw up everything I had just eaten. This was so crazy & I had a class to teach at the centre at 4.45pm. After cleaning up, I went back to lie down, still having hot & cold flushes & awoke again at 1.45pm. This time I got dressed for work & made myself a cup of instant mushroom soup. Once againn, I could only manage taking in half a cup & then made me way out. The journey to work seemed to take forever & by now, I could feel my stomach growling but couldn't take in anything solid. Stopping at 7-11, I bought myself some orange juice.Teaching really took a lot of effort & I was wiped out just after an hr & a half. Not to also mention the number of runs I had before I left for work.. it was as if taking the meds made it all worse.
I decided to see another doctor after work & as prescribed another set of meds.. in addition, I was to stop taking the earlier set of meds, avoid milk, sweet stuff, spicy or oily food. Back home I had half a bowl of porridge with some meat & took the meds.. half an hr later, half of my dinner was in the toilet bowl & 40 minutes later, the remaining half was also in the bowl. The whole I just had half a cup of soup & orange juice tt stayed in but wasn't even hungry.. hardeehaha.. It was just painful for me. Frm Monday til last night I think I must have made a record breaking no. of runs to the loo as well as a record breaking no. of throw ups.
Now it's Day 3 & frm the time I woke up at 9.30am til now (2.15pm) I've already been to the toilet 5 times.. thankfully the barfing has stopped, but the movements in my stomach are still up & at it.. I can just feel & hear 'em. For bfast, I had 6 pieces of chicken biscuits & water & just now for lunch I had half a bowl of plain porridge. Now I'm carving to have a lil sweet drink to parch my throat, but I can't, doc's orders.. water doesn't seem to do it, it kinda tastes weird. Sigh.. I'm just hoping tmr will be better.. seriously, 3 days of runs & throwing up isn't fab at all.

It's been some time now..
Yep, been some wks since I last left a post on here.. getting more busy with the end of the term approaching =p Extra stuff to plan for classes, reports, calls to be made to all the parents.. too many in my opinion.. lol.. oh well, it's Wk 8 now, gotta hang on for 2 more wks of regular classes & 2 wks of Holiday Programmes & then I'm getting time out to recover.
So Chelsea has now lost their retention of the Premier League Cup & hordes are cheering their downfall. I'm not too bothered by it tho.. sure we've lost the Champions League match to Liverpool & drawing with Arsenal killed our chance to maintain a fight with Man U but all's good. They're still a great team in my eyes, having overcome so much esp. for Cech, who almost lost his life. With regards to the Champions League, 2 fantastic teams deserve their places to fight out agst each other - AC Milan & Liverpool have both been consistent thru'out so the choice of the final 2 is deserving. As for the Premier League, Man U has picked up this season so all good cheers to 'em esp for Ronaldo, who's definitely evolved this season. Then again, my Bear had made a bet with me tt his Devils will take home the Treble this yr, to which I disagreed & now tt AC Milan had kicked 'em out of the Champions League chase, there goes his Treble prediction & all's not lost for me as a Blues fan.. heh heh.. to add to tt, I'm not gonna be sweating much 'cos come nxt season, it'll be Man U whom everyone will start hating all over again, just the same back when Mau U won the Treble back in 1999. Oh well, tt's how the world of football fans work, fickle in the teams they hate unless its their team that is the one winning the trophies.
That's why I enjoy talking to non-biased fans, who are open to all views & applaud good efforts of teams, whether or not its their supported team. That's the way I feel how it should be like =) Then again, it's just me.. lolThat's the way I feel how it should be like =) Then again, it's just me.. lol.. Unlike my Bear, who when his team plays badly blames every darn thing tt he can put a blame on, instead of admitting that his team sucked at the game. Then when they do ok, it's as if they're the ultimate superior best & lack any acknowledge of other great efforts. It's like the vision gets so tunnelled & one-sided.. When Chelsea plays badly, I admit if they have been crappy like the unnessary sending off of Khalid in the match agst Arsenal. Sure, some fans will claim Chelsea's ultra arrogant but heck, sometimes some ppl are just tt way, they like to ruffle feathers.. lol.. life's all abt drama, no? Heh heh
Well tt all aside, I'm completely busted.. can't wait for the long break.. YAWNZ... just wish I could sleep for hrs on end thru' the days.. Heck, I'm even yawning so much now & I had half a day since there were no outside classes.. got to sneak in a lil nap & I'm still yawning so much.. bleah.. Gotta finish a lil more stuff then embrace my dear bed.. Hmmm
