So uh. Yeah. Fell sick on Saturday after I went to Queensway Shopping Centre to buy a new pair of outdoor shoes for my upcoming Japan trip. Talking about the shoes, I’m kinda regretting that I didn’t go with my gut to get Salomon. \u00a0Instead, I was being persuaded to buy The North Face, which was um, well, not enough cushioning for my feet. \u00a0We’ll see how it goes though. \u00a0I might get insoles or heel cushions if it feels bad after a couple of months.<\/p>\n
Anyway, I was having a bout of running nose, while Bruno wasn’t feeling too well either. \u00a0So we kinda just get our arses home by early evening. \u00a0And my body succumbed to the virus. -_- \u00a0Nose just kept running non stop, and I had to pop Fedac at night and a couple of Neuflo pills as I felt sorethroat coming up as well. \u00a0Spent the entire Sunday sleeping too. \u00a0Woke up at 11am, then got out of bed to eat, then climbed back to bed to snooze again till 3pm. \u00a0All that – with a headache. \u00a0Meh I was just literally sleeping my long weekend away. \u00a0Felt better on Monday, so just sat in front of the PC and WoW for the entire day… while having a super bad migraine that felt like something was\u00a0tearing apart the insides of my head. \u00a0And I actually went down to Percolate to buy another cup of coffee at 6.30pm…<\/p>\n
… which was a\u00a0bad move. \u00a0I couldn’t sleep – at all – last night. \u00a0At 1.30am, my eyes were still wide open. \u00a0Whenever I tried to close my eyes, things just flashed in front of my eyes – random things. \u00a0Odd shapes and sizes, random 1-second scenes from my memories – everything just came in a rush until\u00a0I opened my eyes again. And needless to say, I was in a panic state of mind. I think.<\/p>\n
Left my boss a Whatsapp message telling her about my insomnia, and that if she didn’t see me in office in the morning, it means I’ll be taking an urgent morning leave from work. \u00a0Felt a bit better after sending that message, but still uneasy that I still couldn’t sleep at 2am. \u00a0Messaged Bruno a bit, but the lad was playing Dota 2 with his friends, so I didn’t really wanna disturb him much. \u00a0He was kind enough to drop me a bit of advice here and there when I was kinda at a lost. not knowing what to do and feeling rather helpless. (I really hate not being able to sleep when I know I’ve got to get up for work a few hours later.) Finally settled with watching a Dota 2 match – F5 vs FTMR (For The Mother Russia) – and managed to finish watching the whole game 2, while yawning umpteen times. \u00a0I thought I’d be ready to sleep, but nope, the moment I put down my phone and close my eyes – the flashes came again. So, oh well, I continued watching the stream again… and I think I actually dozed off a little (YAY!) at the start of the third game at around 3.15am. But hurhur, woke up 30 minutes later with eyes wide open. \u00a0Zzzzzz…. but I could feel the tiredness creeping in, so I tried to sleep… and yup, I think I managed to sleep at 4am. \u00a0Woke up at 6am due to alarm, and I just kept snoozing the alarm until 6.30am before I totally shut it off. \u00a0Went back to sleep again, and finally woke up at 7am. \u00a0I sat up on bed, wondering if I should just continue sleeping, then decided that I should be awake enough for work, so here I am, typing this blog entry in office. Not too sure how long I can survive the rest of the day till I hit the bed… but we’ll see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
