Nothing went right

I really don't know what was wrong.. but nothing quite went right end of last week

In trying to save my phone from dropping onto the ground, I ended up scratching myself with my own nails.. its a really bad scratch.. fren asked if was a humie or a cat.. lol.. best thing was I dropped my phone still, later on in the day.. that scratch was for nothing..

Had kinda like a sudden stomach seizure on fri just before lunch.. but thankfully it didn't last long.. Late afternoon.. realized that someone had blundered my client's transaction at work which gave me a heart attack in trying to resolve it.. then came the huge scare.. I was standing at my colleague's cubicle when suddenly everything around me started spinning! Luckily I was quick enough to hold on to something before I fell.. Managed to regain my balance and staggered back to my seat.. but my head was spinning so badly I thought I was going to die!! couldn't really fathom what was wrong.. lack of food/water/sleep??? can't be.. I've had dizzy spells before but that was way back in secondary school days and nothing this severe.. I was wondering if it was low blood pressure but I thought that was a thing of the past too since recent trips to the doctor showed that my blood pressure was back to normal.. so I napped in the office for about half an hour..

thought I would be fine after dinner.. got betta, but could still feel the light-headedness..
thought I would be fine after a nite's rest.. but I could kinda feel something moving in my head and was still feeling faint even as I just laid in bed... this is when I knew things are worse than I had thought.. can't dismiss it, so I made a trip to the doc on sat morn..

diagnosed with virus infection that affects the mid-ear fluid balance (or something along those lines) i seem to be getting all sorts of weird diagnosis recently.. mainly virus infection of all sorts.. kinda freaking myself out over what is seriously wrong with me??? I wasn't in the right state to ask more questions in relation to the infection since all I wanted to do was go home and rest my head on a pillow..

googling about it scares me though.. but at the very least, I know I need to change dietary habits.. like staying off caffeine... Zzzzzzzzzzz

Long Long Weekend =)

Looking at the no. of days of leave I have this year and also to reward myself for the hard work over the last 3 months, decided to take 2 days off and relax.. and so I did that over Mon and Tues and had a super duper long weekend.. however, what started out to be a relaxing break, turned out much otherwise.. in a good way though..

I aint too bad for someone who tried wakeboarding for the second time (the 1st time I tried was more than a yr ago!).. I could stand and lasted for quite a while.. of course I had my fair share of crashing head on into the water that really really hurts! not forgetting the arms that became so sore after the session.. After a morning of strenous exercise, I slept the rest of Sunday away.. lol

Rose at the unearthly hour of 530am on Mon to drive my bro back to camp for his reservist.. well.. he asked me to and I felt really obliged to do so because he's been such a doting bro who picks me up when I asked him to.. so bleary eyed, I took a morning drive.. got back at 7am and crashed back into bed.. bombarded with smses but I simply ignored them.. my frens were trying to reach me so that we could set off for Johor earlier.. but of course they failed.. heheh.. we were headed for Palm Resort for my first outing on the green after getting my PC.. and I sux at golf!! thankfully for the golf ball that rolls and rolls and rolls... it started pouring after we were done with hole #5.. what a thunderstorm.. drenched and miserable.. the mosquitoes came out and had their fill too.. =\ The rain lasted really long such that we didn't have time to finish the whole course.. really dead tired on the way back.. I shan't complain, since I got to nap on the car unlike the poor guy driving.. my body ached so badly, I wondered why I pay to torture myself...

Finally, a ME day to end my leave! started with a massage in the morning.. although the back hurt (prolonged hours of sitting in front of the pc resulted in stiff shoulders and bad posture resulted in backaches), I felt great after that.. could feel that all the tension had been released.. then off to get a hair trim.. i realised the hair trim took TWO HOURS only after I left the salon.. I only had 1 inch trimmed off.. and 2 hours.. lol.. not complaining because this is the salon I frequent and I think they're good (else I won't be a repeat customer).. but just wondering how they make money like that.. since the hair cut took longer than expected, I had no time to shop!! headed straight for facial.. ultimate pampering.. =p

Rejuvenated.. but wished I didn't have to go back to work!!
