Why no pics?

I always try to put in some pictures for my blog entries, as many pple prefer to read blogs that have lots of pics and photos. After scrolling down my blog, I realised that I haven't posted any of my own photos this year.

What happened? First of all, I've taken very few photos this year, even though I've been to places like China, Bali and even Batam (yeah, your eyes are not playing tricks), but I was just quite tired of snapping photos everywhere I go. It might be a good thing though, all of you are getting less nightmares? =D

Anyway, my Panasonic Lumix FX-1 is no longer with me, so without a camera means lesser chance of taking photos too. Three months back, my baby sister decided to migrate to the US to join her bf there, and as a very very nice older sister, I passed some of my unwanted (zen micro mp3 player) and not-so-unwanted stuff (camera) to her.

Upon reaching there, she had had her ROM 1.5 months ago, on the same day as my colleague PL. As she always been the baby of the family, I still find it very amusing that she's already married, even when we received her wedding photos. Just want to wish both couples a very blissful marriage here. =)


I went through some of the old photos and found this one taken when we went Perth two years back, many people feel that we are more alike in terms of looks, as compared to my elder sis.
Anyway, for memory sake, I still feel that I'll need a camera for all those scenery and group photos when I'm in Perth. Therefore, I went to my elder sister.

"Eh, jie.. can lend me your camera? I'm going to Australia."
"Huh? Cannot, I'm flying to London."
"You've been to these places so many times still need to take photos?"
"......"

Even though she boh-chup me after that, I didn't give up. I've decided to use the most well-practiced and effective method.

"Mum? I'm going to Australia but jie don't want to lend me her camera!!"

The next day, after I reached home, my elder sis was already gone but I saw her camera left on my desk. Hehehe.. evil? Sometimes, complaining to the authority does helps.

Just when the hols finally started..

Ah Choo!!! I'm down with flu. Sad huh? I'm hoping to fully recover before I depart for my trip, as it's really terrible to be sick when I'm overseas. I'll feel too sleepy and sickly to enjoy it.

Many of my colleagues had been taking turns to fall sick eversince we started to clear out our mess of papers and books last week, it was super dusty and we were in the air-con staff room doing paperwork most of the times. The virus is super powerful and I thought I'm quite strong as I was feeling quite alright despite sleeping so little everyday (just can't get used to early morning hours).

It started with a bit of headache yesterday, after I rushed back from my medical screening to take a nap. I then decided to give my colleague's wedding dinner a miss as I was too tired to get up. This morning I started to feel a bit of soreness in my throat, so I went to school to get my supplies of lozenges and anti-swelling medicine. I always keep my own stock of all these things as I'm very wary of getting sick with sore throat (just see the picture above, so kiasu right? =P). Then I just kept sneezing and sneezing the whole day..

I came back home feeling so sick and went to sleep right after drinking the chinese herbal tea mum made for me. While I was sleeping, she went out to get the panadol cold relief tablets and sachets of hot remedy for me. So I'm fully armed to combat the flu if it doesn't get any better!
