Not Feeling Well

Dry throat, cold and a little feverish. I am not feeling well. I guess this is the culmination of 2 days of 5-6 hours research stints in the library and braving of the cold to walk in -10 degrees celsius weather.

I took a nap just now (after having pita bread, potatoes, egg and vegtables for lunch) after a wave of overwhelming fatigue set in. I woke up with the dreadful feeling again- lost, wondering where I am, and overall homesick. I thought I had settled into the rhythm of life here already. I guess this is due to the stress of the presentation on friday coupled with the mild sickness. No lah, the presentation on Friday should not be stressful at all. It's only 10 mins.

Anyway, talked to gwen this afternoon and am rather sad to find that internship at SPH has been a dread for her, mainly because they are expected to contribute fresh news ideas in the weekly team lunch. The stress of the newsroom! And her ideas got shot down by who else but Susan Long! One really needs to be resilient, creative and brimming with ideas to thrive in the newsroom.


The girls are going for Indian food at a restaurant later. I want to go but 心有余而力不足. I'm afraid that I would be even more sick after going out in the cold cold night. I wonder when this winter will end! Hope it would end exceptionally early this year, if not for anything else but just for me!

I was listening to Ah gui's favourite song just now and I wonder what she is doing now. She has probably woken up and going about her usual da chang jing routine :)
