Walking Matchstick

I felt so seriously sick over the weekend I had to take Monday morning off because I was just so fucked up. After coming home from work on Monday I just could not take it anymore, and went straight to the local clinic to get some help. The doctor said I was experiencing high fever, at 39.6 degrees.

Gosh, no wonder it felt as if my entire forehead was burning.

I was a walking matchstick.

For Three Years In A Row

I got nothing.

Yep, at the company annual appreciation dinner, I again walked away with nothing. This is the third consecutive year I did not get anything, not even a crappy $1,000 coupon for me to do some shopping spree at Sogo department store.

The dinner was okay, the same food with a lot of noise and a lot of beer. Again, the management people are up on the stage telling everyone now different this year is going to be and how successful we will be in the future, and then the same disappointing closing, walking away with nothing.

I guess I shouldn’t be too depressed. I did go up on stage for BenQ Singapore Projector Team of the Year. I did not actually win the award, I was just on stage to fill up some room.

As a closing, this is the kind of face I make when I was in my own state of mind.

Deja Vu

Over the last three weeks, it was like deja vu…

The same Thursday morning, the same luggage, the same taxi waiting downstairs at 4:00am, taking the same 6:20am flight to Ho Chi Minh, holding similar looking flight coupons, board the same Cathay Pacific flight, same flight attendants, and so on.

Sometimes, I wake up in the middle of the flight, but my mind turns blank, unable to recall which flight I am on, or the destination.

I used to find flying fun, but now if I need to do it more than twice a month, believe me, you’d be crazy too.

More Than Two Years, All Gone…

New layout, new look, everything new now. I lost everything at My Hourglass. All blog entries, all images, messages, more than 2 years worth of memories, all gone for good. Apparently my host had a major server failure and the next I knew was an empty website.

Maybe I shouldn’t be this pessimistic, but then again, it is hard not to think how I just lost everything so suddenly. Sigh. Sad.
