Post V-day sickness

My last post was for Valentine's Day and the day to pleasure myself turned out to be a day to torture myself. I had potato chips and instant noodle to treat myself for the Valentine's Day and I end up sick until now. I started to have sore throat on Friday after the Valentine's during company CNY lunch and I was literally on the bed through the weekend due to fever. The fever went away on Monday but the cough and sore throat continued to worsen and I even took MC on Thursday to be knocked out whole day due to the cough mixture.

Ironically I did not learn and I had KFC Mac and Cheese Burger on the Sunday after that. Haha.. Add on McD Crispy Chicken and Popeye's last Saturday and no wonder that I am still taking cough and sore throat medicines until now. So far I have been able to stay away from bubble teas since 2019 began but my limit for potato chips seem to be two weeks. Lol. So yes, I still had one episode of my 2 weekly potato chips and on Sunday I had 3 packs of Jagabee and a pack of Kettle's since I was planning that they would be my last until Easter. I am aiming to give up potato chips and the fast food for Lent on top of the bubble tea.

For the past 3 weeks I have been binge watching a Thai drama and its sequel from Youtube. These are the first Thai dramas that I ever watched. Haha. One thing that I enjoy is how soft spoken Thai people are. Even when they are arguing, they are not really raising their voice like Chinese or Korean dramas. It sorts of remind me that the last time I went to Bangkok was in 2008 and looking back at the photos taken back then, perhaps it is time to revisit and retake photos. Haha.. Omg.. legs being cut off, slanted building, and I could not stand straight back then. 

Talking about travelling, with fewer days of annual leave that I have, it is time to find new destinations that I can visit during long weekends. My ex-colleagues are going to Taiwan this May and I decided that I should join them. Haha.. I don't care where they are going and what they are going to do since my purpose is just to explore a new country and to be acquainted with the system. They are going for a week but I will just be there for 4 days to save my leave and because I am not sure if I would love it there. I always consider myself to be blind, deaf, and mute there since I am a Chinese who cannot read, understand, and speak Chinese and that is the main reason I am avoiding Hong Kong, China, and Taiwan. Well this time I will have my friends as tour guides so why not. I did take a bit more time to do the bookings and I guess it was my luck since eventually I made the booking when Scoot starts a sale for Passion Card holder. I save about $50. Yay. Oh ya, another reason why I am willing to try Taiwan is that since I have Japan visa, I can simply apply for the entry permit online and it saves the hassle of applying visa.

Despite my sickness, the past 3 weeks have been full of socialising. I went for a Landmark introductory session (it is a pass for me because although it has a nice concept, it reeks more of marketing than a personal improvement course), a chit-chat session for my next volunteering stint as a youth career coach, a chit-chat and the first session of Landings, and my uncle's 70th birthday celebration on last Sunday.

Today is Ash Wednesday which marks the beginning of Lent. I am too tired to type anything more since this is already 3-weeks worth of writing so I will write about it on a separate post. Meanwhile, I shall end this with happy news that today marks Digimon 20th Anniversary. Hurray... My 2 Patamon and Gomamon plushies are released and already on shipping today and I am looking forward to more Digimon merchandises. Lol.

Thanks for being a memorable part of my childhood until today :D
