COO bad mood

This morning, I went to have my blood test for Hep B, Vit D and basic for High BP.  The nurse tried to get a bottle of blood from my right arm but maybe due to wrong position, my blood did not flow out.  She dared not poke again and asked me to wait for the doctor to get the sample for me.

The doctor took from the same position I had taken last week at AH and initially, he shake his head and said the blood flow was very slow.  I was so worried that there was not enough sample and I had to be poked at another area.  Luckily, blood did flow out but very very the slow.  

Consulted Dr Png and he said that my BP had dropped after taking medicine.  He changed my medicine to another one and he said the ones I am taking are of low dosage.  If my BP did not go up after the medication, I need not change to higher dosage.  Pray hard everything will be under control.  Blood test results will be out around next week.  Doc worried I will have high cholesterol since my parents have it and also diabetics.  Hence test my sugar level too.

This afternoon, our COO was in very bad mood and cancelled a meeting due to our team members were late for 10mins.  I did not attend as I had doc appointment.  The invitation was not sent to all of our members and he assumed "all" will attend.  Strange man.

Had celery and apple as dinner tonight.  Forgot to buy bread for tomorrow and shall buy when on the way to office else I cannot take my medicine.

Lobo day

Another lobo day for me.  Nothing much to do and I can enjoy another 1 day as Friday, my colleague will be on leave and I will cover him.  Next week, my another colleague is going back to China and I have to cover him for about a week.  Sian uh....  Cannot continue my loboing....

Went to meet Tulip for lunch at Sushi Tei.  Had a nice lunch with chit chatting.  Ah Cheng joined us too.  We split up after lunch to run errand.  Tulip, 小珠 and me went to Giant for buying some household items.  Ah Cheng went to have coffee with 大雄.  Later Ah Yong also joined them.  We finished our shopping at 2.30pm and waited for the 2 ladies till about 3.30pm.  Back in office near to 4pm.  Really no government uh...

Back home and wasted quite some time to search for a hanger clip which I dropped accidentally.  Strange that I could not find it in the cupboard and believe it was hidden inside an area that I could not reach.  Finally gave up after about 30mins.  Tried to take photo of the hidden angle but still could not find.  Have to take another piece from another new set.  Luckily I have spare one.  :P

Relaxing day

Its Tuesday again and we had our weekly free lunch in our office.  The buffet spread was better than last week's.  Had one round and too full to take second round.

We decided to go to Bugis temple for praying as many of us were of bad luck recently.  My health is no good recently and had prayed for good health and hope everything will go smooth for me.

When I was back in office, I realised that I did not have anything to do.  In the end, spent most of the late afternoon playing games.  Not only me.  My colleagues were doing same too.  Our boss saw what we were doing and said "enjoyed while it lasts".  Hahaha.  In the end, my the other 2 colleagues sitting beside me were playing same game as me.  My boss behind me watching online soccer.  My 2 other colleagues sitting beside my boss were surfing internet.  Wow... no government uh!  Really leh cos our "big" boss out of town till 17 Feb!

Took a lift from Ah Cheng to Buona Vista MRT station.  We left office at 6.30pm and there was a very bad jam that ended up asking her to send us to Clementi MRT station instead.  By the time I reached Clementi MRT station, it was already 7.25pm.  Ah yah... if took train ourselves, I would have reached home liao.  Hee hee...  Think too heavy traffic during that peak hour liao.  Maybe next time take train direct better.

Shall continue to unlock more levels in Candy crush saga.  :)

Lazy

Its Monday again.  Back to work.  I was so lazy to work.  Kidding with my colleagues that I should go and see doctor to request for more rest days.  Aiyah... why got so easy.  However, Ah Thin kept saying my body temperature was high and whether I had fever.  But no leh... I did not have any headache or unwell.

Left office at about 6.45pm and back home before 8pm.  I bathed first and started to cook porridge for dinner.  Cut an apple and also some celery to eat.  Celery very awful smell.  However, I need to bring down my blood pressure and heard this vegetable is good.  Cut it into small strips and ate them like "french fries".  Hope I will grow to like it.

My mum called me to check if I take my medicine and if I ate the celery.  I am a good girl....

Dad's and mum's birthday and wedding anniversary celebration

This morning, I woke up at 10am.  Had a long sleep.  Slept at 12 midnight.  10 hrs of sleep.

Its my dad's birthday today and my mum cooked mee sua for him.  We also had it for brunch.  Nice nice.
















Afternoon, was busy reading magazines and clearing my brother's wardrobe.  He kept a lot of old clothing and refused to throw away.  My sis and I in the end decided to do house keeping for him.  He was so heart pain when we just throw and throw his clothing.  He has so many new clothes and we tell him do not keep them.  Wait out of fashion uh.  Poor him.  Looked so sad...  Hahaha...  We have to do the wicked role.

My niece having history test tomorrow hence will stay at home to revise and we meet them at Long Beach Seafood restaurant at Demsey Road.  Its a celebration for my dad's and mum's birthday plus wedding anniversary too.  Ordered alaska crab for this special occasion.  Everyone enjoyed the food.

Went to Fairprice at NEX after dinner to buy drinks for CNY.  My dad was driving and so many helpers so I asked them to help me carry some drinks home.  I do not expect a lot of guests during CNY but I still have to buy lah.  Need to have CNY mood mah.  :)

First part of spring cleaning

Today, it was a very hectic day for me.  I done my first part of spring cleaning.  Cannot finish all as I can only do it slowly.  Cannot bent too low and also cannot do too fast.  Else, head spinning and out of breathe.

Was rather rush due to lack of time and I had to meet my mum and sis at Yishun MRT station to have dinner before going for our therapy.  Had booked with our therapist for my hand and my sis neck problem.

After the session, my hand was better and believed will have bruises due to the rubbing to "put back my vein in right position".

During the massage session, learnt alot from him as he did 5 years of exercising to become fit.  He recommended one equipment (horse riding) that his wife is using and I am interested to buy it.  I found it in Gmarket but will see if direct buying from the Singapore store is available or not.  It costs about $178.  Quite reasonable price.
















Had a busy day and was so tired.  Will sleep early tonight.  I am not fully recovered yet.

First movie of the year

Today I was on MC and woke up at 10am.  Stayed on bed till 10.45am as I felt giddy when I opened my eyes and while I was still lying on the bed.

My mum bought lunch for me after her haircut and I left for my skin doctor appointment at 2.30pm at Orchard Road.  Just waited a while and it was my turn.  My review was very fast and came out within 5mins.  Just a review on my face after the rashes I had last month.

Since it was still early, I walked around Ion and Wisma Atrium.  Then decided to go home and put my laptop first.  Carried it around was heavy.

Left home and met up with 小珠 for lunch at O'Coffee Club @ Harbour Front Centre.  I bought Omron Blood Pressure monitor from Unity store and thought I could get a free snake neckroll after redemption at the counter.  But.... no more stock and the next colour available will be from 26th onwards.  Its tomorrow and I just missed it.    骗人的.  Every year also like dat.

















We watched "Hansel & Gretal" at 9.30pm.  Howver, the show delayed and started only at 10pm.  Luckily we could catch our train back.  The story started with the fairytale but after that was of different content.  Quite a nice show.  Just some scary images.

Back home and shall rest earlier.  Tomorrow still has spring cleaning.

Serious health problem

This morning, I woke up with same giddiness.  However, just went to work as normal day since it recovered after a while.

Had a good meal at West Coast Plaza.  The Sze Char was good and cheap.

Back in office and since there was not much thing to do, I went to see doctor with 小珠.  She still have itch on her throat and for me, I found it strange to have giddiness these few days and was worried that it could be due to my blood pressure increase.

We waited for a while and my turn came.  Talked to the doctor and he took measurement for my blood pressure.  His face turned strange and told me that my blood pressure was very high.  First measurement on my left arm was 180 and second measurement on my right arm was 160.  He said to be safe, he wanted to send me to A & E to have a check up.  When I heard that, I was so scared.  Why so sudden that my blood pressure went up so high?

He asked me not to worry.  It was just a check up.  He said it was ok to be over-reacted than did nothing but caused problem later.  I went back to office to pack up and when my boss and colleagues heard "A & E", they were so worried and asked me to go immediately.  My colleagues offered to send me there.  I could handle myself by taking a cab but my boss said no.  My colleague sent me there and stayed with me until my sister came.

I did another measurement of my blood pressure at the consultation room and it was 179/111.  Very very high.  I did a blood test for sugar level and ECG before being sent to the observation room.  A young doctor came to explain that they will do a blood test for me and also x-ray my chest.  Will also take medicine to see if the blood pressure will go down.

The whole process took quite long and I was sitting inside the room watching TV.  However, I could not really watch relaxing as the chair was not very comfortable.  I kept looking around and it made me recall the those dramas that stories were about emergency room.  Now I was really there.

My sister waited for me for about 2 hours.  Finally result came and I was glad that the blood test and xray had no problem.  Blood pressure also went down to 147 after the medication.  I was allowed to go home.  I still need to see GP doctor next week and to pass him the test results.

The whole commotion made me so scared.  I decided to sleep earlier tonight and also to get a blood pressure monitor.  With advice from doctor, I will start the hypertension medication from tomorrow onwards.

My sister insisted me to go back to Pasir Ris with her.  At least could eat home cooked dinner.  With discipline mistress around, I will have to listen to her.

Pray hard that everything is fine for me.

Giddiness continues

Woke up and found myself having giddiness again.  Did not know what happen.  Had same when I had my shower this morning and in office too.  Really did not know if it was due to lack of sleep or my blood pressure shot up.  However, I tell myself to be more careful.  I hold on hand rails when I walked up or down stairs.

Did nothing during office hours this afternoon.  Felt so funny with nothing to do.  I had passed my daily quoting to my colleague as I need to train him to be familised with my customers.

Able to leave office at 6.45pm and back home at 8pm.  Finished sweeping and mopping floor.  Found a few new j dramas uploaded.  OMG!!! I cannot finish watching uh.

Tired - giddy

This morning, when I sat up from bed, I felt my head a bit spinning.  Had another round when I sat on the toilet bowl.  It was spinning and I felt so giddy.  Luckily, it was alright after a while.  Has my blood pressure shot up?  Hope not.

I had same giddiness when I was in office.  Could it be I am lack of rest?  Hope so.

Another round when I was bathing.  Squat down to wash clothing and another spinning.

Will try to rest earlier tonight.

Monday blue blue

Its Monday again....  Hot Monday....  Sian uh!

Felt so listless when I woke up.  Really hope today is still weekend.  I did not have much time to relax during last weekend.  Did not manage to watch J dramas too.  So sad....

The good thing was I was out of office from 11.30am till 4.30pm.  Went for customer visits.  Had not been going out for quite some time liao.

4 more days to go.  Count down.  Count down.

Wedding dinner

This morning, woke up very early at 10am as I need to get out to meet my sister at Orchard.  We decided to go to Takashimaya as it was having additional 10% disc for member.  My brother came along as he needed to get a pair of shoe for new year.

We went to the men's dept and my brother took so long to look for a pair he liked.  There were a lot of shoes there but none being liked by him.  In the end, we walked to Metro at Paragon to see if there was any nice ones.  Quite little selections there hence we decided to head to Sketcher's shop at Ion.  Finally, he found one pair that he liked and bought it.

I suddenly remembered that my mum asked us to buy kimchi for her hence we walked back to Takashimaya basement to buy for her.  Nothing much to buy hence we called for a cab home.

Back home at 5pm and made a quick shower and prepared to go to Changi airport T3.  I meeting up with my colleagues to attend a wedding dinner at Crowne Plaza.  The dinner started very early at 6.45pm and we managed to finish full course by 9pm.  The food was very nice and all of us liked them.

My colleague sent me home and after tidying up my laundry, shall rest and relax...

Tomorrow going to work again.  Sian uh!

Wasted

This morning, I woke up at 10am and started to sweep and mop floor.  I had arranged plumber to fix my basin.  The stopped was stuck and I could not use it.  Arranged time was 11am to 1pm but there was no sign of him.  Called the shop and was told that due to the heavy rain since morning, he could only come at around 3pm.  No choice but to wait lor.

My mum came to my house to wait for my sister to be back after her cell group meeting.  In the end, we could not go to Orchard for shopping and just met up with my father at NEX for dinner.  Dined at The Ship and the food was nice.  After that, we headed home.

Quite wasted today for doing not much.  :(

Wow.... Its Friday again.  So happy that I just worked for one day and can rest for the weekend.

Back for work today after a 7 days break.  Kind of miss Japan now.  No more good food ....  Looking forward to April as we are going to Osaka.  Bought tickets when Jetstar has promo.  Just $400+ per pax.

Boring day again but after was quite ok as I had a meeting at 2pm and followed by a meeting at customer's office at 3.45pm.  Second half of the day passed very fast.

We not watching movie tonight and just had dinner at BBQ Chicken.  We chit chat and finished the food slowly.  The set came with soup, drink and main course.  Quite reasonable price.

















Feeling tired today.  Do not think I can tahan till too late tonight.

At home

Slept at 4.30am last night and woke up at 10.30am.  Simply did not want to waste the day.

Cleared all my emails and started to do some cleaning again.  I had to just do a simple washing of my toilets. Otherwise, I dared not use lei.

Cooked ramen for my lunch.  I added some fishcakes.  They were simply too nice liao.  Must buy again when I go to Japan.





















Made a cup of rambutan freeze.  Nice nice.  Especially with my melody cup.
















I love my cups.

















Tried to download some j dramas to watch.  Did not know what I had done but I just let the day passed without doing much things.  Strange....

Day 7 in Tokyo ~ Back in Singapore

Woke up very early and set off from hotel at 6.15am.  We booked Narita express train seats at 6.45am.  Ate cutie tortoise as breakfast.  It was so cute....

















Reached airport and check in immediately.  Luckily the queue was not long.  We zoomed in to buy our fishcakes at the Akihabara store.  I also bought ramen.  Hope they were nice.

After 9 hours flight (transit at Taipei), finally I am back in Singapore.  So sad to be back.

Reached home at around 9pm and started to unpack my luggage.  Surveyed my house and found it to be still in good condition.  Just dusty.  I decided to sweep & mop floor and did some cleaning before resting.

Tomorrow will take one more day off to rest.  Rather tired now.

Day 6 in Tokyo

Cannot go home yet!!!

This morning, we woke up early to prepare ourselves to go to the airport.  We booked Narita express train seats from Ikebukuro at 10.33am.  We ate our breakfast and prepared to take our luggages for check out.  Then, my friend received mss from her friend working in Delta airline that the flight we were taking was overbooked.  It was due to the spill over by yesterday's bad weather.  Many flights were cancelled.  Yesterday's check was there were about 100 seats available.

We discussed and decided to stay for one more night and booked a return ticket from Scoot.  We could try tomorrow but better play safe.  We have no more money and clothing lah.  Ah Huang had no problem since she did not take the buddy pass and bought full price ticket.  She had no choice but to go back herself.

In the end, 3 of us left behind and had one more day to enjoy in Tokyo.

Ultimately, I spent more money due to buying of clothing.  I bought one new ultra light jacket from Uniqlo.  It was light and easy to carry.  Cheaper to buy in Japan.  I thrown away my old jacket and wear this new one to try if it will be warm enough.  Tried and is good.  So happy...

We had lunch at one of the restaurant at Ikebukuro departmental store.  Nice food.

















We shopped till quite late and bought a box of strawberries for supper.  Also bought cakes again.  Hahaha.

The strawberries were of weird shapes.  It was very juicy and sweet.
















Tomorrow really going back liao.  So sad....

Day 5 in Tokyo

So fast that its the fifth day we are in Tokyo.  We are going back to Singapore tomorrow.  Hence, we must enjoy ourselves today.

Our plan for today was to go to Harajuku and followed by Tokyo Dome.  Took train to Harajuku at around 10am.  The weather forecast was so accurate that it really rained today.  However, we had a surprise.

On our way to Harajuku station, 小珠 told me that the rain looked a bit weird.  Was raining "big" drops.  I told her could be too cold here and the raindrops were bigger.  However, as the train approached our destination, the raindrops turned to be snowing.  We were so excited and started to take photos.  We never expected that we could see snow in Tokyo.

The temperature dropped and raining became snowing.  We brought umbrellas hence no problem walking to our first destination - Kiddyland.  We spent quite some time inside and I finally bought a cute soft toy home.  Her name is Yuyu.  I also bought some sanrio stickers and files as they were too cute.  :)




















We looked out and were surprised to see that it was all white outside.  The snowing was rather heavy and the floor was covered with thick snow.  Once again, we started to take photos.  Haha... we mountain tortoises uh.























It was rather slippery to walk outside and we decided to go for our lunch at nearby restaurant.  Initially wanting to go back to the restaurant we used to dine there but mistakenly walked into another.  Turned out that it was one of the famous store 火頭山.  We were recommended one of their famous ramen and it was really nice.  Not salty and soft chashu.  Yummy.  I love it!


















As it was snowing so heavily, we decided to just hang around Harajuku and then headed back to Otsuka station.  We had coffee break at a cafe and at the same time enjoying the white scenery.  We went back to our hotel to keep our shopping bags.  On our way back, we brought strawberries and cakes for sharing tonight.
















The snowing stopped and left with icy and slippery floor.  We had to walk very slowly in order to avoid falling down.  Walked around hotel area and could not find suitable restaurant as most of them were closed and we did not want to eat ramen.  Finally, we found one 居酒屋 at just one floor above Ootoya which we intended to go if we could not find another good place.  Bingo!!!  We found a place with good food.  As it snowed today, not many people went outdoor even though today is a holiday in Japan.  We could get a private room and we enjoyed the food.  It was not expensive and we actually ordered quite a lot.















Bought strawberries and cakes for supper tonight.  They were so nice and sweet.





























So fast that tomorrow we are going back.  So sad...

Day 4 in Tokyo

Woke up very early at 6.15am as we had to leave early.  Going to Hakone and it took around 2 hrs to reach the first stop of the few transportation used to go up.

Tulip did not sleep well last night hence decided not to join us.  Ah Huang decided to accompany her to stay near hotel since she went Hakone during her previous trip.  It left 小珠 and me.  We proceeded to our plan.

We were tired too hence tried to sleep while on our way there.  The journey was quite long but luckily there were seats for us.  Otherwise will be very tiring to stand for 2 hrs.  We changed to another train uphill and then cable and ropeway.  

In mid hill, we took a break and had some local snacks.  Very nice and chewy.
















When we first view Mt Fuji when we took the ropeway up, we were so happy to see a very nice view of her.  Luckily the weather was good hence we could see a good view.  























Saw a store selling sweet potatoes and we could not resist and ordered 2 types for sharing.  Yummy!

















We went round the area and back at Odawara station at around 6pm.  Decided to walk around the shops at the station before heading back to Shinjuku.  Could not resist the snacks again and bought them.  Hahaha.

















Back in Shinjuku, we decided to have another round of ramen at 博多天神.  The ramen was super nice uh. Especially drinking the soup in such a cold day.  Satisfied and went back to hotel.
















Disaster uh!  Tulip and Ah Huang called us and told us they were waiting for us to eat cakes.  We were so full liao but .... we still went over to finish the cakes.  Sinful sinful....
