CNY 2007

So much for CNY... each year gets more & more dreary. Guess I'm just super-sick of being alone for these "special" occasions. Started with Christmas, New Year's, Valentines', now CNY. Sigh. When will I be reunited with G & live life together? Seems like a simple request but I couldn't have imagined the endless obstacles in our way. Oh well, just for the record, I did loads of (accumulated) laundry & re-organised my wardrobe. Also caught up with ALOT of Zzz's - my favourite pastime other than TV. Anti-social but being "social" means spending $$$ I don't have. Speaking of which I spent $69 (!?!?) at the GP cos' I was sick at the start of CNY. Was coughing my lungs out, super-itchy throat, gagging, chest pains, headache, stomach cramping, vomiting even. Ick Ick Ick. Worst of all, the coughing kept me from sleeping!! Urgh. I was sleep-deprived for 3 days!! The ultimate tragedy & torture for me. Perhaps it was extremely bad timing PLUS stupidity to wait till I got so sick & till it was CNY eve, to go to the Doc. The same doc who told me Cat Fleas do not attack humans. Duh. "Consultation is $38 today" - the nurse told me with the straightest face she could muster. Bleah. I wanted to cough in her face. $69 for 1 small bottle of the black "magic" cough potion, anti-biotics & some pills for the throat. What a rip-off. I was truly desperate cos' Breacol didn't work & had a horrible bitter-minty after-taste. Thanks to the magic cough potion which knocked me out, I managed to get some sleep. For the following 3 days, I enjoyed the whoozy drugged feeling. Ha.

It was nice to have the whole week off from work but I would've preferred to spend it with G, in Berlin. Alas, too broke. What's new? Nothing...

The story of my life... *yawn*
