Missing from the scenes

Its been a long time since I last blogged.

Too many things have happened to me in the span of April.

I had
1) Just recovered from a raging high fever and diarrhoea at the same time I got it;
2) Involved in an accident and ended up forfeiting my insurance premium;
3) Burned a lotta weekends by going to Batam for jobs;

If you believed in karma, trust me, i would have entered Nirvana already.

Anyway, because of something happened in the span of my blogging, I was hesitant if should blog to the feeling of the blogger or should i blog because ppl are reading it? Blogging had always been a source of relaxation to me. But because somehow something happened, I think I should have blogged with caution and perhaps less exciting as before.

SO I must say from this blog onwards, to whoever is reading it...

DISCLAIMER: MY BLOG IS GOOD FOR A READ, BUT NOT TO BE TREATED SERIOUSLY.

So anyway it had been a traumatic April. . its like nothing is smooth in my path for the past 1 mth. the accident, which prompted me to take the public transport after sucha long time. Allowed me to eat humble pie, infused a sense of modesty in me. (esp when you f**ked your foreign workers everyday and you have to face them in the same company transport when you knock off, hardly cool... )

It also taught me that people who knock off that early, can have time to go shopping everyday! It had been sometime since I last visit Lot1, and it had changed a lot. I never left my office after 8pm and Lot1 is like a dead shopping mall waiting for closure when I departed from my office. and people, a lot of people, walked around the mrt station at that hour, 530pm. It was like something I have not experienced ever since my poly days.

I finally got back my ride after 2 days in the workshop. The damage? 4K worth of parts to be replaced. and it is only mine alone. I have not inquired from the insurance company about the other car I banged into on his charges yet. Haiz.. I learned to take it easy. Let go. But its is only 2 months more to my insurance renewal.. and I just banged it away.

Then there's work. I was send to Batam for quite a lot of weekends. 2 weekends. For both weekends, the jobs was uneventful and the last i heard, because of some money issue over there *always is in that country anyway* the entire management was axed. and we had to build rapport all over again.

My foreman was with me one weekend, and something funny happened over there. we were at the departure gates on that Saturday vessel. A group of ppl were giving out freebies at the gates, so they tossed us like 3 packets of chewing gum or something. only to realized.. its CONDOMS. and it reads, BE RESPONSIBLE AND HAVE SAFE SEX etc etc.

My foreman in his late 60's, immediately exclaimed, "HOW CAN I USE THIS? I AM TOO OLD FOR THIS!!?"

*I almost laff out loud* much to my amusement.

and he in the end threw all the condoms to me -_-" because he scared his wife will throw him outta the room and sleep in the living room instead.

So the joke isnt about the foreman here. We took an hr ride and finally managed to checked into the hotel. I immediately fished out all the condoms and threw them on the bed and exclaimed to my foreman, "WAH really a lotta condoms leh!"

but we had to work you see, so we immediately changed into our teletubby overalls and went to the shipyard. it is around evening when we finally finished our work, and I was surprised to find a chambermaid cleaning my toilet when I enter my room.
I took no notice and started to change, so right in the midst of putting on my shirt, the maid came out of the toilet and looked at me, "SIr i finished cleaning your toilet"

Half-expecting a tip or something from me, *because it is the culture there* she diverted her attention to the bed, (with the loads of condoms) and take looking at my half-naked self, she immediately LEFT THE ROOM!

*Wah lao, someone must have taken me for a sexpert or something.. -_-" *

Because of my work committments in Batam, I burned my weekends without much sleep.

then the awful big illness came and struck me on the coming week. I had a minor flu and was recovering from it. then devil suggested we have a big meal at sunset way. I obliged anyway since it had been a long time since we met.

Maybe the flu weaked my stomach, or perhaps the seafood over at Sunset way were really dirty. that I do not know. I developed a high fever and persistant diarrhoea that tramatized me for the next couple of days. I seen 2 doctors so far and took 3 days of medical leave. I hardly took that long for medical leaves.

As far as I knew, this is perhaps my most severe illness I ever encountered. INfact it is only today, my fever subsided and my diahorra didnt gave me much of problem. *but the stools is still watery though, kinda disgusting, so to speak*

Luckily there's a labour day holiday coming, I can make sure of the day to recuperate. I hope May will be a better month for me.

thus this ends my blog for this month. Have a nice day peeps.
