A Day Not At Work

I took sick leave today. Why? Coz this morning, my stomach hurt so much I woke up before my alarm went off. Then I stayed in the toilet for about 20min or so... and after I came out, my legs were wobbly (I used the squatting toilet), and before long, I had to go again... and even then, it still didn't feel like I was totally flushed.

So I called Lisa and asked for sick leave.

After the toilet rushes, I lay on the sofa and fell asleep until about 11.

Woke up groggy and planned the rest of the day, assuming I wouldn't get another attack. And thankfully, I didn't!

So my day went like this: I went to Camera Hospital at Sunshine Plaza to look for old cameras, went to Bras Basah to get my quill feathers, walked to Arab St to get my Swarovski crystals, walked around in Bugis to look for a vest, went Phoon Huat to see if they've got Yoghurt flavoured syrup, then walked over to Peace Centre to take a bus home.

Came home, got started on my mask! Yay! I can't believe I bought Swarovski crystals for a mask that I'd probably only wear once. I must be crazy... but they look SO-O-O pretty!!! Oh wells...

So that's my sick (off) day today...

"Anyone who had a love close to this
Knows what I'm saying.
Anyone who wants a dream to come true
Knows how I'm feeling.

All I can think of is you and me
Doing the things I wanna do.
All I imagine is heaven on earth;
I know it's you.

Anyone who ever kissed in the rain
Knows the whole meaning.
Anyone who ever stood in the light
Needs no explaining.

But everything more or less appears so meaningless,
Blue and cold.
Walking alone through the afternoon traffic,
I miss you so.

Anyone who felt like I do,
Anyone who wasn't ready to fall,
Anyone who loved like I do,
Knows it never really happens at all.
It's over when it's over.
What can I do about it
Now that it's over?

Everything more or less is looking so meaningless
And fades to grey.
Lying awake in an ocean of teardrops,
I float away.

Anyone who ever felt like I do,
Anyone who wasn't ready to fall,
Anyone who loved like I do,
Knows it never really happens at all.
It's over when it's over.
What can I do about it,
Now it's all over?"
