Freakin' numbness

I arrived back in Singapore last night just in time to catch up with one Bruneian friend at Balaclava. Man, the place has certainly changed quite a bit. It used to be a classy sort of wine bar but when I visited last night, it was all packed and rowdy. Am I getting old??? Anyway, it turned out to be a mini high school reunion when Neville "Nipples" Chan turned up. Nipples is notoriously known for being late (up to several hours in fact). Actually I'm supposed to leave now to meet him, but I believe I can spare the time to blog and still be early. :P

Anyway, it's good to be back in the little red dot I call Home. If only my health was intact...

I've regained control over my stool, which I thanked god for when I was on the plane. However, it's been replaced by a terrible sore throat. Also, after a toss-and-turn night of so-called sleep, I woke up to discover that my body temperature was a feverish 37.3 degrees. Which means I have to stay away from the fried oily and heaty food that makes up half of Singapore's local cuisine. How disappointing.

I supposed the one thing I really miss most is the Hainanese chicken rice. With the bird flu situation going on and the occasional report of new victims in the Vietnam news, it's difficult to enjoy good chicken without the thought of possible death playing out in the corner of the mind.

I just took some medication and the effects are numbing. Feeling really lazy to go out but there's no food at home also... Well, I only hope that Nipples will be on time!
