Cough cough & sniff sniff......

Well, must have got the flu bug as fell sick on Monday and started coughing, developed a fever and kept on blowing my nose....... ugh..........

The medication that the doc prescribed was quite strong. The cough syrup makes me feel very drowsy and lethargic. How I wish I could just drop everything and go home and get some rest.

When I went to see the doc, I was carrying my Targus notebook backpack with me as I did not want to leave the notebook in the car. As I walked in the receptionist asked me if I was a patient or a medical rep. Hello........ I look half dead as I walk in with my coughing and yet she asks me this question. [????] Anyway, I had a good laugh with the doc later when I told him what his receptionist asked me.

The doc checked my vitals, confirmed that my blood pressure is as good as ever (can't remember what the figures were). While chatting with him, I asked him about the latest developments on stopping smoking. He told me to forget about the patches as they are too expensive and doesn't really work as it still gives one the nicotine fix that we smokers require. He mentioned one new medical product that I can't recall (why must they give it funny and unpronouncable names) and said that it was in the process of being patented. Claims that it's bloody good and it does not give you your daily fix.......... Hmmmm.....point to ponder.......

Oh well, I must try to at least cut down on my smoking from a packet a day to say about 10 sticks per day.

As I type and fire away at the keyboard, I feel groggy and a little dizzy.......

The weather really sucks over here as it's raining...............................did not cycle on Tuesday evening and still can't cycle tonight with me still in this condition. Must make up for it on Saturday or Sunday by going for a long ride.

I finally hopped on to the BitTorrent bandwagon and it's fantastic. Making full use of my Streamyx or is it Screwmix broadband bandwidth. Thanks to Nick for showing me and encouraging me to go for it. There, you get credit where it's due.......ha..ha.....

And as a final thought, I'm contemplating getting a robust all weather digital still camera so that I can carry it with me wherever I go especially on my bike rides. That way, I can share more pics of my rides. Dav, you hear me???......I go into estacy and get lustful when you showed me the pics of your off-road rides in JB.

Well, that's all for now folks.

BTW - Lil, you have not updated your blog for some time. Go and update it! I know life in Singapore is hectic but you've got to chill out mate.................. As for Dav, I know you are just too lazy to update your blog................. excpet for the links to the albums of your off road rides.

Cheers mates and take care.

Best regards or 73's all round.
