Saturday Fright

Saturday Fright

Just gave myself a big scare.....I came to office to get my HP (which I forgot to take back yesterday...something which occur too frequently....shucks!)...and I thought there definitely wouldn't be anyone in office, since its a Sat afternoon, and I did not hear of any last minute work to be done yesterday. When I went into my room, I distinctively heard the outside doors opening and and slamming....well...to my credit, I did not immediately thought of the doings of the 3rd kind....just perhaps, one of my hardworking colleagues had stayed back to finish up some stuffs...and I thought...mabbe me coming in gave her a scare. Then subsequently, I started to hear many door-slamming and opening, and that got me slightly worried....hmmm...mabbe many many colleagues staying back? But I haven't chanced upon any till now. After hearing yet another door closing nearby, I hid behind a corner to peep (ok, quite frightened now...although its still bright and sunny outside)...and LO and BEHOLD! It was my colleague, but another one, and he was also dressed in beach wear a.k.a. bermudas and shirt, just as I was in my shirt and shorts....Wah so relieved man! And he was relieved too!! Turns out his home printer was not working, and he came to office to get some stuffs printed....

Ok, reason for me forgetting to bring my HP home, was that I had a very very bad case of food poisoning yesterday afternoon. I was vomiting so violently I think I should be satisfied that I somehow made it home to see a doc. Dunno why, but this is about the 3rd time this has happened to me this year. And funnily enough, my colleague who ate the same thing as me, did not suffer any of this! Yeah...blame it on a weak stomach. But luckily, the vomiting stopped after the 4th time, and the doc said no injections were needed, as long as I could still swallow the medicine without throwing up. Usually, after getting food poisoning, I would stop myself from eating the food that caused me to get the condition. Like the last time, when I puked non-stop aboard the SQ flight after taking some beef steak.....I swore off beef steaks after that. If I took beef, it had to be sliced thinly, and never in chunks!!! But yesterday, it was wanton mee....and I really couldn't stop eating that!! That has been my fav dish since dunno when!!! So I have this dilemma now.....very stressful.....=P
