Infirmity

That is what I am feeling lately. I am feeling a bit "under the weather" so to speak, a real ironic statement since I had suspected my current lackluster health to be closely related to the perennial haze that has been ever so generously donated by our neighbors.

Yup, dry irritating cough, runny nose and itching of my eyes are some of the predominant symptoms that I have been experiencing. I have no doubt that it initiated due to the bad quality of air that we have had over the past few days, but on top of that, the situation has been made worst and compounded no doubt to my lack of fluid intake, rest and too much of drinks.

All these microcosms of factors made me developed a bad cough, and a bad sorethroat. I have since added hoarseness of voice to that ever increasing lists of discomfort.

I have since started taking medications for these but as it is, me being a practitioner of western medicine, never did like taking medications. Yes, I do admit, i am myself a bad patient. I recall my nephew is also similar like me in the sense that he doesn't take his anti hypertensive medications as well, and mind you he's a nephrologist. I bet at times doctors can be the worst patients and this maxim holds water especially when it comes to me and my nephew.

I think I would still be like this for the next day or two, and come Saturday when I have my rest I'd recover fast. Till then, I am drinking plenty of fluids and avoid taking any fried and oily food. Hope this will be a short and temporary setback. Onwards to much better things in a few days.

Sickening

What has our society gone to now? I read with deep sorrow about the case of a young girl in Penang, barely 5 years old, being abducted and murdered. What exactly is happening in this place we call home? I reckon whenever things like this happened, we never stop to ask what is the precursor to this heinous crime?

We, society at large tend to dismiss this as being someone else's problems. I wonder when would we wake up to start taking initiatives and believe that our society is no longer safe as it used to be. Isn't this too close for comfort? I wonder who can commit this heartless and despicable act? Time to wake up and do something.

Chinese Newspapers are reporting that the real perpetrators are actually the mother and her boyfriend. I reckon how could a mother do this to her own flesh and blood?

TGIF

It Friday, finally! This has got to be one of the worst week that I need to get through. Many things happened and suffice to say that it was not very pleasant. I have trouble sleeping, haven't been eating much, as there was too much on my mind.

Maybe tomorrow I can rest a bit more than usual, since I am not working. I think all these work and more work is destroying my life per se. My relationship is strained beyond repair due primarily to my ungodly work hours. Perhaps I should really quit and retire somewhere alone?

Well, it's my 3rd post since coming back to the blog and here I am, in my old self, bitching and feeling a bit blue. I promised myself that I will try to be more cheerful, and I hope I can achieve it.

Here's to a more pleasant next week. TGIF again. Really need the short break.

postive thoughts

Yes, have to constantly remind myself about the power of positive thoughts, Things happen but it's really frustrating and sad when people accuse you of something that you never do. I want to emote everything out, but I reckon everything is mind over matter, and pledging to keep posting positive things to post will hopefully alleviate my emotions.

Hmm, what is positive? as sure as the sun rises like clockwork everyday, there is bound to have another day to push all unhappy things behind the back of my mind. I just hope that the day will come, and come fast.

I wish I can stop everything, drop everything and stop to smell the flowers for a change. I cannot wait to see the colors of life which incidentally at this current time happens to be grey and lackluster to my eyes. I cannot wait to get away from the mask like fake facies that I wear everyday to meet my patients.

Anyway, positive thoughts, positive thoughts. Gosh, this is so difficult.

When will it clear? when will it be the end of the tunnel?

A long absence

It has been such a long time since I update my blog. My last update was in mid March and now it's the beginning of July. How time flies.

How have I been? Well, it's pretty much the same. I have decided that writing would be good, but it would be better to cast away all the unhappy feelings aside and write something positive everyday. Oh well, it would only be reasonable to have a little tinge of bad news but it would be more positives upsides rather than predominantly negative ones.

So how did the past few months go? Suffice to say, it has more negatives than positives, but as i have mentioned prior to this, I pledge to focus more on the positivity of life rather than continuously languish in negative ones. Business has been pretty good lately, I reckon most probably due to the unpredictable weather lately..

I also have been logging in more exercises and it's good since I had been pretty unfit, drinking and piling on weight which is predominantly concentrated around my midsection. I am more lithe and fitter now, which is good. As for my relationship issues, not here to comment, but one thing's though, I am trying not to think too much, choosing to take one day at a time. Eh, am supposed to be concentrating to the positivity of life....at times I tend to divert a bit. :)

I reckon I will try posting and blogging more, and lets hope it would be onto better and brighter things ahead.
