From the Office

Struggled to wake up and get ready for work. Unavoidable daily internal battle.

7.10am - alarm rings...snooze...

7.25am - alarm rings...snooze...

7.35am - alarm rings...about time to wake up...3 more minutes please, snooze...

7.38am - wake up...panicked...settle bathroom business

7.50am - leave home to catch the subway...

8.07am - transit to the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR)...doze off...

8.50am - reach final stop...get on company shuttle...doze off again...

9.00am - reach office...start work!

Felt kind of sick yesterday, not sick enough to skip work, but I wanted to skip work so badly...the angel won over the devil...I ended up going to work feeling miserably =(

So is life. As I wallowed in my misery, I couldn't help tempting myself with the idea to tapao and go back home.

Thank you ma for calling me last night, and gave me your timeless remedy for cold--gurgle with salt water, and drink warm honey water with lime. Felt much better. One can always count on family love.

Damn the weather. 45 deg F in New York...around 6-7 deg C (finally get used to converting from F to C--minus 32 and divide by 2). Heard it is snowing already somewhere in upstate New York. Heard it has been raining in Malaysia. Should be pretty cold in UK too. Di and Mei are sick. Poor ma, must have been calling around to make sure each of us know how to take care of ourselves.

Feeling pretty good now, hence this blog entry. To all you " You Zi" out there, take care. If you are sick, do remember to try out the honey+lime and salt water.
