Been so sick over the weekends.
Actually had been sick since last Sunday. I spent 50 bucks to see a 24 hr doctor on last Sunday because i was so afraid that it will worsen so much that i can't work. The next day was an important day. It was my 1st site initiation visit with my senior. I wouldn't miss that for a million dollars. IF i missed that, i don't know when is the next opportunity, esp when my sup makes it so clear that i should only go for visits that are relevant to my projects. And then the fuss about having to fight for what i want.
So i tahaned the whole week, as i had pressing things to handle till Friday, when i could clear my leave for last yr's. Then i tot i could have a well deserved rest. I thought my illness is near recovering. At least my throat doesn't hurt anymore. And i don't seem to have much of a flu except for blocked nose.
Mayb it was staying up late on Friday night. I haven't met my dear friends Deying and Mei for like a month plus. Goodness...what happened to our social life......i don't have much anymore. Since i haven't met them for so long, of cos lots of catching up to do. The next day my throat started to hurt. This time it erupted to this point that i would be coughing every 1 minute or so, cos the throat was so irritable. But the symptoms came out too late, it was sat evening. But night time, while i was struggling to finish the bible study preparation for the next day ( and that was really tough, bcos it's about 1 Samuel, and old testament books are always hard to lead..), i figured that i'm really too sick to handle all these. I doubt i'll be ok enough to go church even the next day.
Plus i had to take care of my dad's meals. Which means i can't go for service and i even had to wake up at 8+am to make his breakfast for him.
But i was too sick actually. I didn't wake up and make breakfast. My brother did. And i didn't buy lunch for us bcos i was simply too sick to even walk out. My flu got worse. Now i've lost my voice even.The whole Sunday was spent either in bed or on the sofa, cos i was too groggy to do anything. I did watch a few dvds and read most of 1 Samuel and other books.
Contrary to what some of my friends think, i DO read books. I just don't finish them. That's two different things right? I read a number of books over a LOOOOOOONG period of time.
I don't know why i just don't want to finish a book before i move on to the other books. I'm just fickle-minded. I like to read whatever i feel like reading. That means if i feel like reading the book about love relationship, i picked it up and continue reading it from where i left it the previous time. If i feel like reading about human psychology, i pick up my favorite' The road less traveled' and start reading from where i had left it.
And of cos there are a few other books pertaining to Christianity, like my Purpose-driven life, which took me 4 years and counting and still not done. 40 days of Community, Experiencing the Father's embrace...and I kissed alot of frongs but the prince hasn't come....(yes it's a christian book)
I DO read. Just that the books i seemed to be reading nowadays are these kind of books. What do you call them? Self help? Spiritual? I think i rather call them quite my quiet-time-kind of books.
Why do i take so long to read them? Bcos they are not books that you can just read and glance through. You need time to read and digest the ideas the books are telling you, right? I'm constantly improving and attaining knowledge.
As for the fictional books, why don't i ever finish them? That's purely cos my attention is torn between many books haha...and they happened to not be so exciting hence i don't finish. But I DO finish some books, they were exciting. But that's a terribly long time ago. They are usually borrowed books from the library.
I so aint looking forward to the amount of work and troubleshooting that is waiting for me in the office tomorrow. I'm tired. I think i need a break.
Sighz.
Dear Lord,
Please be in control of everything. I trust that you will. And tomorrow will be a good day.
