Personal: June 2008 Archives

I think I'm having a streak of bad luck coz my digicam fell into the water while I was getting my towel in Sebangkoi Country Resort during the weekend and it remained submerged for at least 30 minutes before we realized it was missing and went in search for the renegade device. It was finally found in the rocks below two feet of water.

I had thought someone else had nicked it and was so thankful that at least the memory card (which contained all the photos) was intact and would likely be readable (despite the fact that the entire body was dripping with water). It is a testament to Sony digital camera's resilience that it was STILL working after letting it dry out for 8 hours behind the suite's fridge.

The digital camera worked (despite a really slow start up time) the next day and I was able to get it working on Monday morning too before it finally died on me just now, citing a "For use with compatible battery only" error message before automatically shutting down. I really need a new digicam and would have to get a new one tomorrow.



Sigh...and I just got this one about two weeks ago which made it's lifespan cost about RM 84 per day. I used up two digicams in a single month and I'll have to get a new one tomorrow. Three digital cameras in a month. Jesus, I think I'm going to need sponsorship soon.

I'm kidding. Seriously though, it would help finance the purchase if someone helps out. That really is my bank account number and with my lifestyle, it's current balance is about RM 371.42. :(

I took a sick day today due to an URTI infection according to the doctor's diagnosis. I have been coughing really badly for the past few days and getting symptoms of the flu for about a week now. It took a turn for the worse last night when I came down with a fever. I went into work this morning anyway, but felt I was too sick to be there, so I went to one of the panel doctors and he told me I had an Upper Respiratory Tract Infection and put me on a course of antibiotics. He wanted to give me three (3) days sick leave but I told him I only wanted one (1) day since there's a lot of outstanding work to be done at the office.

I'm not being sanctimonious or anything like that, it's just that I really enjoy what I'm currently doing in the office right now. I went over to Sandra's pharmacy and she gave me some hydroxyzine gratis which makes me really sleepy so I'm going to catch some sleep and shake off the fever.

I know that one in three sick days are from people pulling a sickie but I'm seriously ill right now (not as in terminally ill, but feverish). The title of the post doesn't help, but I just thought it would be funny. :)

I'll reply the comments tomorrow. Mr. Sandman is calling.
