Famished

The stupid MSN is driving me nuts.

I don't know why the man beside me is chatting happily on his MSN, while I can't even bloddy sign in. If it's not a 'network problem" again, please don't tell me it's my machine that's screwy.

Good thing, these days I'm smart enough to find strategic seating at the cafes right next to the power points where I can plug my machine in.


I'm finally feeling hunger. In fact, I'm famished to the point I think I can devour a cow (ok, or a sack of potatoes).

I can't find a dinner date tonight. Everyone seems preoccupied. Bad timing, I suppose.

I think I'm gonna find me a nice Vietnamese restaurant. I really mean it when I talk about devouring a cow. I'm craving for beef - medium-rare fresh beef slices in spicy basil-flavored soup.

Problem is, I don't know where I can find a Vietnamese restaurant in Singapore - let alone a cheap and good one.


I felt so fresh this morning, I thought I must really have had a good night's sleep. But then, by two in the afternoon, I was so tired (just sitting at my desk) I am almost convinced there's a medical reason behind my constant fatigue.

Maybe I'm dying.

For sure, at least, I think I'm falling sick.

What a time to go on my long-awaited medical leave. Three days before I'm due to board a 18-hour flight.
