That is what my GP measured yesterday morning. He gave me antibiotics, 2 types of pills for the fever, and sent me home with 2 days MC. Now the fever is slowly subsiding, to be replaced with lung-busting coughs.   I hate being sick.

I may not be a Jodi Picoult fan, but I find myself reading her books on my Nook whenever I’m bored and need written words to carry me away from realities of life. Each of her books deal with a specific social issue, and her words are quite a page turner, even if the only […]

  In 2008, Seattle Supersonics, an NBA franchise with 41 years of history in the city of Seattle, ceased to exist, its franchise moved to Oklahoma City and was renamed Oklahoma City Thunder.

I realized I have not updated this blog for nearly a month, post-CNY blues? Anyway, not much has happened since CNY, have not tried to cook any new dishes. Well, I did cook claypot-style chicken rice with a rice cooker, but being the lazy bum I am, I’ll put up a blog entry for that […]

Pepsi, Lays & Tropicana brought together entertainers endorsing their products to produce a short film / commercial for CNY 2012, with its theme of going home for reunion dinner. Catch Louis Koo, Zhou Xun, Show Luo, Angela Chang, and veteral Chinese actor & director Zhang Guo Li in this short tale that aims to tug […]
