Baby Baby!

Oh my...some nasty virus has been making its rounds visiting a couple of folks man...and yours truly here is probably one of the latest victims.

Today is the second day I'm on MC...good thing too, that I can have a good rest. I fell sick on Tuesday afternoon, while I was at work. I even dropped by a client's place for a meeting! Gosh, now that I think back, I wonder where that strength came from! For the first time, I had to work while my body was working up with a temperature. Really, I felt so darn weak & terrible, I simply wish I could die! haha...

I took a cab straight to the doctor's after I knocked off, but the nurse kept me waiting for another 45min before I finally saw the doctor, for 5min. To think I was burning a fever of 40degrees...I was too feverish to tell the doctor what else I suffered from (I was too weak to remember to tell him about my diarrhoea). Even the doctor was surprised that I burnt up a high fever within such a short time. I bet he would have intended to send me to the hospital if he hadn't brought my temperature down. Ha!

Was still burning this morning, but I think it has more or less stabilised. I'm left with a bad sore throat now, so I guess it's back to work tomorrow again. I brought some work back, and I'm trying to get started on my work, though I doubt I will finish much. There's still the tuition class I have on tonight, but I really haven't got much mood to go for it.

With my niece, Reiko (my eldest sister, Eugenia's) at 5mths old now, my second sister (Tricia) has brought news that she's 3mths pregnant too. The expected delivery will be early next year, around the Chinese Lunar New Year. Haha...I'm gonna be aunt to a second babe now. THough of course, the logistics are difficult to settle. My second sister is trying to solve the problem of finding someone to look after her baby when it's born. For my eldest sister, my mom looked after the baby since she was born. And my eldest sister is still staying with us. Hmm...to be fair, my mom should look after my second sister's child when it's born too. But of course, my parents can't be looking after 2 babies at the same time...too tough for them. So, the best arrangement probably would be for my eldest sister to bring baby Reiko back.

It's still too early to tell the gender of the baby. Hmm..the give-a-name process shall start again! That's fun...hehehe! FYI, I was the one (with my second sister) who searched and came up with 'Reiko', as well as Reiko's chinese name, YuXuan.

Gosh...I'm feeling dizzy again. I'm returning to bed to rest now...
