Chicken Pox

As some of you might have already found out, I'm down with chicken pox. At the age of 25 :(

It's so ironic because I told my new employer that I would need one week to settle my things and be ready for work, and yet I'm down with chicken pox at the very start of the week, thus ending any of my plans.

A bad start to my working career. 5 days of medical leave gone. Unclaimable during probation period.

But well, at least I finally got hold of my new laptop. A 15" MacBook Pro. So happy! I still need a portable HDD to transfer all my files from my previous laptop though. But I can't step out of my house yet!

Talking about the chicken pox, many people have told me not to scratch, otherwise I wouldn't look good anymore. But sadly, all the four scars that I have currently, all happen to be on my face. One right at my right eye brow, one at my chin, one on the right cheek, and the last one just below the third one on the cheek. The first two are scarily huge, they look more like infections to me. They look like 2 huge holes, bled so much that the blood all dried up, and now I don't even dare to look at the mirror. I guess that's it, no more pretty boy. Face's gonna be disfigured forever. The funny thing is I didn't scratch them at all. These 2 holes appeared even before the rest of the chicken pox broke out. So how did these 2 holes appear, I do not know.

Besides those scars, I can consider myself lucky because there isn't really a lot of it all over my body, and they don't itch. Not at the moment at least. Only occasional two or three of them itch, but only for awhile. But my friends told me that it itches really bad when it starts to recover, so I'm mentally prepared for that. Good thing I've got a high threshold for itch.

Today is Day 4 of my chicken pox, and I'm already dying of boredom at home. I really need to find something to do. I've cleaned my room, swept my room, packed my table. I guess the next thing that I can do is to pack my wardrobe, which I'll take my own sweet time to do it tomorrow, otherwise I'll end up doing nothing but staring at my computer screen blankly again.

Many of my friends have fallen ill these few days, whether is it a small illness or a major one. So please my friends, please take care of yourselves. Make sure you drink a lot of water. Do not underestimate the power of having lots of water. It performs magic :)

Alright, another 5 minutes of my time wasted. Time to go plan for what to do for the next 23 hours and 55 minutes.

Back

Been too lazy to update my own blog recently :p

Many things have happened since my last update, the best one being me finishing my exams! And hopefully I'll be able to pass all my modules and get my degree.

All this while I've been wanting to go overseas for a short trip with my friends or classmates after my exams, but unfortunately due to the economic crisis, I was unable to find people to go with me. I've not given up yet though. So please, people who read this article and are able to fork out 7 days of your time to go to Taiwan/Hong Kong with me, please leave a message in my tagboard.

Right now I'm just lazing at home everyday, and looking for a job. So anyone with any job lobangs?! Please tell me!

And if anyone wishes to go out for a simple dinner or movie or something, feel free to call or sms me. I'm free at the moment :) Big group outings are recommended.


A side-note: It's time I learn to start driving slowly. After seeing a friend of mine getting into a serious car accident, it makes me wonder what if I was the one driving and got into such an accident? Will I be as lucky as him, suffering not-so-serious injuries? Or will I not? Luckily he's fine right now and I'm happy for him. Let's just hope that he doesn't get a serious punishment.


Another side-note: Congratulations to Marcus and Wanhua! Really happy to see you two getting happily married, and hope that your love and marriage will last forever! Must keep me informed when you guys start to have kids! Hahahaha

Day 4

Manchester United. King of England again. Let's hope that they'll be crowned King of Europe again too on the 27th May. Go United!!!

Been reading my old friend's blog and looking at her pictures in her facebook, and am really happy for her that she has found someone that she's very happy with.

Counting to my official graduation from SIM-UOL, provided that everything goes smoothly and I pass every project and paper: 10 more days

Day 3

Millions was really quiet today, and all I did was sit in there, drink my jug of beer and played my PSP. It was only when my battery went flat that I started to think about all the events that occured recently. Many people saw that I am a very different person from the Sky they know, and asked if I was OK. Thanks for your concern.

Managed to sleep at only 9am, but woke up at 10am. Haven't been sleeping at all ever since Monday night. If this goes on, I'm gonna die man. I'm gonna suffer from my usual lack-of-sleep pimple outbreak :(

All things in life happen for a reason, and in one way or the other, it's going to make me a better person. I'm learning from all these things, and I know what wrongs have I done. It's time I start to learn to look at things from a different perspective whenever I do something.

Day 2

Today's paper was fine. Once again, the exam format is totally different from past years. I really wonder if UOL really hates us, or that they think so highly of us that they can come up with something different and expect us to score.

After that, had dinner with a few of my classmates at V8 Cafe at Bugis. Food was not bad, and company was good. Had an hour chat during our dessert session at 记得吃. Lotsa random stuff like what's going to happen to us after we graduate, what are our plans in the future, school teachers in the past, prom nights etc. Was lots of fun.

After a long gaming session at the arcade with Edward, I then went for a drink all alone as the rest of the gang couldn't make it. Was sweet for some people to applaud me when I sang 很想你 and 搞笑. One waitress came over and asked me if I was feeling emo, because she could feel it when she heard the way I sang the songs. This is what I meant by singing with your heart, and people will be able to feel it.

Sadly, developed a fever when I was there, and when I came back home, it blew to 39.4 highest. Currently at 39.0, hope that it will go down soon. Gonna be a long and really boring week. Anyone wishes to go watch Angels & Demons with me?

Day 1

Was out for steamboat with No.3 last night at Bugis, and I must say that the service and food was not bad. They even have free flow of BBQ food. After that was a drinking session with the gang.

Yes, I broke down and cry last night. In front of everyone. Twice in fact, and it's all because I heard the song 搞笑 by 罗志祥. Don't ask me why. I'm one who doesn't show such emotions in front of people, whether friends or family. To those who showed concern and asked me if I was fine, thank you for those words of concern.

I always keep my emotions to myself, and yesterday was just the point where it became uncontrollable. Moreover, many unhappy things have happened recently, and to add on to it, my pressure of aiming to get As for my examinations in order to get a first class honours.

Everything just flowed. It's good to let it all out I guess. I'm perfectly fine, and right now I'm trying to concentrate on my examination for tomorrow.

To all holy beings, my dead dad and grandmother, please protect my friends and I from all bad things, and please help us through everything and make sure that everything will turn out fine.

Explanation And Redemption

Whatever happened last night, is regrettable. I am wrong to have done such things, and I'm not afraid to admit it and say sorry.

What's going to happen to us from now onwards?

I care a lot about you, and I like you. The whole world knows it. You care too, and I'm glad you do. You had high expectations of me, and yet I did all these, and as such your disappointment's even greater.

Right now I accidentally drew a line between me and you. What I will do, is that I will do what I can to earn back the opportunity to erase this line, and to make sure that this kind of stuff do not happen again. Otherwise, it's going to be un-reversable.

I am still the same Calvin Choy, minus last night. I am still the same guy who cares for your safety, your health, your life, your happiness, your everything. My brother always tell me suffering from setbacks is the way a person improves to become a better person. I will learn from this mistake, and make sure that I do not repeat it again, to become a better person.

Please wait, and don't leave. That's all I ask for.
