On MC


I'm on MC today - that's what the locals here call a sick leave. I'm not really sure what MC stands for but what the heck, everyone uses it if a colleague is on sick leave!
Anyway, I've been coughing and sneezing for the past three days and I decided to take the day off and just rest here at home. My boyfriend left for work at around 845 am (late as usual) and I got up and turned on the TV because today (9am via satellite) is the premier of my favorite reality show in the world - The Amazing Race (Family Edition).
Watching TV and coughing is not a very good combination and I wanted to take my medicine. But I need to eat first. Unfortunately, since we are in the middle of a flat move, there's not much healthy food around here. All i can eat was cheese and bacon omellet with mushroom soup and rice. Then I took my medicine.. Ascorbic Acid, another one for my cough and a paracetamol because I've been having headaches because of too much coughing. Either that or it's just the heat. Then one of my colleague SMS me that my boyfriend is hers for the day since I'm on MC. Hahaha! I just told her to take good care of him and bring him back in one piece! That's just one of the jokes we have at the office. My colleague SP always jokes that she has the hots for my boyfriend. But even if it's true, it does not bother me because I know he's not going to take her seriously.
Then I decided to take a nap because I got bored watching Girl Interrupted on Star Movies. Then I woke up coughing with a terrible headache. I decided to take a shower to cool myself down. I ate champorado and took my medicines again.
Now I'm still coughing my lungs off. Later, I'll ask my other flatmate if I can have some of his "Pei Pak Wa" (a cough syrup he took for his cough) and I asked my bf to buy me something healthy with vitamin C so that hopefully, tomorrow I will feel much better.

Best Tiramisu


So far, this is the best Tiramisu I've ever tasted!
One of the good things here: variety of food!
Bad thing: makes me gain weight!
