It's happened AGAIN

It seems as if my reign of "worst immune system of 2007" is continuing into 2008. Friday afternoon I started to get a bit of a sore throat. I blame it on the fact that the traders insist on keeping the dealing room at a ridiculous (in my opinion) 19-20 degrees Celsius! That's about 66 for us Fahrenheit users.

I spent Friday night in bed and sadly decided scrap my plans to hit the beach on Saturday and instead, I slept in for most of the day hoping to kick this cold. I did make it out to meet up with a friend for dinner at this great hole in the wall place. (Qun Zhong Eating House/Jing Hua Xiao Ci 21 Neil Rd.)

There were only roughly 12 things on the menu and we had about a 30
minute wait to get seats. We got some hot and sour soup, an order of
xiao long bao, and "chinese pizza" (pictured on the right) which was this crispy fried dough that was filled with the same filling for the dumplings. There is this older gentleman that runs the show there. Outside the front door, people just gather outside waiting for a seat. There isn't really a "line", just people everywhere. Somehow, him and his help keep track of who came first and the number in each party without any issues. Apparently, he is known for being a bit "nasty" and having an attitude of "If you dont want to wait or have a problem, then leave because there are 10 people lined up outside who won't complain."

And here I am on Sunday night, having spent most of my day in bed (except for a quick shopping stint where I picked up my first pair of Crocs!) and I'm still sick. Hopefully I'm feeling better next weekend as its my last one here in Singapore! Well I'm off to watch some more tv, use up some more tissues, and sleep some more!
