Off sick

Thought I hurt my back last weekend when moving those luggages around, but I felt ok then and was back to work on Tuesday. However after a day at work sitting on the chair, the condition seems to take a nose dive and I struggle to get back home that day. Walking and sitting down is sooo painful that I prefer to lay on my side these days. Saw the GP today and she informed me that it's muscle spasm and prescribed me with codeine as the pain killer. I have to take the codeine together with Ibuprofen and Paracetamol to reduce pain. Sooo much pain killers!!!

A check on the internet shows that codeine is a Class B drug in UK!!! The GP did mention that codeine is slight lower than morphine in strength, and will prescribe me with higher strength medicine if codeine doesn't reduce my pain. I hope codeine will do the trick...., ok off to rest now as my back hurts like hell from all the walking to/ from GP.

Update : Codeine is effective for me and it's also making me very drowsy!! Zzzzzz....

Car Showroom

First time I been to car showroom but I wasn't buying a car, just to accompany someone!

The 3 cars we viewed :-

Honda Civic




Pro : Look great, dashboard speedometer look far too cool to give this a miss.
Con : Expensive!
Review from UK Autotrader : 8.8
Conclusion : If got the money, buy this car! It has the WOW factor.

Toyota Altis




Pro : Cheaper than Honda Civic
Con : The above photo were taken on a Limited Edition Altis. The 'normal' Altis is very woody looking. The stereo also very cheapo looking, didn't seems to fit in with the interior design of the car.
Conclusion : A BIG NO NO!!

Nissan Latio




Pro : Super silent. Very spacious, can even put a lady handbag in the glove compartment. Cheaper than Honda Civic. Impress with the keyless sensor.
Con : Still woody looking.
Conclusion : Buy this car. But if you got money, buy Honda Civic!

Singapore

Reach Singapore safe and sound & have been going shopping almost daily. It's sooooo enjoyable to be walking into shops and malls when it's not crowded, no waiting for fitting rooms/ cashiers, sometimes you get good personal shopper services too.

We were wandering around Bargain City last week and saw that the Juicing machine which we bought in UK was selling for S$99.90!!!



We only bought it for £9!!! (£9 = approx S$30)...... Not everything in Singapore is cheap...

Marley & Me
Just bought the book (Marley & Me) this morning and can't seems to put it down. It's funny and at the same time also makes me cry in some pages. I was reading at March station platform while waiting for the train when the lady next to me saw the book I was reading and commented that I will be crying towards the end!!

So if I got puffy eyes when you meet me in Singapore, you know why.....
