I got the flu. No, not the deadly one, but the usual kind. So I stayed home.
When I did go to work I put on a mask. These days you cannot cough or sneeze in public without people staring at you like you are the carrier of the black death. Hence this look :
I sure looked the part. I restricted my movement and brought (simple) food from home so as not to expose other people to my germs.
When I did leave the office, it was just a quick trip to the pharmacy for supplies or the supermarket for groceries. I bumped into this leng chai and he was fast asleep.
I sure was glad to see him again.
My partner made me eat pineapples because he said it is good for me. Luckily I like pineapples. I did not do any cooking as I was just not in the mood.
For meals, I had simple stuff like sandwiches and overnight oats. But one day I snapped. Must. Eat. Delicious. Food.
Cannot tahan.
Chicken biryani from Macha & Co. via Grabfood. This happened last weekend. I know this is not sick people food. No, I will not eat porridge. It will make me sicker. hah..hah...
These days I can't eat in peace when my cat is around. Whatever I am eating, she will come around and kepoh2. Want to see what I am eating and try to get some. No, Girl. You cannot eat nasi biryani.
I'm glad I have my cat to keep me company when I am at home. She sure brightens my day.
Have a great weekend everyone and stay safe. I will get more rest and hope for a full recovery so that I can eat this :
Wahahahaha!!!
wahhhhh…….syioknyer makan~~~I jealous u got a cat to accompany u...LOLX
ReplyDeleteyou want a cat? there are many rescued cats waiting to be adopted by you to have a lovely home!
Deletei don't think i can take good care of the cat, i m a terrible caretaker...
DeleteVery true that one has to invest some time to care for a cat which includes cleaning up after the cat ie litter box duty hee..hee..
DeleteAt least you are a responsible person, there are some who sneeze and cough without covering their mouths. Hope you recover fully soon so can eat all the nice food haha. My heart softens whenever i see your cat. So cute lah.
ReplyDeleteThanks and also thanks for your kind words about my cat. I love her so much!
DeleteI was thinking why PH not writing about her cat so thanks for the steady photo of her. She has a steadfast gaze. she can look at the camera hp and let you take her photo.
ReplyDeleteSometimes she will just turn away and refuse to look at the camera hah..hah..
Deletesiapa punya red welcome mat that the cat was sleeping on? Glad you saw him again.
ReplyDeleteThat mat was just outside the entrance of an office of the ground floor. I wonder where this cat lives.
DeleteTake a good rest to get fully well. If Tom Hanks and wife can get it, anyone can get it so you did well to stay home to prevent passing what you have to other people. one could have it with very mild symptoms.
ReplyDeleteI did take some days off from work and that helped a lot. I am almost recovered now, thanks.
DeleteI guessed that much since you've been 'absent' on your blog the past week. Take care, drink lots of fluids and get well soon. You're right...coughing and sneezing in public get looked upon these days as if you're the carrier of the plague, so best to stay indoors if unwell. It's so nice, isn't it, to have a pet around to accompany you...which make the days better.
ReplyDeleteChampion-lah you...can eat nasi biryani when you're unwell! :D When I'm sick, I only want porridge as my tastebuds will be dead! Cookie is the same...he'll always disturb me when I'm eating especially when I'm having fried chicken or chicken rice (his favourite human food). If I know it's something he doesn't eat (like fruits for example or even spicy chicken), I'll shove it, err I mean bring it near to his nose coz once they sniff something they don't eat, they'll walk away and won't bother you again. Ahh, I see Ah Girl is getting better at posing! ^_~ P/S: I like that 'doctored' selfie of yours...I might just recognise you if I bump into you...*evil laughter*! ;D
I am almost recovered now, thanks. No more coughing and sneezing, just feeling a little hazy but I am sure that will pass in a few days.
DeleteYeah lah, even when sick, I can eat! hah..hah... I do that too with my cat. Some foods that she can't eat, I will let her smell and she will naturally retreat hee..hee.. Since you hardly come to Uptown, I think I will be safe from being recognized hah..hah...
oh no! thankfully it's a 'normal' illness and you'll be up and about by next week, hopefully. all the best for a speedy and smooth recovery! i've been having a sore throat and stuffy nose this week, but luckily, those are 'normal illness' symptoms too!
ReplyDeleteHope that you have recovered! I am up and about and it's so nice to be well though not 100%.
DeleteAdoi! Not very healthy food you have there! Pineapples? Ya, I hear it is good for a flu/cough. Stay away from that feline! The fur is bad for you, respiratory problems!
ReplyDeleteSo fat thankfully I have no issues with the cat's fur. I can even kiss her safely hee..hee..
DeleteNowadays people are very sensitive to people who sneeze or cough around them. So I carry with me some plain water and some throat candy to keep my throat moist to avoid irritation. Businesses everywhere is down due to less people moving around or eating out.
ReplyDeleteI also do the same - carry some sweets with me to soothe my throat. The supermarkets that I visit were so crowded yesterday and today.
DeleteNow whenever you cough or sneeze, it is a big deal and you will get stare from others. Haha.
ReplyDeleteWhen I am sick, I usually craving for those spicy or fried food. Lol.
Get well soon. So you can eat whatever you want.
Very true, that's why I am very careful hah..hah..
DeleteOh, just like me, need spicy food to stimulate my appetite!
I am almost recovered now, thanks!
Take care and speedy recovery!
ReplyDeleteI like pineapples too. It's my go to fruit whenever I have bruises or swelling as it has anti-inflammatory properties.
Thank you! I suppose I should eat pineapples on a regular basis :)
DeleteI just reported back to office today after half a week of the office going through "deep cleaning". There was a mask wearing bloke coughing intermittently and we just scolded him into going home. :/
ReplyDeleteOh yes, anyone with cough and cold should stay home to avoid passing it on to others.
