The week that was

As we speak I am convalescing from the flu. There's still vestiges of disease in my system and I am still coughing like a grandma but overall I think I am already on the way to full recovery. I was bedridden for a couple of days and that bored me to tears as I am not a big fan of TV watching and I lacked the minimum number of brain cells to be able to read properly. I was left with no other choice but to Facebook like mad to amuse myself and help me forget that I was immobile and useless.

I am still not very thrilled about work, but I have learnt to live with my demons. I met a girl in the office and she's also a newbie, and having her around helped make things at work a lot more tolerable. I eat and sleep better (relatively) now compared to last week and I am quite happy with the progress I am making.

Fridays are still the highlight of my week. A friend from Indonesia (with the most limpid and expressive eyes) was in town and we had dinner. He was the sweetest - brought me Mi Goreng and Gudang Garam and keychains and things. I also had nibbles and drinkies with girlfriends and that really helped cap a rather lackluster week.

I think for now my pattern will be auto-pilot mode Mondays to Thursdays - meaning I will merely go through the motions at work on those days. Fridays I will reserve for listening to The Cure and trying to be as sublimely happy as I can as I celebrate the end of another work-week and the promise of catching up with friends again.
