Random notes #1/2014 ....

1. I have been getting much and much better after being struck down by the influenza virus which left feeling so terrible over the last weekend where I spent almost the weekend in bed. Well, I am back to my exercises as I really needed to sweat in order to feel good, but then, I only did light workouts on Monday and Tuesday and played an hour of badminton yesterday evening. I also supplement myself with 1000mg of Vitamin C daily.

2. I blogged about the disposable cleansing wipes for lens, eyeglasses, camera, tablets and etc back in April (link). My generous colleague got me this famous lens-maker brand, Zeiss, cleaning wipes. At S$10, there were about 50 pieces in the box. I tried using it and the pungent smell of alcohol was lesser compared to the brand that I am using while the effects are more or less the same.

3. I was watching World Cup matches almost daily at 12am before I sleep and at 7.30am after I have just wake up but haven't wash up yet. Most of the time, I will just watched the first half in the evening and then, for the morning matches, I will go for the second half. The timing are just right! Lunches and tea breaks with colleagues are also about football. Am I 'eat' football, 'sleep' football  now ?

Breakfast at Subway
4. I try to have nutritious breakfast and good coffee after the matches so that I am fresh and alert for the day.  I had a Subway sandwich on Tuesday morning and two half boiled eggs with toasts yesterday. :)

I will be on leave tomorrow to bring my kids out for a nice day out. Have a good weekend! :)

  3. Those late World Cup nights, bad for health!!! Sure your flu would get worse if you are not fully recovered yet. Will need more nutritious food than Subway - those preserved meats not really good for you.

  13. I can't watch all the matches in real time too - if anyone can I don't know how they find the time coz it's at least 6 hours each day for the 3 matches...unless you take a holiday and go to Brazil (where a friend's husband actually went).

    I like Singapore Subway SGD 5 subs too - it's good and cheaper than over here if you don't convert.

  32. foongpc - flu is always terrible, nobody loves it. The cough, sore throat, body pains, running nose, drowsiness ...sigh... so sian. And it takes days to recover, at least 3-4 days to feel better only.
