Infection

I was struck by a vicious viral infection for exactly a week. Oh boy, was it unbearable. It started with me losing my voice, then my sense of smell, and then my sleep. The hardest part of it all was...I never had a good rest. I went to work in between, drifted in and out of drowsiness and walked like a zombie amongst colleagues. The treacherous weather served only to make it worse.

By Friday, I had almost recovered. Nonetheless, not wanting to risk a re-infection, and with Blossom in Goa, Kimono suggested staying in to cook for me. We went grocery shopping after work to pick out the ingredients. We had spaghetti, bacon, ham, french beans, beef fillet, potato and fresh mushrooms all in one night. That was the best meal I had in a week - having been deprived from all sinful and tasty food. We were paid a surprise visit by a baby lizard in the midst of our meal, so I doubled up as a pest exterminator :p

By Sat, I felt chummier. So I was rewarded with Underworld Evolution on the big screen. Man oh man...Kate Beckinsale was HOT. Haha...seeing her first time on big screen in her birthday suit was sweet :D She really has a good bod >:)

As the sun set, we drove to Dempsey once again to try our luck. As before, we were greeted by Mr Gay Waiter and disappointed with a full house. This time round, he passed us his calling card and made sure we called before we came. I think the next time I will give Dempsey a miss to try out One R :p

Dinner became seafood which wasn't fantastic. Nevertheless, my senses recovered, and along with it, my appetitie came back and I lost 2 kg. All of the above, combined with fantastic company, should make up for my whole week of suffering :D
