Silver for IPPT!

Aiseh!

Never knew I had it in me to achieve Silver leh! After so many years of only "Pass with incentive" and nowhere close so much that I gave up setting Silver as a goal in my annual goal setting LOL. Actually I did equal number of sit ups and push ups as last year, only difference this year was that I started the 2.4km run without pressure on myself. I came in at 14:++ two years ago so I knew I could jog leisurely this year and still qualify for pass w incentive. So today I just jogged slowly, enjoying the wind and the sunset, and remembering what wifey said to me before I left house "if ure tired just jog v slowly and recover ur strength", that pace led me to finish in 13:14min. Not bad if I can say so myself. 😂

Eyesight

Sigh. Something wrong with my eyesight again. Unable to focus v well, near or far. Been taking Lutein leh (though not faithfully as required haha). Time for an eye check.

Yx funny reply

Last night, as usual I read a book to the girls before bedtime. It is a book about the human body, and it described the heart is made up of muscles.

I turned to Yx and told her, "我喜欢吃chicken heart leh."

I was anticipating Yx to react with a shock reaction, but no. Instead she remarked as a matter of factly, 

"我喜欢吃 Pizza Hut."

I LOL!!!

C+ Day 7

Went out liao. Didn't bother to test cos can go out already. But I masked up all the time and didn't dine out!

Wifey still suffering v badly, coughing and hacking. Get well soon!

C+ Day 5

Still the faintest of line...

Update on my sense of taste and smell - eating just tastes and smells like I have a massive blocked nose. U have a hint of flavour, but highly suppressed. But today I discovered I can sour comes out to me the most; so for my meals today I sprinkled Tabasco sauce and flavour came out more elevated than usual. But I can't smell any shit (pun intended). Last night I applied axe brand oil under my nose and whereas usually I would smell the distinguishable sharp and pungent smell after awhile, I couldn't smell shit! I also suspect COVID altered my sense of smell, Wifey did aijiu and surprisingly the incense smelled like 芝蔴糊 , LOL!!!

C+ Day 4

My Day 4 was wifey's Day 1 😱 

I tested myself after 72 hours. As per MOH regulation, I can exit if I test negative! And my body really felt much much better, almost at full strength! So to much apprehension...

Faint line. Bye bye. Stay home. Give up about doing a miraculous recovery and turning up for D&D. Fat hope. 死心吧。

Furthermore I realised food tastes all so bland. Ordered chicken rice for lunch, chicken, rice, cucumber and chilli tasted all quite the same. Same for the sense of smell. The good - Wiping meimei poopoo is easy peasy!

Yx - no symptoms still, but can't go to sch cos no caregiver to escort her 🙃 To err on the cautious side, we still enforce her to mask up. 

Ye - almost full recovery! Although her fever went up to 39.5 once in mid day but to no huge impact on her. Ate better than yesterday.

Wifey - Had it the worst out of the lot. Listless, hacking cough, fever 38! 

Still dam depressed I missed the company event I had extremely looked forward to. But I'm in good company of my family and my kids are in good health... I am consoled. As wifey commented, it's better that we kena now than to catch it close to / during our staycay or Legoland trip! 

Weekend starts tomorrow... The isolation feels like circuit breaker part 2 but at least I can look forward to becoming non- infectious in a day or two ...!
