Unfocused!
I have to make a mental note to myself: NEVER fall ill before going away! I was really unfocused at the conference and most of the time, I found myself wishing I was back at my apartment sleeping. :( I was suffering from my cold and jet lag. A double whammy. :(

Adjustments
Coming back from Denver, there are 2 adjustments which I have to make. First, I have to adjust to the change in time and second, I have to adjust to the difference in climate/ weather.
I find the second adjustment fairly easy to make but it is the first adjustment that I am having problems with. My body clock is out of synchronisation with Singapore time. My body is still operating on Denver time, that means I am falling asleep at the wrong time and I am getting hungry at the wrong time. :( In other words, I am jet lagged! The symptoms I have are irregular sleep pattern, fatigue, grogginess and sometimes "disorientation", especially when I wake up - I do not know where I am lol.
I hope I will recover from jet lag soon, in another day or two's time.

Jet Lag and Swine Flu
It has been a day and a half since I came back from the USA. I am suffering from jet lag. :( My body is telling me to eat and sleep at the wrong times! Hopefully I will be back to normal soon.
Due to the outbreak of swine flu in Mexico, I have some friends who were concerned for my safety when they knew I was still in the USA. They were relieved that I am back safe and sound in Singapore. No worries, Friends, other than being jet lagged, I am fine. No sign of swine flu for me. :P TOUCHWOOD lol.
When I was in the USA, I saw the news about the swine flu in Mexico. Honestly speaking, it sounded serious and sure brought back memories of SARS. Now, the confirmed and suspected cases of swine flu deaths has hit over 100 in Mexico and there are 20 confirmed swine flu cases in the USA (with 7 cases in California). The USA has declared a public health emergency and some countries have installed thermal scanners to screen travellers from the USA. When I returned in the wee hours of Sunday, I missed the health screening at Changi Airport by a few hours lol. :P
I hope that swine flu could be contained in time and not become a pandemic like SARS did. Once again, Friends, thanks for being concerned about me. I am lucky to have friends like you guys. :)

Crashed!
Crashed 1
Today is my first day back at work. After two weeks away, I am ready to start work again. But guess what? My notebook crashed! AHHHHHHH! On my first day of work?!! And I didn't had time to back up my data (two month's worth of work) before I went away to Hong Kong and Korea!! Sigh. There is nothing I could do except to send my notebook to the ER (IT department). Hopefully, they can help to retrieve my data.
Crashed 2
I am suffering from jet lag severely lol. I am sleeping and I am awake at the wrong times of the day. Maybe after a few more days, I would be ok. But right now, I am crashing badly too, not unlike my notebook, hahaha. :P

Jet Lag
I think I am still suffering from jet lag lol.
I was in office today and had it pretty bad. I was out of it most times. I was there physically but I found myself "wandering" away in the mind. You know what I mean? My mind was out of it. Put in another way, I see people but I don't see them. Ok, NOT in the sense that "I see dead people", lol. I mean that the person could be right in front of me but I or my mind don't register who he/ she is. Someone else had to alert me. It happened several times today at work. Gosh, I really hope that they don't misunderstand. I really DIDN'T see them at all!
All day long, I only knew that my brain was screaming at me, "Sleep, Sleep, SLEEP!!!". I really felt like a zombie. When I got home after work in the evening, I just felt like going to bed and sleep! But I knew if I sleep, I would be wide awake in the night lol. Then I would be tired again in the morning and so on... No, I don't want to go that way. Yes, I can do this... NOT! Lol.
I fell asleep while putting my daughter to bed at 9pm. I think I fell asleep before she did, lol. :P Now I am wide awake. Sigh. Company? Anyone out there to keep me company?
