Running then Blocked

Recently, I made another short business trip to BKK and it wasn't pretty. More of those last minute ad hoc things. Here's the gist:

  1. KUL-BKK in the evening after a full working day.
  2. Had slight flu.
  3. Had a painful descent to the flu.
  4. Arrived at the hotel in BKK at about 10:00pm local time.
  5. Discovered that a room wasn't reserved for us. Blamed us for not booking. Stupid. Can request us to go over, but we have to request for a room to stay. Takkan tidur bawah jambatan?!
  6. After a quick shower, started to work past midnight because my boss wanted to show something not available in the demo system.
  7. Slept.
  8. Woke up feeling like crap.
  9. Had a horrible runny nose all throughout the demo.
  10. Had lunch.
  11. Caught the flight out (BKK-KUL).
  12. Had another painful descent.
  13. Found my ears blocked.
  14. Immediately consulted a doctor when I reached KUL.
  15. Started to cough.
  16. The cough has persisted till this day.


Declared to my boss that I'm doing that again. Prepared a Virtual PC image of the system for him. A Windows Server 2003 image which requires at least 1024MB of RAM to run smoothly. I think he hasn't got that much memory on his laptop to spare. Hehe. He can go on these rushed jobs all he likes now.

The last paragraph just flew past my head .... my poor baby ....

Er ... think you meant "I'm NOT doing that again" ;-)

that's the signal from the body, demanding for a rest.

went through that, and I was defeated physically.

Don't want you to go through the same thing.

Take care, you need a break!

Poor thing... You should take a good rest in this coming weekend :P

Avoid travelling on air when you have flu or nose block, it will have a very high chances to cause deafness. Some airlines captains lost their flying license due to this case, quite dangerous in fact flying when you have nose block or flu.

Get some rest. Too much Bangkok probably?

Take care of yourself first. If you're not well, how can you expect to effectively take care of other things?
