KL - 27 Sept

Today a few of us supposed to meet at the apartment lobby at 8am & we were supposed to reach Bandar Sunway, another of our store under renovation & shifting of location, to help out. Though we all have different roles to play, the objectives were the same - to finish what we had to do so that the store can be open for business.
.
Scratchy throat, runny nose & the stubborn body aches that just wouldn't go away. That's how it has been for some of us still struggling to 'survive' here.
.
Uncle picked us up at 8:15am from the Somerset Apartment. We were at Sunway by 9:15am. We all had breakfast.
.
Yeah.. traditional simple breakfast that was not so sinful. It was also my 2nd or 3rd time eating half-boiled eggs.. eeeky.. *Oops*
.
In this country, everything is not as efficient as how we had expected it to be.. seriously. We finished our breakfast & supposed to start doing our things.. ALAS the contractors couldn't hand the site over to us. SO, we had to kill a few hours before we could start. In my heart I was thinking .. "Da*n.. I could have catch a few more hours of sleep that I am so lack of!"
.
Well, we had no choice. We were dismissed for a few hours. It was as long as 5 hours. I felt my time were wasted. Very, extremely wasted. We really could have, all of us, slept in later, take a good shower, freshen up before we actually made our way there BUT due to the inefficiency of these people OR perhaps, the inability to keep to such schedule, created such scenario. We all adjourned to a coffee joint.

.
It was 12pm & we decided to move on for lunch since we had practically nothing to do in the mall! We all went to Kim Gary.
I ordered Black Pepper Pork Slices with Rice. I needed rice & I was craving for rice!! I was hungry & tired & sleepy.. as if I was not everyday.. *sigh* I also felt frustrations flooding my mind.
.
When we were eventually ready to start packing, it was 4pm. & I really felt unwell. The dust & air was horrendous. All these added on to my sore throat & runny nose.. GOSH..

Wore a mask to stay alive. I am a few more days away from GOING HOME & I want to be able to go home & not get sick & hospitalised in this city! .

I couldn't take it. Felt really sick by 6pm. It was difficult to breathe & I felt as if the dust had choked up my lungs. I also had runny tummy & felt really miserable. I had to call for uncle to pick me up at 7:30pm. In a way, as always, I felt really bad the rest are stil working. They actually stayed on untill 11:30pm that night. I was thinking I would not be able to work even if I had stayed on.

.

I went back to rest. SORRY FOLKS!
