I should know that I can never ever take my health for granted. Just when I thought that I will not fall sick during this holidays, I came down with sore throat and flu last Sunday, 2 days before I was supposed to go back to Singapore. As it is, I can't really enjoy my last week before leaving fully. I thought that I had sort of recovered on Thursday, but a night of KTV-ing, followed by a movie and eating fish and chips yesterday have left me with sore throat and flu again. Argh!! I just hope I can recover before I go back.

I realize that people can be very fickle indeed. I was reading the match report for England vs Greece and the one thing that stood out in my mind was that the fans were very fickle and changed their minds easily. The fans were initially not supportive of Steve McClaren becoming the England coach, yet when he came out for the second half with England 4-0 up, he was cheered. Even more telling was the reaction to Owen Hargreaves. His every touch during England's warm-up game before the World Cup at Old Trafford was booed, but after an impressive World Cup in which he was voted England's player of the tournament, his every touch during the friendly with Greece at the same venue was cheered loudly. Ah..how quickly the fans' perceptions have changed.

I guess, in a way, this also shows in the way we deal with people around us. Something that a person has done can ruin a great friendship or change our impression of the person drastically. Or to put it differently, a relationship/friendship can be formed or repaired because of what someone has done that means a lot to us. Ah well.

I don't like the person I have become lately. Impatient, easily irritated, tend to snap at people easily, getting really listless and restless. I have no idea why I'm feeling like that. Perhaps it is because I am sick. Or perhaps it is the prospect of leaving so soon. Whatever the case, it sucks to be feeling this way and I hope I will get out of it soon.

There are so many things on my mind that I want to say, but I can't find the right words to say what is on my mind. Perhaps some things are better left unsaid.
