Note and reflections:
After a fail attempt to do my six month dentist visit (because the last visit was less than 6 months; but the dentist should have told me on the phone), I walked to underground mall to sit and read a book, waiting for an appointed dinner time with Wayne. The first time to walk around the area was interesting. I saw various shops and stores and the road filled with rush hour traffic. I stopped by to get some traveling brochures at the visitor center before walk to the end for a rest and reading.

Wayne showed up with his colleagues and we had a dinner at a curry place nearby. Soon after we all were full, we walked to EROS, a famous high-end hair designing place, where one of the friends would get a haircut (one of Wayne's friends also worked here). The dinner and EROS visit were fun. I left the place, came to lab and biked home. The mask I usually used for biking was lost yesterday (the 6th). I will need to get a new one soon.

Sick days

Activities/Actions:
Slept and slept....


Note and reflections:

After came back from the trip yesterday [วิ่งไม่หยุด: Walk and Train Ride in PingXi], I did not feel good and later had fever. I slept and cope with the fever for most of Friday night, the whole Saturday and Sunday. At the end of Sunday, I felt a bit better (did not have much fever anymore). I went to see a doctor on Monday morning before taking a bus to lab. The doctor said that my tonsil glads were inflammatory as I expected because I had a little sore throat since last Thursday [วิ่งไม่หยุด: the first run after the marathon]. In the evening, Pei-Ling and Kai-Yeh brought two beef buns from a famous store in Kun-Yang for me. This is very appreciated.

It was too bad that I was sick because the weather was nice on Saturday and relatively good on Sunday. :<
