It’s 3.12 PM, Tuesday late afternoon. Instead of sitting in my posh mobile office (66th Floor, KLCC) am spending the quiet hot afternoon all alone at home. Relax, I haven’t gotten fired… just that my immune system is currently at a low ebb… not sure if this has gotta do with new working environment (literally hanging mid way in the air!) and perhaps dehydration… or maybe the lil’ piece of raw salmon I took last night???

Waking up by the dutiful mobile phone-cum-alarm clock at 5.45am, found myself relunctantly walked to the washroom and did the morning routines. Oh Jesus Christ, I had a terrible splitting headache and my whole body was and is aching from the neck down to my lower back! Can’t tilt my head even at the slightest degree!! One must be thinking I had done some kinda vigorous exercise the day before… Minutes after prancing in the washroom, decided it wasn’t a good idea to get to work today. What if I fainted in the LRT? It’s a long journey and all, you see… and I wasn’t at my tip-top condition, not at all… Honestly, was feeling really really weak, almost like never before.

It must have been 15 minutes in the washroom that I decided to head straight back to my bed. Lying down was never easier. I could feel my neck close to the breaking point when tried to place it on the pillow. Even slight movement caused pricking pain.. Yes, It is that painful!!

Mum came knocking my door about an hour later. She thought I couldn’t wake up and was hurrying me to get ready and beat the jam. Heard no answers from my room, she opened the door and found me cocooned myself in my blanket. Told her that I didn’t feel like going to work and was feeling really sick. She just reminded me to inform someone in the office and left the room. It was 7 am then.

When I opened my eyes again, it was way past noon time!! I must be really really tired to be able to sleep that long. Pounding headache still persists.. and my neck is still killing me.  For once I thought I’d just spend the rest of the day lying there.

Silently, cursed the stupid bulky laptop… It is so damn heavy, I swear!! I’ve been carrying that stupid thing around yesterday the whole day! It was the longest an hour or so (to and fro), standing (was on heels) and carrying that stupid thing in that sardine-like-train. I think my bones must have been so badly reformed by now!!!

I didn’t wanna use the over-sized bag that comes together with that laptop, you see. You can’t be wearing so smartly and yet being spotted carrying that totally hideous over-sized bag… I felt so embarrassed carrying that around last Friday on the way back from work and it hurt my collar bones to the max! I am not exaggerating but one side of my shoulders actually is bruised!!!! Feel like being shortened by at least an inch, when height is already not on my side!!!

I am dying to find a solution to this nightmare. I really can’t go to work everyday like that. Maybe I should highlight to somone that I urgently need a lighter laptop if they want me to contribute my all to the success of the organization. An X41 will be good enough.. hehe… but of coz… I know I won’t get that. Hmm… or I need a stylish and yet user friendly carrier bag to move around… whichever it is.. dear sweet lord, please please help me to find the solution.

I need to go get lied down a bit… feel like the handicapped today and that sucks :’(
