Getting ill and recovered

十一月十日
突然病倒了。而且是好病那一種。
Primary cause: workload (I don't think my friends had gotten me into this over the weekend)
Secondary cause: cold weather
The workload overstressed me and got me ill. I started coughing in the afternoon, but very soon, I was coughing as if my lungs were about to come out in the evening.

十一月十一日
When I woke up this morning, I was struggling whether I should go to work because of my condition. I also was unable to say a word... kind of pitiful. I ended up going because I had to be AT two teleconferences. In fact, the meetings got canceled. If I had known it in advance, I would have called sick and stayed at home. I felt much better after having congee for lunch (heehee)
Someone had told me: "Refused to be sick." I tried and it worked at school, but it hasn't been working very well lately. 有時侯，我發現自已原來很柔弱。

十一日十二日
I woke up coughing with a dry throat. Perhaps my heat at home was too strong last night. Need to drink more water.

~~Get Well to everyone~~ Stay warm!!!

This is the Lobster Pie I brought from Boston.
$15 for one. It'd better be good.
I brought it to my office 跟同事「分Pie食」

"The Athens of America"

Boston--a place I visited about ten years ago. Today, my friend and I found ourselves wandering in this lovely city with my google maps and list of restaurants.

Our first stop was a brief window shopping on Newbury Street. Instead of being a shopaholic, we had a pear-ginger upsidedown cake at L'Amora Cafe.


This is the facade of the building where one of the Finale restaurants is located.
We ordered Finale Forest, Razzmatazz, [Boston cream cake] and a soup for lunch there.


By the lagoon, a squirrel came to us, standing there patiently. Apparently it was eager to be fed. Soon enough, it got disappointed and walked away.

Without a Lonely Planet in hand, we realized that we had missed The Freedom Trail that we were just walking along towards Faneuil Hall Marketplace. In fact, we indulged ourselves with 2 scoops of Joey's Gelato (green apple and mint chocolate) in Quincy Market. We decided to have an early dinner at Union Oyster House. The rotating miniature of this historic site at the window of the gift shop drew our attention. After a brief shopping, we turned ourselves in to a waitress who later brought us to the Colonial Room for dinner. We simply ordered a Shore Dinner.




After that, we made our move to Boston Chowda where I ordered a small Clam Chowda and a Lobster pie to go.

We took the train from State station to South Station to catch a bus for our return.

是日心情=是日天氣=陰陰沉沉

因為Subway跳站令我遲到，加上她的態度令我氣上心頭，所以一大清早就好嬲。改期？仍是未知之數。居住在城市，Walk it off 可算是最簡單的調節心情方法。走累了，自然氣也消了。洗澡後，再次精神奕奕，心情靚靚地去歎茶。
