I’m still battling the flu. Feeling slightly better as I think the fever is gone. This is the second time I’m sick since arriving here late July which is more or less in line with the pattern I experienced when I first moved here. It reminded me an observation I made when I lived in New Zealand that in the 15 months or so that I lived there I was down with flu just once and even then it was quite mild. Nothing like the rather frequent knock-out flus you get in Asia (with Hong Kong being even worse than Singapore). I guess with all the travelling around here one gets exposed to more strains of flu while in isolated NZ where people hardly travel (in comparison) the flu situations is much better.
P.S. One might wonder why I am still trading and working while being sick, well I hardly ever take sick leave either for day jobs or trading unless I can’t raise myself out of bed. The reason being that had I not been working I’d probably be doing the same thing - spending most of my time in front of the screen.
take care man. The virus is attacking me as well.
Well, I just did a count, on average, I am facing the screen around 13 hours a day. How scary.
Thanks Gav. 13 is low for me :) I spend about 16-18 I think. Yes I know, I need a life - or a girlfriend haha
