The Chinese Fortune stated that this year I would be strike by the illness star. The least did I expect it to come so soon.
In the early morning of Sunday, I got this hunger pain. So got up to cook some instand noodles and cover the hunger and went back to sleep. Later, the pain become stronger. Ok... went to see doctor in the morning.. got a jab... took medicine.. until end of the day.. the pain didn't go away. Went to check myself into the hospital at Tan Tock Seng. Got another two more jab. Contributed some blood to be tested, and was on drip for two hours. Just after the jab was injected to me I immediately show some allergy reaction with rashes. However, it just clear up after half an hour or so.
For the next one week, no oily food, on horrible medication to reduce gas and have to vomit feeling. Still, like that is not enough, the pain of gastric is draining me dry until my legs are even too weak to walk to work nor climb up the stairs. I struggled for the whole week. Plus towards end of the week, I strain my neck, got backaches all over and was having flu and also mences came at this time. You see .. how can I not be drained from all this illness all at the same time?

Why Catholics eat fish on Friday
As a Catholic, I always try to follow the ways of a Catholic like eating fish on Friday. I don't know the real reason behind it but I know is a penace we have to pay back. So I just so call follow blindly with tradition.
Just the other day, I was taking lunch with my Catholic colleague and he started to talk about what is the reason behind it. So got me into this adventure to find the truth.
Well... this is what I found
=================
Christians have fasted (gone without food) and abstained (gone without certain foods, especially meat) since the beginning. The Book of GenesisNoun 1. Book of Genesis - the first book of the Old Testament: tells of Creation; Adam and Eve; the Fall of Man; Cain and Abel; Noah and the flood; God's covenant with Abraham; Abraham and Isaac; Jacob and Esau; Joseph and his brothers
Genesis teaches that all the plants and animals Plants and Animals are a Canadian indie-rock band from Montreal, comprised of guitarist-vocalists Warren Spicer and Nic Basque, and drummer-vocalist Matthew Woodley.[1] They are signed to Secret City Records.
that God created and entrusted to human beings are good, especially those given to us as food (Genesis 1:29). Jesus taught that nothing that a person eats makes him or her evil (Mark 7:18). So why then do Christians fast and abstain?
What then is the significance of abstaining from meat? And why eat fish? The tradition suggests a number of reasons. Some say that forgoing meat was forgoing a luxury, as meat was relatively rare for most people. This certainly would have been true in the ancient Mediterranean world in late winter-our time of Lent. Today this hardly seems true, since seafood is the luxury and hamburger costs pennies. And besides, the tradition is to abstain fromabstain from
verb refrain from, avoid, decline, give up, stop, refuse, cease, do without, shun, renounce, eschew, leave off, keep from, forgo, withhold from, forbear, desist from, deny yourself, kick (
meat, not necessarily to eat fish. Eating vegetables suffices.
The practice of eating fish is related to the day we typically abstain from meat: Friday. This is the day that Christ died, so abstaining from the shedding (and consuming) of blood seems appropriate. Friday, the sixth day, was also the day that God created animals, so abstaining from meat is a symbolic "stay of execution" for cows, pigs, and sheep--just as the cross saves us from eternal death.
