Didn't begin my running plan today after all. was (and still am, actually) down with gastric flu. seems like i caught it from my sister, or maybe it's the other way round. there's not been any vomiting yet, and i really hope to keep it that way. fortunately, the worst of it has passed (i think), thanks to several doses of charcoal pills and honey water, not to mention sweating it out on the sofa the entire night. hopefully the situation will improve by tonight. if not, then it's a trip to the doctor's for me.

yesterday was a pretty historic day. despite being sick and generally in much pain, i actually stayed up until about 2am to watch the US presidential inauguration. it was pretty entertaining watching Obama deliver his inaugural address (and trip over his lines while taking the oath!). i must admit, he's a really good speaker. not to the extent of sending chiils up my spine or anything, but he managed to stir up the crowd several times. should be interesting to monitor how the US will develop under his leadership.

decided against getting the HTC phone after all. no doubt it looks great, but it lacks in the user-friendliness department. so, i decided to get the omnia instead. i'm still fiddling around with some of the controls and settings, but it's mostly set up and ready for use. still need to transfer a few more ringtones and perhaps some wallpaper over.

guess i'll leave off here...have to wait for the file transfer to complete. in the meantime, i'm going to whip up more honey water. damn gastric flu bug.

-random thought of the day: Being sick sucks.-
