Remember that aching jaw of mine? Well, it had gone on for almost two weeks now and yesterday morning, it was bad enough to bring on a heavy thudding head in the morning. So I decided to take the day off and sleep in a little, reply some emails that had been sitting around, and the go see a doctor and see if I am coming up with mumps. I do not want to be down with any illness prior to starting my new job. I have wasted enough time as it is, serving my notice at the current and soon-to-be-ex workplace.

Anyway, saw the doctor yesterday and he said I was very stiff in my shoulders and neck too and that throbbing jaw is due to muscle spasms, brought on mostly because of stress, generally work stress for most people. So I giggled and told him that I have been pretty laxed at work the past month waiting to end my contract and start my new job, so what stress?! He then concluded that it must have been the accumulated stress venting out now. Prescribed some muscle relaxants for me and told me to take painkillers when it gets too painful to bear.

Just this evening, I told my parents what the doctor said yesterday and my father snorted. Then he said it must be because I am 'heaty'. Haha. Now I know many people who will snort at THAT as well. 'What do you mean heaty? Are you burning up and out? So what happens when you are cool instead' Haha, ok I get your dig at me. So anyway, after dinner at the hawker's with my parents I came home, got showered and went down to my mum and asked her to massage my sore shoulders a little. Half an hour later I tried opening my mouth a bit and hey! it does not hurt as much anymore. I told my mum to go on for a while more and I could feel my shoulders loosening up more and my jaw hurting less.

Ha. So much for doctors and fathers. Mummy knows best. Yeah. *v-sign up*

Today, or rather last night, I made two of my cheesecakes - one lemon flavoured and the other strawberry-covered, and brought it to work today. Everyone loved it. The accountant was remarking:'note I said it was 'good', not just 'not bad''. Haha, ok noted. Thank you for enjoying my cakes so much. Most loved the strawberry-covered one, although it was the first time I had done it and I did not trial it on my family before. Hehe, guess the fragrance of the strawberries really enhanced the flavour of the cake.

My soon-to-be boss called me today, turned out that we will be participating in a trade exhibition towards the end of the month and he wanted me to be involved. Emailed me the correspondence between him and the other relevant parties so as to give me an idea and 'feel' of what is happening. Well, I have been trying to read up a bit on the services and nature of my new work industry and job nature. It will not be easy, but it sure is challenging.

Waiting in anticipation and trepidation. Hee.
