I fainted today.

It was quite a hilarious incident (as are most things involving yours truly). I was at the WyWy office attending a product launch. This guy was demonstrating the functions of the copier/scanner/printer/fax and halfway through the demo, I realised he had only about a quarter of his middle finger on his left hand. Basically it was a stump. I knew it was game over for me when I started feeling queasy and seeing spots. I struggled to stand there and wriggled my toes to help blood circulation.

After that demo, he led us to another machine and as I walked, I knew I was in for some trouble. So I asked the Purchasing Manager who was with me if it was alright for me to go sit because I was feeling giddy. She said to go ahead. I made my way to the seminar room but just as I got through the door, everything went blank. I literally could not see anything and collapsed into a heap on the ground. Drama mama right?

But no worries, I lost consciousness for just a few seconds. Some knights in shining armour helped me up to a chair and offered me warm water and medicated oil. My Purchasing Manager was so shocked and she came over and started fanning me with a stack of paper. I was, at this point, both giddy and embarrassed. Everyone was asking if I was alright and I told them that I was and asked that they please continue with the demo for the rest of the group. Of course, I also apologised profusely to everyone but they were so sweet and kept making sure that I was ok. I think they were afraid I was going to die because I looked awfully pale.

Anyhow, I couldn't tell them the real reason I fainted so I just attributed it to low blood pressure. When I went back to the hotel and saw the doctor, he laughed at me and said I shouldn't tell others about this or they would laugh at me too. He said there's nothing wrong with me even though I told him this is not the first time something like this has happened. He just pinched my cheek and said I was merely traumatised and was just being silly.

Sheesh.

So that was my day. Oh, and I also had a nice dinner with Jasmine and her friends. It's good meeting new people from time to time and widening my social circle.

Right, I'm off to bed now. Before I faint again.
