In Mr Bean's 1st movie, there's a song called "Yesterday" and it has a verse that goes...
Suddenly... I'm not half the man I used to be....
In my case for the past couple of days, the lyrics should go:
Suddenly.... I'm having a high fever (never mind that it doesn't go with the tune.. Heh)
This sudden attack of the virus has really caught me by surprise. It was around 2230, tuesday night, was logging off the pc, and getting ready for bed. I remembered that night was rather hot and humid, but imagine I was shivering cold, to the extend that I didn't on the fan and was covering myself with my comforter!
My mom got a shock when she came back around 2320. Its off to the clinic that opens till midnight. Lucky not many people fall sick in the middle of the night. I was wearing my sec school jacket, and still shivering...
The doc examine me, and say the fever most likely is caused by my sore throat, which I absolutely didn't feel any pain in the throat till later that night, when I reach home.
Well, when the virus attack, you'll never know when its your turn.
It cost me SGD 58 and was given 2 days MC. So whole of the 2 days, I've been groggy and sleepy. Eat, take medicine, sleep, and the cycle goes on.
I would say my fever has subside, but now I'm having the worst case of cough and sore throat ever! Just open my mouth a bit only, sure cough. And together with sore throat, coughing sure is a painful action. And currently, as I'm typing out this post, I've a towel wrapped around my neck, acting like a shawl. At least it helps a bit.
So many people falling sick around me... I think its my colleague who passed it to me~
Hope I'll recover soon and crossing my fingers that it's not Dengue Fever!
