my body succumbed to sickness. Hi it's me blogging after a few weeks, and it's my first time blogging through my phone! A phone can never ever replace a desktop computer...
So for the past few weeks, many of my colleagues have been sick. One of my colleagues got it first, and e virus was so virulent and aggressive that at least a handful of people caught it too! As I saw one by one sniffing and falling sick, I wondered how lucky I was, still alright! I shouldn't have thought that way, cos on wednesday, I felt the first signs of sickness.
The last time I was sick was in July, where the great depression happened. Insider stuff bit oh well. When I'm sick, I definitely know it. Everything just feels and smells and tastes different. So I got light headed, got this floating sensation and my nose ran like a tap. So I slept e whole wed when I had to prep for Thursday. Damn right.
Wednesday night was the worst. I woke up every 5 mins, sometimes sweating like crazy, sometimes so cold I put on 2 sweaters. My whole body was aching, especially the back. Thanks mom for e backrub at 5am in e morning. Falling sick feels terrible! I used so many tissues tha my bed looked like a White sheet of cotton balls haha.
So on Thursday, basically I wasn't my best position. One interesting thing was that I pinned my fringe totally away from my face. I realised that I looked so goody two shoes and nerdy maybe.anyway, all didn't go too well. I sounded like a man i couldn't eat and I was floating. Did my sickness affect my performance causing me to screw up? I wish this was the reason, and yet I wish it wasnt too.
So I went to see e doc and it was a funny sight. When e doc was using e stethescope I called my mom in cos I wanted her to be with me. Then e funny old man doctor got angry and said eh why u talking like that how I do e checkup? E scene was so funny cos he looked so flustered. I was e last patient. He thought it was weird to give me mc on weekend, cos he presumed no one worked on weekends. Well, I am part of e select few that do not fall into this category.
So comment question of the day. Whether at school or at work, if ure sick, would u take mc or just hold on? Apart from earning money and not missing any classes, I think this has all to do with responsibility. If ure sick, jolly well stay at home and don't pass it around. If not, it'll only bring more harm. Ure harming other innocent people too. And overall producitivity would be lost. I know, sometimes we think that it's just a minor ailment and we can shrug it off. But u definitely can't rest in peace knowing that uve caused others to suffer now can you? Where's that conscience?
Anyway, I did something I haven't done in a long time. Rented two movies, the time travellers wife and 500 days of summer. Watched it in e wee hours of e morning and managed to catch a glimpse of sunlight before plonking down to the bed with e effect of drowsy medicine. Damn those drowsiness. My sense of Taste is also non existent thanks to those medicine...
I've got mc tomorrow and i think I'd just go back to work. That's not a very good idea, knowing tht I'm still quite week and weekend crowds can b overwhelming. But I feel slightly better and I'm afraid of e overdue work. Besides, I'll feel downright guilty if I had to make someone called back on their rest days...
So after all that effort and hard work and consideration that I put into it, was it all worth it? I got this far biut
not far enough. Also, I hafta make life changing decisions by Monday. Why can't they give me
more time. Everyday I receive letters and prospectus and I'm so bewildered. Which one should I chooooose omg Monday Is coming so so fast.
On a sidenote, I'm really missing school life. It's a safe haven and I miss all the innocence and the camaraderie shared with friends. U can make mistakes in school, but u can't do e same when you're at work. U can act like a baby in school, but u gotta toughen up and open ur eyes when ure working.
It's dinner time now and I have nothing to eat at home and my parents are out! Should I go to eastpoint to get something, or wait untily parents to come home and bring me some take out? Anyway I happened to drive past dominos pizza ytd! First outlet in sg??
Current state of mind : bewildered and swamped with so many decisions to make, living in transition everyday
