It's a rainy day. So rainy it's been raining the whole day already.
Such a nice day to just snuggle in bed and sleep away.


This post is a continuation of the tons of stuff i have yet to blog about.






Monday, 3rd Dec 2007.
(Possibly one of the most significant days for quite some time. Though this significance will be explored further in a separate post.)



I woke up, and felt a slight sore in my throat.

"NO~!!!" This can't be happening to me! Not on a day and at a time like this! I made a cup of hot honey water, drank it, and rushed off for an event at raffles convention center.

The function room was well air-conditioned. So well that it's so cold. Too cold for that matter. I didn't have my shawl with me, nor anything to keep me warm, and so i was left shivering throughout the event.

Lunch at subway. Strange lack of appetite. Couldn't even finish the 6-inch sub, let alone the two cookies. Shivering too.

Evening came. Had a meeting. It was outdoors. But i was still shivering. I was feverish then. I could feel it. The heat, the coldness, the heat.

After the meeting i went straight home, covered myself well with my blankets and slept. The sleep seemed to last forever. I had a nightmare, and a series of misc. dreams. I thought it was 4am already. I still had my make-up and contact lens on.

My mum came in, and i asked for panadols and some water. I realized it's only 1230am. I popped the pills, washed up, made sandwiches and ate them, went online and offline, and lastly back into bed.

A few hours later, i could feel the heat dispersing. Fever was subsiding. I start to break out in cold sweats. Continue sleeping.

I woke up the next day with some cold sweats, but generally recovered. A slight remnant of sore throat though.





It was one of the longest days i've ever experienced. I'm not blogging this for self-pity. (I totally detest self-pity, although i'm guilty of whining once in a while.) I quite enjoy being sick actually. It reminds me of how human i am. How humans are, at their core, weak.


I'm blogging this just because it's what i've gone through, hence it deserves a spot in my blog.



And life still goes on.
