The Vacation

Yes yes...I'm stil alive...thank u!

Dunno where I got it from (muz be the airport!) but I was down wif Viral Fever last wk.  Haven't fallen sick (this kinda viral thingy) for yrs now so it was a lil tough for me. 

Started wif an innocent cough last Tues, which got worst by the hour.  By Wed I started feeling feverish, altho my forehead wasn't hot at all!  Wanted to take off, but had mtgs in the a.m. & p.m. so I dragged myself to work thinking wil go home after the p.m. mtg.  My cough bcame a nuisance in the office.  So after the mtg, b4 I left, I dropped by the my panel doctor.  It was a horrible 1/2hr wait, but luckily I saw the Dr, coz when he checked my temperature, I was running a moderately high fever (38.9deg), so he gave me an MC for Thurs & told me to rest.  Went home, took my medication & slept.  No sore throat, so there wasn't any sign of infection, thus he didn't gimme any antibiotics but gave me Vit-C.

It was a gd rest on Thurs & since I felt slight btr wif the fever down & I had to do something urgent, I went to office near lunch time to do the thing for abt 2hrs & then headed back home to continue my rest.

Unfortunately, on Thurs nite, I started having sore throat & Fri morning, the fever rose agn, so I went to work to complete the thing I went to office to do for abt 2hrs the previous day, took me abt 45mins & then I went to the clinic agn.  I had to wait for 1hr b4 my no. was called (of coz I went back to office to multi-task & get a few things done while waiting for my no.) so by the time I got my MC, it was almost 11am!  Went back hm after getting my antibiotics & lozenges.  Was quite pissed that my boss kept sms-ing me & even calling me...Harlow, I'm on MC remember.  I'm sleeping here...not having fun!!!  Stop disturbing, can?!?!  I juz ignored the call & carried on sleeping!

Horrible wkend.  Confined in my rm.  I was on a self-quarantine mission as the viral fever is contagious.  Amsyar's puzzled as to why I'm ignoring him, thus refuse to leave me alone & kept making cute faces to seduce me.  When I pass by, he'll raise his arms in gesture to carry him. 

Completed my course of antibiotics on Mon morning b4 going to work.  The virus is gone since Mon, but the residue of my cough still lingers.  My voice is still "sexy"...I'm vocal-training now & once I can start singing agn & not croak, I'll consider myself fully recovered!  Virus is cleared for sure.  But it was too strong that 1 by 1 in the hse is getting it.  Amsyar got it.  After 4 days, his fever finally subside yest'day but today he started coughing...so I drove him to clinic b4 going to work this morning.  Hope his cough recovers soon.  Poor him.  Just now I came home, Mom told me she feel feverish, having cough & sore throat.  She also told me Sis having fever (coz I was pissed wif Sis' poor level of attention when looking after Amsyar). Sigh.  The only ones who're still fit is my Dad & Bro.  I refuse to blame myself.  It was meant 2b.  It was not like I mingled wif them.  I was 90% of the time in my rm (sleeping!!).  The only time I'm out of my rm was to bathe or take medication or vomit after every meals!  But it sucks that ppl think I passed the virus to them!!

Ok that was a v. depressing update I'm sure.  Oh ya...special thanks to Tehzeeb & Princess for the get-well-soon comments they posted on my frenster profile.  After not coming online for ages, it cheered me up.  Esp Tehzeeb's latest Tweety picture.  Tweety just have that lite-up-my-life effect on me!!  It really cheered me up & motivated me to really get well.  Coz Tara Rum Pum, Saif-Rani latest movie is releasing tomorrow & I wanna go watch it this wkend...but looks bleak coz I'm still coughing so it's gonna be a nuisance in the theatre.  :-(

Oh well...on a happier note...remember my fluid holiday plan?  It's more solid now.  I've decided on Pulau Pangkor (Ipoh, Perak) for 8-11 Jun. 4D/2N, S$215 inclusive of 2 b/fast, 2 lunch & 2 dinner @ the resort.  Initially was told that we'll be staying at Sea View Hotel...wah lao...looks like East Coast Costa Sands Chalet from outside...from inside reminds me of army barrack or mental asylum.  No rating on the net some more.  Tak boleh tahan!!  So I begged my agent (Hamidah Travel) to look into other options.  Going to an island means we're stuck at the resort, so it is v. impt for me that the resort I stay in is comfortable.  I need at least a 4-star resort, pls.  Finally, they came back wif Teluk Dalam Resort.  Aaahh...that's btr! 4-star.  I heard it's pretty new.  So yeah...I'm now looking forward to my Jun's vacation!!!
