The Flu

one of the negative effects of being cooped up in a hotel for so long is that you have a weak immune system. my teammates told me to take a walk, but i didnt want to venture out as there were too many unsavoury foreigners lurking around. i first suspected i was going to have flu when, after celebrating at a teh tarik stall past midnight, i felt the first signs of a sore throat. didnt go to the doctor, but i just bought OTC med. worked for awhile, until after i returned from JB. and still i didnt go to the clinic.

and so, after a long arduous fight with flu, my weak immune system finally succumbed to its conqueror. i normally didnt get fever when i'm down with flu, so much so that i had to ask As how it feels like to have a fever. i knew immediately i had fever when i was feeling so cold and i was shivering. then i felt too warm. when i walked it felt like there's a tonne of bricks on my head, and felt like i was going to fall down any minute.

finally this morning i was issued with an MC for the first time of the year, on the 1st day of school. great, huh?
