Flu blue..

Ok, I admit it. It's been a long, long while since I haven't updated my blog. My friend (link to his blog http://www.aetospen.blogspot.com) has been persuasive (in a loving way) to update my blog (and give comments on his blog). For now, all I can manage is to update mine. I'll definitely will comment on his blog for sure, just need to find the right time to do it.

It's been days since I've been sick. I was diagnosed with the infamous FCF disease (an abbreviation of flu, cough and fever). I'm still wondering where I got it in the first place. Last Wednesday, I went to the clinic my parents have always recommended, somewhere in Luyang. I don't really like seeing the docs, but since I'm in need of medical leaves and spending more time at home, I had to gather my courage to step in there. I was really hoping that I don't get to see this one doctor I've seen before, but since his room is just next to the entrance, I can't help but see the signage at his door says 'In'. "Oh man", I murmured silently.

Now, you probably wondered why I dread to see this particular doctor. Well, it wasn't his fault at the most, it's just that he reminded me of how badly I took care of my health. I didn't do that on purpose, you know? The health I mean. Last time I went to see him, he was scolding me of not seeking medical help after weeks of illness. You guess right, it was definitely my fault.

Anyway, back to the story. I went in (unwillingly) and found this doctor, scribbling on some notes then stopped and looked up as I sat next to him. He asked me the typical doctor-patient questions. Then he asked, "Bila lagi sakit?". Oh man, I thought, this was the questions that got me scolded last time. So I answered, "Kemarin". Almost closing my eyes out of fear of being scolded, he continued asking more questions. So I thought, 'phew.. that was close'. So, bladibladibla.. I did my checkup, went out, got my meds (and my 2-day sick leave - YAY!), paid RM35 and left.

Unfortunately, however, my meds ran out and up till now, I'm still having running nose (please don't think this in a literal form). I had to skip church today since I'm not really in good shape of meeting people except those in my house. I just can't wait for my 3-week long holidays on December and that's 2 weeks from now. And still counting.. Guess I have to get a lot rests when I can. For now I just have to tolerate the inability to enjoy having shower and dining. *Sigh*
