headache..flu..


i am bloody sick!

my head was like going to blast into pieces in the morning. i can't focus myself in work. to add on, the discharge from my nose is making me so damn irritated!

i tell myself, its either i go home and rest or i endure. being my usual character, i take up the later option. and i survived through the rest of day! alright i know its not the correct option to choose but i am kinda late in work. oh, excuses!

warnings! skip the next four paragraphs if u don't intend to listen to my crappy-ness!

sometimes i really wonder, where are my 'limitations'? i am not boasting about how 'strong' or how 'stupid' i can be, but there were a few incidents during my national service that really make me question on that. during my field camp in tekong, i realized i was down with fever on the very 1st evening but i didn't report to my sergeant about this. back then, i was telling myself that i cannot be out of the team and being such a weakling. so i secretly took some panadols i brought along and determine my mindset. eventually, i make it till the last day. i knew if others were to be down, they would be most glad to be brought back to company line and sleep in the 'king-koll' bed!

the 2nd incident still happened on the island of tekong. this time i am down with 39+ degree fever. the doctor in medical centre gave me 'att c' status, for those who unaware for this, it means medical leave, which allows one to go home. when i got hold of my status slip, i went to the medic, requesting him to get the doctor to amend his decision and put me in camp to rest instead! of course the medic refuse lah! i bet he must be wondering why on earth would there be such idiots who don't want to go home and choose to stay in the tekong!

the 3rd one occurred when i am operational-ready in changi. there is this particular night, i was tossing left and right the whole night in bunk, feeling damn cold and shivering even though i got my blanket. i ended up going to the mess to sleep(fyi, my bunk is air-conditioned while mess is not), yet unknowing i am already on high fever. the next day, i mounted duty as usual and was doing the 'traffic-controller' post. to add-on, the damn weather was drizzling. by the time, i finished my 5hours of duty, i am already in a bad state. saw the doctor inside my base and my temperature read 40.4 degree! i was damn surprised what's keeping me to move on in such a condition!

well, that's what i can recall at the moment. i believe most who read the above will think i am such a 'ku-ku'. every time fall sick dun wan to report and eventually making myself worse. but i beg the diff. if i were to be taken away from post, someone got to be fill-in to replace me or tasked to do my job. so when i still can endure, why not i stretch myself more?

ok, i know its getting boring here. while i was out for lunch, mediacorp was doing some filming outside chervon house.
