misery loves company.

time really crawls when you're suffering

someone out there must have been too jealous of how happy i've been this holiday, and decided i needed a little misery. no, make that major misery. it started with an innocent sore throat last wednesday, but by thursday afternoon it had escalated into a high fever and a flu, which were terrible. TERRIBLE, i tell you. it came with a headache which not only had your head throbbing as a whole, you could also feel the five different parts of your head that felt like there were screws being driven in. eyes were swollen, nose was both blocked and running (how is that even possible), and all my muscles were aching. even my eyeballs ached. i am not exaggerating. they really did. i spent the night walking to and fro between the kitchen and my bedroom and my bathroom to switch the cool pack for my forehead and to gulp down cups of water and to then pee the water out. i swear the night felt like it would never end. every time i woke up only one hour had passed. when morning came my temperature still hadn't gone down. and for some perverse reason i decided i did not want to see a doctor and take medication and i would conquer this myself. but i ended up popping 7 panadol pills in 2 days -.-"

by some miraculous force my temperature went down to only a slight fever on friday afternoon right before the KMW concert on friday night, so i felt well enough to attend. but after more than 3 hours of fun and excitement (particularly the last part where i screamed ahem like a crazy fangirl for 2ne1 and big bang - yes, even though i had no voice), my throat died a second death and my temperature rose again, and i had to retire to bed with a fever. by saturday night the fever had subsided but i still had the sore throat and flu, and the virus decided to morph into a cough as well.

so now here i am, still trying to recover from that bout of sickness. my throat's still not back to its normal condition, and i still have a rather hoarse, nasal kind of voice that just sounds plain nasty. but i'd still say it's an improvement from last week.

okay this is just a post for me to whine 'cause i haven't been this sick in a long time. and it always takes me forever to recover. sigh. bye. i shall post about the KMW concert soon.
