I'm still here!

Just.. sick. Tonsil infection. Again.

This whole week (probably with the exception of today) I went to school with fever, except on Monday when I took MC. The feeling as horrible, of course. Fever. High one too. It probably fluctuated slightly between 38.4 degrees C, which was when the doctor took the temperature, and maybe 37.9 degrees C, which I anyhow estimated. Anyway I felt like I was living in a dream these few days. The fever had probably engulfed half of my senses. After I came back home, I'd wash up, take medicine and sleep till the next morning where I wake up for school feeling feverish. While I laid down I thought to myself 'How did I actually manage to survive today' and then try to sleep. Why 'try' to sleep, and not actually sleep? Because I felt really really cold (cos of the fever) and had to cover myself up with the blanket and still feel cold. But I cannot cover myself fully or I will choke myself in my own carbon dioxide and that is bad. And you get the idea. Cold and shiver myself to sleep. That's...
The fever got worse last night. The heat from myself was suffocating. Really. I was, as usual, wrapping myself in blanket and wore double layers and wanted to sweat the fever out (which is what we should do anyway) but before I could sweat it out the heat was really getting to me. Really really stuffy, suffocating. So I got my father to get an ice pack and I kicked away the blanket. If I had risked it and just waited I would have probably burnt myself out. Oh I took the antibiotic pills last night after that near-burnt experience and they really helped a lot. I took them once on Monday, but they lower your immune system right, cos they help your body fight the bacteria/virus instead of allowing your body to fight against it, and so stopped taking them. Till Thursday (yesterday) when the fever got really bad and I took the antibiotics and realised my immune system is not strong enough yet to fight the infection and now I'm back to the antibiotics till I recover. Good choice, apparently, cos I'm not feeling as bad as the previous few days. Still having fever, but not as serious. The tonsil infection, of course, is still there.
But yea, getting well soon.

Oh when I'm down with this I'll always crave for hot and spicy stuff, probably because I cannot take hot and spicy stuff with that infection, obviously.
I want McD's shaker fries, tom yam soup. Chilli, basically. And other fried greasy stuff.
Drinking lots of water is not a problem for me because I do that. I drink. A lot. Of. Water. But not when I'm down with said infection, cos it will make me nauseous. Which is much of an irony, because you need loads of water when you're sick, especially with fever but I will take lesser water cos I know if I take more I'll vomit. (I know. I've tried. Many times)
I remembered when I'm down with said infection and I feel like vomiting cos my mouth came into contact with some water and the want-to-vomit-don't-want-to-vomit feeling is horrible so I just gulped down several mouthfuls of water and vomited. Ah bad memories.

Anyway term break is here! Besides the important fact that there are tons and tons of schoolwork and revision to be done in just 2 weeks, there're other things to look forward too yes:
- XJ's birthday
- Christmas party (with relatives, as usual)
- Someone to come finish the leftover food from the party (HAHAHA kidding :D)
- My Birthday
Heh how was that enlarged. Anyway, 27th December is my birthday in case you guys didn't know! Ha. Ha. Ha.

And I have to write about this: Wednesday's POM presentation.
I think we did really well! The report was fully researched and the information given was good and sufficient. The presentation is short and neat and covered everything we needed to. In the eyes of a CLS student of course (since my whole group is all CLS people). But place it in the eyes of a Business lecturer and she tells you an entirely different story. Anyway I still think we did well and I am thankful that the group was united and worked well and did well, unlike some other group last last week whose presentation and report flopped. Scary. Perlyn Sim even had a 'talk' with them. Not laughing that the group but it reminds us to keep on topic. But the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf one was absurd. Who's the person they were researching on? They kept talking about how Coffee Bean handles situations well and practically introduced how their shifts are suppose to work. Coffee Bean propaganda. I fear Coffee Bean now. Wait. I don't.

Today's 3 hour break was finally a rather free one (with no more reports/presentations to rush) so the no-GEMS-on-Friday people headed to Jurong Point (Hahaha I typed JP at first. No I should not use abbreviations meant for the West Side people. Hehe) and was in time to catch Tom & Jerry Live. Well laughed our heads off and went back to school for MIP.
After school we booked a room in the library for no apparent reason and just chilled there. Since it is the last day of the term, we managed to extend the room's booking time twice. That's like a miracle nowadays. We were playing some click clue solve games on the comp which frankly, are interesting, but creepy too because you don't know what will happen next. I've played such games before and it still creeps me out. Nyah hah lame.

And I still managed to buy this week's 8Days. Thought I would have no more strength to even lift it anymore. Yea due to said infection I ate very little cos I got no appetite. Serious. I don't starve myself one. So if you want to lose weight go get tonsil infection. Kidding. Don't get it, it's a terrible thing. Speaking of publications, I missed a few days of The New Paper, the source which I get my news from, and The Straits Times Life!, the comics one. Oh wait, I did read the Life! section. Hahahaha.

Oh this week was really really really unproductive. Because of that said infection, everyday after school (with the exception of today) I will go to sleep. I have to because I was feeling drowsy and horrible. Hm, maybe I should stop raking up the memories of it.

But I'm glad that now, at least, I won't be frozen by the mere atmospheric temperature. Yes, such incidents always make me cherish health. If you're healthy, you're happy.
