Sick of this and that.
I came down with flu on Labour Day. The next day, Friday, I almost didn't want to come to work but I did. So the whole day I suffered with flu and during mid-day, I got such a horrible abdominal pain that I hid in the toilet for a few long minutes. It's not the want to pass motion kind of pain. More like pins and needles. My nose tap was on the whole day.
When I got home, I collapsed on my bed. I took a Piriton in the evening and then collapsed into bed again. At night, I seriously couldn't take it anymore. So I searched my medicine cupboard for other means of helping with my flu. Found this Lemsip thing for cold and flu. It's powder in sachets to make it into a hot drink. I thought it was going to be bitter so I added 3 levelled teaspoonful of sugar. Super sweet sia! But I forced myself to drink. Drank half then couldn't take it already. I don't want to get diabetes.
Dragged myself to iron my uniform and pack my bag for today. And then went to bed thinking how to get out of my driving lesson today. When I fell asleep I was half expecting to get an MC the next day, skip work and cancel my driving lesson. But when I woke up, I was surprised at how good I felt. Not totally well, but much better than the day before. Before leaving for work, I thought of taking another dose of the Lemsip drink. Made it, while taking the first few sips, I read the back of the sachet. Got a surprise when I saw that it contained 1000mg paracetamol. I know by taking another dose of this drink will not take me to the toxic level but I became super cautious and threw away my drink. Plus I can't remember what time I took my last dose. So, off to work.
And driving lesson.
I hate driving!! I don't think I can pass! Annoying like hell sia. I should have taken Auto istead of Manual. Like who cares if I can't drive Manual in the end? Who said I will have to drive a manual car? Irritating. It's not as if there isn't any nice Auto car out there. Bleahx! Stupid la. I have another lesson tomorrow morning. I'm seriously dragging myself to driving lessons sia.

By the way, we three were sick on Friday. Nad had the sniffles and one slightly swollen eye, I had the 3 day flu and soon to have sore throat/cough and Fiza had fever, muscle ache and the sniffles. Because of her fever she got to go home earlier.
