im feeling much better now(:

i have been sick the past few days. It got reallyreally bad on tuesday evening. I was on the mrt train with my colleague and was deciding whether or not to go to school since i wasnt feeling well. and after my colleague alighted, things took for the worse. i almost fainted on the mrt. my whole vision was blurred and it was like a semi-blackout. kinda scary. i immediately alighted at the next stop and sat at the bench at the station for a longlong time till i felt i had the strength to walk again. cabbed home from newton mrt. when i reached home, i immediately knocked out on the sofa. didnt have energy. after resting for awhile, my parents brought me to the clinic. i felt bad there too. there were so many sick people around and the queue was awfully long. i really think that being a doctor is an extremely noble profession because you get to alleviate the pain of so many people and make them feel much better. i thought i was pretty sick, but compared to the little girl who was vomitting every few minutes, i was like. omg. ouch. if i felt terrible horrible horrible, she must have felt ten times worse. in any case, the diagnosis was that i got a viral infection in the intestines which caused me to have a mix of fever, runny nose, headache and a very bad case of diarrhoea. having severe diarrhoea is really not a joke. i really felt like dying in the toilet. i didnt say it earlier, but i actually went to the toilet 7 times on monday and a lot of times on tuesday. thank goodness it wasnt so bad when i was at work. it was mostly after or before work when i had diarrhoea. [thats why its a viral infection. it comes and goes and the symptoms will subside and come back again] oops sorry i know that was quite gross. =/
the doctor gave me an mc for the next day. didnt go to work on wednesday. didnt really sleep well the whole of tuesday night either. my head was spinning, my stomach was aching, and i had diarrhoea in the middle of the night. i half-slept for most of wednesday at home, only waking up when i had to take medication or when i had diarrhoea.
for the first time in my life, i didnt eat for 33hours (noon on tuesday till 9 plus on wed night) except drink honey water and plain water! zomg. even i was surprised. maybe i didnt wanna eat because if i didnt eat, i wouldnt have diarrhoea. makes sense right? anyway, i wasnt feeling that bad on wed night. but there was still the "heavy" feeling in the head and nausea.

woke up this morning (thursday). still didnt feel quite well, but headed to work anyway. after all, its only my first week of work and i shouldnt be taking sick leave. today was a busybusy day. there was a lot of work to complete and we were one man down. another guy fell sick too. rawrr. one thing i dont like about the office environment is the proximity of the people and lack of fresh air. The whole project team is sick in varying degrees. quite terrible huh? hope all of us will get well soon before "D-day" comes. As i was saying, there were cartons of boxes to be done. although i was feeling feverish, there was no time to be sick! everyone was busy doing their work. thank goodness for the much needed lunchtime break. the other poor souls in the neighbour department were worse off. they were so busy they didnt even have time to go for lunch. i still think my colleagues are a jovial bunch. they make me laugh the whole day! veryveryveryvery funny! ((((:

busy day at work tmr again.
