met a girl and her "mother" ( i think ) on sunday, in a lift.
during the ride, the mother was saying something about riverlife church and four people getting sick.
when they exited the lift, both of them went straight to an ambulance.
it was grey in colour.
it was a very eyebrow raising incident.
and since i just came back the previous day, i did not really understood what she said.
till i heard the news on the radio later that the church was one of two clusters with swine flu locally.
!!
good thing the girl was quiet the whole time she was in the lift,
despite her mothers incessant chattering.
then again if the "mother" is really her mother,
she would most probaly catch it,
and she could have done all the spreading of the virus herself when she open and close her mouth.
!!
but even before that incident,
when i woke up on sunday morning i had a bloody headache and felt a little warm.
temp was 37.1
took 2 panadols throughout the day.
but the temp still remained the same.
had the same bloody headache throughout the day too.
i know its not really fever but this reading comes from a thermometer that takes my average temp to be 35.5 to 36.0 degress.
and i have most of the other symptons since then.
blocked nose, muscle aches, headache, cough
but i have most of these any other day -.-
there were also three weird stuff that kinda happened to my body,
though they are slightly ( if not very, but still... ) irrelevant if i were to have "scary fly"
>>> on tuesday had some kind of itchy rash around both eyes.
lasted approx 1 hour?
>>> and thursday..
when i was biting a cracker thing.
my lower jaw pushed it upwards and into a gap between a new adult teeth and a milk teeth ( at the upper row of teeth )
felt numbingly weird.
used my finger to touch around the area and there was blood.
but i managed to flick the cracker from that "hole" it was stuck there with my tongue after a few frustrating minutes.
>>> and the nights following and including monday's night, after i sleep,
i will wake up in the middle of the night EXATCLY ONCE,
( wake up as in being conscious, knowing i am mentally awake, though i purposefully keep my eyes shut )
then go back to sleep peacefully.
though it was a little different today ( thurday's night )
cause the average length of the waking up thing is about 5-10 minutes ( estimate )
but this was at least 30min - 1hr.
funny how i am sharing all these here...
though the point is i know something is wrong with my body.
esp when i exert myself, i will feel warm and get a little headache.
though i hope that its just dehydration...
but on the whole so far, i am rather certain that i don't have "scary fly".
though lets see..
my father comes back from thailand on next tuesday/wednesday.
and then he will leave for japan.
both are on the list of infected countries, according to MOH.
whew.
but honestly, i feel "scary fly" is too over-rated ( i.e. not that deadly ).
that and the fact that it is like a disaster is somewhat a good thing.
cause you see, disasters simply make humans more united.
or at least it brings out the selfish survival instinct of people of not wanting to be affected.
but to really protect themselves, they must also make sure the people they surround themselves with don't have it too.
this results in more care and concern for people among them.
then there is another type of disaster that brings people together.
for example, Michael Jackson dying.
but this is different.
because instead of appealing to the survival instinct of the brain in people.
it appeals to the heart instead.
songs that i really like and will remember have to be 1) classic 2) powerful 3) beautiful 4) clever
unfortunatetly, most songs today don't really fall in either.
but most of what i heard from him is.
his death is and will be a very influential one.
and just before i stop,
the last third of the school term is coming and its going to be hell.
i don't think i am very prepared also. to say the least.
and AYG is starting to hit full swing.
s'pore atheletes good luck!
have a good night everyone.
Do you remember
Back in the spring
Every morning birds would sing
Do you remember
Those special times
They'll just go on and on
In the back of my mind
