Yesterday... with a feverish body, dry nasal passage and a leaking nose, I had no choice but to drag myself out of bed as I have a full day class to conduct. Lately, there is a strong virus spreading around and a few of my colleagues were down. And so, there was nobody else left to take over my class. Class was fun, but by the end of the day, my voice broke and I was croaking like a toad. With a strained voice, I still attempted to tell a joke. The participants laughed and most of them asked me to take care when it was time to go home.
Guiltily, I knew that my throat deterioriated very fast after lunch as I could not resist the nasi ayam with lots of chilli sauce. :P
And today, it was a long 2-hour wait at the clinic. Apparently, a lot of people have been hit by the flu virus. There was one old lady who hogged the doctor for one whole hour. She was only the 2nd patient to see the doctor and guess what, the queue number went up to 20.. I was number 16, so I miserably sat there and spread my flu virus to whoever was waiting in the same clinic. I was so bored that I nearly finished reading the whole shelf of magazines. Then a couple (2 youths barely 18) walked into the clinic with multiple injuries on their arms and knee caught my gaze. Their conversation with the clinic assistants revealed that they just had an accident and fell off the motorbike. Of course, they were given priority queue as it seemed quite serious.

And so I waited again, flipping through the magazines and trying to absorb as much fashion information as possible. Been a while since I had the luxury of sitting down to read magazines.
And I think my throat was so so bad that I almost finished the packet of cough drops while waiting to see the doctor and I barely had any voice to tell the doctor what was wrong with me. He gave me 2 days MC. My very first time getting 2-day MC. Goodness, I must have tortured my throat quite badly yesterday.
And guess what, I'm craving for fried chicken right now. Somehow, I have strange cravings whenever I fall sick. Anyway, I'll remember to take a daily dose of apple to keep the doctor away!

Take care. Hope you recover soon.
Speedy recovery.
Any FRIED is a NO NO when your throat is dry, nose is runny and forehead is warm.
Take more steamed food and fruits.
Take care of health.
