'tis the season to be sick?

The weather gets pretty crazy nowadays. At times, it is scorching hot. Sometimes, it's ridiculously wet. And they are interchangeable. There are a couple of times where one moment when I was driving, it was raining and about 500m after that, I am in the middle of a desert. Dry as one. No wonder my body finally succumbed to the craziness of it.

I started to feel a little under the weather since Sunday's nite. It was raining, I was driving and the air cond was on. Upon reaching my destination, I felt the tip of my nose getting cold and I sorta had that deep voice (of which, I totally adore hehe becuz I reckon it sounds smexiii :P).

Monday came and I kept sneezing throughout the day. It doesn't help neither that I had to project my voice loudly (shouting lah tu heh) in the classroom when the kids get a little too mischievous. I got that cold sweats and that annoying sensation in my head (drowsiness). If I were a battery, I would have been red and in an urgent need of a recharge.

Although I always like to think that I'm superhuman inside, I'm afraid I am not, after all. I woke up around 6.15 am as usual on Tuesday morning, took my super speedy shower and the whatnot. And as I was about to put on the outfit for work, I sorta listened to my body saying to me, "Stop. You need a rest. You'll get worse if you don't". And so I obeyed.

I had a good 2 hrs (or so) of sleep before I went to the clinic. The waiting was looong and I felt so alone :( I don't like going to places such as this alone. I wanted my mom. I felt so grown up having to go to a clinic alone. I felt old.

I had the MC from the guy who was in charge and who was, btw, totally friendly. Very friendly, too bad I was not in the mood for talking to strangers that it got somewhat annoying to me. But because I wanted that MC, I had to be friendly too. Urgh.

Spent most of the day after the visit to the clinic getting my well deserved rest. A colleague txted me that maybe it was the post-sports' day fatigue that had caught up with me. But it had been days. I don't know. Maybe it's the combination of that, and the weather too.

Whatever the cause might be, I'm just glad that I'm feeling better now. I drank lots of fluid and kept myself warm. And I made sure I got my rest. Consumed lots of vitamin C and I avoided cold drink as well as oily food. Pretty well-disciplined, huh? Had to. Because when you are teaching in a classroom, the kids won't care if you are sick or otherwise. OK, there might be a few who would behave better than they normally do but the rest of them, well, kids will be kids. So that's why I gotta make sure that my energy would go right back up on Wednesday.

And when I was back at school this morning, everything went back to normal. Except for the occasional sneezes :P And oh, the voice projection got a wee bit weaker than usual but still, there's still some fierceness to it :D And I got back from school around 5pm *sigh*. Says who being a teacher means getting back early from work? Aiyoh~ (OK, maybe later I can go back a tad early and I can't wait for that moment to come!)

Stay healthy, peeps. And this goes out to this one person who was healthy when I was sick, but am now not really feeling good. Get well soon and please lah don't get sick :( I'm taking back all the kuman from you (and spreading it to other people!).
