40 Degrees.

U ever had a fever and got SO hot until u feel like u're on fire and about to combust anytime soon?

Lol i never. Until last night. Ever since two days ago i went out and have chakueh, i've had this uneasy feeling in the throat. Throughout the whole yesterday morning this feeling grew, and by the time i reached late afternoon i can feel a small lump in my throat.

I thought it'll go away, but it didn't. In fact, it got worse rapidly with a speed that surprises me. I guess eating a chilli-laden Thai chicken rice helped abit in the lump's growth. Sigh. And then by the time i was packing to go back home at night i already have difficulty swallowing....slight dizziness came along and i start to feel cold...

All the time i'm walking home i feel cold...which is surprising, cos normally it feels hot as u had to sweat on the way back. But i didnt...i even started trembling a little...i thought i was feeling cold becos of the night wind....then i decided to head over to 101 and get myself that limewater my friend had last time which totally soothed his throat...

I didn't order it rightaway though. Instead i went to the stall selling ice and ask what is good to reduce heatiness. The guy suggested honeydew and i agreed. He made a honeydew ice and to my utmost horror it was filled with coconut santan...that isn't going to help my throat!!! @.@

Then i ordered the lime drink....but it was without semboi and is served cold. By the time i had finished half of the ice i was already shivering from the cold. "Uh-oh" i thought. "Eating ice is the wrong idea....." What do i know? All i was thinking at that time is to just get sumting cold to numb the throat....

I didn't realise it actually at that time, but drinking cold stuff worsens the fever. It made my body react to the coldness, that's why i was shivering. To produce heat. This added fire to the already heaty feeling i got, and when i finished it was with utmost difficulty i walked back, trying not to faint, cos i was feeling like it. I couldn't even walk properly, my legs are so weak and joints hurt....

----

So cold...........my teeth was even chattering. Yet i know inside i'm boiling up. Went into my room and straightaway lay down on my bed, covering myself trying to sleep it away. My vision was blurry and my head felt like it was gonna explode. All my joints were hurting at this time. Even my eyes were painful from the overheating. I was on fire!!!

When i woke up suddenly 2hrs later, it was already 1am plus, and my head was burning & dizzy....my whole body feels hot and i was sweating only a little. Dragged myself to the loo and came back in and continue to sleep...woke up again twice in the night for the loo....haha...i drank so much earlier... =.="

Then i woke up around 10sumting this morning. I wasn''t feeling as hot as last night; the heat had reduced. But i still have the cold feeling u get when u're in fever. My eyes was stinging though. So much pain everytime i blink. Even my lump had reduced.....i'm now only left with a very soft voice, painful joints and muscles, especially the legs. Goodness....at least my brain is still safe. I was so sure it'll be sooooo hot that i'll suffer brain damage and became a retard(sorry for the offensive term used).

What a time to fall sick. I've got so many assignments to do but all i want to do now is sleep and sleep and sleep. Fever makes me sleepy...but i know enough time was wasted....i've really got to get the things done...but my head is so heavy......arghh........

Funny, i almost always learn lessons the hard way. I must always go through some sort of physical or emotional pain before i 'get it'. Hmmm i guess only by this way that i will learn? Hmmmm........

Tired....i feel so weak..............................ughhhhhhh.....................
