I killed my phone...

I must be some jinx... :~(

Polyclinic prescribed medicine is good...

Still had my fever early in the morning, couldn't get to sleep the whole night... I was actually the 19th person to register at the clinic, the second in line to see the doctor in room 11 and the 9th person to collect my prescription at the pharmacy...

With all the wardrums sounding in my head, I was extremely glad to see my mei (Younger sister) working that day. One sympathetic look from her was enough to melt all my pains away... That was until I met the cashier... The "nice indian lady" made a fever worn person go out on a quest for small change for the 50 dollar note she was holding...

Anyway, I must have been to sick to argue with her... I walked over to the nearest 7-eleven to buy a pack of sweet just for small change... (Guess what? It must be my "lucky" day, cause the cashier was complaining to me that she doesn't have any small change either... But she gave me the change eventually, and I thanked her for her effort and her "you're so unwelcomed" poker face.)

The trip back to the clinic then back home was draining, and my mood was at it's lowest peak... After some medicine popping and some good RnR, I was raring to go... Is this what people in the olden times refer to as elixers?

Fever Woes...

Can't believe I'm down with fever, especially when I'm just recovering from the cold bug on 8th July... I must be some kind of weakling... *Sob sob*... :~(

Panadol and Panadol Cold didn't seem to work for me... My eyelids felt like they were burning, my head felt heavy, my lungs felt like they could burst from my coughing and I could feel this really thick layer of phlegm lined on the sides of my wind pipe... *Sigh*...

The only thought that travelled through the thick phlegm and into my head was "Is this when I should confess all of my sins and pray for deliverence?"... Perhaps I thought I was die... (Silly me... How naive can I get?... :P)

Death... Is it a relief, or is it just another process of suffering?

The only times when one gets to see all his or her relatives are probably at the following events:-

1. Lunar New Year
2. Weddings and
3. Funerals

Yes, the most unfortunate thing has happened... My parental grandmother has passed away. Everyone who could make it rushed over to see Ah Mah (Grandmother) as fast as they could. Ah Mah had left us peacefully in her sleep and that was a very blessed thing as no one could possibly bare to see her suffer.

Looking at Ah Mah's frail body, thoughts went through my head...
- Was Ah Mah satisfied with her life?
- Has she accomplished everything she wanted to?
- Was there someone she was worried about leaving behind?

When the undertakers came to move Ah Mah's body, she still had a cast on her ankle from her fall recently. Ah Mah was scheduled to have the cast removed sometime this week or next, but now she won't need the cast any more.

For someone who's suffering, is death what they would wish for?
