Of Ailments and Diseses..

Only the fifth day of March and here I am beseiged by numerous ailment; the uncontrollable hot-then-cold fever, the TB-patient-like cough, the now-you-see-it-now-you-don't wax-caked eyes, the wanna-be-ulcer-infested throat and the I-exist-less-than 24h patchy, red, itchy rashes.

The worst was the former; one minute I was cleaning up my kitchen, fit as a fiddle, and the next thing I knew, I was lying on my sofa, wrapped up in comforter, shivering from an unbearable coldness and yet, my temperature zooming sky high!

But then again, the rashes can be a tough competitor too! I was recovering from the throat infection (which I believe is graciously passed to me by PinkMonkie), so still under medication, I had dinner with PurringFeline, P.H.Y.S.I.C.S and Queen Laneige (PinkMonkie on MC. Heehee..) at Fish & Co. And voila, I started scratching like some mad monkey (pardon me, PinkMonkie) and the next thing I knew when I went to the toilet, my whole face and body were red! Swollen.. patchy.. itchy.. red rashes! Of course I went berserk; I have to meet some biological guardians of my Goonies the next day and I can't afford to look like one disease-infested freak! The three of them were sympathetic, with PurringFeline kept forcing me to drink water to flush out the toxic from my system. I scratched all the way home and when I got home and looked at myself.. shudder! I leave that to you to imagine. But Allah is merciful and the next day when I woke up, the rashes were gone! Except for some which were at my feet. By the time I had strained my voice talking for about more than 2 hours non-stop with these biological guardians, the rashes were gone; the only discomfort was my aching throat, telling its master JUST SHUT UP! I'M STRAINING HERE!!!

Today, I'm still alive and breathing (not even kicking.. sigh..) but I don't know how much more of these ailments I can take. I'm only 29 and yet, these diseases seem to have an affinity with me. I have the highest MC rate so far (5, anybody can beat me at that?) and it's only March. I wonder if it is a sign..
