alone at home on a sunday morning


now..when did that ever happen?
it all started from yesterday..


went back to school for geog lesson still feeling fine
sat in an insanely cold spot in the ava room
actually the whole room was disgustingly cold
sat there freezing and watching my nails go purple[something that never happened before]
started feeling a little strange..body temperature a bit warm


ended our mass tutorial at about 1130
went to j8 to meet agnes for lunch as we prearranged
ate at pasta mania sharing each other's food
had a headache somewhere along the way
and..i still went shopping with her for a little while!


went home at about 2
had 1 hour to get ready for crosslink
decided to check if i was running a fever - i only get headaches when i am down with fever
and it was about 39 degrees high!
never in my 18 years did i reach that high a temperature..i usually stop before 38 degrees..
decieded to skip crosslink..made all my necessary smses
called my mom up to tell her and concussed for the afternoon
the sad thing about me is that i recently developed an allergy towards panadol[i can just hear you say "of all thing!" yep..its sad]
so..i could only hope to sleep the fever off..


younger sis came back from malaysia at about 530
she came up to talk to me for a little while and then left me alone to continue sleeping
poor her had to answer every frantic call that my mom made..not all were about me actually
finally woke up at about 630..realised that my temperature didnt go down
now..thats bad..


had dinner with esther at home..we were supposed to go out to eat but decided against it
what kind of dinner can you whip up with 2 pple at home?
o well..our specialty has to be eggs with cheese which was what we had:)


huddled up in my study room's sofa after that
with my sis fulfilling my every whim and fancy
having slept so much earlier..i was kinda talkative for someone so sick[ok..no relation]


my parents came back at about 930
took me to mount alvernia's 24 hour clinic
the place was kinda crowded
went to room 1 for the basic things..asking you what's wrong, taking of temperature and bp...
cos i had fever..i was sent to room 8..something like an isolation room:(


doctor saw me about 15 mins later
for some reason he thought i couldnt speak english
i think he couldnt exactly tell what was wrong with me..i couldnt too for the matter
he ordered a blood test to be done to check for dengue
a nurse came to do it..i thought it was those 'prick you finger thingy' only
i was wrong..
they needed more blood then that..!
she had a hard time finding my vein at first..
it was kinda fun watching the whole process in a sadistic sense
seeing the blood fill up the syringe and everything
and i realised that i am braver than my dad:) he wouldnt had dared to watch
was told that i had to wait 30 to 45 mins for the results..


results came out..and i dun have dengue[yet..the doctor cautioned]! phew..
had a bacterial cum viral infection..dun ask me what it is cos i have no idea
but apparently i am anemic?!
or suffering from a certain blood disorder?!
my haemoglobin level is 9.9 compared to the baseline of 11.5
i am flabbergasted
for one thing..i am hardly ever pale and neither do i faint..
i survived 4 years of npcc for goodness sake
anyway..the doctor wants me to go back for more blood tests..pain..
sigh..
but if its anything..let it be anemia
the bill came up to $92.15! cos of a $20 additional surcharge for the blood test!


so yeah..the dramatic story of why i am home alone on a sunday morning..
