'I never wanna be sick ever again.' This, will be my new resolution. To eat healthy, have adequate and enough exercise are what I will set out to do to have a healthy body. Why the sudden attention to a healthy lifestyle? Well, it all began with me being 'severely' sick for the last one week. It first began with minor symptoms like itch of the throat and the ears, which I overlooked. Then, fever began to develop. I pop down panadol thinking that it could bring down the fever. But it got worst. I began to feel nausea and soon everything I ate came out. I vomited whatever I ate and drank and my stomach really feels queasy. Went to 2 doctors and both gave me an injection but it doesn't help at all. The vomiting lasted the whole night and it happens almost hourly, depriving me of sleep. This lasted for 2 nights until I couldn't take it. So, I finally decided to make my way down to A&E at TTSH. There, there took and test the fluids at my nose and throat (I think its for H1N1), took a blood test, urine test, chest X-ray and was put on a drip and observed for 2 hours. In the end after 2 packets of fluids, I was reborn. No longer feeling nausea or at least it was way better than before. It was really a relief when the doctor came by to inform that I could go home and not be warded. To have a needle at your wrist was really uncomfortable. Its not that painful but, there's always a worry that you'll accidentally pull it or what. I was really happy to be able to take that off. I was diagnose with upper respiratory tract infection and I have a borderline palette count. After all these experiences, I resolve never to be sick again. I do not want to be stuck in my bed everyday, vomitting, can't take down any food, let alone the energy to speak. It was indeed a bad experience.

However, throughout this, I am very lucky to have many people to care around me. Of course, this included my parents. I am really sorry to make them worry. Dear who came and kept me company and also waited for me at the hospital, dear's mum and helped me at TTSH, and the friendly doctor and nurses.

Its already the month of june now. One more month and I'm off to Netherlands! Seriously, after the hospital experience plus the many reports of ppl contracting H1N1, I also have this fear in me. In addition, I think I watched too much 'air crash investigation' on SCV that I have this little bit of phobia taking planes now. Its really anything can happen when in the plane. Life is really fragile. One minute you are seated, the other second you may be suck out of the plane. Scarey. PLUS! Recently a plane from French airline crashed. That's not helping lor... I better stop watching anymore air crash investigation!

STARS planner is opened. If nothinng goes wrong, I will only have 1 exam to take next sem and its my final exam in NTU! =) Mon and tues full day in lab, lessons onn wed, thurs, friday morning then lab after that =) not bad.

Practice and more practice!
