That time of the year again
I have very sexy voice now. The same low, husky, sexy voice i have 3 to 4 times every year.
Yeah, i have THE FLU again.
Wad the hell? And its the exam period too!!
And dun even ask how i got it unless u wan to hear a string of curses and swearings (yes, i have the vocabulary of a sailor and all the pomp and gusto of a wronged politician when irked, so u might not wan to start me on that in person).
But if u absolutely must noe the gist of it (dun kid yaself, u noe u're aching to find out), i got it from sitting behind a big sized guy in lecture a couple days ago (i've nothing against big sizes, as long as the person in question isn't obscuring the view of half the white board or the cinema screen), who in addition to being big and moving around a lot, STANK TO HIGH HEAVENS WITH HIS CHEAP COLOGNE!!!
I suffered in excruciating silence for 3 hours ("Why dun change seats?", my mum asked, the lecture hall was packed to the brim, or why wud i be sitting behind Atilla the Hun?), first choking on the fumes and moving as far back as physically possible from him in the lecture chairs, then discreetly leaning on my hand and covering my nose with my fingers, then sneezing but still only demurely fanning the air in front of me, then, already suffering from a sorethroat and runny nose, opting to hold my breath and breathe through my mouth instead, and when that still din block out the fumes, i finally switched to pinching my nose shut and coughing audibly in the hopes that Atilla will stop fidgetting around at least and stop spreading his pungent odour about.
By breaktime midway through the lecture, my nose was already runny and my throat so sore and parched no amount of water or tea could prevent me from having the sorethroat i knew was developing.
No extra seats available when i scouted round during break, so when i retuned to the same Seat of Torture behind him when lecture resumed, i was already half way through my second pack of tissues and ready to kick the fellow and bruise him where the sun dun shine.
Pls lor, if u have BO or watever, please BATHE instead of trying to cover it up with CHEAP PERFUME can?? n at least if u really wan to use something to cover up the smell, some mild deodorant will do. And if u absolutely have to use perfumes, can u NOT USE CHEAP IMMITATION ONES?!! And if u absolutely, absolutely have to use ya cheap, no-good perfume, CAN U AT LEAST USE IT SPARINGLY so that pple sixteen rows and twenty-seven aisles away will not be able to smell ya CHEAP PERFUME??!!
And a result of that three-hours lecture in the Seat of Hell is this big flu that had culminated from the very bad sorethroat and runny nose i had when i left the lecture. GDI!!!
My sorethoats, depending on how bad it is and hows the weather like at that period and how well i can physically take care of it, will nearly always end up in a very bad bout of flu. Like two out of three times. And when i mean very bad, i mean the Patient-Zero kind, the kind that is so bad and so strong that if lucky, i'll recover from in 6weeks minimum, and if unlucky, very unlucky, half the class, our subject teachers, their immediate family and frens will still be taking MCs at home 6 weeks later. At least, that was wat happened during JC, when first my Econs, then Lit, then followed by both my Human and Physical Geog teachers and my form teacher got it from me or the class in general. (Ok, cue *guilt*)
Funnily enough, it is the frens who spend the most time with me who usually escaped the clutches of this quater-annually bad bout of flus, and those who contracted it directly from me, had to my recollection, spent no more than 10 mins alone with me (my Econs teacher, Ms Lai, whom i sat with and discussed some class work with in the timespan of one very short afternoon and whom later had taken 2-3 days MC bedridden at home and returned to school with laryngitis for a couple of days - cue *guilt* =( , i liked that teacher, and one of my Lit teachers, Anan, who somehow or other got it from me during one of the many fault-findings he had with me - HAHA! cue *snide laughter*). The frens or classmates i had spent the most time with in sec sch and JC were ironically usually left out of the classroom epidemic despite sharing close contact and breathing air no further than 10 inches apart from me most of the day (Xiangling, Hanxiang, Ian, the sec sch gang and JC clique). So wat does this shows? That it definitely pays to be Vivis' friends.
Hahaha, no lar. Probably, proximity builds immunity and thats why the pple who spends the longest time with me on a day to day basis hardly ever catch my cold even though they're exposed to every flu bout every year for several years (though not including my family, who sadly, are usually not spared from successive cases of either mild sniffles or the same heavy, antibiotic-swallowing colds).
But this being exam period, this bout of flu has really come at a wrong time. I cant afford to have med, get drowsy, fall asleep and not study, and i cant afford to not have med and not recover from it before my papers start.
Will visit the polyclinic for antibiotics tml. If only antibiotics can be bought over the counter. It'll save me the many quarter-annually trips to the doctor and the money spent on consultations on top of the med.
