I am sick now since Sunday. I have wasted my weekend and two school days because of sickness, sigh. Luckily all the tests were over.
On last Saturday afternoon after the School Open House, I started feeling unwell and drowsy. I thought I was just too tired so I went back to the hostel immediately after the event to have my lunch and shower. After that I did some revision and surfing the net. Due to the tiredness, I went for a nap for around 1 hour.
After the nap, I felt a little better and thought it was not a big deal, so I decided to play badminton with my sister and some of my friends in Kah Kee Hall after dinner. After playing for a while, I started to feel tired which was very abnormal as I do not get tired so fast.
However I ignored it and kept on playing until I felt really tired and cannot take it anymore. I thought that I would be alright after taking a rest so I returned to Boarding School and bathe. After that bath, I felt worse, and I don’t know how to describe it. Therefore I decided to sleep earlier. Unfortunately, my stomach was playing drum then and does not allow me to go to bed immediately. So, I had some biscuits to fill up my stomach before I go to sleep.
The next day, I woke up late because I still felt very tired. After having my breakfast, I checked my temperature and was shocked as my temperature was 37.5 Celsius which indicates a fever. I then contacted my parents and told them about it. They asked me to contact my sister and asked her to company me to see a doctor. As it was Sunday, most of the clinics were not open. Since my temperature was remained at 37.5 Celsius, so my parents just advised me to go back to bed to get more rest and at the same times, asked me to drink more water. I went for a nap from 2 pm to 4pm.Sad to say that the nap did not help and my temperature shot up to 38.9 Celsius. It is a bad fever. Without any hesitation, I called my parents again. At that time, my mum was really worried and tried to contact my sister again but could not get in touch with her.
So, they contacted one of my seniors who taught me Mathematic last time. He is very helpful and willing to bring me to clinic. He checked with his friend who had a list of clinic's working hours and the address of the clinic. We had to wait for 1 hour and 20 minutes at the clinic because the queue was very long. The weather must be really bad that a lot of people get sick.
My temperature was 39.3 when the doctor checked again. According to him, it was due to virus infection. He prescribed fever, flu and cough medicine to me and gave me two days medical leave.
Even though sometimes I wish I can sleep for a longer hour and no need to wake up before 7am as well as no need to go to school, but I think I have changed my mind. It is better to be with all my friends in school than be alone in the room and boarding school when others are in school. I hope I will get well soon and go back to school again. I missed all my friends.
