The Battle with the Flu Bug - It's Not Good to be on the Losing Side...

It all started innocently with my throat being a bit itchy… Immediately pop in a lozenges and went to zzz, and lo and behold, I was well the next day…

The cycle repeated twice before my body finally decided to succumb to the flu bug. I went to work and blew my nose, sneezed and coughed the whole day. Boss asked me to go home if I really felt unwell, but I told her I could manage and refused to budge.

Went to see a doc in the evening and he told me I was running a slight fever. Gave me MC for the next day. But I felt so much better when I woke up the next day, so I decided to ignore the MC and went to work… Even went for some site recce with my colleagues…

And went out again with frens on Sat...

Then now, my sore throat and blocked nose changed into… a horrible cough… Was coughing so badly that I think if I cough any harder, I can cough my lungs out. Boss asked me to go home again. This time, I obliged. Sigh… Wonder when the cough will stop… My dad saw me come home so early, and …

Dad: Oh! So you really came back! You were coughing so badly this morning when you were preparing to go for work, I thought you wouldn’t be going… go one big round, still got to come back rest… silly gal…

Me: Zzzz….

Dad: Serves you right… finally sick! Go out everyday and play until wee hours then come back… Go some more lor.. go to more pub and drink and party la…

Me: Double zzzz….

Dad: If your frens call you to go out again, tell them I go on your behalf la!

Me: OK! Zzzz…

So frens, dun be surprised next time my dad tags along!! Hahaha…
