30/3/2006:39.2*C??....
ya, doctor told me i got high fever...wad the.... i had wake up soo early in the morning (arnd 5am) coz my throat was soo dry n hurts like crazy...gulped down 3 full cups of plain cold water, den realised dat i my forehead was burning hot!...had my breakfast with my parents n brother who are going to work and sch, den quickly swallowed 2 panadol pills down b4 the headache n fever gets worse....after dat went back to bed for a short nap...after one hr when i woke up i was like so drenched with my own sweat...but i felt so much better le, so i took a bath to relieve myself of the sweaty sensation on my body, den took my temperature which read: 36.7*c, ok so i thought i ok le, so i went back to sleep again...
end of story??, no it is juz the beginning...lata in the day when i woke up at arnd 11am, i realised dat my headache acts up again!....but my head didnt feel v hot, so didnt reallie care, so i surfed net on my laptop, den went to the kitchen to find somemore panadol, den i realised dat dere arent any left in the house!...arghz...and my headache gets worse n worse by minute, so i decided to go see a doctor, and also to buy some porridge home to eat...
took 302 all the way to cck interchange, den took 190 to cck polyclinic...i saw dat there was actually NO queue at the cck polyclinic, so i happily went to register and take a queue number, den i went to the waiting area, n gosh, dere was like so many pple larh...i lifted my head up n saw the screen which says "approx waiting time to see a doctor for walk-in cases: 3hr 19 min".....it was like 1.15pm at dat time n dun tell me i hav to wait till 4 or 5 pm b4 i get to see a doctor??...my headache would hav already "killed" me by den...polyclinic is cheap as it is subsidized by government but den waiting time is soooo long!!???....i was tinking " forget it, i go see a private doctor den..." so i took 190 back to cck interchange, den went to foodfare coffee shop (which is juz beside the cck interchange) to buy duck meat porridge, b4 i took an MRT to yew tee central...
reach dere at arnd 2, den went to withdraw another 20 bucks from atm, den got a queue number (number 1) in the private clinic...the doctor took my temperature and she was so surprised dat i got such a high fever: 39.2*c....i myself also quite surprised becoz i nvr had fever beyond 38 degrees...she checked my throat and found dat it was quite bad and sore....so she perscriped some v powerful panadol to me and anti-biotics, plus one bottle of cough syrup and a throat lozenges....guess how much these cost??...38 bucks!!!!....gosh, i was like a bit surprised like larh, n i repeat myself to the lady at the counter dere to cfm dat it is 38 bucks...luckily i got juz enough money to pay for everything, otherwise hav to cheong out to the atms outside to withdraw more money...dat would be v pai seh....
dat panadol is reallie damn gd sia, go home, had my porridge, bath, eat medicine, den pop those pills n syrup, den took a nap....when i woke up felt reallie much better le, but of cuz, i was like sweating uncontrollably...
