Hidoi just means cruel. The title is simple right? Well, the thing that was cruel was my viral fever, I lost out almost 2 weeks of my holidays because of it. And actually I am still suffering the after effects of it. (which is a super stupid cough and flu, which doesn’t seem to want to leave..) Anyway, the viral fever is the reason for my long absence, so I was thinking of posting up what went on and my thoughts during the time in which I was ill. Remember that “gatsu” means month, and “nichi” means day, finally “nen” means year. The words with the word “yobi” attached is just the days of the week i.e. Monday Tuesday etc. so if you want to know what day nichiyobi is referring to, I suggest you go look at the 2005 calendar.

Today I was supposed to play mahjong with Gene and Rowan, but I woke up feeling like crap, so I was lying around in bed almost the whole day, thinking that a little rest is all I need and I can play mahjong after that. Unfortunately, I didn’t get any better, and after taking my temperature it was at 38°C, and I was down with a horrid cough too. So I called Rowan and Gene, told them that I couldn’t make it, took Paracetamol and went to bed.

Still down with the horrid high fever. Exactly four hours after taking a Paracetamol, the high fever comes back, no fail, I had to diligently take the medication even in the wee hours of the morning. (imagine at ¾ am I had to wake up to eat my medication.. sigh)I would wake up shivering due to the high fever. My temperature even reached 39°C at one point when the effect of the medicine had wore off. Torture, no appetite to eat, and feel so sleepy the whole time.. I think I need a doctor…

Woke up with the flu. So now I have high fever, cough and flu, and just when I thought that it couldn’t get any worse. The fever is causing me difficulties in sleeping at night, I am shivering under my covers. Popping Paracetamol as if my life depends on it. My mum got worried, afraid that I might be down with Dengue. So at about 9-10am my dad brought me to the University Hospital (a.k.a. UH) for a check up. Went to staff health services to get the number and everything. Wait here, wait there, (well it’s government after all what do you aspect?) After about an hour, I finally got to see the doctor. And had my blood taken for a platelet count and all. The doctor said that I had a virus, but they are not sure whether it’s dengue. My platelet count looks ok. The doctor also said that if my high fever doesn’t drop by the fifth day or so, I had better go and check my blood again.. So I just got a prescription and went home, popped another Paracetamol and went to bed. The horror of it all. The crook of my left arm is bruised, where my blood was taken. Internal bleeding?

My fever is still as high as ever, if not higher, so my mum took my blood again, this time from the right hand, my left arm still hurts at the spot where my blood was taken by the nurse. My mum said people with thalasemia usually easily get bruises like that over small wounds. (Explains why I bruise so easily?) Oh I woke up with another symptom. This time I have the sore throat. So it’s like a package A, accept the fever for this one is killing, so I diligently pop my Paracetamol and head to bed. Okasan said that, if the fever doesn’t drop the next day, she’s going to take my blood for a platelet count again. Where is she going to draw blood? The left vein is still unavailable due to the bruise and she just took from the right.. like vampire only la.. still no appetite to eat.. die lor like that..

Thank goodness. My fever has dropped; it’s no longer high fever but slight fever now. Still feel like crap. I feel lifeless, with no energy to even walk. Sigh. Anyway, my parents brought me out to eat breakfast, had to kind of force myself to eat most of it. Still have no appetite, and at the rate that I am eating, I think I eat only less than one full meal a day. Explains the lack of energy, no? Got a call from uncle HP, and he says that there is a count down at dai yi’s house tonight. My mum seems like she wants to go, and since my fever has dropped, oh what the heck. Worse come to worse I can sleep in the room at dai yi’s house. So in the evening (it was raining, such luck but it stopped when we reached the restaurant, haha I was like a princess, people all holding umbrellas for me keke, well my fever just only dropped haha) went over to Ampang. Went to this seafood restaurant. I have become like my cousin tonight; I hardly ate. My parents were relieved that my fever had dropped that they said I could eat anything. The only problem is they have forgotten about the lack of appetite and the sore throat. But food aside (cause I couldn’t really eat anyway.) the company was quite fun, as usual my cousins on my maternal side. But we didn’t really go nuts, cause I was like dying there. My cousins can’t seem to go nuts unless I do with them.. Anyway when we went back to the house, I went into the guest room to lie down while everyone sat around and talked in the living room. A cousin joined me in the room and we chatted about life, friends and one of the cousin’s attitude problem. After that, we had a countdown (it was kinda lame if you asked me) and got stuck in a traffic jam on the way home from KL.

It’s the new year!! And I am still down with a slight fever, as lifeless as ever. Packed everything up and went back to my hometown. The whole family. Spent my time there sleeping after taking my medication. It rained here, making it cold. So after dinner (still not much of an appetite) we went back home and watched some television. As Pearl Harbour was showing, I thought that I did watch that, and after that I went to bed. Oh, earlier of the day I got an SMS from Jin Fong, she wanted to go out, but with my condition… got a little annoyed with her, as she kept SMS-ing when I wanted to rest.

Woke up, I forgot the thermometer, so I have no idea whether I am still down with the fever. but I don’t really feel like it, then again I could have been immune to the feeling already hahaha. Still lifeless and still lack appetite. Slept most of the day away. Lazed around. Then came back to PJ. Slept somemore, watched TV.

Kayobi 1 Gatsu 3 Nichi 2006 Nen

Still with slight fever, slept most of the day, appetite still not back. Life is horrible. I feel like doing nothing. So I just lay down there, watching TV. I watchd Tenjo Tenje today. my piano teacher borrowed it to me before I went to Australia I think. Now only I started on it. Not really nice, or should I say not really my type. As I am kind of a feminist. So all this big boobs exposing oneself, is not really my kind. The storyline is kind of… err cacat also…

Suiyobi 1 Gatsu 4 Nichi 2006 Nen

Still no appetite but I think the fever is gone. It comes and goes at it pleases. Still lifeless. Continued watching Tenjo Tenje. I have no idea what that show is trying to convey. Lazed about, watched TV. No mood to do anything. I feel like I totally have no energy.

It’s Nicholas’s (Leong) birthday today! I remembered this year. Usually I accidentally forget only to remember a few days later or weeks later (always felt guilty, honest) as I usually start classes on the 5th of January. But this year I was at home with nothing to do. So I SMSed him. Well lazed around today. no appetite as usual. Lazed around as usual.

Watched Ayashi no Ceres, with my nisan’s computer. Cause mine can’t play anything unless it’s in MPEG version. (which I might as well use the player downstairs) ano anime wa, watashi wa mitte wa to san ji asa nemutte. Walaueh damn nice la, the character is so cute, and the storyline about a Tenyo (heavenly maiden), which for those who don’t know folklore.

The story was based on the folklore of the fairies that came down from heaven to bath in a lake/river/ sea on earth. When the fairies were bathing, a man happened to pass by and he saw them, overwhelmed by their beauty, he stole a robe (known as the hagoromono in Japanese meaning feathered robe) which belonged to a fairy. Without it the fairy could not go back to heaven, and thus was stranded on earth. The man then married the fairy. Legend has it that she finally got back her robe one day and returned to the heavens. I am not very sure about the full version, but the basic one is like that. So the basic storyline of this anime followed that legend. But with a little twist. Not bad. It’s a shojou anime and I liked it. Thanks Michelle for borrowing it.
