Its been a sickly week for me. Fell rather ill from my endless coughing on Sunday evening. Had a coughing fit for about 15 minutes. That by the end of it felt so sick. Coupled with the fact that there was a lot of crap due on monday morning. I decided to take mc.

Woke up in the morning, went to take shuttle bus to the medical centre. Didnt realized that they changed the bus routes. I hopped on a shuttle bus only for it to bring me one round back to my hall. I got down near the Canteen A and proceeded to walk groggily to the medical centre which was on the other side of campus. It was really taxing and I wondered if I would collapse before I reached the doctor. When I finally arrived, had to wait. The doctor gave me mc upon my request and antibiotics.

Luckily I took mc cos it got worse when I got back to hall. It developed into stomach flu... spent an hour trying to sleep but couldnt. Hence I set up my laptop on my chair, laid in bed under covers and played maple. Saw my sister online and told her I was sick and on mc. Think she told mum and later told me mum said to take care. Saw my brother later on and he knew I was sick. Wow, the power of Maple communication.

Hence for the past few days, I had requested for the fan to be switched off at night that somewhat irked Tab. She kept on harping, its stale air, hot, sweating. And that she cannot believe that I could be under a blanket and a comforter and not be warm. Cos according to the chinese sinseh, the circulation to my chest is not good. Hence my entire body can be warm but yet my chest feels cold. And it gets worse when there is aircon or fan blowing at my chest. Anyway I have been hearing nothing but complaints. Its not like I purposely wanted it to be so. Its not like I didnt put up with the fan at night ever since I moved in and hence the 'mummy'.

Every since I've moved in, I had always woken up in the middle of the night from the cold. Its cold until I woke up, had to cover myself then try to go back to sleep. U dun see me ranting about it. Only for the past few nights had I had uninterupted sleep. Dun have to wake up to cover myself anymore...

Last time in NUS hall, I would either switch off the fan or put it to lvl 1 before sleeping, but the knob for the NUT fan was taken out purposely so the fan is at least at lvl 3-4 so of course cannot tahan.... Wish she can get her own fan soon. As a form of compromise, I would wrapped up in 3 layers and let her on the fan. Its only been 3 nights without fan and complain so much. Better do this otherwise can never be in peace. I wish too for my cough to get better.

Anyway had another jap food meal at Bentobox at Jurong point, Tab's recommendations. But the food is only so so. The food tasted normal but my tempura were scrawny-looking and lukewarm. Hardly great. Verdict, I wont go there again, rather go Sumo Ya at clementi for warm jap food with big tempuras.
