31st january 2008 23:00 PM(did not manage to publish this last night)here's an entry, one with a pathetic preface and few discordant chapters.guess i'll just let the wordiness unfurl.
--
six days of traumatising bout of influenza. it just came with its peak 39.1 degree fever, hits of dizziness, rounds of vomitting, blood test due to dengue suspicions, and the worst was the erratic shower of shivers which were heaty on the outside but icy on the inside when the medicine worn off time and again.
and now i feel so blessed to declare that im finally well and healthy again! i've been foolish to have taken my health for granted, only to treasure it so badly only after such a war. im proud to have won this time, not alone, but with dearest mum who stuck with me through it all, dad who became ultra naggy, bro, and of course, the greatest doctor none other than God alone (: and to all those who have stood by me and prayed for me, thank you!
sorry claire and huiqi for missing that date of ours :/ will meet up real soon!

oh, nicholas surprised me last saturday (his very first official bookout) by ringing the doorbell and popping by in his army uniform! though i was so frail and weak with high fever for a moment i thought i was all well again just seeing him standing there. anyhow, i wont be able to forgive myself for falling ill at such a wrong timing, to miss that dinner and for not being able to spend time together the entire weekend despite being on the same island now, all because of a heartless influenza virus.
and just when I thought all I had was just that few hours with him before I could only see him again next saturday, I was totally wrong. He popped by again on tuesday afternoon before going for his physiotherapy. Or so, my lucky star was twinkling despite the rain pouring outside then.

well, finally went back to work on wednesday.and guess what i dropped my antibiotics while rushing for the shuttle bus! but it was such a blessing in disguise. you wonder why and i, too, marvel at the events that followed.
went back to doc's clinic at night to buy another set of antibiotics. on his way to the toilet, doc could actually recognise me as the girl whom he lent some medical books during my last visit (fever during christmas last yr)! he offered more opportunities, gave advice and even lent me one more book (: its amazing how God had answered my prayers and used events like my fevers or losing my antibiotics as keys in opening various doors for me.
its just, simply miraculous, maybe absurd. but it has definitely shot a jab of joy into me.

and my hospital attachment is supposed to start tomorrow instead of 4th february! my, it was such a short notice i had to rush and complete a heap of work for my aunt before i leave. val's working for my aunt now, and sorry for loading you with so much information in two hours yeah? glad to have met up with her after so long. guess we were so noisy in the shuttle bus that everyone around sleeping would hate us! and val apparently didnt realise that the traffic light man had turned green, blur queen (: thank you and jiayou with my aunt alright!
i am trying to imagine how things at NUH orthopaedics will be like tomorrow.i'd been awaiting it for so long, and it has finally arrived.
and thank you
melody for such a precious opportunity (:
