Damnable illness.....

Frakkin' hell, there goes my record of not falling sick for an entire year.....And if memory serves me well i was sick around the same time last year also.....Must be something to do with the monumental increases in stress levels due to the ever daunting end of semester exams. So it began with a sore throat on tuesday after i had some rather dubious chocolates left on the table in the kitchen. Since it was so minor i thought that an uptake in my water consumption levels would do the job. I developed a runny nose on wednesday which seemed to have taken over the sore-throat. Thinking that it was nothing serious i decided not to do anything. Than on thursday i was hit by the full force of the nasal problem and the sore throat. Immediate action ensued and i brewed up some chinese herbal tea which is reputed to cure sore throats and took a clarinase tab, effective stopper of colds. AND on friday it seems that i developed a fever as well, so i woke up, downed two panadols, had my herbal tea and went back to bed, only to wake up sometime in the late afternoon to head to the city. I downed another clarinase tab as soon as i got back and promptly went off to snooze. Did roughly the same thing when i woke up today, one clarinase and herbal tea. And i'm praying to God that i'm miraculously cured by this evening as i have to attend Ah John's birthday dinner and sing 'K' with him after that.....Very hard to do in my present state.....
