Feverish Feeling

Caught fever for the past couple of days. I refused to get treatment from the doctors, even though my parents insisted. I don’t like going to the clinics or hospitals. You get that kinda smell from all those kinda medicine which makes you even sicker. Apa bezanya? Pergi doktor pun nanti dia akan tanya juga kita sakit apa? I mean, you’re the doctor right? You’re the experts lah, nak tanya lagi orang tengah sakit buat apa. So end up I just took some aspirins to ease the pain. My temperature was really high. My head was spinning like a Merry-Go-Round. I just slept all day long. Yesterday I even took an ‘emergency leave’. Ye lah, tak pergi doktor, macam mana nak dapat MC? Today I’m in the office, feeling much better, even though not yet 100% recovered. Badan masih lagi kadang-kadang rasa seram sejuk, kepala pun kadang-kadang masih rasa pusing-pusing lagi…

I still remember when I was still a kid, when I caught fever, dad would bring me to the clinic. Well, the clinic thingy is not the best part. The best part is that when we were done with the clinic, dad would ask me if there is anything I want, anything at all. It was like some kinda treat he gave you for your sickness. Masa ni lah boleh mintak apa yang tak boleh mintak masa sihat dulu. Heheh, little devil! But of course, what could possibly a 9 or 10 year old asked for kan? Berapa sangat la yang boleh minta pun. Habis-habis pun minta belikan pencil box baru ke, buku baru ke, sticker collections ke... So innocent! But still, you get that treat that you’ll sure won’t get it now, not at this age. Such memories…
