Fever.. Fever.. Fever! (and National Day!)

Yup, had a high fever last week... about 39.0 degree celsius! But before I write about that, last talk about what I did the previous weeks...

I have been watching quite a few movies lately. First, it was Sorcerer's Apprentice . It was quite a good show, but the ending was typical. And the fighting reminds me of Dragon Ball, hmm... anyone feels the same? I watched Inception too. Very interesting, but very complicated. I think most of the brain cells were dead after watching the movie, and the ending made all the cells come alive just to get shock down again... Very, very complicated movie... I guess it wasn't really suitable for my puny brain. Hey, I have a small head... what can I do? XD

Moving on, I went to JB with my friends, Vic, KT and Daph. So we agreed to meet very early on that day, and we only confirmed the JB trip one day before, thanks to KT ;P

So all of us promised to meet at 10am on that day, but, because of the 'rain' (LOL... thank god for the rain XD), we pushed our meeting time to 11am instead. So all of us were rushing, cos we were afraid that the so-and-so will be too on time and unleash her fury upon us later if she waited for too long and nothing there could entertain her at that time.

Fortunately, I was the first one there. And I, being the all-so-mild-mannered guy that I am ;-p I helped them to queue up before they came. So after a while, we all boarded the bus, and have seats, cos we were the first. Yay!

Passing the custom was a pain in the a** cos everyone is rushing - like rushing to get reborn to a good family -________-
being the Singaporean that I am, I cant be losing to them right... LOL

In which case, we did lost to them and had to stand all the way to JB customs. The traffic was a mess there and we stand for quite some time. Stupid road! So again, we went for the custom, but this time, the Malaysian one. So after everything was done, we went to City Square! The only shopping center that is near the custom and near Singapore but still uses Ringgit to buy stuff!

We walked around the shopping mall for a bit, not knowing where to go, and what to do. But eventually, we thought of watching a movie there, since we have time, and there wasn't much activities we could do there.
So in the end, we watched SALT. Yet another good but typical show... Oh, but took the Friends Package that they offered there and it was really cheap! One ticket, one popcorn and one drink per pax. So it was quite worth it, not to mention that it is really very cheap to watch a movie in Malaysia! Throughout the whole movie, I felt like I was going to freeze to death. Cos the temperature was so low, and the cinema had a 'zoo' smell. The smell where u find in the Zoo. Yucks!
Remember the most important part - I ate a whole box of popcorn and drank a whole cup of 7-UP. It comes important a short while later...

For now, let's talk about after the show. After the show, of course we were quite helpless, because we do not know where to go and what to do again... lolx But, our tummy were growling a bit, so we walked around the mall, while thinking about what to eat for dinner. We had wanted to eat outside the mall, where there was a night market. But it was drizzling and we were afraid that it might get huge, so we decided to stay in the mall for our dinner. In the end, we chose a Japanese restaurant at the basement of the mall. I have forgotten the name of it... lolx
The food was good, I had the meal where there are booth rice and ramen.

After that sumptuous dinner, KT decided to buy some beard papa home! LOLx... she kept pronouncing it wrongly... haha =X But we waited for quite a long time. Just to find out its sold out! But, they are making new ones and she could make an order first, and then go somewhere else to shop around before coming back to collect the thingy.  The cashier was actually quite friendly and nice... haha I think its the only store in Malaysia... lolx

By the time we back to Malaysia customs to go back to Singapore customs to go back to Singapore, it was already night time. And the custom was jam packed with people! Boy did i regret not going back earlier, so as to beat the crowd... argh! I had to wait for quite a long while, and there wasn't any seats, the road was so packed with cars that it wasn't moving at all. I felt miserable while standing and waiting, who would have thought that I was actually starting to get sick at that time.

Yes... when i went home, and I had a short nap, while letting my sister uses my computer, I felt very cold, chilly and shivering. I was actually having a fever! A very HIGH FEVER!!! So I reported sick on Monday, and went to see my family doctor. And as usual, the clinic was packed with sick people. I had to register, but the guy in front of me was so slow that I was getting impatient. He wrote his name in such neat and slow handwriting, that I felt like grabbing the book, and asked him to let me write first. He was damn slow...

I dozed off and on for about one hour plus, while waiting for my turn. I knew that if that guy in front of me had not leave, that means my turn is not up yet. Oh his wife was SO TALKATIVE!!! In between my sleeping and waking up, I can hear her talking, NON-STOP! I dont know where did she get all the saliva and energy to talk so much!?!? And to think that she was seeing the doctor with her husband?!?! So finally their turn came, I woke up, and eagerly sat in front of the door, awaiting for my turn. I waited and waited for almost 15mins, and those two still did not come out! I was so pissed?!?! I was thinking, my fever from 39 can go up to 40 while waiting for them. And the nurse might as well call a ambulance and drive me to the hospital! They were DAMN SLOW!!! So finally the wife came out, with a small bottle, and went to the toilet. So the nurse asked me to go in, I was thinking, hmm... I didnt see her husband come out, so how can I go in. But i cant wait any longer, so i just knocked the door, and opened it. And there it was, the stupid husband seating beside the doctor, while the doctor signaled me to wait outside -_____-
STUPID NURSE AND STUPID COUPLE?!?!? My degree is really going up!
And when I finally got the chance to see the doctor, do you know what he said to me?!?!? He said why did i waited so long to come see him, cos my fever's quite high and its dangerous for me! ... I was speechless!!! Do you think I wanna wait so long to come see you! Its just that there are 10 more people in front of me, including the couple who you had to take a sample of their pee! But me, being the mild mannered boy that I am, I just smiled and said the queue was long >_< I did not have the strength and energy to argue with him. But he did give me 2 days of MC, which in turn became 4 days! LOLx... XD

I'm all better now, and today is National Day! Yay!
