Funny incident...

and it had to be me....

was up the bus one morning.. its not often when i have to squeeze in the bus as now, my working place is on the other part of the country(the extreme west to be exact). I had to board the bus which cuts into the centre of the busiest part of town; SHENTON WAY. its the buisness hub of Singapore.. and to top it off, i had to take the bus when its at the peak of the human traffic, the morning shift.. anyone??

i had to stand for a well half hour or more before, finally, there was a seat vacant right in front of me.. sometimes, i cannot understand why when its during the peak times, the buses that they sent out have to be single decked ones instead of the double deckers to hold a larger capacity of people and also save the trouble fo having another smaller deck bus to do another round.. ok.. i am complaining cox i was ill and needed a seat.. badly.. and because of my youth, i am definately not be given a seat so readily unless i was to a) showed abit of sexy flesh or b) faint...

wat would happen if i did a)... many would choose to alight and i would have the bus to myself.. or b).. most likely people would just use me as the latest bus rug.. hiaz..

ok... back to my story.. so when at last there was a seat empty.. and no one seem to wanna to rush for it.. i immediately went for it.. typical Singaporean.. KIASU!!..

the lady got down and i rushed for the seat.. the guy's a big guy.. u actually feel quite squashed up at the in side of the seat. and it doesnt help when the bus makes a sharp turn or somethin.. u totally die under his weight..

strangely, the bus came to a sudden halt. the bus driver got off his seat and went out of the bus.. then from window, i saw the lady who was teh previous occupant fo my seat started pointing in my direction (note, my seat was at the window which faces the bus stops, so i have a perfect view of wat is goin on outside.).

i became uncomfortable as she started to stare at me with her finger pointed at my window and the bus drive lookin at her pointed direction.. hmm.. i started to think if she had left somethin here and suspects that i took it or so.. i started fidgeting.. checkin to see if i had sat on her 'ultra-thin' handphone or wallet or somethin..

she started comin up the bus with the bus driver and was nearing my seat with every step.. considering that i had a clear conscience, i just stared outwards. then she said out quite loudly,'he's the one!' ????? i didnt get her..

Lady: 'I felt very uncomfortable while sitting besdie him. He was like trying somethin funny with me. I couldnt stand it thats y i got down'

the guy beside me, put down his papers and said,'i am quite a big man, u can see from my size. when the bus move, i also move mah.. so wats so funny?'

'u were squeezing me, u were being funny and i was totally uncomfortable with u. i want to make a police report.' she went on.

bus driver to the man, 'Sir, i hope u understand, i am doin my job. she says somethin like that so i have to check on it. and she insists on makin a police report'

man: 'i know.. like i said, i am so big, i will swerve around with the bus.'

bus driver to lady, 'so how can we settle this?'

'i want him to say sorry.. or i'll make a police report'. she said.

''ok.. sorry.. I didnt do anythin funny.' the man replied.

'so drama!!' my inner-self said..

'like that u take cab lah, dont take bus lah' side remarks from a bunch of guys at the back row.. (though i must say.. wats up with these guys, she is a brave woman to speak up. girls have more to lose than guys hence they can say such crap. and if they were to be touched by a woman or another guy, woudl they speak up??!! thats the ugly side of human nature, we always critisise the abnormal. these guys were just putting up a machoism front..)

though i must say.. i couldnt help but wanna laugh.. of all seats, i had to rush for one that is besdie a suspected pervert... i mean.. really.. i just have that golden touch..

dont lie... really...

FEVER!!!

ok.. from this.. u can tell, i was down with fever. as of now, when i am typing out this post, i am still in the fever range, 37.6. Its not a really great thing to fall ill.. not even if u have the absolute right to take MC (medcial certificate). Its a double blow when u are real sick and never exert your rights to use the Mc due to work... gosh... well, i fall in the 2nd category.

i can real stubborn at times.. i tend to refuse to listen to advises and do the conventions even if its at the expense of my health. U see, i was scheduled for a 3-dat course by my office. so I attended the 1st day without much of a glitch.. though i did feel alittle unwell, PANADOL was my miracle pill whenever i feel sick or unwell. Its like a energy sweet to me already.. haaa.. i am an addcit to it... yes. i have been heavily criticised on it... then again.. pls read para 2, line 1.

after having popped the pill, i even went on to have a game of basketball.. yes, kinda in my office wear.. i am desperate for some sports to my otherwise very office-bounded job during working.. all sweaty, i went back to the classroom to procceed on with the 2nd half of my lesson. hmmm.. so i was told, its best to cool down first before goin into an air-con rooom, i may just fall ill.. a smart ass as i can be at times, i replied, "no prob, i had panadol, its a prevention medicine.. so my immune system is up and ready.. haha.." DUMB ASS!!

my temperature was abt 37.8 when i went home.. my joints were hurting and i seemed to be developing a flu.. as usual.. PANADOL!!! just that i took in a much heavier dose.. and at a higher frequency..

DAY 2:
CONFIRMED!! Fever!!! Temperature shows: 38.8...
Through out the night... i just couldnt sleep well as i was like feeling hot yet cold.. my torso was hot but my hands, feet and ears were cold.. i was in pain.. didnt sleep well.. so was taking the thermometer to check my temperature... u see, ever since the SARS period, i owned a thermometer as i know my luck is pretty u know.. and i seem to be at the fore-front of such 'trends' too. My temperature was varying between 38.8 to 38.3...

i was in so much pain that i was woken up so many times.. even msged my fellow course-mates that most prob i cant make it for the course... but a workaholic at times, i even asked if i would need to retake.. so.. it does seem that i have to re-take.. after popping more pain-killers, my temperture did drop to abt 37.9.. so i still went to NACLI to do my second day of course.. i mux say.. its a real torture man..

DAY 3: Final day of course.. and my tenatious fever just wont go..
its weird that my fever just wont go down.. my panadol's were definately running low.. now.. the relatives of flu and fever, cough.. has decided to have a conbference in my body.. i was having a real bad cough now..

still i forced myself to the course site.. man.. am i shagged.. its really a case of mind over matter..
ok.. done for the day.. great.. i went home only to bury myself in my bed hoping that the fever would just leave..

DAY 4: made a pact with my mum that i would go see the doc on this day if i aint any better.. my mum had been at my back abt my sickness and has been nagging me.. but i am pretty gd at being in the zone when parents nag.. haha

cannot make it liao.. so went to see the docs..
i've been making a trip the doc like every month.. gosh.. its a much rgular visit than to my dentist...

when i met the doc, i told him my case... when he heard it was my 4th day of sickness.. he was like, "WAT??!!" Before he could ask, "Why only now, then u come and see the doctors", I rushed to speak first, "eh.. i was out of the country.." (when the real reason was i just didnt see the doc cox i was stubbornly trying to finihs my course so that i need not retake it again..PRIDE..) "and where did u come back from?" he asked still in disbelief. "eh.. Kedah, Malaysia." that was like the name that suddenly popped up..

hiaz.. u see.. when u tel a lie.. u get it.. immediately, i was asked to go for a blood test.. HOW I HATE INJECTIONS!! there were 2 nurses there. Surprsingly, i felt little pain.. thought i might have committed murder behind closed doors.. but.. no.. i was actually quite calm..
1) the other nurse was so good at distracting me, that i wasnt thinkin much..
2) the medicines that i had been taking has competely numbed me..
*poke* needle went in.. *ploke* and its out.. haha.. that easy..

never lie.. u just put yourself into more mess.. i am suspected of having either dengue or malaria.. gosh...

due to my persistent fever, i am now under observatiopn.. if my fever doesnt drop tonight, i'll have to go to the docs again.. my blood is to stay back while i can now come home..

pls... no hospital... i like the comfort of my home.... i'll have ice bath!!
