A new start... and stricken

OK, this is my first blog for year 2009 and my 4th semester in NTU.

This semester is going to be different: no Japanese class because of exam time clash (sigh... I prioritized the other module, since it is my major concentration module, in addition the concentration was left with only one step to completion), two modules that requires assignments to be handed in, formal lab reports (!) that must be completed within a week...

I fell sick right on the first week of school. It was a Thursday, which I didn't have class on the first week. I suddenly felt unwell just before lunch. At first it was feverish, then I started to get very tired and dizzy. A bad diarrhea soon followed (once every hour since midnight). I was diagnosed with gastric flu (viral infection of the digestive tract).

Being sick sucks. There was a constant pain in the stomach. I couldn't eat or drink properly (once crossed a threshold, vomiting follows), nor do I have the appetite to eat. I spent whole day sleeping on the first few days. Felt that there's a lot of things that need to be done, but couldn't bring myself to do them.

Thank God it's over. Thank God that it happened before CNY (then I can eat whatever I want during new year!). Thanks everyone that showed concern and gave support during this ordeal, especially those who kept me in prayer! I love you all!

P/S: I feel chilly whenever I am outside of my room these few nights. Is it just me? Can someone verify this?
