Still Aching

Ever since my suspected dengue/chikungunya scare last November, my whole body ached, even months later.

Obviously I don't feel like fasting at all. I didn't even manage to do the six day fasting. I just don't feel like it. It's that bad, the feeling.

So, after several month of not fasting, I finally feel I should try it out.

I didn't wake up for the sahur though.

Let's see how it goes then.

Incapacitated Rocker

I do feel old now.

I think I am losing more hair than I should have.

God I am worried.

An ex-rocker (or probably still am) like me losing hair!?

Think Sean Killian in 1992 compared to the more recent live version back in 2005.

Or even better, think Rich Dean Anderson during Macgyver times compared to Stargate SG-1.

Or the best, think Kojak or Yul Brynner, all those eternal times...

Arrrghhh!!!

Far from serene isn't it....

Or was it the MSG I subconsciously ate these few weeks...

Tunnel Vision

Sometimes, I experienced this personal form of tunnel vision.

I think the PC monitor in front of me looks too far away.

Sometimes, the water cooler looks like it's a kilometer away.

Probably it's the aftermath of the dengue scare I got a week ago, I don't know.

Not The Usual Fever

Took MC the rest of last week.

I was actually suspected as having dengue.

So it's not the usual fever. I was lucky I guess.

So from Tuesday up to Friday, all I did at home was, lying down. And when the time comes, off to the clinic I go.

Everyday at the clinic, the usual routine was to go to the lab to have my blood extracted for tests, and then wait for the doctor to inform me of whether I should be warded or not.

Lucky, I am for all week, saved from being warded, all thanks to bottles of 100+, some Ling Zhi pills, and crab soup.

Needless to say, I don't like all three, but I have to take them anyway.

By Friday, come the good news, that my platelet count was over the "sick" limit. So starting from that day, I can Raya...

A Week Of Warmth

Yes it's a Raya week.

But I don't really get to enjoy most of it.

I was actually down with fever come third Raya.

I felt so disabled. It's quite a hot one, and my body seems so weakened.

Traveling from Terengganu to Seremban was fully taken over by my wife, as I am unsure I could even watch the road properly.

The least I could do was enjoy the first two days of Raya, and that's good enough for me.

And today, I do try to come to work.

Being Healthy Again

After several months without medication, the rhinitis/sinusitis came back.

So I decided to eat vitamins once again.

It's nothing much, and I don't really follow the dosage, considering the costs involved. It comprises of a 4 Nutrilite tablets, which are a multivitamin called Daily and three vitamins B, C and E.

I started about 3 weeks ago, and I think most of the symptoms are gone.

I think I don't get anymore canker sores too.

So that's it, lack of vitamins!

I sure hope this health is long-lasting.

I would recommend anybody who suffers to take vitamins instead of medications, which I am a bit phobic of, considering the chemicals that the body will undertake.

Nervous Brake Down

I feel like a fever is coming.

It's very apparent when I reached the masjid for my Friday prayers.

It's the feeling when you first feel restless, and the body seems warmer than the usual.

Then comes the bits of nausea.

The stomach churns. You think you oughta go to the loo.

Loss of appetite.

Mouth seemingly dry, and it loves it.

Neck feels some tingling.

Does it have anything to do with the office aircond getting broken? It's getting hotter and hotter these few weeks.. Or...

Does it have anything to do with the upcoming PTD exam?

Does it have anything to do with the fact I hyper-anticipate whatever that is coming, when I drive the brake-less STELLAR this morning?

Yes he ain't got no brakes, other than the handbrake. And it takes lots of guts, and a very early morning trip. Yes, the cold wind seeping in the side glass, and the cold water I took bath with. Hmm...

I do admit that I do drive him, whatever his condition is. I just need the extra guts, extra car distance, extra numbers of downshifting gearchanges, and lots of pulling up the handbrake lever, while taking extreme care if it's wet.

Gotta do something about this fever t0-be, and also the brakes of my mate.

Mother-Son Bonding

Not enough sleep last night. And that makes me late for work.

I can only think of a few reasons why.

Muzaffar was not feeling well. There's this pain inside one of his ears. It's the discomfort that made him not being able to sleep well, and having us to stay up as well. And my God I am worried that some insect has made its way into his ear. Thank goodness it's only lots of wax.

Plus, he's feeling left out already, about the good news my family just got about the possibility of a new family member being on the way. Yes you read it right.

He suddenly seem to want to be so close to his mother, like he used to about a few months ago when my love wanted to stop his breastfeeding.

Muzaffar dear, you should never worry. Rest assured that you are always the very beloved son. And hope you will soon be a good brother as well.

Get Stiff

After the badminton session with my office mates last night, with a stiff body I woke up, and a late one at that.

And I have to face the site at TLDM Kuantan to attend a ship maintenance with this body.

And with friends onboard the ship shaking hands with me, I felt my shoulder socket about to pop.

I guess the visitation is light enough though, and we get to retreat after three hours.

And the hot day on the highway doesn't help either. My eyes have to remain closed, so most of the time, I seem to look like doing the nap.

A long nap on a medium-soft bed could be the answer I am seeking.

Clinical

Took MC today. My body feels too weak to do anything.

Went to Klinik Putrajaya for some medicine. I arrived close to 12pm. The attendant told me that I may have to come again after Friday prayers, as the doctor may take a break at 12.15pm.

I took my chance and gambled my way.

Sure enough, I went in at 12.25pm.

Good doctor!

Caught The Bug

Lifting stuffs at the office has took its toll on me.

I think I am in the midst of getting a flu.

It's all dusty and powdery here and there, and we are all exposed to the dirt.

Some of us had already caught the bug. I think I'm the worst part.

In another quite-related occurence, one of us had the back pain. Not for the faint-hearted.
