How to tell you are really going to fall sick.

Was out today... supposedly to do some post-X'mas shopping and grab some bargains.. ended up having bought nought. Shucks. And imagine the thrill of finding the pair of jeans dat you wanted oh-so badly on sale in Zara, but end up not being able to buy it cos they do not have ur size. How nice.

Worse thing is, you have this nudging feeling dat you are going to fall sick.. next thing you know, you ARE falling sick.

Well, let me educate you on how to tell you are indeed succumbing to the highly disturbing Sinusitis bug.

1. You feel feverish, though it may not register on a thermometer. (Could it be dat SAF issued thermometers just ain't trustworthy?)

2. You have this highly annoying feeling dat ur nose is full of mucus.. and yet try as you might, nothing comes out when you blow ur nose.

3. You smell this pungent smell of socks being waved right before your nose, after having served its master for, say, 1 week? This is despite the fact dat there is really NO smelly socks within the vicinity.

4. Your fingers go dead cold, and even the floor felt so cold to your feet dat it pricks.

5. When you finally do manage to blow your nose, you see thick, viscous, yellowish liquid, which is obviously infectious mucus.. (Firers, watch ur front. Piak!)

6. You feel lethargic.. and ur body aches.

7. You see the only place where you can really feel snug and warm is under, say, 10 blankets and wearing 5 pull-overs all at once.

As of now, I'm expecting more to come in the next couple of hours. Probably a real fever, sore throat, cheeks dat are sensitive to the slightest touch and maybe even a toothache. Talk abt experience. We'll see about dat.

Meanwhile, say tuned for more 'Sickman Does Reporting' in the following days.. if I make it to my keyboard alive.
