Quarantined

I'm back from Siar Beach Resort, a 4 days camp my course organized to discuss about modules for internship next year. Overall, the camp was fun not from the organizer but from us who sleep inside the same room. P, A, M, S, Q n I. There were 6 of us in the room with air conditioner. Too bad for K n C that they could not join us because C could not take the air conditioner or else she'll get stuffed nose. The discussion of modules has enlightened me throughout the 4 days. I am still glad that I went. No, I did not swim at the beach and yes, I suffered from sand fly bites cos the beach was next to the swamp groove. P got 35 bites and mine i think around 20 n it's recovering though. My cough was getting better day by day during the camps but there were around 6 of my coursemates having fever, cough and flu and got quarantined for the whole 4 days. The thing is they cough without wearing mask nor cover their mouth. Hmm...I feel so bad but then again, I thought that I was recovering and it will be okay.

But NO. I came back home, ate some rare mango with dried shrimp+chilly+sugar+salt+soy sauce and then ate a bowl of porridge. After that, I cough cough cough and cough non-stop. I went upstairs wanted to do my work but I couldn't focus. I then decided to sleep......

The next morning which is today, I found myself weak, having fever and cough and couldn't even push myself up. I told JJ to contact Ms. HL and told her that we couldn't make it to school. After that, we went to BPPs to deal with my credit hours, then to clinic. Alamak, it's closed for lunch! So, we had lunch at Pohonmas and I had porridge.

Ding dong..2.30pm...I went to the clinic and the nurse still isn't there. I waited till the nurse came around 2.50pm and check my temp. It was 38.1 degree Celcius. Went in to see the doctor and then I'm confirmed to be Quarantined in suspicion for Influenza A H1N1. How can this be? Well, I know I'm sick but not that sick.

I went home, packed my things and went back to the clinic. The ambulance took me to Bunga Raya and there, I've been given a single room. At first I'm being given a double room and expected to be empty but when I went there, there's a girl there. So, I went down and asked for another room. Thank goodness now that I'm being given a Single Room so that there's no possibility for any other occupant to share with me. I wana get well within this 1 week.
