Every year, we get some of these periods. The stretch of time which sees people sneezing, coughing and blowing their noses. Some of them get it early. Some of them catch it from their friends. Some of them get it early and then get it again after some mutation of the structure. But whatever the case, whenever it happens, it is never welcomed. Introducing to you, the flu bug.

Influenza as it is otherwise known, has many forms and mutations. That is the main reason why we can get it so many times in one life, for my case, 18 years mius 5 months and 4 days. And so I have once again chanced upon a new cousin from the flu family, lets call him version 2007.01.18 for courtesy sake.

It is wierd how the flu bug never seems to lose its touch. Let me cite an analogy, if one sits the most thrilling roller coaster ride in a amusement park for too many times, it soons loses its kick and one may not even flinch before the plunge from the peak of those twisted tracks. However, this is not the case with the flu. It comes again and again, and yet, we still feel its full effect time after time.

Everytime it comes, we can never be prepared for its effects. The physical symptoms of running nose, cough, fever and fatigue is just the tip of the iceberg. Whats worse is the irritance we often feel from all this trouble. And of course, the different effects this has on our mental state

For my case, I feel extremely vunerable. With this temporary phase of weakness comes a sense of overdefensiveness. I seriously could have punched anyone who irritated me enough today. It is sad. You cant exactly feel self confident when you feel like shit too. So yeah, you probably spend of the day zombie-ing around. Stoning, stoning and more stoning is what you can do with tissue paper as your best friend. Sigh. The flu.

But well it is good when you are not alone. Terence was kind of sick today too, more sick then me lah. So he koped the whole toilet roll from the chemistry lab and that saved my life for up till gp lesson. And we crazy people still ran around the school during PE. And fortunately we are still alive.

The point of writing so much is to tell people to take care of yourself and not catch this flu, cause its running around these days. Healthy people stay healthy, and my comrades against the flu bug, rest well and win this battle. Hope I will recover like by tomorrow. Hahas.

And yay, the whole family is home again. =)
