Damnit, Panadol™, You Win This Round

Fever. As I said it approximately 2-3 hours ago, I am down with fever, and my parents had bought me Panadol™. My arch nemesis, I could call him. Disgusting and white, hard and gigantic, this pill about 2 cm across has bought me great pain.

CHOKING, CHOKING!

Mum bought the pill for me at 8.39 PM. She gave it to me at 9 PM. And then, much arguing, debating and pill smashing later, I decided to take the pill at 9.24 PM. And now it's 9.34 PM and I have just finished the last of the horrid pill.

Yes, I'm weird: I can't swallow pills. I'm a little ashamed about this, but I believe that there are many people like me, including Jarren and if I'm not mistaken, his brother. Now now, don't go laughing at them. People each have their phobias. Like I could laugh at you if you jumped three meters up into the air upon seeing a cockroach, or whimper and hide under a table when a spider dangles from the ceiling; but alas, I choose not to.

THEY LOOK THAT BIG!

For those confused at why a little pill like that could scare me, let me explain in detail what my mind is telling me:

The pill, coming into the mouth. It's going to lodge into my throat! I'm going to choke! Noooo! I can break it into pieces, yes! Bring out the pill splitter! Wham! Die, pill die! Oh no, the pill now has sharp edges. It's going to slice my throat, rip my tonsils out! It's going in my mouth! Damn water can't help. No, no, no, no!

So, gulp goes the pill. And that's just half of it. Meh, what can I say. Pills are bad for me. And they should be for you. Unless of course you're not afraid. Why can't there be nice pills?

LIKE THIS! THE JAPANESE FIGURINE IS A PLUS!

Stupid Panadol™ and their stupid pills. Why can't they make liquid for ADULTS?!

Make one for adults please, I beg you!

I Have Semi-Fever!

Yes, you heard it right. I'm sick at the moment. It all started out yesterday when my nose got funny. I can't stop sneezing and then there was loads of mucus everywhere (Hey, don't put on the "Eww, disgusting" face. I can't control my mucus). Oh and there was the stupid sore throat. It buggered me for 2 days straight.

This was one of the few least disgusting pictures that I could find on Google Images. Believe me, the others must have mistaken my search of "Sore Throat" for "Throat Cancer". I must say, he looks like Charlie Sheen.

In the evening I had a slight headache. Nothing but a small nap couldn't cure. But no-o-o. This guy's tough. He chose to hang on with me for the entire night, bothering me and my sleep (and computer games). Not to mention I had the chills during sleep and was covered in a sheen of sweat, even in an air conditioned room.

Not exactly this chill, but you get the picture. Now imagine hellfire behind the door. That's how I feel right now.

Now don't be alarmed: I'm not sick. Yet. So the next morning my headache had lessen (which was a relief) but my nose still wasn't improving. Stupid runny nose. If this continues, I bet my nose could win the marathon. Anyways, during the fourth period, I was feeling, well, sick again. This time, my headache was accompanied by the dull pain in my bones. When this symptom came up, I knew what was going to await me: fever.

Aww this poor little kid. That's right: fevers are bad...

...Well, maybe not this fever.

Yes, the horrible brain-burning, bone-aching, body-weakening illness. Fever is basically the body fighting against some infection or bacteria, but why my immune systems would try to fry my brain was still a mystery to me. They probably enjoy some barbecue. I have skipped tuition because of this, and what's worse, I have a trip to Kuala Selangor tomorrow. If this keeps up, I won't be able to go and my friends will kill me on Monday.

Yes, I am sure I do not want this guy after me. I saw what he could do with wires: it's creepy...

So, I just have to drink lots of water, lots of 100 Plus, lots of water and sleep and sleep and rest and rest and apply Kool Fever! on my forehead. Hopefully this will pass and I won't end up waking and feeling like a zombie tomorrow morning. Slim chance but hey, I'll take any chance now.

You know how many pictures I have to find about 100 Plus? It seems like either every website has a malware, virus or the webpage was complete smoked.

And I find it so amazing that nobody, and I repeat, nobody noticed that I was sick at school today. What good friends I have!
