Boo. Sick. Didn’t turn up for school today. It wasn’t intentional. Skipping school when you are REALLY sick sucks. I managed to survive all the way till Yew Tee before I finally surrendered and went home. That moment of contemplation was actually pretty amusing. There were really like 2 characters in my head. An angel and a demon. I had no idea which role either voice assumed but the conversation went like this:
A: You should go home. You’re already feeling weak. Just rest.
B: No. You can take it. Its only a few more rides till school.
A: Let her rest! She’s already feeling weird.
At that point of time, my ears started to have weird noises. It sounded like .. how do I describe it. Do you know those old internet connection? When we still needed the home telephone line in order to connect to the internet? Yepp. I heard that sound IN my head. My ears were totally blocked. And well, I gave up. Started to perspire. I could feel my limbs and feet go cold.
On the trip home, I’m really glad my brother was with me. First time, I sat on a reserved seat. Though I did open my eyes at times to make sure there’s no elderly or pregnant ladies who needs the seat, which the probability was less than 1% since it the train was the opposite direction.
Upon reaching home, I went flat against my mattress and flew to lala land instantly. When I woke up, I felt much energised. Only when my mum asked if I drank the cough medicine, I just realised what I did to myself! The cough medicine makes me drowsy. I forgotten all about it. Darn. And so, my opportunity cost (just had to write this because of all the economics lessons lately) was rather huge. A 3 hour lecture in SIM is roughly a few hundred bucks.
Oh well, I should still be thankful for the rest I have gotten instead because I feel much better now. I think I’ll be almost recovered on camp day itself (: Excited max!
