Illnesses are Sickening
Thursday, July 2, 2009
Sigh! Been out of school for 3 days now. First day was the NWSP Prize Presentation ceremony and it was during class time so we had to pull out of classes. I could only come back for History and Chemistry, which means I missed out on English and Calculus. And then I fell sick. Which means 2 hours of Calculus gone, 1.5 hours of English gone, 1 hour of Chinese and 3 hours of Physics gone! Poof! Just like that. Sheesh. Plus, tomorrow there's PE which I'll definitely be skipping. That leaves Calculus, Evolution and Chinese and yet I have to stay till 4 because my actual lessons only start at 11.30am. I think I'm going to die tomorrow in school. Speaking of which, I feel really discriminated against, even in my own house! First, it was my Dad and now I'm sick. My dad's recovering quickly and just has a slight cough but I still have fluctuating temperatures which hit high fever levels at 38.0 degrees as well. My doctor said that if I still have the fever temperatures even after taking leave for 2 days, I'll have to go to TTS to find out if I have H1N1. I mostly have all the symptoms. Sheesh.
My family is like shunning me and asking me to be more "socially responsible". They're telling me to wear a mask and don't eat near them or cough without a tissue or throw my tissues into a "personal" doggy bag. Then I'm eating porridge all day long and not allowed to touch any other food with my "infected" hands. Oh, and I can't go into their bedrooms because I might spread the germs around.
It's like I'm a cancerous cell or something and everyone's avoiding me at all costs. I'm already feeling bad enough in my condition and yet my family wants to put more pressure on me by shunning me. It's like I don't feel home in my house. I might as well just sleep on the streets and make everyone feel better. My family should be supporting me and trusting me and yet I feel like an outsider. I'm wondering if I should go to school tomorrow. I might not, you might see me on the news as one of the newly discovered H1N1 virus spreaders. If I still have a fever tonight or tomorrow morning, my mum is taking me straight to TTS.
Gah, I really hate Singaporeans. They're like so obsessed with people who have the flu and wearing a mask. They immediately disperse from a room in no time at all, trying to get as far away from the H1N1 gang. And my mum is afraid of being publicly labeled as a relative to a H1N1 carrier. She also exaggerated the fact that everybody won't come here because it will be quarantined and there will be posters and notes all over our doors screaming "KEEP OUT! H1N1 CARRIERS LIVE HERE!".
Trying to be optimistic here. I'll hopefully attend school tomorrow, but likewise would be shunned from class activities and placed at the farthest corners of the class, a safe distance away from my classmates.
Oh, and a shout-out to Ms Evangeline Cheng who might be reading this! :D
