Sick on New Year's Day. What the heck??

With reference to the abovementioned title, i thus conclude that this year's new year was an absolute bummer. worst to date.

Met rudy for an uber simple and practical dinner at Crystal Jade on 1st Jan. Nothing festive and fancy here. Just plenty of frustration, since every restaurants we go, there was a ginormous queue snaking right through the entrance. It didn't help that festive seasons made people feel justified for behaving like vermins. (KIV - christmas at orchard)

As dinner was coming to an end, i was starting to feel a little under the weather but promptly dismissed it as mere flu, or perhaps lethargy. Trundled back hall immediately and plonked onto bed after measuring my temperature and discovering that i had mild fever - 37.7C

That night was hell. Woke up once every 2-3 hours to find that my temperature has been slowly and steadily escalating like some stockmarket Nasdaq share.

38.5C, 39.1C, 39.2C



By 4am i was rudely woken up by the sickening heat that was consuming my whole body. My fever hit its peak of 39.4C. So in the morning rudy rushed over to bring me to NUH. Spent a couple of agonising hours there before finally being diagnosed with UTI (dont you ask me what it is) and prescribed some antibiotics.

That is long story cut short for you. What an adventure on the first day of the year, was it not?
