After two months of flying around the globe, bouncing from Singapore to Paris back to Singapore then to California and back to Singapore, I think my antibodies got fed up and have finally revolted. Perhaps my bodyclock got too distorted with all the time changes, perhaps I lack sleep. One thing is certain, I am no supergirl =(
I didn't see it coming though, as after arriving in Singapore at almost 1am last Monday from California, I didn't have a problem going to work a few hours after. Ex
cept that my lips were chapping (no thanks to the added security enforced in all flights to and from United States that prohibited lip gloss/balm or anything gel like to be in a carry-on bag). However, on Tuesday night I started to get down with the flu. I felt my eyes and breath were very warm and my head was so heavy. By Wednesday I was sick enough not to be able to work. On Thursday, I got better and was able to go to work but whola! I lost my voice. It was like when you have shouted a lot in a concert and the following day you have no voice. But in my case my voice faded because of my cough and colds, I sounded terrible, people had a hard time recognizing me when I talk to them on the phone. It was actually hard to talk in the first place. By Friday, I still had cough and colds and my voice is still fading so I decided that it would be best to have complete rest to fully recover. So I called up my lead catechist to tell her I will not be able to help in the Youth camp over the weekend then I called up one ofmy best girlfriends to cancel our shopping-dinner date that night.Today, I accompanied my li'l sister to the clinic, she's also down with the flu and it seems I got her infected with my virus. =(
Now we're both quarantined in our condo, trying our best to get well. Hopefully, tomorrow we'll both be fully well.

Rest well. It is all too easy to take our health for granted when we are well.
Personally, I would suspect that you got the cold from some passenger in the plane. After all, it is a very confined space with lots of recycled are.
Thanks, Richard.
Yup, it is highly probable that I or my sister might have gotten it in the plane since we both came from different travels...the good news is that I am well now, the rest I got over the weekend worked, however, for my sister, she is still having fever and her medicine seem to work for the short term so I am getting a bit worried. =(
My reply may be late but always remember to sleep as much as you can if time permits and always drink lots of fluids. I know, motherlike of me, but hey I'd like to take care of my friends as much as I do for my own children. =)
Hope you're doing much better now. ;)
Never too late to hear a warm greeting from a friend. :)
I'm feeling better now indeed.Thanks cosmochick! :)
