I’ve somewhat gotten better!  But not quite fully recovered yet, though.  >_<;  Still, I’m thankful that I’ve gotten better, thanks to the medicine that the two patient doctors have been prescribing me over at My Doctor’s Place clinic.  My coughing has gotten a lot better; my voice has somewhat returned to normal; and there is a lot less phlegm compared to the previous week.  Now, it’s just an occasional itch in the throat that makes me cough, as well as the feeling of not being able to get enough breath despite breathing in deep all the time.  Hopefully, the situation will improve and I’ll be able to recover fully somewhat soon… well at least I must be fully recovered (101%!) before my next Winter trip to Finland this coming January!  It’s definitely gonna be a lot colder than all my previous trips, so I really can’t afford to be weak!  >_<!

Recently I’ve been busy reading online scanlation of a particular manga series, one genre which I never thought I would be interested in.  It’s quite full of gore (medical surgeries and stuff) and to be honest, some of the panels were quite sick.  But the whole manga managed to stay light, thanks to the mangaka and his main character, who’s a delightfully naive “girl”.  She’s just so endearing!  In any case, if you can stomach gore and is looking for some interesting manga to read, do give Franken Fran a try.  I love the series now, and I can’t wait for the next chapter to be out!  If there’s anywhere in Singapore that sells the English version of this manga, I’ll definitely buy it!

Ever since Starcraft 2 is out (which is just yesterday), I feel that I’m somewhat “boyfriend-less” these two days.  Haha!  I’m not complaining, though!  I know Reko simply love this game to bits and I don’t mind him ignoring me just for the game.  Besides, he didn’t fully ignored me.  He still periodically checked MSN to see if I left him any messages, and will periodically update me when he’s going to get food and stuff like that.  It’s just that we talked a lot lesser these two days, but it’s something that I understand.  XD  Afterall, it was a twelve year wait for him.  :P

Guess I should be heading to bed after this entry.  I shouldn’t be sleeping too late now, as I still need enough sleep to recover faster!

After three courses of antibiotics, three changes made to my cough syrup… I’ve still yet to recover.

Sigh.

Doctor even prescribed me a medicine meant for bronchitis patients – to open up my airway in the hope of easing the phlegm that’s stuck there.  The side effect of that medicine is that… I’ll have heart palpitations.  True enough, I felt my heartbeat going a lot faster after taking that medicine, to the point where I have to reduce the dosage.

Meh… and despite all these, I still have not recover yet.  Dur… :(

I like this theme better.  :D

Not too girly, not too artsy, yet have my favourite colours (purple and pink).

<3

That aside, I’m on 2 days MC.  LOL.  My voice is kinda “manly”, “sexy” and “raspy” now.  Doc said my vocal chords are swollen.  o_O  She specifically reminded me not to strain my voice for these few days… but how do I not strain it when my hacking cough is hurting it more than normal >_>?

Oh well.  At least I’m not coughing that much now, thanks to the cough medicine that she had prescribed for me.  The only side effect is that I’m feeling drowsy for the whole day… or maybe that’s due to lack of caffeine.  :D

Daily direct flights to Helsinki from Singapore with Finnair!

<3

Good news?  You bet!  No more seven hours of transit over at Japan airports!  (Although it meant no shopping for Japanese snacks and Starbucks >_<… but one must learn to sacrifice!  *nods nods*)

That’s probably one of the better news that hit me this week.

Other than that… none, really.  I was so sick on Friday that I lost my voice yesterday and today.  LOL.  Absolutely no voice.  I could hardly manage a croak.  Argh…

On top of that, I’m coughing pretty badly at the moment.  Throat itches so damn bad and it’s hurting too, from all the hard coughing.  Wonder how am I gonna make it tomorrow at work… z_z

And.. guess what?  There’s a pretty nasty ant that bit me on both feet last Tuesday… and the bites got infected.  D:  The bites had gotten so bad that I had to see a doctor and he had to prescribed antibiotics for me @_@!  But I must say it had gotten better really fast after that…  There are still red patches and blotches around the bite areas, but at least the itch is kinda going away and the swell had gone down too.

What a week it had been for me huh.. -_-;  Let’s see if next week would be better… >_>
