You know you're sick when you start coughing a chesty productive cough that sounds like you're drowning. You know you're feverish when you feel both hot and cold and have the body aches.
You know you're feverishly sick when, addicted to the 'net and withdrawn over the weekend, you suddenly find that the backlog of blog updates and emails (and uploading photos from the Music Camp trip) doesn't seem important anymore and all you want to do is stay in bed with the fan blowing to keep you cool.
Sporeland weather was HOT as usual - so much so that the moment we step out of any air-conditioned place we start sweating automatically. By the second day there our jeans started chafing, badly. By the third day we were going out of our mind whatwith the nonstop sweating and the chafing, and was already beginning to cough and sneeze.
Thankfully for us, on the third day salvation came in the form of the Chief.
The Chief had reason to be down in Sporeland too, and met up with us at Bugis after the Music Camp activities were over. Chief even had a surprise for us too - bought us a nice t-shirt as a gift (no, not a NUM tee tho'). After warning the Chief that the past few days have made us rather irrational, we both headed to shop for shorts for us (we really needed to get out of those jeans at that point). By dinner, we were certainly feeling much better. Being with the Chief certainly did do wonders for our constitution.
Of course on the return trip back yesterday the fever took a turn for the worse, and we spent the entire trip back sleeping at the back of the bus (as a heavy sleeper, the noisy kids didn't bother us) and popping Panadol Cold & Flus. The Chief had arrived back earlier yesterday, and at 11pm thereabouts texted us to tell that we have herbal tea and guilinggao sitting on our fence...
Thank goodness we woke up at 4am to read that text, then hurried down to retrieve them. If left till next morning we could just picture mum finding them with a puzzled look and dumping them into the rubbish bin grumbling about the neighbours.
Thing is, we have been feeling better, and much sooner than expected too. :)

Awwww....
so sweet...
I had Guilling Gao with ice cream yesterday though...
Yay to feeling better and yay to herbal cures and the Chief! You -did- look better this afternoon (even though you shouldn't have been out, yeesh, and you hit -me- with the plastic bottle for not eating lunch?)
Oh yeah. SLEEP. :P *ducks since, y'know, 2.17am, when not-feeling-well-assassins should really be in bed*
S4's Regina down sick, latest sms from her, and an AAAAGH. Aiyo, this epidemic.

Awwww. So de sweet one~~~

You drown yourself drinking water while flooding your toilet with your hot piss. That should do it. :)
Jean chafing - ouch! :S
Super sweet!
2 jabs of "The Chief" and one is cured! :P
I thought laughter is the best medicine. ;p
The Chief is terrifically caring. Happy to hear that you are feeling better.
Wow...that's really something. Awesome Chief! :)
Hebatnya Chief's remedy :p
REALLY needed to get out of those pants. I know how you feel, bro.
For your info, everyone, Janvier is an ultra humble and sweet guy too, not mentioning the fact that he has also gotten me a tin of cookies from The Cookie Museum in Singapore (and this is just one of the many sweet things that he has done) ;-)
The chief is so sweet! Wish I had someone so sweet too. Anyway, I am enjoying my 3-month stay here in Japan, so I don't want any annoying thoughts to spoil my enjoyment here.
Glog: That's a first. Normally we have our guilinggao with honey.
Shuku: Well we did have plenty of sleep. You need that, too!
QR: We try not to, very leceh. :P
Hrugaar: Yes, ouch!
William: Probably need one more jab. :P
Little Dove: Laughter is good too!
Burnt Toast: The Chief is awesome. :)
Jason: Yah, hebat betul. :)
Savante: We shan't skimp on packing!
The Chief: If we are sweet, that would make you dangerously diabetic. :P
David The Man: Enjoy your time in Japan!
