Tuesday, March 21, 2006sick sick sick sick sick
ytd was orientation 2's first day.and before i woke up,i felt cold all over and was shivering in the aircon.
but it's the first day of orientation and first day i am going to get to know my CT..i'm going to stick to for the rest of my 2yrs!i felt groggy but overall still in an OK state.
so i shuffled to school after taking panadols.(felt weak + blisters)
felt normal when i reached school and after watchin the evolved Projact-X skit,we proceeded to the MPR for mass-dancing.phew.after sweating it out,i felt energetic and revived!
but after that,when we went for lunch,i think the medication started to wear off and i started feeling cold all over again and lost my apetite.but nevertheless,i continued the rest of the orientation--games
the first game was Fortress Game.we are to be split into 2groups and run to the opponent's "Fortress",use the water gun to shoot down the opponent's drink cans.but in the process,if we're tapped by the opponent,we're supposed to "freeze" until our teammates come & rescue us.aha.i was the first to reach the opponent's fortress.being small and short and "unnoticeable".eventually,our team won!(:
next was the Logic Gates game.where we have to sit facing the opponent team,sole touchin sole.first pair to run across everyone's legs and then behind & back to their original sitting position.the first team to complete wins.we were 2nd.but ohwells.the cheerin part was fun & seeing everyone put in all their efforts to run fast was really spirit-lifting.
den it's the scissors-paper-stone game where the aim is to get to the opponent's end.in order to do so,we have to sit on the chair at each end and glide across without liftin our butts off the chairs.den when the 2people meet,they'll play scissors paper stone and the winner gets to continue the painful journey until he reaches the last chair,which is the opponent's end.
lastly,it's some water game.we are to take turns to fill up a bucket with water,by transferring the water from one bucket to the other,using cups.and we have to go past a hopscotch in the middle.when it's filled,we'll get plastic bags to make water bombs and aim it at a target board.we'll accumulate points accordin to where the water bomb lands.if the waterbomb breaks,we get the points but no extra water bombs.if it doesn't,we can reuse it.we score 3160 i think.
overall the day wasn't bad besides the facts that:
-i had fever
-my CT is one where most pple stayed on and most girls gimme the feeling that "i-can-be-nice-to-you-but-i-want-to-stick-to-my-old-friends"
take for instance,durin the fortress game,adeline & cheryl (originally from 0631) den me & joanna(new to the class & 2nd intaker) were sittin side by side.den we were split into 2 groups.adeline1,cheryl2,me1,joanna2.den adeline said to joanna "hey,do u mind swopping with cheryl so we can be together & u can be with carmen?" (joanna's my pri sch schoolmate btw)
i was thinkin,"what the hell,cant u just make friends and mix around?"
den NONE of my CT-mates showed me any concern,even if it's some superficial "are u feeling alright?" except joanna & some guys.ROARS.
during lunch,our class was split into 3tables:the girls.the newbies.the guys.
even the OGLs,who were supposed to bond the class together and act as a bridge between the "original" people & the "new" people,werent doing their jobs.they were just sitting their,playing Ji-Go-Pak with the "original"girls.
and sad to say,the only OGL that talked to me is someone who's not from this class originally too.den the 2new cedar girls hung out amongst themselves, so were the AMK-TPJC newbies.i was feeling really tired & cold & disheartened by the scene i just sad their stoning.. & smsed jiaxin how much i missed CT0612.
felt so miserable.
den when we were playin the last game,some new intakes were moanin & sayin they wanna go home & they dont wanna play the game & was saying things like they'll just hide behind and watch.
i was SO irritated.
i was thinkin "HELL-O?can u see how sick i am?and i'm participating.what's so wrong with you this not-so-fit-but-in-pink-of-health-person?"
-GROWLS-
during debriefing in the I-Space,i felt like dying.it was so cold i was shivering.den my entire face was
RED.
the debrief took forever and we were dismissed 15mins later than scheduled time.i staggered home after that.it felt like forever too when i was staggering home.and i was walkin in front of adeline & gang..they didn't even say a simple "Bye" to me.what heartless freaks.
through the entire day,jia xin was the only one from 0612 who knew about my condition.
and she showered me with care & concern.my nice mummy -beams-
she makes me smile from within.
she's always there for me.
my best friend version NY 2.0. LOL.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
i almost thought i couldn't make it home.took me temperature. -gasps-
it's 40.19 dgc!!!
i nearly fainted when i saw the reading.felt like chopping my head off cuz it was BURNING.
normal tap water felt like ice to me.
u can imagine how bad it was.
i was weak-kneed & staggered to the clinic with my mum accompanying me to the clinic.
-wince- it's not open.
went back home,took panadols and slept for 2hours..till about 6plus 7.
den had some soup for dinner & went down to visit the doctor.
he said i've some lymph gland infection.which explains for the dry-cough & itchy-throat & fairly high temperature for neck & above.but neck & below was only rather warm.
was given 2days MC and if i dont recover by thurs,i'd probably have to be hospitalised.
>.<
