Sick and All about it

Assalamualaikum wbt
All praises to Allah the Almighty and His Messenger

Sickness.
It is true indeed when people said money is not everything.
Health is indeed wealth and money is no wealth.
Let me share my own personal experience with you.

Recently, very very recent, I fell ill.
It started with dizziness and high fever.
Then, the other symptoms came and worsen a bit.

It happened on the most awaited week in my whole life.
The week I had my CONVOCATION CEREMONY.
Yup, Allah SWT has better plans indeed.

It is a lie to say that I was too busy with work or too busy with other matters that my mind slipped about my convocation day. Never.
I am the type of person who remembers my own birthday, my own puasa days, my own special occasion dates etc. So, yes, like most normal graduates-to-be, I am super excited and super happy waiting for THE day.
I applied my leave as early as I can to get approval and yes, it was approved.
But, not just for the Monday of my ceremony, but for the whole coming two weeks after my convo ceremony.

I first fell ill on Sunday. It was the day my classmates and I had our pre-convo celebration and photoshoots. I couldn't eat even a little food, despite all others saying how tasty the foods were. With the spaghetti, sandwiches, cakes, brownies even flags and some deco were seemed not right in my eyes.

I then went to get my robe, and that was when I had my first vomit. After that, I thought I felt a lil better. So, we had our photoshoots and all. After the photoshoots, we wrapped-up everything and cleaned up. Then and there, the dizzy came back. And I think my body felt a bit hot.

Driving back and sadly unable to join my little cousin 4th birthday because upon reaching home, I already felt like having a fever. To cut the story short, I went to the doctor that night, get medicine and ok, believing that this was just a normal fever.

But, it got weird.
I started to feel nausea. And I lost my appetite to eat and to drink. Every time I eat or drink even a little, I vomit. And worst, when it was late at night plus dawn, my body temperature felt like it was at its peak. So hot that I couldn't sleep. So it was nausea+high temperature at night.

My mama then told me to go for a blood test as my fever did not show signs of cooling down. I went to the hospital three times, for three blood tests for them to at last, ward me.
I was not delighted or excited to be warded, but that was whats best at that moment.
I can't eat anything without vomiting. My stomach was empty. My head hurts. I started to have diarrhea. So, I was a little glad that I was dripped. At least, there was water intake for my body.

And yes, all these symptoms are Dengue symptoms. If you had almost similar, do go for a blood test. And drink a lot of WATER. That's the medicine for dengue.

And so, there goes my so-called convocation, once in a lifetime, most awaited moment. Nevertheless, I am still thankful. At least, I did still able to go to my ceremony. And alhamdulillah I am getting much much better now.
Already started working and slowly recovering.

So readers, take good care of your health. You would never know.
And yeah, you, Wednesday did failed.
Until later :)

English for Professional Communication

Assalamualaikum wbt All praises to Allah SWT and His Messenger Greetings readers! As stated above, in this entry I would like to share about the course that I am taking at present. It is a course from the Academy of Language Studies at Universiti Teknologi Mara(UiTM). It is very rare to find people that know about this course. Dialogue 1 A: Eh, what are you studying now? Me: English for Prof Comm A: ...........??? So, what is that actually? Dialogue 2 A: Anyway, what are you taking now? Me: Language studies A: Oh.. TESL eh. Me: ....................... or very very very rare, Dialogue 3 A: What course did you take? Me: English for Prof Comm A: Ohh..ok. As you see, this course is not as popular as others like law, engineering, medicine, dental, education and others, which everyone knows of. But, it is a fun and interesting course to learn. Believe me. And if you are really good in English, which I am still working on t...

CNY

Assalamualaikum wbt. All praises to Allah SWT and His Messenger. Its already a week after Chinese New Year celebration, around a week after the exact day if I'm not mistaken. At this very moment, I am not alone. The non-stop rhythm of the fire crackers accompany me upon writing this entry :) Chinese New Year, yes. It is among the yearly celebration that I enjoy. Even though I am not a Chinese nor have a Chinese family members, but they are my friends and neighbours. I remembered waking up to a very very loud drum and cymbals sounds several years back. It was from a lion dance at a neighbour's house. It was a great feeling. Woke up to the sound, peep through the window, then rush downstairs and towards the celebrating house. I can't remember brushing my teeth, but I do think I did brush them. So anyway, at that moment, it was the first LIVE lion dance that I have seen from near, in my life. It was fun as I actually experienced the moment. I also remembered watching ano...

Three more days...

Assalamulaikum wbt All praises to Allah SWT and His Messenger. Woke up this morning to a neck ache and self-made sickness , despite sleeping early, quite early for a person who have a lot of work to do and who should stay up and do more before sleeping, I am not proud of myself. *aduhai. It is the final week of lecture before study break for us here. It seems bearable but, I don't know, unbearable at times. Yesterday, before sleeping, I know I am able to face this, I know I am able to finish everything till the last. But, waking up today, I kind of having a different opinion about things. I woke up thinking of the past years question's presentation that we have to present later today. Thinking am I able to provide sufficient answers and elaboration and example,.................................and whether everything will be just fine as usual. Wondering where to start on Organizational Behavior's task too. Questionnaire first or characteristics. Then, remin...
