friday night fever

yesterday i was feeling really crappy when i woke up.
i had body aches and stuff.
but little did i realise i had a full-on fever until 10 or 11 something at night when i asked my mum if i felt like i had one.
i took my temperature and guess how much it was?
38.9 degrees. haha.
then my mum rubbed me down with a towel and some eucalyptus water.
at first my temperature was still the same.
then i went back to my room and i covered myself coz i was feeling cold, as the fan was right on top of me when i was watching The Gathering.
when i took my temperature again a while after, it was 39.1! haha.
then my mum told me not to cover myself up when i have a fever.
so i put my fan at a lower speed and didn't feel so cold.
well, after that my temperature went down gradually.
i took the extra strong panadol too.
so it went from back to 38.9 to 38.5 to 37.5 to 37.

when i woke up this morn it was still 37.
had a shower in the morning.
after that, moving about and stuff, it went up again to 38.1 when i was watching Cold Mountain.
then i put the eucalyptus water again and it went down to about 37.9 around there i think.

when i went to the docs at the airport, (coz the damned stupid one at siglap was closed! how can you be closed on a saturday!) the doc took my temperature, and it varied with each ear!
left ear - 37.1. right ear - 37.6. haha!
then he told me i had a viral fever but he doubts it's anything like dengue or anything coz i didn't have anything else other than a fever, body aches and a headache.
he said if the fever persists, to come back on monday for a blood test.
i hope i get to take the blood test!
i haven't had a jab in such a damn long time. that would be cool. haha.
yeah i'm weird and insane. but that's me. =)
my medication is pontalon, which is supposed to be stronger than panadol.
well, now it's not too bad. 37.
