Rod Stewart!!!???

Have been having flu and cough for at least a week or so. Got the bug from the office. My boss was down with it then my colleague. Both still came to work despite that. Argh.... The typical Asian thinking, Presenteeism.

I have tried my best in making it go away or other word suppress it for almost 2 weeks with the tonnes of fruits and vegetables and water that I have been drinking. Yet instead of subsiding, it got worst this morning *sobs*.

Went to see the doc this morning. The clinic was packed with people down with cold i think since everyone is looking pale and sniffing or coughing their lungs away, like me. The doctor (quite nice fella, cute-looking like the boy next door kinda look) commented that my voice is now very sexy and I can sing Rod stewart's songs. Very funny... not... I look better than him, my voice is not as rough, have smoother complexion, am younger and prettier and not stick thin. *sticks out my tongue* It's just the dry cough makes my throat a little bit hoarse, not rough, neither croaky as well.. *in denial*

Every cough seems to threaten to break my ribs and burst my lungs and he can still be that humorous. But I appreciate this cute doc trying to make me feel better with his 'freezing' jokes though.

I hope it goes away soon... I'm trying so hard to minimise my speech so I don't pass this bug to others with my aspirate. No.. I'm not one of those who stick by the presenteeism thingie. I would have stayed at home and rested if not for the deadline I have to meet and how my superior would have been absolutely naggy and a bit upset with the fact that I'm sick and have outstanding work to tie up. Sigh.
