The Smell of Freedom

Yeah~ Another exam. My fourth General Elective. The "Real" holiday awaits. The smell of freedom!

This morning, when the sky was still a dark dark blue, when the sun had yet to rise. I had already started to embark on my journey to the west. To fight for my freedom!

Just when I thought everything will be smooth, the pain at my head-&-neck became more severe. The pain was felt when I woke up from my short-nap (I got too high the previous night, and couldnt sleep... for some unknown weird reason that I have no idea about). Headache/ neck ache/ shoulder ache has never been new to me... so I thought that the pain is bearable and "okay~".

But on the train, the pain become worst, and abdomen felt churning and blotted, and I feel like Vomiting! I don't want to vomit in the train!!! And this time, the mrt is no where near Boon Lay. I gave up revising for the exam, and rested, with tissue paper on one hand, and plastic bag on another, preparing for the worst to happen.

"Next stop: Chinese Garden"..... " Lakeside"..... "This train is terminating at Boon Lay..."

You cannot imagine how excited I was to arrive at Boon Lay. I rushed out, and found my way to the toilet... tried vomiting, but a failed attempt. I then continue my journey to school. At the same time, messaged H to bring me Panadol or 保济丸. I was definitely glad I reached the school.

When I reached school, the pain continued, but the vomiting sensation slowly fade off. Deep inside, I prayed silently (to dunnoe who also) for countless number of time, that if anything is to happen, let it happen after my exam. I dun want to retake another time. I took a panadol, and go ahead with the exam, of course, carrying with me the plastic bag (just in case I vomit).

Thank god! I finished the exam without feeling much pain or vomit.

After the exam, I went to the medical center to see doctor. Dots! The doc gave me so lame advice.... "put a hot pack on your neck". Apart from that, I was given drug for dizziness and vomit. (I can also be a doctor le... ) Nothing was said about what happened, the underlying reason, and why I "almost" fainted the other day.

Nevermind... I am feeling better after resting. Oh! Thank you H for the life-saving Panadol and JB for waiting for me to see doc and driving me to Jurong Point. Me arrived home safe and sound!
