10 Feb 09 - I Fainted! finally!!

hey people i had a NEW experience today! totally scary yet awesome.. ahaa
i FAINTED! yes, you read it correctly i fainted! for the first time in my life, i actually experience what it feels like to faint.. my knowledge on fainting is from Jen who was always 'faint-able' during bus rides.. finally my first-hand experience of fainting!

last night i was not feeling well, yet being stubbornly 'strong', i was still trying to pull myself up for morning prayer meeting and work.. then something tells me to let it go, just rest for today.. hence i am on medical leave today, due to some flu virus.. *you people better take care!* the whole of my shoulders and neck ache so much i can hardly turn my head, let alone the bad cough that's irritating my nose and throat. Cos of my medical history, i never try to underestimate a simple cough - cough can be my deadly trigger.. . seen doc, took medicine and went to sleep for 7hrs straight!

the moment i woke up, i knew i was still not feeling very well.. tried to get to kitchen for my dinner.. then i saw some lights.. at first they were just stars.. just bright small lights around.. then as i pressed on, walking slowly.. the lights got bigger.. then i saw this iris-shaped light.. so bright!.. then i collasped.. i know i've fallen, onto the floor.. i heard a 'thump' sound before i realised my mum was slapping me back to consciousness... so that is what if feels like to be fainting!! wow! what a new experience!! (i was just telling my friend that i dun have 'pre-sickness' sympton, ie fever, headache; when i'm sick i really sick it all out! i am so happy i fainted.. ahaha.. )

when i am able to sit up, after all the Milo drink and sugar, i laughed.. i really laughed and told my mum it's so fun.. *my mum was really worried* you should see her face as she scolded me being 'crazy'.. dont worry.. i'm ok now... feeling much better.. dont' worry, ya? be happy for me, cos i just had my FIRST EXPERIENCE of fainting! awesome!
