Sickness sucks

I've just reached the lowest point of the year. I just vomited part of my dinner during one of my coughing spasms. URRRGH.

This is a bad year, health-wise, for me. I've never been so sick since I was what, 12? I had started to take my health for granted. So it is truly a rude shock to see my health going away. And I'm starting to wonder why.

Maybe I have not been exercising as regularly as before, and eating rich food. Or maybe my schedule is becoming more and more hectic. I'm doing later nights, I have busier weekends, I do activities out in the sun very often. When I exercise, I really go all out. But I've always lived by the mantra that we should just push ourselves. Every time we achieve a certain standard, we should reach to achieve just that little bit more. And if I don't exert myself and push myself harder during exercise, I would stagnate. Then where is the fine line between over-exertion and going that extra mile?

This year, I had coughing spasms for 3 weeks in February, followed by food poisoning in April. Then one week later, I had a cough that went on for 3 weeks.

Then just this Wednesday, I got another strain - I had a fever, and then the coughing started again. And then on Friday, I started getting the "running nose".

Today, as I was taking pictures for the event at Fort Canning, I kept getting the worst coughs. It was really scary and I could feel people shying away or tensing up around me. Who can blame them? I'm really a walking social pariah now. Everyone who has been hanging out with me is getting some flu or other.

Twice today, my food coughed itself back up.

God, please let me be well........
