Because life is like that

Today is my third day staying home due to flu and high fever. Lately it has been affecting me quite often. This year alone I had it thrice and down with 7 days of medical leave. For the past thirty years it was like once every four to five years. What has gone wrong?
Is it sign of ageing? Perhaps it is but I’ve kept to my daily exercises and watch my diet closely. For the past fifteen years, I would only drink a cup of sweetened drink per day and abstain from red meat to a certain extend. My annual medical check up is always good except for my cholesterol level which is slightly on the high side. So what happened then? Ahhhh…..perhaps it’s the occasional smoking. I realized when I smoke I would cough and followed by blocked nose and thus the flu. So smoking could be the culprit. Lets see if this is true.

Last Saturday I was invited to join a day trip to Muar by the Police Co’op for officers who retired in 2008. Its good to meet up with old friends again. Some of them are still in the Force on reemployment and some were doing something else within the Ministry.
The trip of four coaches brought us to the Gersik hot spring where everyone had a “leg spa”. The water was so hot that if you are not careful may end up with “soup kaki”.
We then headed for lunch at a fruit farm and end our meal with the king of fruits, the durian. Ahhh… this could also be the contributing factor to my fever.
After lunch it was shopping at Jusco Tebrau and dinner at Senibung Seafood Restaurant. We reached home at 2300 hrs tired but enjoyed.

Last week 7th July was my birthday. We celebrated it in the sky on the Singapore Flier. It was a bit irony though as I was afraid of height. Anyway I managed to endure the fear through out the thirty minutes. I guessed no one notice it. hehehehe
