It has finally been a week since hell has broken loose. I am referring to that damn chicken pox of mine. For those who hasnt got chicken pox (at my age), please do get the chicken pox vaccination. It's no fun getting chicken pox at my age because there's more blisters, more serious and higher risk of complications. Not only that, it's no fun staying at home for 2 weeks, counting down to the day when you finally become non-contagious. These past 1 week, I have got great frens who showed lotsa concern for me esp Jul who called me to remind me not to scratch, and frens who msn me and sms me to take care and of cos, frens who gave me very shocked responses. "What? You haven got chicken pox yet?!"

Tomorrow shall be my last day of quarantine at home. And I will be out on Wednesday! The recovery was much faster than I expected. Thanks to the anti-viral drugs, acyclovir. It's super bloody expensive, costing $1/tablet and I have taken 50 of that tablets, 5 times each day at regular intervals. It's a pain to swallow tablets after tablets each day. Besides that, I was suffering from side effects the first few days. Extreme dehydration (drink so much but no pee!), weakness and tiredness. I am suffering more from the dehydration more than the itchness. But it's all worth it. I got fewer lesions in the end. Unfortunately, I broke some of my blisters (on my back) while trying to sleep. Argh! Ugly chicken pox scars.

I cant wait to go out. Really. I have not touched meat for quite some time. Everyday, I have been eating like Ah Ling. Veggies only. Sad eh? Actually I can eat anything except Seafood and dark soya sauce. But my mum refused to let me eat meat to play safe. Argh. I can only drool when I watch TV's food programmes. Boo.
