Just came back from an exhausting trip to Genting Highlands. An interesting trip indeed where I was sick all the way till now … I was not feeling well a few days before my trip but with medication I was feeling better so I went ahead to accompany my mum and aunt for a short trip. I thought I could have a little break but I was actually breaking myself up.
It was not fun to travel in a cold highland area in my condition. I could not breathe well , down with a high fever, sore throat, cough and flu. All these erupted to a full blast only when I was there. I was giddy, in a zombie like state, still trying to shop and eat despite the discomfort. We had buffet, Japanese food etc. but I did not have an appetite, all the food taste bland to me and I wanted to puke. I was high on pills, oops … medication. I managed to catch a pretty cool show of flamboyant dancers, magic shows and special acts. Inconsiderate people who floated rules and smoked in restricted mall’s area made me felt even more sick and I lost my voice totally. It was usually good to escape from the heat in my country to a cooler place but this time it was rather painful to be in such weather and mountain altitude.
The worse was during the night. I went to bed early around 1am+ yet I could not sleep despite being exhausted. My body was heating up and aching. I felt like banging myself to the wall to ease the pain. Finally managed to get some sleep and felt a little better. We have to travel 45 minutes by vehicle down the highlands, I puked and was all groggy (I thought I was better but I was not.) Silly me. I will make sure I am fit for travel next time than to suffer throughout the journey. Right now, my voice is slightly back but I am still running a temperature …
