For 2 days now, I’ve had no voice. I’d gotten sick steadily since last Monday. What started off with an itchy throat progressively became a sore throat, which has since developed into a full blown hacking cough, complete with my losing my voice.
I’d been conscientiously drinking copious amounts of water since I felt my throat get itchy, and easing the sore throat with Ricola to no result. URGH. I suppose I didn’t exactly help things when I met up with Ming and Xin for a mini Wii party last Friday.
While we’d planned for an evening of Guitar Hero, we had so much fun that our session lasted into the night, and by the time we wrapped up, it was “early” enough to head to the 24 hours McDonalds at Kallang for breakfast. By the time I woke up at 11am to head over to M’s, I’d lost my voice completely, and am reduced to raspy whispers.
I wouldn’t mind bearing with being sick so much, except that Lady Gaga is in town tonight for a special 1 night only showcase, to which F so amazingly got Mei Mei and I tickets to. But of course, with my continuous coughing, it just wasn’t going to be polite for me to attend the showcase. And so I had to begrudgingly give up my ticket, and told Mei Mei to go with a friend instead.
If I had any remaining voice left, I would scream blood. Le sigh. I hope everyone had a better weekend than I did.
