I have been busy lately. Not with work, but with studying. I somehow got myself into a course which will lead to an exam in mid July. And to add to that, it is a some sort of a law exams. Only received my notes about 3 weeks ago and have been trying to understand the legal jargons it came with.
Not sure if it is relating to my new found stress, I have been experiencing dizzy spells lately. How would I describe the feeling. Its like when I have drunk a lot and suddenly stood up, and suddenly feel the room spinning. Not that I would faint or anything, but it is best to sit down or stand very near the wall. Although, I’m convinced it some random thing my body churns out every now and then. KL is sure that it is the stress of studying. I googled and found that I have been experiencing “vertigo”, which is a feeling that the room is whirling around. But after reading more into the dizzy spells, it seemed more than likely that I might be suffering from “Labyrinthitis“
Yesterday, while sitting in my office, I had a severe attack of Labyrinthitis. I closed my eyes, held my head and prayed I would collapse. My colleague stared at me from her desk. After that episode had passed, I told her about it. She too recently experienced that and that my SM (Senior Manager) passed her his medication and it went away. Apparently, they both suspect its the conditioning of the office building since it is always renovating - Bad air leads to stuffed up noises which causes congestion on the sinus which affects the inner ear. Hmmm… everything made sense.
This morning, feeling all lazy and very very ‘nua’, I chuck in a sickie. Hehee.. Called my colleague and told her that I not coming in, she made me promise that I would see a doctor for my condition. I have been trying to get an appointment to see any general practitioner. Its freaking fustrating coz the bloody medical system here is that you have to make an appointment to see the damn doctor. And, all the 5 clinics I called, the earliest appointment they can see me is on Friday. Craps! I have to wait 2 days to see that bloody doctor? Wah lau! What if I am dying? Too bad, got to make appointment!
Anyway, since my company do not require me to produce a MC, I made an appointment to see a doctor on saturday. So, after nearly 3 months of full time employment, I’m sitting at home on a weekday afternoon, blogging. KL would just kill me.
I really miss my weekday afternoon, sitting in my bath robe, eating my porridge for lunch and sipping tea with Oprah on telly. But unfortuately, I have to hit the books after this post. I had massive amount of notes and what not to read and reference. Even my office issued me a trolley bag to lug my notes around. Even though, I could barely zip my 3 fat ring files in.
My SM who recently just return from his holiday, saw me yesterday coming into work with my trolley bag, he actually asked, “are you going somewhere?”. He ain’t joking!! Then I opend my bag to show him my notes, he started going hysterical and in his most american accent said, “This is insane! They can’t make you study all these?”
I am trying to study hard and do well. But it’s hard because the passing rate is super low - the highest was 51% passing rate.
I somehow just discovered my biggest phobia - EXAMINATIONS!!! Ask anyone of the gruesome threesome (GL, BS or KL) and they will tell you why.
