1. The flu bug
We've been hit 3 rounds in the past 2 months. The first was most serious where everyone had high temps for at least 3-4 days each. The later 2 were not so bad, slight fevers but a long bout of runny noses and sore throats. And it's not over yet.
So drink lots of water and get lots of rest, all ye people.
2. The mossies
During the day it must be at least 40C, we're all just melting even by sitting under the ceiling fans. Everyone is sweating bucketfuls. Eczema alert! I dread to imagine how much worse it must be for HL who is in his aircon-less hall, in that thick thick, DARK-coloured uniform.
The bloodsuckers are out, attacking the kids especially, and ME. Everyone except my parents, who have gone to cool, cool Genting for another casino trip. Oooh... I am SOOOO envious. Wish I can go back to Penang for another round of pigging out.
Landed property tends to be better feeding grounds for mosquitoes, since fogging is less conscientiously carried out by the equivalent of "town council", and being nearer to the ground, easier for 'em suckers to reach.
And I seem to have lost my packet of anti-mossie patches. BUGGER!!!
