last thursday, I went sun tanning with boon kiat. but it only lasted for an hour for me.
after tanning the front side for about an hour. i got into the water to rinse off the sand, before continueing to tan the back-side. but this is when things started getting so wrong. right after i stood up, my head started to spin. fell back down to the sand and froze there for about 2 mins, before i was able to regain back my balance. so i got into the water, thinking everything was fine, but after a minute or so, i began to feel worse. Went back up to shore, sat under the shelter for a while, and the next place i went... the toilet.. vomitted out everything i ate.. including white foam.. =s got a bit freaked out. so we decided to call it a day.
After washing up, we grabbed a bite at harbour front food court, before rushing down to sgh, as my dizzy spells got worse.

after the check-up, the doctor told me that i might have caught some flu virus which will actually to feel 'unbalanced' at times.. and that i am having high blood pressure at bp160/80. god knows what it means. i just know its high.

anyway. here's the follow-up...

for the next few days, i was feeling much better. I even went to work on fri and sat. but tonight, things didn seem so right. went to kbox with sherwin. was really singing at the top of my lungs. I didnt know that I can sing so high pitch.. but that's not the point. we sang till around 1158pm, before sherwin realised it was almost time the last bus was going to depart. so we went off and eventually made a dash for the bus interchange. Its been so long since i have ran that fast. after bidding goodbye with sherwin, I got onto the last bus, which so happen to almost depart when i reached the interchange. got onto the bus.. and that was when things started getting so wrong again.. felt my heart beating so fast and was finding it rather hard to breathe. next, the bus started to rock like captain's jack's pirate ship.... and so for the whole journey on the bus, i practically froze there in my seat.. staring at the space blankly.. and there was this awful stench in the end which added onto my misery. then.. after getting off the bus.. that's when the horror started.
the road home seemed so impossible. my body started to go weak. my legs were wobbly. my mind was a total blank. all i thought was reaching home.. u know. its like those 'hui kuang fan zhao' thing. not trying to be extravagant.. but it really felt that way.. and the most 'dramatic' part.. was that when i was climbing up the stairs towards my doorstep.. i was like " i finally made it home".. but somehow, the key on my hand slipped off and landed a few steps down the stairs.. i was like "shit.. is it a bad omen that i must die outside my house?".. so i 'wobbled' down the steps and picked up the keys.. and eventually, when i finally slotted the key into the whole and the lock went 'click'... i knew i made it back home.. A sigh of relief....

so i took a cold shower immediately.. and i'm feeling so much better now.. actually not really.. but at least i'm lying on my bed now.. so not much big movements to cause me to spin eh. =) shall see the doc next week to get my bp checked again as advised by the doc the other day.. and ms tay.. i will watch my diet lah... =)

i'm so afraid that i might follow in my father's footsteps.. that one day, i might just never wake up from my sleep again...

- sick.
