my stupid nose has been blocked since monday. i could not differentiate if it was due to the haze or or if it was the symptoms of developing of Flu. Anyway, my nose was "running" yesterday night and it gives me a headache as well. So took some medication hoping everything will turn out fine the next day. However, instead of feeling better when i woke up, i felt worse. However, i dun feel like callling in for MC. Only running nose... dun render a valid reason for taking medical leave. So i have decided to go to work and visit the staff clinic to get medication just in case i need it over the long weekend. The other time i also thought i was alright.. till the end of the day, i developed into a full blown flu and with that ,, i took 2 days mc. So this time, due to the fact that my driving test is round the corner and i still have practices over the weekend, this was not a time to fall sick ,,, and of course,, it will not be good if i could not attend the lessons over the next two days. Surprisingly, i was given 1 day mc... which i pondered for some time if i should take the medical leave. The truth is my mind can still function properly, there's no need to take off from work just that the headache is giving me kinda problem that's all. So in the end, i still took off and slept at home. At least, after the rest, i felt much better and should be able to tide through the rest of next week and hopefully i can pass my driving test.
