So over being sick...
Visit to the doctor again first thing this morning to check on my cough and cos I was out of medicine. I really don't want this cough to be persistent like last year and continue till June again! It's annoying! But I have a feeling this time's different, cos I'm feeling so much more weak than all the other times I've been sick. I'm coughing till my chest and stomach hurt! Can't take it much longer (-_-,)
Today I got anti-biotics and cough medicine again. As with the other doctors in reference to my coughing, this doctor also said he doesn't know what's wrong with me. Haha doomed! Also went for a chest xray to check my lungs =S The doctor contemplated doing a blood test. *phew* he didn't go with that option! I'm not scared of needles, but I am extremely scared of the results!
So the doctor wants the chest xray to see if I have any lung infection. But I've been taking anti-biotics for about 9 days now. So anti-biotics don't work on lung infections?! And IF I do have a lung infection... how do they cure it?! Curious! But I still hope there's nothing wrong. My anti-biotics are for another 3 days. I'm guessing I'll be getting my results by then *sighs* I just want this cough to be gone and regain all my strength!
Actually I was still contemplating whether or not to go see the doctor today. I was going to go to the office and see how I felt first. But coincidentally my car pool driver to work didn't turn up this morning. I was frantically calling up anyone I could, but no one was picking up and the driver's phone was off! By the time I waited and made all the calls, it was already so late.
There was no chance to get a ride from anyone else and taking a train then taxi to my office would've taken 1.5hrs, cost $$$ and I would've been extremely late! And after waiting for so long I started feeling feverish and weak again so by the time I made it up to the train station, I had no choice but to turn around and head home again cos I didn't think I'd make it standing on the train for about an hour. Plus I think I'd be scaring all the passengers with my continuous coughing!
I don't think I've felt this weak all my life! I feel useless! Even the doctor can say "You normally don't get sick, but this time it's really serious"... Nice to know =_="
OMG just remembered! The most stupid thing happened at Civic Centre after I got my xray done, I wanted to go go down in the lift as there were no escalators anyways. For 5 mins I think I stood there watching the lifts go up and down and never stopping at my level to take me down!!! Super irritating! Then the button would just turn itself off! So had to walk all the way down, got out at level 2 and saw my favourite Starbucks!!!
By that time it was 10am+ and I was FAMISHED cos I was awake since 6 and had nothing to eat or drink. But today's run in with Starbucks didn't turn out so well. Man the service there was awful! And the staff overcharged me and was rude when I pointed it out! The Strawberry yoghurt parfait was too runny and my Grande drink looked like a Tall size (but I didn't have the energy to go argue anymore).
I was so angry, I wrote an email to complain to Starbucks and listed down all the horrible acts of service I've experienced so far. But of course also pointed out my favourite outlets. Surprisingly I got an email back! And quite fast too. I thought they would've brushed it under the table, but it seems they DO care what their customers think.
My favourite Starbucks has responded so promptly and professionally on the issues I pointed out and has given me faith to like them as a Company and brand. Not just for their drinks *smug*.
I do admit, I'm somewhat of a customer service personnel's worst nightmare. Well not that bad, but if there is anything not right, I'll write an email in to the company stating why. Especially when a service staff is rude and makes fun of their customers who they just meet. Fair trading and consumer rights are a couple of things that Singapore society is very weak in. Consumers don't have the same rights as in Australia. Stores often take advantage of this I find. *sighs*
Upcoming posts about apps, Apple, mochi, shopping and hopefully not being sick LOL. Goodnight world...
