About a week before my birthday which is on the 2nd of April, I was hit by fever. The burning fever accompanied by sore throat and body aches lasted for a week. On the fifth day after the fever started, my left ankle started to swell with rash although I had not injured it physically.
I was not bothered by the persistence of fever, I knew I could ride it through, but when the swelling and the rash started with no known reason, I was a little concerned.

The doctor had no idea what's going inside my. He highly recommended me to go to the hospital to have it checked out.
I rushed to the hospital and when my name was finally called to see the doctor... I was admitted in 20 minutes... But later they told me there was no bed in the B-Class wards.
Praise the Lord!!! I was given a free upgrade to an A-class ward. Heh hee hee hee hee!!

In the night, I can see the skyline of the city and the Central Business District.

It has a lounging sofa where I sat and read my book and had my meals while I looked at the view.

They serve 5 meals (of my choice of Chinese, Muslim or Western) a day including morning and afternoon tea.

24 hours of cable TV, free Internet access... But too bad I don't have a laptop, otherwise it would be more cool.
There were times I forgot I was in a hospital, if its not for the doctors and nurses who came and checked on me from time to time, I thought I was in a hotel.
The doctors and nurses are very polite, they greet and introduced themselves at the beginning of every shift, and made sure that patients are comfortable and taken cared of.

My children were asking for me every night, so my lovely wife brought them to visit me on one of the evenings.

But very soon, they also forgot they were in a hospital.
I've been discharged and resting at home for the past few days. Doctor said I'm fine, just a bad allergy reaction to the virus attack... something like that.
A special thanks to all those who came and visited me, also to those that called with well wishes.
It was a good break, a good rest... Maybe God is telling me I worked too hard for the past few months, and I needed a break. But I now know I must have a balanced life style, balanced diet, with lots of rest and exercise.
God bless all of you, may you all have good health.
