These days, have been laying of beds doing nothing. Feeling breathless, restless, fever, flu, cough, etc etc..Every breathe of oxygen is so precious that as if I've never come into contact with oxygen. Feel as if the lungs never have sufficient oxygen.
Days and nights are already indistinguishable. I could stay up the whole night, regardless how u force myself to stick to the bed, the body never response well to the brain's instruction, and the breathless nights enhance the sleepless nights. Day time, the extremely tired body couldn't stand the tiredness, it stuck to the bed like there's no tomorrow. Thus, my friends always tease me that we live at the same region but different time zone!!
When I saw a doctor posted something about respiratory tract infection, I did some research and found myself match a lots of the lower RTI symptoms!! Phewww..hopefully it's not something that I don't wish to happen..:(
Last night, again the body and mind fought the whole night until the body finally surrendered this morning around 7something. Then, 10.50am, the first alarm, the mind dragged the body out of the bed, and pushed it to go to library, to get the super string heater in the library, and hence the mind can at least concentrate a lil in revising for the first paper in a few days time. The body felt like going against the brain, but still due to the consideration of the possible effect that both body and mind will die in the exam hall few days later, the body raised a white flag.
In the library, there's external factor who came to haunt the might and trying to lure the body to sleep as 3 hours of sleep per day is definitely a deep deficit of the body. The sleeping monster (Mara of the mind) trying its best to lure the body, and the mind tried all sort of possible ways to win the war. The mind tried to ask gor help from her best friend (the iPhone),, her good friend (the food), and she even tried to use sneezing as one of the methods to stay awake. Sneezing is a method, funny huh? Yea, sneezing indeed is a good method, as the mode wanted to sneeze, it had to pay extra attention to control the noise made by the sneeze so that the people around wouldnt be affected by the noise, the cautious moments made the mind as well as the body more alert so that it could win against the sleeping monster.
Finally, mind won the war with the help of her buddies. She even realized and learnt a new philosophy of the day, "a ship in a harbour is safe -- but that is not what ships are for", thus the mind continue fighting and hopes that the sleeping monster won't come to haunt again, so that the tired body can stay awake and has a good rest when it reaches home.
