I had such an enriching weekend, and I fell sick at around 4.30pm yesterday. Just when I got the time to get down to my books, and prepare for the quiz today, I was bugged with flu and sore throat.
I'm not begrudging, not complaining. I let myself rest for 1 hour before I start my fa revision. My head gets real groggy and I have no idea how to go on. I revisited my objective for that night and ensure that I revise through all my revisions before I can sleep.
I wouldn't say the revision was very productive, but I tried to make it to be. Most importantly, I must fulfil my objective before I sleep.
I slept at 10.30pm and woke up at 3.30am, and I started revision again. I know and am aware that who the hell wakes up at such ungodly hours to study? Me, of course. Yes, I'm aware that this is very unhealthy and unwise, especially when I'm not feeling well already. However, I had not much choice. I had to make sure that at least i know the concepts and be prepared enough for the quiz later.
My flu and sore throat just got worse. My head feels heavy and I felt feverish. I decided not to attend Ethics class as I think I wouldnt be able to to last through 7 hours of lessons. Hence, I'm at home.
In the morning at around 9am, one of my friend from internship whatsapped me that his mother just passed away from cardiac arrest. It is a sudden departure for him. I'm definitely sure it is alot for him to take. I am concerned over how he is to cope over the departure of his loved one, and thought of ways to encourage him. I told him,
"You must stay strong and firm."
I am sorry that I will not be able to attend the wake as I'm preoccupied with other things planned already. I do hope to have a chance to meet him up soon to encourage him.
Life's not been easy for everyone. Everyone's struggling with their daily problems. It is important that we all support each other and encourage one another to grit their teeth and move on.
I chanted for 30 minutes in the morning, chanted sincerely that my flu and sore throat can go away when i take the quiz later and especially when I do the home visit later. I have to make every second count.
There are some things that I did today that I'm not very happy with, like slacking my time away, taking my illness as an excuse for slow revision progress etc. This has to stop. I'm determined to tackle on such flaws in myself from this moment on. If I cant even handle my own problems, I wont be expected to help other people with their problems. This definitely has to stop.
Renew your determinations everyday and do your best to create value in your life and other people's lives. How meaningful a life can be if all that you are going after is only for yourself right?
I have a home visit tonight. My member is going to have his exams soon and I hope I can do my part to at least know how he is doing and chant together with him.
As for myself, I have to rush a few work after I come back from the home visit later for a client meeting tomorrow. With that said, this shall be my blog entry to pen down my thoughts.
Hope you have a great monday too!
