Boo's sick


Poor Boo.... He has tonsillitis again. This is his 2nd time in this year already. The last time he got it was a week before we went to the States. He had fever right to the day we left for Chicago and we were so afraid that we might not be able to make it for the trip. He only got better by the time we reach LA.

Now, in less then 3 months, he fired up again. This time he didnt have the priviledge to stay at home to rest. He is super short-handed. His partner is still in Taiwan. Most of the time he has to tend the shop alone at Marina Square because he doesn't want Peggy to to tend the shop alone, scared she xin ku. So last wednesday, he started having sore throat then he immediately tried all ways to prevent himself of heating up by drinking bottles and bottles of water and super bitter liang teh. He also avoid all the heaty food at all cost. But it didn't help. By thursday, he started having fever already. It was National Day and all the stupid nuisance at Marina Square made him so pissed off that it had worsen his conditions.

Friday, he went to work with fever but he didnt dare to tell his family. Saturday,I went down to The Central branch to help full day. He had to serve customers, make beverages and prepare simple foodstuff. He grabbed rest whenever he can and I try to help as much as possible. His mum and aunt came so he had to act as if he is ok. Later that evening, he still insisted on sending me home. I made him take a cab later as he refused to let me send him back instead! Very stubborn!

Then on sunday, he finally went to see a doctor, whom prescribed him the same medicine which is a 10-day course antibotics, lozenges and an inhaler? It had triggered his asthma a little. He still went to work because Peggy is off on that Sunday. I rushed down to help him and he still refused to let me go cos he knows I have to be at home to accompany my mum but I sneaked out never-the-less.Oops! Lucky I went down ok, when I reached there he was curled up shivering in the kitchen. His fingers-tips are all purplish already! Sibeh Chams leh. Sick still cannot go home cos not one working. Haiz.... Sibeh heart-pain....

Many people I know takes MCs so ever easily... Like don't feel like working will take MC. I am sure you will say things like...He's the boss mah... It's his business mah... If he is not responsible, he would have cancelled all the staffs' off days and also make them work alone. And because of this business, he gave up alot of things, suffered set-backs after set-backs and lost lots of time. He gained some valuable experience though. I am very proud of him and I will always be there to help him and to support him.

Boo at better times.
