when one is sick..
one looks for someone else to offer something...
be it comfort...
advice...
or just simply a cup of warm water...
just so...
one can feel better...

a pat on the back...
a 'are u feeling better?'
a '加油!'
a concerned look...

anything..really...
to know that someone does care...

and so, while one was feeling indignant abt the lack of common sense
and flexibility in handling illnesses from certain people...
one is really grateful for all the encouragement and concern from everyone else...

even though one feels really sick now...
and one knows MC is not a possibility...
the little words of care and concern..
and the few pats on the back and smiles to cheer one up..
really helped to make one feel less clogged and more alive....

one will try to get better...
and stay healthy....

one has just taken something for the clogged nose..
and one is feeling tired and drowsy

and one really miss nobody when one is sick...
because...
nobody is so huggable...
and one really needs a hug now...
