Throat infection.

Woke up in the morning feeling feverish (though praise God, no more gastric :)). Was downing bottle after bottle of water in the hope I'll be well enough to go for class at 12, but at 11+ decided that, with the fever still persisting, I'd better stay home, rest, and concentrate on getting fully well rather than trying to keep tahaning at 50%. So Kor gave me a lift to Corporation Clinic (now known as IM Medical Services...well, fortunately they still have my old medical records), thankfully it was open (it closes for lunch at 12.30pm, was there around 11.40am).

So like the good doc said, throat infection. Was quite surprised by the prognosis actually, thought that the ache in my throat was due to the antacids I took for the gastric attack (cos antacids can dry the throat that way). Fever was 36.9deg, not that high I think. But well, was given a course of antibiotics, along with the usual paraceptamol for the fever and headache. I was honestly considering not to start on the antibiotics though - cos I didn't want the germs to become resistant to the flu due to dependency on antibiotics instead of letting my immune system combat it (of course, I didn't take paraceptamol - that one's even worse. Didn't want it to build up in my system). But decided that I'd rather get well sooner, especially with so many things happening these few days, and so many things to be done.

Well, have been sleeping for most of the afternoon, while still drinking heaps of water. Fever still here (plus the headache), but hopefully it'll be gone by tomorrow. Don't wanna oversleep too - the feeling of the hangover ain't nice.

Good thing about being 'bedridden' is that I finally could catch up on some reading (forced myself not to touch my laptop in the afternoon, so that I won't think of my work for the time being. Stress won't help right now :)). Finished the book "Even Greater" by Reinhard Bonnke. Man it was such an inspiration, and the thing I love about it is that R. Bonnke has such a down-to-earth, personal style, you can imagine yourself there right with him, witnessing all these miracles and divine interventions. Not only so, his humility and constant acknowledgement and awareness that all power (omnipotence and omniscience) comes from the Lord simply shines through, and rather than being a book glorifying the human author, R. Bonnke effectively puts the spotlight on God - which makes it even more powerful.

Truly, I yearn for something greater, to move in the supernatural so much (as an agent of God's omnipotence and omniscience) that the supernatural becomes - super natural! And it's a lie of satan to say that that day is tomorrow - today are the last days, and God promised to pour out His Spirit on all flesh, that sons and daughters will prophesy, young men will see visions, old men will dream dreams... and we'll do even greater things than Jesus Himself did. And I believe that day is NOW! So impt to keep both eyes fixed on what is unseen, for those things are eternal... to see beyond the now into the future, to see beyond the earthly into the heavenlies, to see beyond the physical into the spiritual!

Alrighty, shall go prepare for uni tomorrow, and then go spend time with Him.

It is well!
