When Chicken Pox Pays A Visit : Bless In Disguise.

Posted in Uncategorized on November 10, 2009 by Shahrill Ramli

I never get chicken pox, measles or smallpox all my life. But suddenly, during this last part of my KPLI course- during the KISSM Induction course, I contracted with the viral disease- chicken pox; which most probably contracted from my nephew, Rifqi.

The boils now are starting to spread all across my body and MY FACE! I was so scare that I will be forced out from this course; it would be a waste for me if I were to be forced out from the course just because of this infection. I was told that the outburts of these boils can be around 3-4 days. Today, I went through my first day with the boils all on my face. I felt like a leper or a person with a bad acne. But in a way, I was a bit curious about the idea of a person with bad acnes; it has been a long time since I last have acne-problem (which was a major problem back in high school). So I guess in a way, this experience is to humble myself, Insya Allah.

I am so thankful that I have devoted parents and caring coursemate- Science 1. They tried to react like it was nothing but for precaution, I warned them not to mingle much with me. They tried their best not to make me feel secluded and even pre-apologize if they would have to distance themselves away from me due to the disease. It really touches me that these people are so caring towards me. I am sure going to miss them after this… *sad*

There will be another 2 days before the weekend! I anticipate the weekend so much so I can rest. I hope I can go through this course without any other external interference.. I pray to God SWT to protect me so taht I can complete this course. And it’s amazing that you will know who are your friends in time like this. I believe that everything is a bless in disguise by Allah SWT. To my Science 1 mates; thanks for the moral support – Raymond, Kak Yus, Diana and Sarah... I appreciate that very much. And to Ayah and Mak, thank you very much for everything..*hugs*
