I will always remember the trip I made to the zoo in 1988. It was then that I caught measles from one of my friends, Peter, who had gone along too. Before he met us at the zoo, he had gone to visit his cousin who was recovering from measles. The next day, Peter was complaining of a sore throat, a bad cold and high fever. When he was diagnosed by a doctor as having measles, his parents rang me up to warn me that I had been exposed to measles too. By the next day,  I was also showing/having the same symptoms. My doctor advised me to stay at home for the next two weeks.

I was quite pleased with the doctor's instruction. I spent the time reading storybooks, listening to music and watching television. When I get bored, I would call up Peter, who also had to spend two weeks at home, for a chat. Unfortunately, the two weeks passed too/by quickly. When we returned to school, we had to work twice as hard to catch up with our classmates. It was definitely not worth the 'holiday'.
