food poisoning. yea. that's the doctor's diagnosis.

didn't feel all too good in the morning to begin with. had diarrhea. it kinda went away as the day passed. so i thought i was alright already. so i thought WRONG. my stomach didn't agree with dinner. so, more trips to the loo. hmm. lots of things to learn in there. like, you can hear the blender from my workplace in the toilet if its quiet enough. cool huh? must have come out looking really bad, cos khaizurah, my duty manager, insisted i go home, and leave the work to all the other fellas. anyway, by this point, i could visualise myself in the foetal position, a la the rich evil boyfriend from "The Wedding Crasher" (except that i'm not [a] rich [b] evil [c] attached nor [d] hugging the toilet bowl).

reached home looking half-dead. so i was whisked off to hospital. went through two different doctors who asked me the exact same questions, before they did something about my condition. kena injection to ease what the doctor called 'abdominal spasms'. then spent two hours in the observation room, wringing in pain. the injection wore off after some 40 minutes, and the pain came back. and it came back really hard. somehow, the pain eased towards the end of the 2 hours. and i was allowed to go home. reached home at 2.30, or thereabouts. didn't sleep well the whole night. the pain came back at night. and it woke me up several times during the night.

well. at least, the worst part's over. i reckon. at least, i guess. aiyah. whatever lah. the medicine's really horrible by the way. bleagh. some of the worst medicine i've tasted. yuck yuck!

i heard the crickets at 3:33 pm
