From Feeling Good To Feeling The Food

Hi yo!

It sucks when ya good week ends in a not so good weekend. This week has been not bad, made new friends, caught up with friends over meals and outdoor sports, learnt to drive, got some success with the AIESEC project i'm trying to do. So all in all an alright week.

So irritating that it had to be topped off with one of the worst nights of my life (physically at least). After getting home home last night from the church's kid's ministry, it was a normal meal and then cos I was sooooo tired, i headed to bed after that. Little did i expect that I'd wake up at 1am, 2am, 3.15am, 5am to excruciating abdominal pains!! With a slight fever and body aches to top it up, I think this is what they call stomach flu. It was so bad, i think i nearly fainted so many times last night. OMG!!

After the last 5am episode, I rushed to under my blanket (forgot to say that each pain episode was accompanied by a trip to the toilet) and closed my eyes as tight as i could. Slept pretty much through the morning and woke at 12pm. I called my Pastor and ask permission to skip the kid's service today, could not see myself being a positive presence to the kids today. Kids go: " Hi Joa!!" I'll go: "Yeah...., whaddya want..." hee.... : (

Being sick and staying by yourself really makes you miss the times when ya were young and your mom attended to you with medicine and wet sponge baths. Ahhh... makes me feel nostalgic just thinking abt that. I remember when my Dad would bring me his 'very effective!!' chinese medicine (bitter as hell too). I hated it then, now I miss it. Hmmm....Staying away from home, you miss so much of these little homely perks. Or my brother (yes, my brother can actually be kind sometimes... usually when the moon is of a bluish shade) bringing me fish porridge that he bought. Ahh...

Well, I kinda feel better now, just really dranined. Still so much work to get thru. Can anyone do a budget??

Joa
