sick

friday, 28 december 2007

sorry, it actually began on thursday, 27 december 2007, lunch. and dinner. i had fishball noodle for lunch and mixed vegetarian rice for dinner. after lunch, visited the latrine and defecated twice. after dinner, before i could have the packet of mixed vegetarian rice, i defecated again. right after i had dinner, again, i defecated. met bud for a game of pool and defecated. reached home at about half past eleven and defecated for another two more (long) rounds. by then, i almost fainted. got no choice, informed dear i had diarrhoea and called bud. i needed someone to take me to the doctor.

bud came to my rescue. he got me a pack of ultracarbon pills, took 2 pills and sent me back home after we couldn't find any clinic which operate round the clock. yes, we got one at ang mo kio but consultation fee starts at $72! decided not to go but headed back home, but i couldn't sleep peacefully. i defecated for the next 10 times! and i got fever at 38.4 degrees in the wee hours (4am).

came friday, i was on MC. dear came to my rescue. she accompanied me to the doctor and got the appropriate medication.

as of now, i am well. but my dear fell ill. she went down with a stomach flu (probably due to food poisoning like what had happened to me). luckily, i had my medication with me. yeah, i carried it around where ever i go just in case 'it' returns. been attending to her (and blogging) for the day. she is well now.

i am just utterly disgusted with the way some of the food sellers handle their food. they are just being ignorant about hygiene of the food. hey, nea, what's the use of the grading for the stall holders when most of the time, i see cases where food being served are contaminated? i once found a dead cockroach in a plate of lasi lemak which i had ordered. it was a full-size bug in its entirety! and when i displayed it on my table (i sat in front of the stall), the stall owners simply acted as if nothing was there.

i have a word of caution to you guys who frequent bukit merah central for meals. avoid those above-mentioned stalls at all cost! i am sorry i couldn't name names. however, on request, i could check it out for you since i am working around that area.

disgusted.
