The Worst Days of my Life
The past 3 days were definitely the worst days in my life. I have never been so sick for a continuous span of 3 days, vomitted for almost 20 times over 2 days (Thank god the vomitting subsided on the 3rd day), and not eaten anything for 2 days in a row straight. Well, that was because my stomach practically reject anything that goes in, big or small, fluid or solid.
All this started on a Sunday afternoon when there was practically no doctors available unless you go to the 24 hours clinic kind or drag yourself to A&E at any of the hospitals. I got my dad to take me to the nearest clinic available at bedok but was stupid enough not to think of requesting the doctor to give me an injection. I ended up vomitting my medicine twice after attempting miserably to swallow them. I couldn't sleep at night as I kept waking up and continued vomitting my guts out several times throughout the night. It was terrible. I felt completely drained and exhausted. I almost wanted to rush to A&E in the middle of the night but my parents were already asleep and I didn't want to wake them up. I have practically no strength to drag my limp body up let alone go to A&E by myself. I had no choice but to wait miserably for the next morning and forcing myself to go to sleep.
The next morning finally arrived and mum took me to another clinic for injection. The doctor suspected food poisoning and gave me an injection and some medicine. When I told the doctor that the last few times I vomitted greenish liquid, he said that was actually bile since my stomach was already empty from all those vomitting. He told me I was seriously dehydrated and gave me oral salts for replenishment. When I reached home, I went to sleep while waiting for the injection to take effect so that I could take my medicine without vomitting. The first time round I managed to take my medicine successfully. The second time I took my medicine in the evening, I vomitted it out again. I slept until the next morning before taking my medicine again and some soup noodles (my first meal after 2 days). I felt slightly better but my stomach feels sore (or was it the emptiness?) and my body ached. I still felt drained of energy. It was absolutely a terrible time for me... :(

Are bloggers out there having the same problem???
There has been the same problem 9 out of 10 times I sign in to blogger.com recently. It's possible for me to sign in and post on my blog but the funny thing is that there wasn't any options for me to post pics/photos at all. The whole toolbar mysteriously disappeared to who-knows-where... Thought it was something wrong with my miserably lagging laptop at first but realized that there seem to be something wrong with blogger.com since I encounter the same problem signing in from other computers. Are bloggers out there having the same problem??

Happy Birthday Singapore!!
Happy Birthday Singapore! Happy National Day, people!! As usual, not-so-patriotic me went out with mum, sis and company for my shop-and-eat session today and totally missed the live NDP broadcast... :( Hope I'll be able to catch the repeat telecast then.
We went for lunch at Pu Tian Restaurant and dinner at Thai Express. After that, I went for a full classic pedicure and manicure at "mei ren mei jia" (directly translated into pretty people pretty nails) at Tampines One. Haven't done anything to my nails for ages since I wasn't actually allowed to paint my nails for work reasons. The total cost was $35 for pedicure and there was a promotion going on that gives a free manicure for doing a pedicure. Well... overall, I wasn't all that satisfied with the skills of the staff doing my nails because she mananged to made my thumb bleed while she was trimming my cuticles. Well, she kind of over-trimmed my cuticle and wasn't even aware until she saw the blood oozing out... :( Anyway, it hurts and I was a bit upset but decided not to be hard on her la... since she was rather apologetic. (can't help that I'm too soft-hearted...) After finishing the nail session, one of the staff tried to talk me into taking a promotion package. Didn't she know that her colleague just had an "accident" with my poor thumb?? I contemplated telling her that I wasn't all that impressed with their services but decided to give it a miss. In the end, I just told her I'll think about it.
Anyway, so glad that Monday is still a public holiday. Hope Tuesday won't come so fast cos I'm still in my nice-long-weekend mood... haha. :p
