ok peeps, i'm fine la! ke. thanks Irene for the prayer tho. and thanks to my Sis for her buddha pendant too. =) the last couple of days i was in comfortable singapore, the more i tink the more scientific the basis seems. so yeah. i'm cool!! :P

suffered from very bad food poisoning last week and had to return for a couple of days. it was a welcome relief from the taxing conditions here but cant take my mind off all that i've so painstakingly planned, so i'm back today for a full 20-day run! bring it on!

recalling, that food poisoning episode was horrendous, to say the least. man, i donno how i survived that 1 hour plane journey to jakarta. i was in Solo you c. i felt like DYING. i think the man sitting diagonally behind me thought so too. damn the Solo hotel to be fully booked. i received a business-like "Ok u may extend but only until tml" when i explained i am terribly unwell and need to extend my stay. no offers whatsoever to send a doctor. damn it. makes the decision to check out immediately for the subsequent intolerable travel to jkt seems sound-made. i declare i am not going to stay there again! ok maybe for the next month la... hotel has free wireless internet in lobby u c..

so terrible to be all alone, sick, nauseous, laosai-ed and carrying a heavy laptop backpack while waiting for the damn Silver Bird at the airport. the 10 min ride to the nearest hospital seemed like eternity. it was supposed to be an 'interntional' hospital but i think the only English they got right was my name. the nurse said 'Sebentar' after trying unsuccessfuly to communicate in local tongue - and nvr came back!

it took a day of mistaken identity of gastritis, 3 injections (1 on my butt ok!), 2 hospitals, 1 intolerable plane ride before i landed in assuring arms. hee. thanks ling for the airport pickup.

it made me appreciate so many things now k! like how beautiful and welcoming the doctor in the clinic below now seems! Like how precious Fishball Bee Tai Bak actually is! Like how great a feeling it is to fart and burp!
