Not a good Christmas

while most of my friends are celebrating for the countdown of christmas, i have to stay at home, blog, rot, sleep.... and because of what, diarrhea, what else?? i was having diarrhea 2 nights ago when i having stomachache, but not the feeling of wanting to go toilet, just the pain in the stomach. i try to test my luck in the toilet at a coffee shop at pasir ris where i was having my dinner at. blooshhhhh, all the watery faeces all came out, (i'm sorry if you are eating while seeing this blog...) then i could feel my stomach grumbling with all the liquid inside. i rushed home just in case another war is going to happen in my stomach. when i reached home, just in time for another round of war in the toilet. i drank a cup of water and this time, it worsen. my stomach was so bloated that it is so uncomfortable, it is like something blocking the path from stomach to the small intestine and everything jammed up in the stomach. indeed it works after i vomit everything up, but my diarrhea stil continued....so for the rest of the time to 3am the next morning, toilet was my bed, i don really slept there, i stay in the toilet as long as i stayed in the bed.

when i was chatting with teng fei at 3am in the morning, the pain start to get unbearable, i waked my family up to bring me to see the doctor. the doctor sucks, it's an old man, difficulty in seeing my data, it took him a while to finish reading even though it was only a few lines. then he start to examine me but he don look like a doctor at all, unprofessional, he do things very slow, i wonder how he pass his doctor licence.

so when i get home, i immediately went to sleep after taking the medicine, it nearly 4am and i couldn't have enough sleep. i slept on a cardboard, seriously, for fear that i shit on my bed. watery faeces is harder to control than solid faeces, even u try to fart, the watery faeces may even come out with it. so for the following day till night, i 'm actually sleeping 'peacefully' skipping lunch. when night falls, i feel much better, i finally have the appetite to have dinner.

despite feeling much better but still having diarrhea, i applied urgent leave for my christmas eve work and went vivocity for final christmas shopping. my stomach is still on war, anything that goes in came out from the bottom. when night come, it my sis turn to become sick. she started vomitting and continue till the next morning, with me having the diarrhea, imagine the toilet smell... she eventually see the doctor this morning and the doctor conclude she got food poisoning, same as me perhaps because all her symptoms was the same, giddy, vomit, diarrhea, stomach pain. she have the injection, but i don have, i preferred the injection, it will cured me faster than medicine. till now, i stil having diarrhea, i think i been to the toilets more than fifty times. but actually, i luckier than my sis, i got the diarrhea 3 days ago but she got it yesterday. she have to missed the christmas bbq today at my ah ma house fearing that she get uncomfortable again.

this month may be an bad month as so many food poison case happened, first was the prima deli case, then the sentosa food club case, now my family...:(

well, that all, neeed to go toilet again, war is inevitable in my stomach. wishing everyone a MERRY CHRISTMAS and enjoy yourself..:)

Scene on bus 168, 13 Dec

today happen to have a test at 9am, then everyone seems to chiong to school on bus 168. the first bus was so full that some was standing at the entrance door and we have to wait for the next bus. the next bus was pretty crowded too but i managed to get on the bus with jas, who was already in front of me.

when the bus reached tampines ave 7, regional library bus stop, there was this botak guy with a real shiny head managed to squeeze up the bus, he was shouting at the passengers behind

man: hello!!! please move behind, i want to work!!!!!
man to driver: there 3 people who don want to move behind!!!!
man: hey, you don want to work i want to work!!!!!
man to driver: i WANT to complain!!!!!
man: work!!!! FUCK!!!!!

i was thinking, complain??? complain to who??? to the government? bus company?? because the the people behind don want to move??

then again at tampines ave 9....

man: hey people, i know you all are educated, all students.
man: educated huh, si mi lan jiao ( he really said that, and i was laughing :P )

a tampines ave 10, tampines dormitory...

man: some get off and still don want to move!!!


i don have a good memory but 90% is confirmed correct. i don blame that guy, it true, the sbs transit is not doing enough. the bus frequency is always slow, the bus is always full, especially on test day. we send countless of feedback to the company, but still, the company is not doing enough. adding one or two more buses to the journey surely could ease the problem faced by the RP students.

i cant imagine when i in year 2, when more student comes to RP, the problem would be even more severe. the population for 2007 in RP of 6k students, number of year 1 student is more than the combination of year 2 and 3 student. therefore in 2008, the population was anticipated to be around 8k, 1k come from the east maybe??? somemore our lesson will start on 8.30am, and the bus is always full with all students, i would be late everyday.


now on a major project to restore, rebuild, paint my biggest ship model, CVN 65 enterprise at 1m long, 1/350 series. this was my first ship model 2 years ago. as i was a beginner, i jus anyhow glue all the parts together making it very untidy. so yesterday i went to century square to order more ship models but they don have the stock, so sad. in the end, i bought paints, brush, spray can and marker. i think that that this ship model is the most expensive, the ship itself cost close to a hundred bucks, plus all the paints, decoration, close to 200 bucks, my heart aches....

i still need this to complete the family of US suppercarrier
