Last night was a disaster for me. Didnt know what I eat. All my friends had same thing as me yet I am the only one who had food poisoning.

It began with naseau. Then continuous vomiting, 6 times, diarrhoea from 1030pm to 1130pm. Started having breathing difficulty and limbs became numb. Even though I didnt switch on aircon or fan, I felt cold. I don't even have the strength to get up from my bed to get water. I called Kok Kok and told him. He got back immediately from work. Before that, he helped me put on 2 jackets, track pants and socks over my pyjamas. Piggy back me to his car and and drove me to the 24 hours clinic at hougang. Could hardly walk at all. It was worst than the last time I got ill which is 2 months back.

At the clinic, the girl measured my temperature..."38.2 degree" she announced. Luckily, I was next to go. I told the Doc about my symptoms and he gave me a jab. He said since everything occurred in the 1st hour, he couldnt give a exact diagnosis to my symptoms but he highly suspected it to be viral infection and food poisoning. After the jab and the assurance from the Doc, I felt much better. He gave me MC for today and guess what, the consultation fee was $80!!! 'Cause it was already passed midnight by the time I reached the clinic. All in all.. $117.
When I got back home, Kok kok piggy back me up to our house. He stayed beside me for an hour and gave me my medicine. Accompanied me another 1 hour after I fell aslept and then he headed back to his work place.

This morning, he came home early. I felt much better now. Like batteries recharged.
70% recovered and am ready for work tomorrow.
