...flu attack - gastric...

Writing this during the stay in ITC Maurya, New Delhi

It started on my flt to syd. without slp, catching a flt to sydney rite on the evening on my arrival day from phuket. Worked with inconsiderate colleagues.. was feeling so sudden attack of hunger.. YES HUNGER!!that can nearly made me shout at seniors and pull a long face!! then i told a senior colleague C that i'm just going to grab a quick snack bcoz my stomach was really churning badly. Then suddenly this more senior leader H pop up to see me eating while C was working.. and made the comment, "Can't u see ur senior is still busy??" when i just explained that it would be a quick bite.. and that my stomach is really churning badly.. she said,"y dun u help her clear her work first?" i din care much though.. i finished the quick bite and went off to work.. by the time near to off time, i was totally famished, and going crazy.

DAY 2: the next day i felt the same thing happening.. stomach churning non-stop.. but this time i have got really no appetite. tried to eat biscuits and drinking milo.. hoping it would help.. but i just felt unfamiliar unwell. it's not diarrhea.. it's not cramp.. it's just so unfamiliar.. then i told the another leader who spoke for me to the big boss so that i can get rest.. when i rejected his kindness.. the big boss even came down to persuade me to go for a rest.. how sweet some ppl can be... and so i got an hour rest and went back to work.. as i thought i felt better and my appetite came back, i took a cup of instant noodles happily.. it didn't take long for me to vomit out the instant noodles after about 2hrs..

DAY 3: Then for the rest of the next day.. i din dare to eat anything.. i was afraid of the feeling of hunger.. but again.. i was even more afraid to throw up anything i ate.. by the end of the day i thought, maybe i should take some food since i haven't been eating the whole day.. so i thought kimchi noodles would be appetising..

DAY4: Was enjoying my off day to the fullest so i had to slp the whole day onli to be awaken by a sense of uncomfortable weird churning sound from my stomach.. Then as immediate as i opened my eye.. the next thing i looked out for was plastic bag!!! And once i got hold of one.. i threw up again like nobody's business.. feeling sick is something i ever hated most!! i know I had to see a doctor immediately. Q-ed up for about 1.5hour, threw up 2nd time for the day in the clinic.. and finally met the doctor.. who diagnosed that its a flu attack.. gastric flu i suppose though he never mentioned. then according to him i can't take products with coconut contents, milk and coffee and definitely no oily stuff.. he did gave a MC which is dated 31st Jul, definitely not knowing my work actually requires me a report on 0015 of 1st aug.. i din thought of declaring it to him either.. since taking MC in my co is equivalent to killing promotions..

DAY5: Reported to work dreadfully.. and my destination was to New Delhi. What can you think of? Its curry curry and curry place.. full of coconut milk especially...i'm not saying that i'm well prepared, but i do bring some drystores with me just in case. But this time round colleagues are nice people who called me out for early dinner..and so i thought of not to be a spoil sport. True enough, they had indian food.. curry chicken, lamb biryani, spicy paprika.. to me.. it's stomach torturing.. i took a little of garlic naans, and a little tablespoon of chicken curry, which was all it need to set me vomit again back in the hotel. How genius can dr.chua be??

DAY6: Now still in the hotel, flipping through those menus.. hated myself for spoiling my own stomach.. i realllyy wonder how long my stomach is having war with me.. stopping me from those masala chicken and lamb biryani, margherita, penne pasta, alfredo.. shit.. i can onli live on my own raisin bread.. how pathetic!! Will i recover and ever able to drink again? Can my stomach take it in the future.. ..i worried...
