Today I have experienced hell (or rather, something very much close to it). I must have offended some Gods or supernatural powers so badly to land myself in this awful, terrible, horrendous day of torture, mentally and internally. I really don't know where to start, seriously. What about the fact that the day started out so well with me realizing I would be failing my LA essay test gravely? Or that my 6-days-old baby phone was heartlessly scratched by the cruel corner of a classroom table, and was left scarred in this sixth day of its newborn life? Not only my phone was hurt, my heart was aching so horrifically that I teared for one whole period, unbothered to concentrate on anything else other than this hurtful reality; It was really a deep and irreversible heartbreak.:'(( And things just had to get better when I started vomitting halfway through Biology because of that deadly mee rebus. What can I say?

I must be cursed. Really, I can't find any other suitable explanation to my plight and utter unluckiness.

Food poisoning is no fun. At all. :( But although the process of purging the dirty substances out of my system was torturous, agonizing and flatly uncomfortable, the whole experience was really an eye opener. It first begins with a queasy sensation in the stomach, with weird feelings of discomfort. Then came the nausea banging onto the walls of my stomach. Every urge to puke was usually a false alarm, but standing right next to the basin in the lab seemed to be the most sensible decision for me. Occasionally glancing at Anna, Amira and Sheila doing the groupwork made me feel somewhat guilty(real sorry!), but the pain in my insides was something far more overpowering compared to that. Then, as if another false alarm, a fountain of reddish pink mixture with a paste-like texture emerged from my throat, into the basin of greatly contrasting black. My head was totally in the sink, as I glanced down at the rather unusual colour of my vomit, noticing tiny droplets of chilli oil dotted across the mixture. Twenty minutes later, the feeling had not subsided. Again, the sudden urge to let it out purged a bowl's worth of liquid-solid things from my system. This time, it was a diluted solution of mostly water, with pieces of egg-whites swimming in the pool. Gross. :/ Bell rang, bio was over, but no, that was not all. Packed up and with Huanying, Jianle and Jiamin, approached the toilet outside the auditorium-- it was such a long and never-ending walk, I really had every intention to puke while walking cus it was a feeling so hard to control. Entered the toilet, slammed and locked the door behind me. I basically just fell on my knees in front of the toilet bowl and started letting it all out again. Now, it was pure solution of yellow liquid, bitter, sour and salty combined. It was such a disgusting moment, and the swifts of pungent odour I took in from the toilet bowl while puking added to the nausea. The smell was really, really undescribably foul. & coincidentally, the toilet seat of that toilet bowl was stained with patches of blood, which made me sick all over again. Was in there for what seemed forever, waiting for that feeling to past. I think it was only after 50 minutes that I finally reluctantly left the toilet, where they helped me to the sick bay to rest. Kelly arrived to check on me, and also to sorta miss the House Dialogue, and Hy, Jl and Jam left for theirs. Walked around the sick bay, hoping to be able to throw up, but ended up playing with them when they came back. I felt much, much better, thanks to these four people who had accompanied me and helped me through this ordeal. A million thanks, man! And this experience was really insightful in an odd way cus I managed to see the state of my food in my body at different stages of digestion. HOW COOL IS THAT!

Next thing I knew, Jam and I were on our way to Bugis for tuition, when everyone was like, "Go home la! Call your mum to fetch you! Skip your tuition luhhh!". Heh. Am I strong or what! Haha :D "Your voice's so loud you don't look like you have food poisoning at all." -Jam. Lol, I think so too(: But no matter how painful it was, I just didn't wanna show it. I don't like to be weak. I won't succumb to this food poisoning. No way. It's like been 2-3 over years since I last puked, and I'm not gonna bow down to this one. Cleared my system with PinkDolphin during tuition, and I think that somehow aroused attention cus each time i open the bottle, the girl across my table would turn and stare at me. -must be the fragrant smell, haha. Or is it just me. Pfft.

In any case, what I felt the most injustice about was for my baby phone. GAHHHHHH. D': I really cannot accept that she was scratched just like that. omgawshhh. URGH. Hmph. ) :<
& I think it's really amusing how when I was puking in bio that everyone started crowding around me and exclaiming that I was having pregnancy morning sickness, or rather, afternoon sickness. WTHHH, lol. Tsktsk. What helpful comments la. Haha. Yeah yeah, Arron's baby. (:


But I'm really feeling significantly better now, with random pangs in the stomach though. Thankyou everyone for all your concern, 2B for your "encouraging" comments while I puked, and especially to those four people for being with me.

With much gratitude,
Valencia.

*Hasia, hope you're alright too! No more mee soto for you! D:
