A Chinese New Year spent vomiting
After I read some of my friends’ blogs, it seems to me that the new year started on a bad footing for all of us. Firstly, I spent the 1st 2 days of the new chinese calendar rushing a long-overdue assignment. Next, I spent the 2nd half of the 2nd day of the same said calendar writhing in pain.
It’s like you just want to curl up on the floor and stop moving, but you can’t because the pain is so bad that you’re thrashing around on the floor like an earthworm doused in Dettol. I might as well have drunk that antiseptic because the vomiting and diarrhea tells me that I’ve got food poisoning. Oh, and a splitting headache that came and went as and when it liked. How annoying!
To make matters worse, I hadn’t finished that long over-due assignment, so I had to muster up enough willpower just to complete enough of my program coding to allow my project team mate to take over from me smoothly.
Auugh! And I won’t describe what my toilet trips look like; they’re so offensive to the senses that it would have been ruder to describe them than to hurl swear words around my blog. To keep it short, sometimes, I get the urge to just pour bleach down my digestion system to clean out the stuff.
And then there’s the new exercise regime I’ve only established at the start of this month; I nearly broke the chain when I contemplated missing Thursday’s session, but I decided to go for it anyway. But multiple trips to the toilet per day can have some serious effect on your legs, as I found out. I had to take breaks frequently, even if my stamina could take on the longer distances. I ended up taking 15 min 30 sec to finish 2.3km, farting at choice locations so that the gas built up won’t blow my stomach apart.
I’m not sure what the diners at the 24-hour eateries I passed by thought of when they smelled the fragrance of processed-in-Singapore food.

Hmmm… Seems to me like your case is still ok. A true diarrohea from the Dark Side would feel like being kicked in your groin and so weak that its impossible to move. Your toilet would have become your newest second home and that you would have to resort to bringing a kettle of water or water dispenser to the toilet to replace any water lost from your own bombardment. Haha.
