A realtime update (PART 2)


Moving on, with a new enviroment, there's a need for me to adjust and adapt to that new situation yeah?

Yes, but my body didn't get that note. Here's how:

During the week of school, there's an international students orientation week (thank god that it's only the international students, i swear I'm not prepared to mingle and make friends with Malaysians just yet, I dont know why) Okay so, on the last day of the orientation week, there's a day where its called 'KL tour', where they'll bring us around KL to see some tourist spots or whatnot. I swear I was looking forward to it because I don't go to KL often and I don't know much about the tourist spot, and most importantly I've paid RM5 for a museum tour.

On the night of this KL tour, something poisoned me, and I had a series of rushing to the toilet to take a dump and bouts of nausea and hardcore vomitting. It was a horror I swear. I swear to God it's one of the worst things to experience when you're alone in your room (at this point, I've yet to have any roommate #foreveralone). And on top of that, I've never gotten food poisoning before, so I was really scared, like what the hell is happening man. Why am I pooping water and puking things outta my body.

I was feelikng like shit the very next morning, I thought I should just go, because of my RM5, but the random and frequent episodes of diarrhea made me go against it. Luckily for me, it was a Saturday and the clinic is still open. And thankfully, I've a friend who has a tummy ache as well, so we went to the clinic together.

On the bright side, I didn't know medical facilitues here are for free. So yay. The doctor gave me some med and packets of salt, for me to mix it with water and drink it because I'm as dehydrates as a date at this point. But those packets of salt taste like shit. I can't bear to drink it, it was disgusting, despite the orange flavour. Took all of my other meds, and I was getting better (as compared to the night before).

The puking and occasional pooping still persist though, much to my annoyance. I went back to Singapore during the weekends, and during my way back, at the Malaysian immigration, I felt the primal urge to puke. I was panicking because I don't have any plastics at hands. Thank god for other Singaporeans (aunties to be exact), I asked them for a plastic plus a nauseating face (they always have plastics, dont they). The aunty quicky rummaged her bag for one. And true enough, I puked a teeny bit soon after. Eww I know. And the guy at the counter goes on to be a jerk and ask me questions on my visa, like bitch, can we not do this now? I feel like slapping him with my plastic of vile looking puke. Trust me, I would.

Got home safety and feeling less like a turd. The next day, I went to a proper clinic. Oh I forgot to mentioned that this comes with an annoying stomach cramps. I'm not the one who gets stomach cramps during menses or nearing-menses, so it was torture. URGH.

So first week of University ended pretty badly with me falling severely sick.

And being sick doesn't stop there.

Around the 5th week, I developed a sore throat, that sore throat soon evolved into a coughing fit. DRY ANNOYING COUGHING FIT. That lasted for a week and entering its 2nd week now.

And again, I went to the doctor in Singapore to get my meds. I'm in the midst of recuperating so....I hope I get well soon. And God, I'm having a head-splitting headache since morning.

Dear body, I hope you adjust to this primal state of living.
