Food poisoning

Food poisoning is bad. The body feel weak and feeble and seriously, no appetite.

Puke; diarrhoea; puke; diarrhoea. It's a vicious cycle. Medicine has no immediate effect, it takes a while before it starts to work. So before that, the vicious cycle will continue until the medicine effect kicks in.

Even when the vicious cycle stops, the body will feel weak and feeble, and at any time, the legs will juz give way. Appetite will be lost but still, intake of food is still needed to nourish the weak body. Even there's no appetite, food has still to forced in and sometimes, may lead to puking again.

Things get worse when there's tons of projects to be completed and that there's no choice but to stay in hostel to complete. No time for rest. No time for 'Home Sweet Home'. Emotions just break down and tears will try to flow out. "Self-control", that's what you told yourself. It works, somehow, but deep down, you know it doesn't. It's just a way to steer yourself from thinking too much and complete the work that's in front of you.

But things don't always go the way you want. You try concentrating but the after-effect of food posioning is still there. Your stomach just churns non-stop and the whole body just limps. A voice in your head tells you, "start doing your work or you'll never get to complete", but the body tells you, "I can't take it no more. Need rest. Don't force me."

A dilemma. Result? The body wins. You got no choice but listen to the body and rest. For how long? "Until I'm fully recovered", says the body. When is that? Until the stomach stops churning.

Quite some time.. I think...

I promised, I'll never eat sushi for several months again! I promised!
