Kiam Chye Life
Recently, I read a newspaper article in the Life Section of The Straits Times which talked about how some people had kiam chye life. Kiam chye being chinese salted vegetable and having a kiam chye life literally translate into having a difficult life. The writer gave examples of what she meant by having a kiam chye life and one of the examples was falling sick while on leave or while on holiday then recovering just when it was time to go back to work!
The past few days, poor Fatgirl has been having a kiam chye life. It was National Day on Thursday and I decided to take Friday off to have a super long weekend, although there was still tons of stuff to be done at work. The long break started off well, I had lunch with two good friends and KTV on Thursday, woke at noon on Friday and decided to color my hair and got a massage. On Friday, I decided that it has been some time since I met up with VanTan and Monoceros so I decided that we should do lunch on Saturday and do something interesting after that.
Come Saturday morning, I had an interesting experience in the toilet. I am one of those people who are constantly constipated and seldom ever get diarrhoea. I thought it must have been the massage last evening being super effective hence my circulation working. After a hour, it was not only diarrhoea but I started to vomit whatever liquids I had in the morning and this continued till late afternoon. Of course that put an end to my plans to have lunch and visiting the musuem with VanTan and Monoceros. I ended up spending the entire afternoon feeling super miserable.
The funniest part came in the night when I finally mustered up enough energy to make my way to the doctor. When I told the doctor about my symptons, he asked me what I thought it was. I told him I did not think it was food poisoning as I ate the same foods as my family and everyone else was fine except for me. Then he asked me when was my last period. At first, I was quite confused. It was like "HUH, what has when was my last period got to do with anything??!!!??" After I walked out the clinic then I realised that the doctor suspected that I was pregnant!!! That must have been the joke of the centuary!!! Firstly, there is a lack of sperm donor in my life and even if there is, I am so stressed all the time, getting pregnant would have quite a task indeed!!
Anyway, today is the last day of my long break and I suspect by tomorrow, I will be recovered enough to work. SOB!
