Sick Nini is back!!

THANK GOD IM FINALLY HOME.... ahhhhh... it has been a torturous stay and the most (dis)memorable holiday in Malacca in 11 years >.<>

So a happy family of 4 went to malacca, as they have been doing for the past 10 years, and stayed in the usual hotel with a nice seaview. The days were spent at shopping malls cuz there were SALES YAY BABY! and more sales. We went to the usual haunts, ate the chicken rice balls from the uncle with the choppe r(we actually see how his jet-black hair slowly turn to the current shade of white and grey over the years) , walked at jonker walk and had a lovely dinner at the Portuguese settlement complete with fresh half-raw oysters that were the yummiest shellfish my family ever tasted. And no, it wasn't the half-raw( yumm) oysters that was my undoing but the GAWD-DAMN-IT peranakan food that my family had on the last night >.<>

10.00am 21st June--scheduled to return back to Singapore--

Nick: " Ma... my stomach pain..." * curls up in a ball on the bed and clutches his stomach*
Mum:" Haiya.. I told you not to eat so much rice last night right? See? All of us shitted everyday but you haven't even shit once since we've been here. Serves you right..." * Mum continues chidding and packing up the clothes to go home*
Nick: * Sad face/Grumpy face/Pained face*
Me: *Woke up with a bit of pain in the stomach, thinks that its just normal need-to-shit-kinda pain and went to the toilet* 5 mins later, came out feeling that something is not quite right...
"Ma... my stomach also not feeling so well lei..."
Mum:" ...... Huh? you also? "

Ok, since it wasn't THAT pain i helped mummy pack up the clothes and keep the toiletries and stuff. Since my stomach wasn;t feeling so good, I did not eat anything but drank lots of water, hoping it will help clear the system. for the next 2 hours, ah nick got more and more ill and at 12 plus, he was dangling by the side of the sink and feels like vomitting anytime. So we got his plastic bags, and decided to bring him to the doctor after checking out.

12.30pm at the hospital next to our hotel

Daddy drove us to the hospital's A & E unit cuz it was the nearest, and nick looked pretty deadly ill. So he parked his car, and we walked inside. I was feeling weak and giddy but wasn't in severe pain or anything. When we got to the counter,
Nurse:' M'am im sorry the doctors are out for lunch... You have to wait for them to come back. Will medical officers ( MO) do?"
Our family: * stunned and thinking, what the HELL???? A & E unit lei! and not a SINGLE doctor??! >.<*
But we settled for the MO nonetheless, and I was the first to go in.
MO:" So what's the problem?"
Me:" blah blah blah...."
a minute later, i felt damn damn uncomfortable and asked if I can rest on the bed. MO said ok and then he started telling my mum some stuff while i rested for like, 1 min.
MO:' ok girl, you can go outside."
me: *stood up to go but feel an odd sensation, like im floating and then all I saw was patches of black before my legs gave way and I blacked out*

What happened next I wasn;t too sure, but when i came to a few moments later I was lying on a hospital bed and a nurse was next to me, saying that she is going to insert a needle into me to put me on drip. I can;t say no right? ha.. so i lie there still dreamy dreamy while she inserted this 3cm long needle into a vein at my wrist. It was worse then a prick.. cuz she had to puuush the needle in YUCK YUCK YUCK.. Sigh. I can hear the MO inthe background telling papa that I was too weak to travel back, and that we should wait for the doctor to come and examine me before making any decision. I drifted back to sleep..

3pm plus at the A&E unit

I woke up and saw hospital lights above me and the sounds of footsteps all around. From the slit in the curtains I could see that there were quite a number of people at this time. The nurse popped in and I asked to see ma and pa. So they came in, and I asked how's Nick doing Mama pushed back the curtain that partitioned my bed from the next and I saw my little bro sleeping on the bed. LOL.. Apparently they gave him a jab on his backside( HEHE) and he's better now.
About 30 mins later, the nurse came back and said I could go. I was damn happy, cuz i can;t wait to get back and I can;t wait for the stupid disgusting needle to be taken out of my hand. So After removing the needle, dad and mum were settling some admin stuff at the counter while me and nick waited outside. After calling me a dope and saying this is some sick shit about being injected in the ass and some freaky story bout those weirdo hospitals, nick and I went in.
Nick:' Ma.. done already anot.. got water? I want to drink..."
Me:' Me too.. i want water.."
Me:' Ma I ne- * blacks out and faints again*

and this time while i could feel several pairs of hand beneath me carrying me to the bed and some commotion. The nurse inserted the drip needle into my other wrist and the doc came inand examined me. The nurse took my blood pressure and muttered, " aiyoh girl, your blood pressure very low leh..tsk tsk tsk". The doc said I need to be warded for the night and blood test needs to be done,blah blah..

Sobs. Im gonna be alone in a hospital in a foreign land in foreign hands for the night?!

And Ward 668A became my home for that night. Nurse came in and tried to take some blood for blood test. couldn;t find my fine veins so i kena poked TWICE, the second time drawing out 2X the amt of blood. Grrrr....

7pm plus in the hospital ward

I woke up and saw that dinner was served at the foot of my bed. I got up slowly, still dizzy and nauseous but able to grab the banana at the side of the tray. For the first time, the banana tasted like some 3 michelin star dish.-.- hahahaha... so i ate it up, felt better and took the mantou in its styrofoam box. mama and papa came to visit and they brought along my bag with bunny inside. hehe. I needed to go to the toilet so mummy and another nurse helped me into my shoes and with one on each side of my arm, they lifted me off the bed.

And i blacked out after standing for what, 15 seconds? -.-

Sigh. so i had to be carried back to the bed, and the nurse literally had to drag me up to the pillow. and then they said all toilet business had to be done in a potty-pan like thing. and with the nurse cleaning up after me.

Man. That is one sick, embarassing thing i ever had to do in my life. for the benefit of you healthy and sane folks out there, I shall spare you the ewwwww~~ details. hahahaha..

9pm plus

I woke up to sounds of chatter coming from the next cubicle. The lady inthe next bed had a lot of visitors. Noisy, alchoholic smokers. sigh. and they stayed way past the visiting hours till 10.30pm plus.and i even heard one guy ask the lady if she wanna go sing kbox >.<
I messaged ah xiang and sherhan for a while, felt more comforted with each incoming message and finally drifted to a light sleep around 12am.

12.45am plus 22nd June

I woke up to silence, apart from the constant dripping noise coming from my drip and had the loneliest, most frightened moment in my life. No one was around, my family is back at the hotel resting and the nurses were seriously 3rd class standard. During the 2nd time i needed help in pee-ing, she grabbed my wrist and pressed onto the needle such that the the tube that is delivering clear liquid to me, turned red. My blood was reversing and flowing back into the tube.>.<>

8am 22nd June

I woke up feeling much better and messaged daddy to buy more bananas for me cuz the nurse say they can only give one -.- the doctor came and did some checks before saying im ok to come back.daddy came and after settling some admin stuff, I was free to go. FINALLY.AHHH. and papa looks very pained when the nurse took out the needle embedded in my flesh.eww. and we both felt pained when we saw the bill.

1,073 ringgit. waht the *tooot* the doctor bill is 310, and the medicine 270( its just antibiotics, gastric and constipation pills) and the remaining amt for miscellaneous stuff. Seriously, a thousand plus??? for that???? and crap service??

Turns out that my blood was infected. by the bacteria in the food or what i dun know.sigh.

Throughout the drive back to Singapore, nick kept looking at me and asking if I feel like fainting. Lol. thank goodness i didn;t. despite feeling weak and giddy at some point.

And I guess im well enough to do CIP this evening.. heh. AH bao was very sweet, he came to pick me up and we had a bite at Xing Wang cafe. then i passed him his gifts :D when he sent me home and I hope he likes the cutesy briefs mama, didi and I picked. HAHHAHA...thanks for sending me home baobao... muacksss!!!!!! it feels so good to see you again =)

OKie im off to bed. ZzZZ
