Threw up this morning between 5am and 6am. Woke up about 4.30am and felt really uncomfortable. I knew I had to puke but I absolutely hate doing it because it scares me big time. I can't puke and breathe at the same time so I always end up gagging, choking and desperately gasping for air. 3 times I went to the bathroom. Of those 3, only one was fruitful. The other times I just made gagging noises. It was awful awful awful... oh well, I got to see the sky lighten. Sigh, Mom and Dad think it's food poisoning. That's the last time I'm having tuna from a can. Felt like puking again when I woke up this morning at about 11am. Some of my cell members went to Hoi's Kitchen for lunch. Excellent tim sum. What did I have? Fish porridge... sigh.. I had to look at the yummy food in front of me but I couldn't eat anyway. The porridge came in a huge bowl and Mei En says I only ate 50 cents of it.. haha..

Had some mushroom soup for dinner. Am feeling slightly better now. Earlier this morning, Eazy gave me a bottle of Po Chai pills. Gosh, I've never taken those things and yes, I was wary of any mercury content. I hope it's safe. After lunch, Kelvin took me to the chemist to get charcoal pills. He was really great, got me a bottle of water and making sure I was alright and all... gee, when you're sick, you realise that the people around you really do care and it's a nice heartwarming feeling :)

I'm on worship tomorrow. That means I have to be in church by 7.30am. I do hope I'll be ok. Still thinking about whether I should get someone to replace me. Ok, I've just got Leonard to take over. I think I should get more rest. Man, when you're physically sick, your homesickness is magnified 100x. Sob.. Mom was really nice though (yeah, she was her usual over-worried self but..) she called my grandma, auntie and grandaunt to ask them to pray for me. It was nice hearing my parents' voices. I miss them.

Played Literati online with this 45 year-old man from New Jersey. He was really nice and it was really fun playing too :) Because the time difference is about 13 hours, he'd just started his day and I was winding down. How cool is that?! It's nice meeting nice people online and yeah, that was pretty much the highlight of my day :)

Lil, I'm listening to the cd you gave me. Over and over :) Brings a little of home to me. Hope you're getting through your pms. Gosh, I know what that's like :) I'm queen of pms eh, haha..

Time to go take a shower and rest. My laptop's been working hard all day. That's what I love about Australia. Flat rates. Don't have to watch my time online. BUT, I do have to go rest. Till I'm better then. Bye!
