When your tummy is doing a roller-coaster like mine did misplaced jokes are not taken kindly so I was extremely sore when someone commented that unless I suck it in I will have to do my business in the bushes along the way to the airport. Excuse me friend, I did see little shop-houses and Surau (Muslim prayer house that’s smaller in size to that of a mosque) along the way. A kind word would be most appreciated and helpful at times of trouble such as this. If one day this person suffers the same fate while I happened to be around, I will hand her a plastic bag - a tiny one!

Once home, a lot of pre-arranged work-related activities and assignments had to be cancelled. All phone calls and SMS-es were ignored but there will always be some thick-skinned people out there who just can’t give someone breathing space.
To ask me if I had received some work e-mail while I’m purging and trying hard to control muscle spasms in my tummy is really very thoughtful. To repeatedly call me on my handphone despite knowing I was ill is a clear indication of arrogance. And to SMS me just to ask me to pick up the phone is … duhhh … stupid!

Let me spell it out. When someone is suffering from diarrhoea all one wants to do is to hold on to one’s @!$# so that you don’t shit on your bed. And when one suffers from diarrhoea for two days straight the stomach becomes empty and all that comes out from the sore @!$# is fluid. So give me a break and let me sleep so I can recover quickly.

Now that “bad things” are out my chest life will soon be back to normal.
Today I managed to check my mail, do this post because NFM had gone to a full stop because some techie FORGOT my instructions to post, re-arranged food reviews, discuss coverage for one talented baker, and finish all the pending stories that needed to be sent out.

If you’re a real friend please do like my buddies Farrell and Craig would do, leave a message that says something like: Rest well. Call if you need anything. We're just around the corner.
You know what this line says? It says they care enough to be there should I need them but they won’t be in my face in case I need the space (to rest).
Now, time for that medication and sleep. Hopefully I can be at the food review tonight, which I have cancelled once before for a different reason.
