hey ppl..im back...just for a few days.. and i going off to Miri again soon!!

i know some ppl cant wait to see all the wierd and crazy stuff we did there.. the pics of open toilets...crowded buses and trains, infested roadside food...but all those is gonna come soon..i promise...as soon as i get the pics from jee..

but for now..let me share a big irony with you all... imagine us eating everything were not supposed to eat there in india..and getting absolutely no AGE watsoever...and ended up getting food poisoning after eating airplane food!!! thats wat happened to me and jee...and the thing is...Jee got better after 4 days...and i didnt!

u see...after some analyzing.. i realised that bloody Hindustan Airport in Bangalore is shutting down in a months time..its super busy, its crowded, its short handed bcos most of the staff went to the new airport.. its kinda dirty too..and airplane food is frozen upon preparation and heated up in the plane...and power shortages are frequent in India...all these translates to....bad food!!

after a meal of mutton curry rice in the plane..which i didn even finish, i had a bout of diarrhea in Colombo, then KLIA, then non stop at home for 4 days! everything i take comes out within 10 mins..even ORS comes out the same way.. diarrhea of 10 times a day, dehydrated, anorexic and lethargic...i ended up like this..


as u can see...i wasnt admitted...its just the acute care ward in UH...where i was given 2 pints of saline iv cos i was dehydrated and my BP was slightly low...given the history of travel.. the doctor (DR Aung Myo Maung..student of Dr Hla...) didn wanna take any chance..and thus..i started my long and boring wait for the drip to finish and for the blood results to come back. i even had a bout of diarrhea curing the drip. shitting with a drip in ur veins surely takes some skills! and i can say half the drip was gone to the toilet that day itself...the results did show some elevated liver enzymes..but according to the doctor nth to be too alarmed about....i sure hope its true too..

im stil having diarrhea now.. but appetite has slowly regained.. i think....

continue to pray for me... i need to be well enaf by sat...

and ill post the india pics up soon..
