Post Food Poisoning

After spending two nights at the hospital, we were out on Saturday. I had new hopes of going to Penang. In fact, I had written a list of things to bring on the previous night. You see, I am the type who like to jot down what I want to bring for holidays. There is nothing more fun than planning for a holiday.
However, my hopes were dashed when I heard that Mei2 threw up 4x the night before and Daddy himself didn't look good. He plonked his head on the hospital bed himself while waiting for the bill. At home, he practically dropped dead on the living room floor which he hadn't done before. Thank God Mei2 was tough. She was bubbly as usual except for her poor appetite.
On Sunday, we were still undecided whether to go on with our plan or not. Went out for breakfast. Coincidentally, we bumped into my dad and aunts thus we had dim sum together. Hubby's appetite was back. Jerilyn's was ok. I, on the other hand, couldn't eat.
It was after 11am when we finished our breakfast. I couldn't stand mulling over whether we should go or not. I told my driver that we would pack our bags and go . We packed our bags and left by less than 1pm. Before we left, I had diarrhea.
We reached Berjaya Hotel at 3pm. Everything went well. It started to pour when we opened the room's curtain. The room however was a disappointment despite paying RM220/night. Another lesson learnt: Never trust what you see online.
We rested and headed for Gurney Plaza by 6pm. We did not know how far is the plaza but were pleasantly surprised to see the magic word (Gurney) only 2 blocks away. Our mission was to meet and take a photo with The Smurfs. So, we searched high and low for the event venue the moment we stepped out of the car. I thought it would be easy to find. How big can a shopping mall be, right? It took us half an hour to spot it. I hurriedly grabbed 2 clothes at Voir for the kids for RM71. In order to take a photo with The Smurfs, we need to purchase a minimum of RM50 worth of merchandise in any outlets. Thank God the line was not long and every photo shoot only took 30 secs.
After the photo shoot, I suddenly felt wobbly and breathless. I had to put down Jesslyn who suddenly seemed a few kilos heavier. I thought the virus must be attacking me, just like how it attacked Daddy. I needed to sit badly. We quickly looked for a cafe and ordered our dinner - 2 plates of rice for 4people. Half the plate was left uneaten. Jesslyn and I didn't touch the food at all. I turned in early that night.
The next day, it was raining when I woke up. Did it rained the whole night? I felt much better. I even managed to finish half a plate of fried keow teow. Only Jesslyn still distant herself from solid food. The rain and the uncomfortable bodies made us not very adventurous. We shopped at Queensbay Mall til we were tired, which did not take long to happen and came back home in the late evening.
