The day I got an MC...

Ahaa... finally Binx got an MC...

No.. I was not late for work and pretended to be sick like last time... In fact I was really SICK!

It started out early in the morning. I didn't have time for breakfast, even though I bought myself a huge packet of nasi lemak with ayam masak sambal. Since I can't have it for breakfast, I thought I might save it for lunch. It was a brilliant plan because I thought of doing some studying for a test later in the evening.

9.00 am

My tummy started to churn.. "grrookkk.. groookk..."
Yeah I was very hungry.. and the aroma of the nasi lemak didn't help the situation at all. There was practically nothing to munch on since the office boy was so smart to order a very tak sedap cookies for the pantry. If not I would have my favorite cream cracker dunk into my morning cup of coffee..

9.10 am

Izzy offered me his oreos... Was munching on those oreos when I felt there was something wrong with my stomach. It was not a normal hungry feeling.. It was more than that. After a while, I can feel that those oreos that I've munched on earlier was finding its way up my throat... Apa lagi.. I did a record breaking sprint to the ladies and "uweeeeekkkkk"...

Spent almost 20 minutes with my face in the toilet bowl this morning. The pain just would not go away. And those oreos looks horrible, all smashed up mixed with saliva (I hope you are not eating while reading this post).. Urrrggghhh...

9.30 am

Walked into the Kumpulan Medic (a panel doctor) on the 4th floor to seek help. I know I could not survive the day if I were to leave it as it is... Sakit ooo... But that was after I accidentally puked on the stairway on my way to the clinic (It was just a floor down from my department - so I usually take the stairs)... It was horrible.. Those black cookie bits were everywhere.. I felt bad that I didn't get to tell the cleaner lady about it.. Habis laa bau.. yucks!!

9.45 am

Walked out of the consultation room feeling horrible. The pain was excruciating. The doctor diagnosed it as a "terrible gastric attack".. I asked him if I could just lie down somewhere till the pain go away before resuming my work. Unfortunately the clinic was full house today that he asked me to go back home.

"If you resume your work also you won't be able to concentrate, girl.. Go back and rest"..

"How am I gonna get home? I still need to drive back.. I'm in no condition to drive rite now"

"I'm sorry girl. You just have to rest in the office then. I'll get you an MC"

10.00 am

Binx: Aunty, I'm on MC today.
Boss: What happened to you girl?
Binx: Terrible gastric. The cashflow is not ready yet though. So I'll definitely resume work as usual tomorrow ya..
Boss: Dun worry.. Now go home.. We don't want you fainting on the job

10.10 am

Izzy: You sure you can drive?
Binx: I guess so.. I have to.. No one's available to pick me up..
Binx: Plus I still need to get my car home kan..
Izzy: Wait til lunch and I'll send you home laa..
Binx: It's ok.. Lunch's at 12.30.. I dun think I can wait that long..
Binx: I'll manage..
Binx: Just do me a favor.. eat my nasi lemak ok..

10.20 am

Just got outside of the building and suddenly felt like fainting. Hence, I sat down at the sidewalk and dialed for Izzy..

Binx: You.. I need a favor..
Izzy: What's up?
Binx: My car is parked 150m away... and I dun think I can walk that far..
Binx: Can you take my car for me?
Izzy: Sure.. gimme a sec and I'll come down..

It was great of him to help me out and I am eternally grateful for that.

Izzy: You sure you can drive ke? Wait laa til lunch..
Binx: (putting up an act) No.. I'm OK.. Just that I can't walk that far
Izzy: You sure?
Binx: Definitely.. No go, before your record says MIA..
Izzy: Call me when you reach home yeah..
Binx: Ok..

As soon as he walked away.. I searched high and low for a plastic bag in my car and "uweekkkk"... Luckily there was the huge MNG plastic bag that was huge enough for me to fit in my entire face innit.

10.40 am

Had to make an emergency stop near the Muzium Negara. The pain was terrible and there was still more cookies to be let out... I did the puking routine for about 3 minutes and then pushed the headrest down to rest for a while. That few minutes felt like an eternity when I woke up 10 minutes later. And surprise surprise.. no cucuk-cucuk pains in the stomach.. Hence, I took that as a sign for me to get myself home as fast as possible.

11.15 am

Arrived home safely, even though that was the longest journey home I've ever had.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..............
