The night before, I woke up at 3.30am from severe pain in the stomach. I've been awoken before due to the cold, heat or noise, but never in my life due to pain. Stomach made several violent lurches while I was lying on my back. Decided to sleep on my side, but the pain ensued. Turned to the other side, the lurching continued. Wrestled with the muscle bag and thought maybe I should let me parents know about it, but they were one storey away. The nearest person would be my sister who is actually also very far away. It was seriously excruciating pain that I remembered crying out to God to make sure I didn't faint or something.

Then, I gave up trying to contain the pain, endured it as if those were a glimpse of how labour pangs would be next time, drifted off to sleep for a while, and got awoken by sharp pangs of pain again. This is basically how I survived through the entire night till the morning, about 7am.

According to a doctor-to-be, this may be a case of food poisoning. Luckily I didn't waste money going to the doctor's, they'll simply tell me to drink lots of water to prevent dehydration because there's basically no medicine I can take to cure it. Diarrhoea has been my best friend today, my stomach is reduced to a weak bag that refuses to take in any more food. I'm already thin enough, and now I'd have to grapple with the lack of appetite. Temperature has been on the rise and low as and when the body feels like it, and yes I've been in a prawn position the whole day.

Thank God I still had the last of my strength to be playing the keyboad just now, though I could sense my concentration span shorten at every slight discomfort in the abdomen. And thank God the sharp pain returnd only when I was home, not while I was having band practice.

The best part is, I DON'T KNOW WHAT FOOD/FRUIT I'VE EATEN THAT MADE ME SO WEAK. I guess I'll have to spend the day in bed, fighting the feverish feeling and curbing the pain somehow. I'm just a little afraid of sleeping now, because I'm so sure the sharp pain will come haunt me again, like it did a few moments ago.

Coincidentally, it's Friday the 13th.
