Recently I've been feeling so low spirited as to what was happening around me. I was busy handling our Dietetics Interaction Day last weekend, where I had to wake up at 7.30am, washed my face, and head straight to the Aerobics Hall to prepare the morning activities. Of course, I had fun watching the participants get wet, laughed and cheer together with them. I felt bonded with all my coursemates and that had actually made my day wonderful.
But during that afternoon, I had to spend half of the time in the kitchen to prepare the food for the evening session. It was pure CHAOS. My friends and I had to chase time so that our cooking would end right before 7pm. I instantly felt the pressure coming at me and I thought I just could not handle it. The kitchen was filled with all sorts of smell coming from the 12 pieces of chicken, the pungent smell of onions and garlic. I got sick when there were flies buzzing around me everywhere. There was water spilled on the kitchen floor which made my stomach flipped backwards. I knew I was going to get sick.
So yes, the foods were all prepared and done by 7pm. We got out of the kitchen, and head straight back to our hostels to get ready for the night session, which STARTS AT 8PM. I was thinking to myself, how on earth am I able to get ready within AN HOUR?
Right after I entered my room, I set my mind as if I'm a contestant in a competition where I had to get ready within an hour. I took my shower for 5 minutes, went and iron my clothes for another 5 minutes, got ready for 10 minutes, and went out of my room within 2 minutes. Now all I had to do was to race myself to the PPSK Cafe within 20 minutes.
As I was briskly walking on my own, suddenly I felt queasy inside.My mouth turned bitter. I couldn't breathe properly. I stopped my pace. Luckily there was a toilet right in front of me. And for the first time ever, I vomited. I know it sounds SUPER strange, crazy and nonsense but that was my very first time vomiting for the last 10 years. Not to say I enjoy vomiting or it makes me feel good, it's just something that I haven't thought of getting myself into when I'm grown up, knowing for a fact that I'm healthy and my health is well taken care of.
But yeah, somehow it just hit me that I'm still human and I could get sick anytime, despite eating and living healthy. I'm trying to improve on that lately. Oh well, that weekend was definitely worth remembering!
