I hoped that they would all be well but it didn’t happen. Zaky and Daddy Lim both had the runs and Zaky had it bad. So much so that he woke me up at 2.30am, asking me if he can have some medicine that would stop the runs. He said that he LS-ed 5x in that hour. I gave him some charcoal pills. It helped! Thankfully!
Morning came and we were all alive. At least Nana didn’t have to fight for the toilet with the boys in the night. She was feeling better. Daddy Lim only LS-ed a couple of times in the night and things improved for Zaky after the charcoal pills. The lethargic boys. We kept switching sleeping positions throughout the trip, depending who needed the toilet more (and be nearer) and the infected shall sleep with the infected.
I went to tabao bfast with Auntie S and was telling her that when I was sick, it was one against the 3 healthy ones. Now that I am well, it was still one against 3. Zzzzzz. It was again MacD porridge and I also bought bread and ham.
Daddy Lim and Nana ate some. Zaky had no appetite. We were the family of Miserables. We had actually booked via Klook the floating market tour. The meet up was supposed to be 1pm, to some market and then the night floating market, completed with the firefly boat ride. Sounded so good right? However, none of them were game for the long car ride, worrying about the runs along the way. Bcos we decided to give it a miss, the other family teenagers have no companion and decided to forgo too. So wasted!
We really needed to have the room (and the TOILET!!) cleaned up. Daddy Lim made me buy proper hand wash soap, which I thought was stupid but it proved to be such a good choice. I felt like everything was so dirty and kept washing my hands with the soap for the remaining time.
We left to roam the mall, heading to the Big C after instructing the hotel to please clean up the room and toilet properly. We were hoping for a room change but given that it was a Friday and nearing the weekend, we had no such luck.
Big C isn’t great unless you want to buy snacks, groceries, beauty stuff or medical oils and alike. We hid in a cafe. Then decided to head back.
Daddy Lim and Zaky went back to the room 1st. Nana and I decided to roam Platinum Mall a little. At 1st, she was barely interested. Then she bought some earrings, then more jibbits, then a shorts, an iPod cover… and her energy came back. This was obviously retail therapy in the finest.
We headed back to the room, all cleaned up and the boys sleeping. The rest of the day was spent lazing around and watching Netflix.
Then, I opened the only snack that we bought for the trip.
I then realised that all other trips, we had snacks bcos I bought them. Hohoho. This trip, I was too sick and totally no appetite for snacks. Hoho. I am the problem. I couldn’t even finish the snacks, which is so off.
Nana was gaining energy. Daddy Lim was lethargic and nursing a low grade fever. Zaky was just sleeping a lot. We didn’t have proper lunch. They were all not hungry. I settled with the bread and ham from bfast. Dinner was at the same Thai Indo restaurant that we had dinner with Auntie S and kids on their 1st day. Nana vomited again before dinner. What we ordered for dinner were very safe and thus not appealing.
Just these 3 dishes and 2 white rice and we cannot even finished. I am the one with the biggest appetite but I am so sick and tired of safe food and look with envy at the mango sticky rice and banana prata that Auntie S posted on FB.
We all turned in early for the night.
