serious indigestion
i made reservation to have dinner at ikoi miramar (japanese buffet, said to be really good) like 2 weeks ago. i was supposed to cancel the reservation cos the gang is meeting up but i didnt manage to. so the bf and i decided to go ahead with the dinner and meet up with the rest after dinner. for once, we were early. the place was really crowded and the tables were small, the staff were quite friendly and the service wasnt as bad as i thought. there wasnt any time limit but i was planning to leave in an hour or so so we could meet up with the rest.the bf and i thought the sashimi was too thick. it makes you feel sick and disgusted after a few slices. his fave tako sashimi tasted quite bad. the bf said its weird, when you bite on it, alot of liquid spurts out. the salmon sashimi doesnt taste as good either. overall, i would say the food is overrated. personally, we felt hanabi is better although many reviews say ikoi is the better one.after meeting up with the gang, we were on the way home when i felt discomfort in the stomach. the discomfort got worse and i started to feel pain. i took some pills upon reaching home but it didnt get better. when i get so sick i cannot sleep, it means its really serious. i felt so terrible.. i felt like puking and shitting but i couldnt. i refused to go to the doctor for fear that they will refer me to the hospital and thats the last place i want to go. but after struggling with the pain for a couple of hours (despite having a low tolerance for pain), i gave up and the bf sent me to a 24hours clinic at midnight. throughout the journey, he kept on reprimanding me. like so sick already can? *hmph!!! i couldnt even walk with my back straightened.the consultation fee was 60++ and the bf continued reprimanding, saying we would have save alot if i agree to see the doctor earlier. before midnight, the consultation charge is 19. but i was really afraid they would refer me to the hospital and i thought the pain would go away soon. the fear i had was something he wouldnt understand cos hes not someone who is afraid of pain and everything. the doctor pressed the right side of my abdomen lightly and asked if its more painful when he pressed down or let go, i thought for awhile (recall the many times doctors did the same thing and i said let go, whereby after they rule the possibility of appendicitis) and i replied him pressed down. i was so relieved when he said okie. in actual fact, he pressed so lightly i couldnt really tell which was more painful.he went on to draw a picture of the intestine and explain that the cramps were caused by the food moving up and down the stomach due to indigestion. he added that little bubbles will form up and slowly become big bubbles, thats why i feel bloated. for the first time, i requested for a jab to relieve me of the pain sooner. an hour after the medicine, the pain was still there. the jab was supposed to take effect after half an hour but it didnt. i went to the toilet like countless times. it wasnt until i forced the crap out that i felt a lil better. throughout the night, i had to visit the toilet thrice. it was so bad, i promised i'll never ever visit that restaurant again. even the thought of the food makes me feel disgusted now. i would advise if your stomach is weak, try not to go there. if you really want to, make sure you chew twice as many times on your food.
