I have been having a really back stomach of late.. Rather bad. It started kicking in on Tuesday...Ever since I've been here, I think my single meal appetite has shrunk heaps. I take less food in one meal. Often enough but not filling. And that has made me kinda hungry on and off. So on Tuesday, I had to hurry for the bus, so I took minimal breakfast which is the usual cereal. I forgot to pack my lunch.
During school, due to the long interval between classes I decided to skip lunch, at the same time, save some money. To be honest, things here are heaps expensive, especially if you convert them to Riggit. I think it is a really bad habit to convert if you are actually living in a foreign country which has a higher currency. I think right now, the only way to actually safe money is manage your spending. Anyway, I took that time to head down to Michael's to have a little nap, after all, I did have a 2 hour break.
On the way walking back to school, I felt a little kick in the stomach area but had to ignore it as I needed to increase my pace or I might be late for class! But actually, I arrived 15 minutes earlier. However, I didnt bother the little kick in the stomach, it was so mild that I thought, I'll deal with it after class which was 2.5 hours later.
So as the class commence, slowly, that kick or should I say ache started going really bad. It was hurting like hell! I could feel my stomach being pierced by some sharp object. It was just painful, and class had only start like an hour or less! I was in agony, but I wanted to hold on. Wiaam did try to get me some food because I assumed it was a stomach ache due to the skipping meal stuff! But I guess the eating was just too late. The stomach was hurting and burning and my tummy was growling so loud that the people sitting next to me can even hear it!
The twist of the stomach, the poke, the compression, it was so painful that I wanted to do a Kamikaze.... Or some samurai thing where they take their katana and stab themselves in the stomach and kill themselves.
The teacher too not much note of it but hope that I get better as she really doesnt know what to do besides allowing me to eat. Half way through the second class, I just couldnt stand it anymore. Rushed out to the toilet. Felt like puking. And yes, it did come about, together with some white fluid with some blood and a think some stomach lining.
I have learnt my lesson. But I did go to a doctor and he said that it is not due to hunger but might be bowel irritation!
Anyway on another unrelated news,
I found my connect group for Hillsong in Sam Thwaites, one of Prishan's friend and Wendy's as well! Anyway, I look forward to the first meeting, but I just they will ask me to do something really silly or embarrassing as an introduction.
I also went for my first Youth Session on Sunday evening as well as Vision Sunday and Hillsong Kids to help out on the same day. Yes, I know it was tiring but it was worth it. Got to play and help out with some kids and got myself start thinking again when I was in church. Time to focus about the future and leave the pass behind.
Besides that, I've had my first Power House service. Power House is a youth group for a certain age. Met heaps of people there and had heaps of fun! I look forward to it next week and the weeks to come. Not only because the songs are great and what you learn is for your benefit in life, I get to dance to a live DJ with house music, R&B..... At the end of the services!
