A Good One, This One...

On Saturday we drove to JB for a business cum personal trip, for a dinner party hosted by our business leader, one which he aptly called ‘Makan Berjaya’. It was a scorching hot day but rained cats and dogs when we reached Seremban. The sudden change of climate wasn’t good for me because then the dreaded migraine came a calling.

We stopped at Ayer Keroh RnR for a quick bite and solat. I felt bad for wasting the money buying the sup soto because a moment later everything came out again. I vomited until there was nothing there to vomit. My head throbbed like mad. The pain made me really angry, I felt I could overturn a lorry.

I slept the pain off for a few kilometres, hoping it would go away. But off course it didn’t. I woke up feeling hungry again and ate the fish cracker Amir bought. I kept it down until we reached the centre in JB but couldn’t hold it any longer on our way from the centre to my parents in laws’ house. Liquid fish cracker came out like there’s no stopping it. Pure luck, we had a plastic bag on stand by.

I was disappointed for not making it to the ‘Makan Berjaya’, held at Danga Bay. I was looking forward to meeting and sharing with the JB partners that night. Instead, I had to lie on bed, head still throbbing, feeling hungry but afraid to eat anything and feeling sorry for myself.

But, you know, even the darkest cloud has a silver lining. At least, two of our partners had a taste of what it was like to be in a big gathering such as that held in Danga Bay. Plus we get to see Mama and Abah after a four months lapse. All in all, I’d say it was a good trip.
