BitterSweet Pain

For durian lovers whose age are 40 over, let me give you one advice... don'tever eat durians if your stomach is not filled with food yet.. in other words, don't eat with an empty stomach or hungry stomach, like I did....

We had a durian fest in the office the other day during lunch time. ON that particular day, I didn't take lunch, just breakfast... and I ended up taking 5 or 6 seeds of durians, not too many, right?

Well, the next thing I know, ie after two hours, I felt something not right at my back ... A sharp pain jabbing me behind the left side of my back..... OUCh...!!! The pain seemed to be here and there... I quickly asked my colleague to massage my back.... (Gouri, if you are reading this, terima kasih ah.... ) She told me that was angin (wind) and she did a good job with her powerful hands, only sounds of Ooww.... OOOWWWWwww was heard....

THIS IS CALLED BITTERSWEET PAIN.......


one lesson learnt..


eat durians only after meals..
and not when hungry...

    Hello Claire, about your question on paying post....if i were you, NO. You will have a hard time asking for the payment. I delete my account from them. I have already $52 which they keep on changing the maximum payout. from 25 to 50 and now 100. My friend has $200 plus yet they did not pay her for six months. She had to complain many times to pay pal. She got paid though. But, if you take the risk, its up to you. Again, i delete my account and the post i made from them. My $52 is gone too.

    Ouch, but you know what some doctors are advicing the public to eat fruits with empty stomach, their reason for that is , the fruits works to detoxify our body and so it is best if taken before lunch.

    Wait a minute, you ate five or six seeds? And they are those large looking things in the fruit you are showing? No wonder you had pain. And when you said wind, do you mean gas in your intestines? I would think something that large and nutty like just might cause that. LOL

    smallkucing: i also dont know till the malay colleagues told me.. i had a jabbing pain behind..then they said..oh..angin la tu..


    amy: in that case, i will give up too.. wasted efforts! LOL....


    elin: shhhhh... dont let boss know!


    Yen: depends on which type of fruit, this king fruit is something not to be taken empty stomach and so is the jackfruit, they cause u to bloat up :p


    patty: 6 seeds meant the small ones inside not the big huge thing with thorns, wow, i could never finish 6 durians in one go.. the most 5 to 6 seeds, yes.. they r yummy! but face the consequences after that... not happen to all, but to certain ppl like me..

    Voon: to me lar, i must eat something first before eating durians, maybe my bfast was digested when i took the durians thus causing pain in my back...


    Loo: i m sure your stomach was still filled with food when u ate durians for lunch and dinner.. i know u love those, right? furthermore, u r younger ma... *wink*


    lynette: yes, durian is king of fruits, normally grown in tropical countries only.. it smells good to most and smells like shit to others.. hahaha...


    housewife: yes, that i know.. sure die one? hahaha.. who dare to try!!


    misterdicious: i wonder what happens when i m in 50s.. something new might crop up.. :p


    cheryl: it is a thorny fruit, hard shell, u need a big knife to pry it open and when it does, u get all those yellowish seeds inside and u put them into your mouth and said.. "hmmmmmm... yummm!" or... "URGH!! GET THAT AWAY FROM ME!!!"
    LOL.....


    Kadazanman: open windows wide wide and after one night, no more.. wind has blown them away.. and wait for another day when someone brings them to the office again.. hahhaaa...

    But yes, cannot eat too much durians at one go, will feel bloated. And must drink lots of water after eating them, or will get heaty and sore throat.

Three Hours City Tour At Ensenada, Mexico

A THREE HOURS CITY TOUR when we embarked in Mexico on the second morning.   My sister booked the three hours city tour in Ensenada, Mexico, a van came to pick us up from the port.  Ensenada is the border of Mexico and it reminds me of Hatyai, a border town too between Malaysia and Thailand.  We were taken to a shopping area where we must haggle for the goods.  LOL.. Yes, something common in my own country... Anyway, we did not buy anything for ourselves... just a wooden handmade truck for my grandson which cost $8usd.   Nothing much to shout about on this three hours excursion, I was so sleepy on the way back to the ship that I dozed off and only awaken when we were driven through the town.  All in all, I just wanted to step onto Mexican soil and I would give this a miss if I were to go on this Mexico cruise again.  LOL... At the open area shopping walking towards the Blowhole... This is La Bufadora Blowhole, an amazing natural marine geyser that is capable of shooting water over 60 fe

Exploring The Sea Cruise Royal Caribbean

CRUISING ALONG.... Once we deposited our bags in our cabins, we had our buffet meal at the Hammerjack restaurant and exactly at 4pm, we heard a loud Horn signal...  ITS TIME TO SAIL ALONG THE PACIFIC OCEAN! And while the ship started to sail, we humans started to walk and explore.... to familarize ourselves inside the ship....  Elevators on each side of the ship....  Making my mark....  On another side....  We walked along to check out our food outlets... This Promenade Cafe  had became our regular joint .... We like to sit there enjoying our hot drinks and desserts... Free flow of food day and night.... Passing through the bars to the casino... The casino will open only when the ship is in international waters...  At one of the jackpot machines... I wonder if they are real?? But they are only $1 bundles... Then we went up to the highest floor.... The swimming deck.... Taken against the sun.... Nice sunset in the evening.... The Happy Trio!

First Day In The Royal Caribbean Cruise To Mexico

ROW ROW ROW YOUR BOAT.... gently down the sea....  Royal Caribbean, it is my second time following this giant vessel, the first time was from Singapore to Phuket, that was a very nice cruise.  So when my son mentioned that he found a good deal online, this time to Mexico, I agreed without hesitation.  Let's Go! A three nights stay with food and lodging only cost around $250 per person with at least one senior in per room.  Meals were either buffet style or fine dining, we can choose and cafes were opened 24 hours for us to rest and relax.  How not to resist... LOL...  And so here we are... just one week after landing in US, I was on the sea....  Looks small from afar...  It was a giant vessel with at least 14 floors.... On the way to embarking after Custom Clearance...  Our room for the next three nights....  Small and cosy.... And adjoining to my son's family room through a door...  The one with balcony cost a bit more...  A short briefing about safety after we checked in....
