Lesson 216 : Never have hot, spicy food after a long absence of it.

Date : 10/11/2005


Like every night, i wandered aimlessly to the dining hall, looking for dinner. i entered the dining hall and lo and behold, we have personal stir fry vege on the menu. i calmly picked my veges and chose chili garlic sauce, the hottest sauce available. i thought to myself, what the heck, it's american hot sauce, couldn't be that bad. well, i ordered for two scoops of the sauce. After tasting my vege, i found out that it is super hot. a trip to get some ice cold milk (BAD call, real bad call - explain later) revealed to me that the hot sauce was from hong kong and not america. still finished my vege and enjoyed it.

Time : 3 am

woke up sweating. had a real upset stomach. veges' partying. seems like they are all wearing pointy hats and real sharp high heels. had to visit the loo. slept at 3.30 am again

Time : 8 am

woken up by pain in stomach. visit loo again. milk was a very wrong choice to have with spicy food. when i was having my dinner, i thought of the advice i saw on tv about how u can reduce the stinging sensation in your tongue with sweet glutinious rice with santan. since i don't have that here, i superbly thought milk would be good replacement. well, i was horribly wrong.

Time : 9 am

After been woken up for the third time, had to take some action. brought out the cure-all from home : the powdery-herby-bittertasting medicine. (don't have another cureall - pil chi kit, so had to do with the powder). took it and everything seemed right again..
