Squeak...squeak

It's the year of the Rat...and Mickey Mouse has not been kind. This fire dragon has done the reverse of most Chinese New Year traditions..instead of the usual weight gain, I lost 2 kilo's.How did I do it? It's called food poisoning..and it must be timed right, ie on CNY eve...that way, 1st day, 2nd day..and onwards, you really can't eat anything, don't feel like eating anything and hence ...don't gain anything!

Had to pass on all the goodies..the cookies, the fried bulbs, the dried meat ( even now the mere thought of this makes me sick, when usually a Pavlov reaction would ensue).BH's cousin inlaw was amazed at my self restraint as I watched everyone indulge..I had to tell her, it wasn't self restraint, it was forced restraint.

Well, apart from the diet..CNY has been enlightening..meeting Bh's side of the family, and boy is it a family, has been fun..it's amazing to see so many characters..hmm...now I know where he gets his sense of humour. But honestly, can't remember much past the first day..the other days went by like a breeze..well, more like an acrid stench, as I was pretty much in bed most the time, mouth sour, tummy all a rumble..but the good news is..I'm still on holiday!!!!!! Yeah, am off for one whole week..till friday! Why? Why not? Heck..I missed 4 days already, right?

Am gonna try to enjoy the last vestiges of my holiday..house hunting,home loan shopping,home furnishing shopping,dress fitting, wedding planning and all..oh, did I forget to mention gastro specialist visiting as well? Yeah, 3 gastritis attacks in one month is a bit too much. Finally decided to see the tummy guy again..this time he wants to shove another probe in..geez..I really wanna say NO!!!! But the family is pushing for it..damn it! So, am on meds and no dairy,no seafood,no spice diet...basically means no good food diet..and probably will lose more weight! The only upside to this fiasco.So, how was your CNY holiday?
