Char Kway Teow diaries

So the rains have stopped this morning. Though the sun was up, it was still pretty chilly. Everyone still has their jackets, jumpers and hoods on. Welcome winter!

So Nazareth Hospital's got a new superior for the nursing nuns. She and the PR officer came to see me this afternoon. We bumped into the patriarch and we chatted up. Anyway the superior is a professional medic and she said I probably got a certain intestinal infection (can't pronounce the name ... too technical) which causes constant diarrhea and vomiting. She wants me to go for tests. Meanwhile I have to keep off certain foods and have to keep my tummy always warm - day and night.

Char Kway Teow takeaway
from Thai House

Well that's not going to stop me from having Char Kway Teow ... haven't had it in months. Was at Thai House 2 days back with my physiotherapist as we had a late session and we were both hungry. Was abit tough as he keeps kosher and Thai House food isn't. Ended up with TouFu tom yam and a chicken curry for him. I was surprised to find out that duck is kosher. I always thought otherwise. Anyway am suffering the consequence of eating ... got the cramps and diarrhea. Maybe I should go to Nazareth Hospital next week. The physio was good though as 70% of the pain in my neck and shoulders is gone.

Right now fighter jets are flying overhead. That means Israel is bombarding Gaza again. For the last 3 days there's been an exchange of missiles across the border but this morning Hamas called a truce. Also Israel fired into Syria as a second round of missiles "errantly" landed in the Golan Heights. It's the usual thing this time of the year - not too hot or cold to keep people indoors so they come out and cause trouble. When it gets colder and wetter, things will stop and people will go home to stay warm and watch tv.
