The monkey on your back is the latest trend.Work started out fine today; jokes early in the morning, doing bar was manageable..until evening, when I started feeling giddy and nauseous. Suddenly I had difficulty breathing, my whole body (from my head to toe) started feeling numb and had pins and needles. I could barley stand and I fell to the ground in the kitchen. I breathed hastily and heavily. The chefs surrounding me called for Ken and Alix. They kept asking what's wrong with me but I couldn't reply. They lifted me up to take a seat, fed me with warm water and kept rubbing my cold hands. They also discussed that I should go home early and about how I was going to get home, until I decided to call my mom. What a mistake. After about 30 to 40 minutes, I felt slightly better (but still felt quite numb) and Fiona accompanied me to the toilet. I had to drag my heavy feet and customers were staring at me. I went to take a cab back to Bukit Batok (as instructed by my brother) and to meet him at the clinic. The doctor examined me and said I suffered from hyperventilation due to emotional and physical stress. This is the second time it happened to me (I didn't visit the doctor the first time) and it was more serious.
The event seemed pretty dramatic and it's kind of embarrassing, especially when one or two of the staffs saw me at this state before. I feel so lousy.
