looong weekend

yippeee! it’s the long weekend… no work on Monday because of deepavali!
and no work for me on Tuesday too because i’m on leave!
WOOHOO!

it was double date again on Friday after work.
we went to dinner at T3 – sakae teppanyaki and then headed to a thai disco at city plaza.

ordered a bottle of martell. martell plus green tea is my best drink – i can hold this drink really really well.
unless i had the wrong food before drinking.

and oh man did i had the wrong food.
5 glasses later i do not feel even a bit high but i had to make my way to the toilet and induce puking.
i felt so bloated!

and i puked. lots of brown liquid and guess what… lots of garlic.

i’ve always suspected that too much garlic causes indigestion for me. and i think i proved it then.
everything in the teppanyaki meal (except the chawanmushi) is prepared with garlic – lots of them.

i was convinced that garlic was the culprit but i couldn’t really understand why.
i did a search online and saw that it’s been documented that garlic causes indigestion! well, i still dunno why, but at least i’m assured that i’m not strange and troublesome who is ‘allergic’ to garlic.

in the midst of my ‘research’, i also found the answer to why i feel bloated with coffee or tea with milk, but not so with black coffee or black tea. the answer is: BOTH caffeine and milk causes indigestion. thus when combined, one gets bloated more easily. oh, and peppermint can cause indigestion too! no wonder because if i drink peppermint tea, i feel bloated too.

so, must be disciplined and avoid these foods in future!

wanted to write more but i’m dozing off… need to wake up 5 hours later to book badminton court, so better turn in now… night…
