food poisoned

Yes I can now tick food poisoning off the list of life experiences conquered...
The buffet at the KL Tower is the main suspect and I'm never eating there again. Alanis Morissette would call it ironic - it was the first expensive meal I've had in KL... As a result, I missed a critical 5-hour meeting but I couldn't have got there - I could hardly stand up in the lift to go to level 8 to get some fizzy drink (I found something that tops Lucozade in the placebo effect stakes). Colleagues and the cleaning lady were very sweet and offered to bring me drugs but all I need is time and sleep... and Mum of course...
On a positive note, I've just booked to go to Penang for the weekend, joining a friend Claire from Perth who is there for a wedding. I am excited at the thought of being in a holiday spot and seeing a familiar face from home.
Update: Another new-colleague-buddy ("The Pingsta") has just succumbed to "Buffet Bug Belly", 24 hours after I did, and 48 hours after Jimmy did. I feel inclined to write the KL Tower a dirty letter about their hygiene practices but maybe I won't, for fear of being given a free voucher to another meal at their anorexia-inspiring buffet! After a phenomenal amount of sleep, I managed a somewhat brain-dead half-day in the office today, just in time for a public hol tomorrow (Deepavali). Apparently it's traditional for Hindus to open their homes for friends for a meal at Deepavali, but we haven't managed to be invited anywhere. My new friend from Melbourne is disappointed but I'm relieved - I'm not so brave around strange kitchens at the moment!
