♫ Motion sickness ♫
I came up with a rather interesting conclusion about myself today. Which I thought was pretty cool, well, in a way.
My conclusion for the day: I get motion sickness without music.
Weird huh. But I find it pretty damn true. I had a 2nd occurrence today and this had to be it.
The first time it happened, I was in a taxi about a week ago. It was dead silence when I stepped into the cab. My first encounter in a vehicle without music, and it felt weird to me. To begin with, I cannot stand to live without music. So weird aura left me a little unsettling. Thinking it would (what have supposed to) be a short trip, I thought I would survive the trip. However, the silence grew in my head and I was suddenly have headaches, to a point that it actually felt like exploding. The silence was deafening and I could hear them, literally. The worst thing that could ever happen, happened. The taxi driver misheard my destination and drove me to another part of the city. I cringed at the point of realization. By then, I was breaking into cold sweat and having dizzy spells. The next thing I know, I was trying my best to push down that something in my throat which was forcing its way out of my mouth. The silence was insane as we buzzed through the streets and I wanted to wind down the window. It was to a point whereby even noises would have helped, except that I was in too weak a state to even do that. That half an hour journey was the worst vehicle experience ever despite the good driving from the driver. I have to give credit to him because it wasn't his fault. The moment I alighted, the thing in my throat came up to my mouth. This may sound gross, but I actually swallowed it back. It wasn't a lot, and heck, I didn't want to vomit on the streets while carrying my luggage in my heels & dress.
I was almost half dead by the time I reached home, ended up eating plain porridge and slept through the next 10 hours that night. But I dismissed that as a one-time incident. Something I hope would be the first and the last.
The 2nd weird occurrence happened today. I had a bad omen before leaving home when I realized that I did not charge my psp. My handphone's earpiece wasn't working so I had been relying on my psp. I thought I could survive a day, and I was so wrong. Halfway during the journey from Yishun to Pioneer, the sick feeling came back. With only dizzy spell this time round. I felt so sick that I had to sit on the floor (since there was no seats and I wasn't near any). So in the end, I barely survived badminton. Did some really nice shots (some of my best, in fact) at the start of the game and that was it. I lasted for less than 45 minutes. There after, it was breaks longer than match. HA.
It might have been random, or it might have been separate incidents. But I thought it might be true too. I simply cannot stand silence ringing in my head. :S
