A Tale Of Fisbone
I am here in my hospital bed
Five hour after my endoscopy procedure.
Yesterday i accidentaly swallowed a fishbone.
I was hungrily feasting on a small-sized tuna fish head.
Trying to suck every little flesh from the sumptous, and tasteful delicacy in this part of the country.
Cooked in several mixtures of vegetables like eggplant, raddish, kangkong leaves, few tomatoes and some crushed sampaloc and lemons to add a sour blend.
The dish was so tempting oblivious of its dangers- the lifethreathening fishbones which apparently got stuck in my esophagus...ughh!
I swear, ill never eat bony fish again!
I tried to swallow some unchewed bananas and rice but to no avail..
I can still feel a throat discomfort which eventually progressed to mild chest heaviness..
I called up my doctor and he advised to observe the symptoms till the next morning.
And the rest is history.
My lessons:
Eat slowly and carefully
Separate the fishbones first before you eat the flesh..
Or better not eat fish which is infested with tiny bones like milk fish, or any fish heads..
I thank God i'm well

12 hours in Kuala lumpur: what to see, where to eat and where to shop
This is my second time in kuala lumpur.
I spent 12 hours in KL last week and i visited the twin towers and the sprawling gardens in the vicinity. In the wee small hours of the dawn, a cab worth 111 RM took us to the Ancasa Hotel and spa which is actually just a walking distance to Chinatown and the Central Market. The sleepy Malay receptionist greeted me lazily- sorry no yet time for early check in... Which is actually about 3 hours later. I saw a bunch of chinky tourists sleeping on the sofa lobby. Perfect! I can see vacant divans in the corner just in front of the souvenir shop. So tired i was that the next thing i knew, i was woken up by Meloy. Grabbed my luggage and off we ran for the elevator for our 5th floor room.
This time, our itinerary included as follows:
1. Window shopping at the central market. Its an edifice which was built in the late 19th century originally as a wet market. A famous KL landmark and considered as a heritage site. It now serve as a showcase of multicultural and multi ethnical Malaysia with clusters of shops selling batiks, souvenir meibutsu.. (930-11 am)
2. The Chinatown at Petalling street. Which is similar to our own Divisoria.Meloy got a class A backpack for 110 RM after me haggling( originally priced at 180 RM) (11-1230 nn)
3. Brunch at the coffee shop in the Central Market (1030-11)
4. Bought post cards at Menara KL Tower which i sent to my parents and myself, a Filipina named Mary Ann from San Leonardo, Nueva Ecija assisted us.
5. Sight seeing tours at the Butterfly Park. We enjoyed photographing the national buterflies of Malaysia, some rare insects and turtles. (12-2pm
6. high tea at the revolving restaurant at KL Tower at 50RM per person. (3-5:30pm)
7. Shopping at Central Market - bought some chocolates, brass compass from a Kashmiri shop, an Indian pen ( 5:30-7pm)
8. Since we're still full from our previous gastronomic tour at tea time, went to Hatung Heritage Restaurant for coffee and kaya sandwhich. (8-9 pm)
