That ‘funny’ feeling…now it’s gone. Oh-hohoho…

Don’t know about you guys but I seriously had this ‘problem’.

Did you know my daily ritual of wajib minum kopi? During the first half of the Holy Month of Ramadhan, my preparations for sahur & iftar wont be complete unless there was a hot steaming mug of coffee (among other things) served on the table. I’ve been adding portion of 3-in-1 oat drinks (for sahur) too for that extra ‘Ummppp!’ (not eating much veges & fruits – so sue me)

Then I started ‘breaking wind’(fart, flatulence - whatever you call it) – here, there & everywhere…Hehehe…


Er, not that funny at all.


Not when you burped/belched all day long (like every 10min - not that Im checking the time), aside from farting (nasib baik not as frequent and NO SMELL at all, this I’m sure off 'k), feeling nauseated & queasy (to the extent of throwing up sometimes – tak sengaja) which consequently causes me a lot of embarrassment as my colleagues (outside) might think I’m eating alone in the office (makan kenyang kah sampai sendawa? Coz dah ada kes ni hahaha), rushing through prayers, inconvenience of trying to hold ‘it’, etc.

Until one bright sunshiny day, a light-bulb moment happened to click in my mind, “It must be all the coffees (on empty stomach)!!!” (Nope, not such thing lah…a concerned friend merely asked about my current diet!)

Will drinking Eno helps? No.

Did I eat such & such foods which together produced the most powerful, gaseous combinations inside the tummy? Mostly not I guess. Nasi Goreng? Kue Teow? Roti? Nah.

Later today I found out that oats – the fibre on a ‘dried’, empty stomach, not enough water….Not good!"Buat mereka yang mengambil oat... kekurangan air akan menyebabkan angin memandangkan ia terdiri daripada serabut yang tinggi." Puasa Pakar Diet, K*smo

So, it’s been 5 whole days (& nights) of UNCOFFEEnated myself. Lessen the turmoil. Though I might start to hallucinate. Withdrawal symptom.

But tea also not good enough. (both caffeine in coffee & theine in tea, acting as stimulant, are diuretic)

Been treating myself with halia + madu drinks. Urghhh!

Added some horlicks to trick my mind of ‘the delicious taste & smell’. Almost better. A lil’ bit.

Any other plausible suggestions?

Psst! The title came from an old 70’s song that is playing on my mind – lyric tweaked accordingly to my finicky taste. Double entendre? If only you know ‘the story’..
