We attended apps staff’s wedding reception at Sekinchan on Sunday afternoon.
We took the old road through Sungai Buloh, towards Kuala Selangor. The journey took us about 1 ½ hours, which included a stretch of winding road.
It was a hot sunny afternoon, and I was already having a headache. It was worse since I didn’t take my sunglasses from my car.
Just as we finished the winding road stretch, I was telling apps that he better get ready with a plastic bag. I told him I might throw up, but he did not believe me!
I thought I have successfully passed that stage of throwing up during winding road journeys?!
I remember how I used to throw up when I was younger on most of our trips down south (no proper highways back then).
As I trying to occupy my minds with other stuffs, I noticed Champion didn’t want to sit by himself, and was trying to find a comfortable position.. and was extremely quite.
Before I knew it, he started gagging.
*blink*
He threw up!
Just in time, I was able to hold my palm under his chin and asked for apps to get me a towel.
But by the time apps stopped the car by the road side, next to an oil palm estate in the single lane road and got me the towel, Champion was already trying to push my hand away from him. He didn’t like the contents of vomit right in front of his face. This is the first time he is throwing up. He started crying.
I gave in to him, and I got myself messed up! *sigh*
Seeing anna crying, thambi decides to cry! Huh? Why?!
Apps brought Champion out of the car, cleaned him up. Champion threw up a bit more..
While I was trying to clean myself and the car, lil’ President was wailing away. I guess he was afraid to be alone in the car.
Only after we all got back into the car, lil’ President stopped crying.
I told apps to get both of them something to munch on for the rest of the trip so that they can divert their mind from the journey.
At the nearest restaurant, we got both of the ‘kaya’ pau and some snacks. Yeah, snacks.. this time they are excused ;)
On our way home, we took the route through Klang since we were going to my parents place. Most importantly, we wanted to avoid the winding road. Luckily both of them dozed off during our journey back; one in the car seat and another in my arms.

my wife also will get car sick like you if she move too much... hopefully my son don't inherit that :P
egghead,
Is it? I was like that when I was younger, but now okay oredi (I though;P
I hope LLS doesn't inherit it too.. so susah isn't it when travelling. Next time I have to pack more clothes for both of them for trips like this *sigh*
Its really hard travelling with young children, but it is part of growing up. I remember I was travelling from Chicago to Los angeles bringing my daughter who was a year old for my family to see. made sure she looked really pretty with a new dress etc. She threw up on the plane, I had no change of clothes in my carry on and so had to walk out with her just wearing a diaper.So much for wanting to show her off.One day you are going to look back on this and laugh.
starry nights,
Yeap, especially with loads of change clothes! Normally I have 3 change clothes each, but on that day, it was not enough *sigh* At the end of the day, Champion had to use lil' President's shorts. Luckily it fit him :)
Ooops.. so much for show off huh! ;P
What an outing huh? And you didn't throw up after the mess Champion made?
I get motion sickness too.. esp if I have to take my eyes away from the road and attend to something in the car for too long...
zara's mama,
Yaloh.. after attending to him.. my mind was cleared. I was also muching on pau and snacks... so nausea feeling flew away :)
Yeah, I can't even read while on the road... In these cases, I prefer to drive. It helps me ;)
