on hacking cough and drippy nose...

well, time for my annual major sickness again. Well, the Lord has blessed me with a good constitution. Normally I am not the type to fall sick easily. But when I do fall sick, I do get all the various sicknesses coming altogether in one bandwagon.



It all started when I went to try my sister's recommendation of Pepper Lunch Express at Dhoby Gaut exchange last Wednesday. Don't get me wrong, the food was fantastic. But I just wolfed it down too fast. Think the sizzling hot Shimofuri beef scalded part of my gums and caused an ulcer to pop out.


Then because of the ulcer, had a slight fever. Then took a cold shower while in the feverish state, and caught the flu bug. Then as the mucus from the drippy nose flow backwards down my gullet*, I also developed a cough. Thank God don't have sore throat, if not it'll be really a nightmare of minor illnesses.



Am getting better now, due to constant hydration**, plenty of sleep and 京都念慈庵川贝枇杷膏, am getting better already. Whatever it is, it'll take about 2 weeks before the flu bug runs its course in my boy. Hoping won't spread it to my brother, because his exams are coming. Well, time for my medicine...

    nah, no more Pepper lunches for me. If want peppery food, can just ask Mom to put more pepper seeds into the dishes that she cooked. Cheaper ah....
