.getting there!

Typography.

I think I'll be ready to go out for some photo walk session in a few days time! But first, I need to get rid of this stubborn cough, which has been stuck with me for exactly 2 weeks now. Yep, I've been coughing for 2 bloody weeks – and that's half a month! Ugh! So much time wasted! >:(

I am winning the battle! And I will win soon!!!!!!!

My secret to winning? Garlic. Sure, it gave me quite a bad garlic breath but it's working pretty well. So here's another thing I've learned from this two-week cough session – garlic is good for coughs!

Eat them raw or add some dark caramel sauce and use them as dipping sauce for dinner! It's really good! :D

Alright, wish me luck!

.tea deprived

Tea.

Many of you should know that I'm a huge fan of tea, particularly those from China, Japan and Taiwan. I love tea! I've been addicted to it since I was 7 and am proud of it!

Apparently, you are not supposed to drink tea when you're down with a bad cough. And it's true, even though most doctors say nothing about it. I guess chamomile and peppermint tea are okay for coughs... But it's best to just stick with plain (not cold) water.

So I've been drinking plain water for the past 10 days. Not fun. I haven't had tea for 2 weeks now and it's killing me!!!

Please don't get me wrong, I don't mind plain water since it's healthy.. But I really want a variety of drinks... Honey lemon doesn't seem to be working for phlegm-y coughs so I've stopped drinking it...

...

Anyways, I think I'll just continue to drink more water and hope it can get rid of the cough sooner, so I can go back to drinking tea.

.gradually

Soft Companion.

For the past 10 days in bed, I had a companion named Julius.. And I've been hugging it to bed everynight without fail. On some nights, I'd wake up and find Julius' arm resting on my head.. It's true!

Hey all! I'm back.. Well.. Kinda. I'm still a little too groggy to be driving but I'm glad I'm gradually going back to my daily routine and chores. The cough is still clinging onto me and I don't know if it will ever go away.. :\ Perhaps distracting myself by doing loads of things will help get rid of it..

I got some EXTRA STRONG peppermint candies while grocery shopping today to soothe my throat further.. And extra Vicks VapoRub for the night, when the cough worsens.

Speaking of Vicks VapoRub, I think some of you guys might have heard that applying it on the sole of your feet and putting socks on help when you're having a bad cough during the night. It does actually! I could sleep through for a good few hours before waking up to cough and re-apply VapoRub on my feet. So do give it a try if you are suffering from a cough too, especially if it's been giving you sleepless nights. :D (Thanks for the info, Aryen!)

Alright, I'm going to get back to chores now. Later! :D

.a remedy for indigestion

The Remedy.

I woke up with a really bad indigestion this morning.. It was so bad that I could barely do anything.. So SF had to go get some coke for me.
And it works! I'm still feeling bloated at the moment but my abdomen does not hurt that much anymore.
