Back in the days I was only 45kg and lighter, whenever I had snacks when I'm sick, I get the taste of the cane.

About 10 years ago, my dad suddenly proclaimed that one can only eat ice-cream to relieve sore throats. I thought he was making such a statement so he'll have umpteen excuses to get me buy ice-cream for him (note* Expensive ice-cream brands like Haagen Daz and Ben & Jerry).

Of coz, according to him, it was his doctor's orders.


Now, We still stick to such self-relieving methods. Only I found, the best ice-cream to relieve a very sore throat is plain old vanilla ice-cream, which doesn't leave you with more stickier phlegm after a session of self-healing.


And yes, I caught a cough bug, which left me burning with fever on and off, and both ears itching from inside my head and a constant building up of pressure that's enough to drive me migraine-y crazy, since last night.

I strongly suspect, it must be from that Indian boy (nope, I'm not racist here, its a fact) coughing at my face on the MRT on Wednesday, with his mum staring at me with disgust of his son's coughing and offered no words of apologies.

For God's sake, cover your mouth and cough next time!!

And that's how virus spread, with people like them, who has no consideration for others.
