Didn't do much over Christmas or New Year's as I was down with a cold and cough. It was so bad, I saw 2 different western physicians, the first gave me medicine that didn't work, the second prescribed antibiotics and cough syrups (2! the phlegm was so scary I needed two different cough mixtures) that sort of eased the night coughing bouts but didn't quite stop me from coughing out my lungs in the day. Desperate times call for desperate measures so I finally bit the bullet and bought some super expensive Chinese medicine that is "chopped, stamped, guaranteed" to cure me in 3 days. It's been 3 days. The medicine has really cured most of my extremely phlegmy cough, although not entirely. I would say I'm almost 80% well after a 3-day course. I should walk back to Eu Yan Sang and tell the lady she needs to stop peddling this medicine like some magic cure. Admittedly, they are very effective, I felt better the next morning after taking the first dose the night before. But be warned, they come in these small bottles of mustard green powder, almost like macha/green tea powder, but it tasted so bitter I had to always psycho myself before I gulped it down. Oh, and according to the ladies that sold me this medicine, I was not allowed any consumption of chicken meat or eggs.
So as I was saying, 2013 didn't start off too well for me because of health reasons. BUT, I'm now 80% well, so that's good news. I have 3 days left to my first KTV session with the gals at Kbox Marina Square on Friday night before flying off to Okinawa early Saturday morning. I need to get well in 3 days. I must. I will. Please please please let me get well by Friday.
