Kembang Semangkuk


Kembang Semangkuk




Tak Kembang Seplastik


Cough are getting better. Been faithfully eating the antibiotics and the antihistamines. However today is the 5th day I'm without my voice. The agony of not being able to express in words is frustrating. After this the mutes have my utmost respect.

Today my mom said..this can't go on...go to the kedai belakang and buy kembang semangkuk.

Ok..so off i go..

Dengan confidentnya I asked the mamak for kembang semangkuk Expecting to see a big huge flattery thingy in a bag instead he handed me a packet with the content looking like hazelnuts. Paid for it and home I drive.

I soaked it in a bowl of water following my mom instructions..... and how kembang can a kembang semangkuk be..phewww...

How ignorant I am on all these small things. The other day a friend of mine gave me a singers tip for sore throat. She was saying few things that I understood then 'jarum emas'. So I literally asked her you actually down that gold needle? Nasib la kawan dah lama or she would prolly think I'm some kind of idiot... Tak lah jarum emas tu is a daun like rumput tajam-tajam...

For now I hope this kembang semangkuk works...

Under the weather

The last time I suffered coughing this bad was like 4 years back... but that was because I was not prepared for that cold winter. I like had to push myself at a corner and maintain my pelvic squeeze so that I can save on those diapers yoo..

This is bad...I hope I can recover soon...it's been months..but it's getting horrid now. It just has to happen with my new job...

I'm aching everywhere and medical leave in a new place..dun look to good. Head feels like cracking, my rib about to break in two, it's freakin hot and I have to refrain from switching on the ac, my back hurts from sittin' straight at night..mind you coughing while lying down, it's agony.

Please let this be over soon...
