Going to Get Sick

Feeling weird/heaty this morning, so already eaten canned "guo lin guo" this morning. But by afternoon flu coming non-stop. So, on the way back from work, I dropped by local herb store and bought this "sheshecao" pellet and some flu medicine (super strong, drowsy type).




This is very easy to mix. If you prefer cold one, put a bit hot water to liquidify the pellet, then add water and ice. Since I already have my pineapple juice, I only have a warm version today. In my younger days, I used to just make a jug....and drink drink drink...with lotsa ice! The weird thing is, its price never increase since 15 yrs ago :) I bought this at 6.50, while some supermarket might sell 7.99, so check your price. 

It was weird that I gotten sick. I means didn't he just did? Why me? I know we had a lots in common but this is just too weird, of course he never knew cuz I could read his blog, while no one know about mine. In the herb shop, I also buy this "tan ngan lou" herb tea lah! Why? Because he mentioned he did drank that before, so well......sort of wanna know what is the taste. What did he tasted before...sound like a psyco right?

Yesterday, before I went to bed, I did online a while and ops...he is there....online but since he didn't add me chat, I didn't kacau him too. What am I thinking? yeah..I know....this person u have been daydreaming daily, and he is finally online, and u are too finally same hours...yeah at 2am....but what did u do? U just stare at his lighted nick...just like that! I seriously think i am outta my mind.....should say hi or ask him about his recovery right....yeah....no....maybe he is bz with some1....maybe he don't wanna talk to u...yeah....that too....maybe he just back from dating, and wanna chat with his date so soon already....yeah....that too....omg! These scanario playing in my mind for that 10min while I stared at his nick. Did you forgot he still recovering from his sickness? Then how can he go on date? I am like this, when I scared, I will create many reasons to give myself reason to support what I am afraid to do. Just created many made-believe scenarios to worsen my own life. Typical cancerian, or typical cancerian ram only..sigh!

I promised myself to log out after that...and I did. Curled up in my bed afterward....feeling down....wishing I could at least say hi....at least maybe ask about his health...argggggggggggggggg...i hate all these. Why I am such a scary cat? All my life, could I maybe take initiative for the 1st time, for this once! Maybe, u two not meant to be....maybe he is not destined to know who i am, what this little crab truly is.   



















 

Pineapple Juice

Bought a few pineapple at Tesco  few days ago for 99cents each! Although not feeling too well, but gotta juice it now or it will rot 2molo (too experienced by now :) ). The top part sort of blacken, while the thorny area started to go yelllow. When this happen, the next day it will turn all yellow while the blacken tip will be mushy.



 So, I cut all four, on the floor. Newspaper comes in handy at time like this. Everything ready in less than 5min.



Wash abit and proceed to my juicer. A lot of people don't buy pinepaple for juicing purpose, thinking the works and the cutting part also scared them off. Contrary to popular belief that you should trim the fruit like fruit stall (it take additional 10min for me per unit to trim the thorn out, so kinda time consuming), you could just juice it like the picture above as most good quality modern juicer has the technology to sieve out the solid part (super mesh/micron mesh,etc). My fresh juice in less than 15min.....well for the production of 1.5jug of juice!



Although I don't have to complain as the less people like to juice pineapple, the better it is for me as no one race with me during any store's pineapple promotion kekekkekeke! I could leisurely take my time to choose even when it's selling 99cents each, while other promotion area was over-crowded with peoples. Example? On the same day, Tesco's is selling fresh whole chicken for 3.99/kg, I choosen 2 and the queue to weighed/cut the chicken is like 15pax long and counting. I lost interest and proceed buying the frozen dory fish instead (well, the fresh one is like min 30% more expensive than the wholesale wet market near my place, so there).

Talk a bit about the drink above, refeshing and naturally sweet already...mmmmm....what a life! :)

Ops...now to clean up the juicer machine...:O Truly wish I am at my mum's place now shouting.....kakak...kakak...cuci ya! That is why I never bake again since I moved here, cuz too much items to wash and I don't have a kakak here to help me clean-up :P

Before I forgot, pineapple juice is very nutritious and also good for our skin. Do googled it....I m too lazy to give lecture on bromelain enzymatic activities again! Doing that a lot to encourage my pimpled friends to drink-up in the past.
