I was down for almost a week. Twice. Which makes me down for a total of 2 weeks.
At first it was flu. Terrible flu. No fever, only flu, sore throat, cough. And of course, tiredness. I didn’t see a doc and slept for a few days to recovery.
OK for about a week – with tiredness. And then was attacked by the extremely cold air-conditioner at work place and sick again. Fever, cold, mild cough and flu. Slept for 48 hours straight without eating anything. And finally went to see our family’s regular Chinese Med practitioner.
He was very surprised at my condition. He concluded that my body was too weak (虚) and I had 风寒, a type of ‘flu’ normally caught by people under extremely cold weather. That explained why I was so afraid of the wind and I couldn’t even drink normal water – I could only drink warm/hot water, even until now!
Anyway, I was then found in dreamland for a few more days. And at one point, when I was awake, I wanted so badly to eat. Tomyam. Steamboat. Wantan soup. And more.
Finally yesterday, we arranged for a steamboat session. It was supposed to be a simple one between me and Wah but mum and the rest wanted to join in the session. So we ended up having a full table of food…
And Wah tried his hand on Mochi today. They really don’t look nice but tasted awesome! :)
