The Exclusive Package to Avoid

My body felt battered after being sick for almost a month now. It all started after I came back from Genting. God knows what kind of bug entered my body and when. So I got the most exclusive package anyone could ever get - sore throat, flu, cough and slight fever. For the first few weeks, I can barely speak. So I had to cancel all my classes. A week! No replacement for them though... gave them enough activities to cover up the lecture hours LOL. So went to see the doctor a few times and was given three courses of antibiotics within two months! I guess my tummy must be pretty upset now because all the good bacteria are gone. I'm slowly recovering though. A friend found a home-made remedy for relieving cough. After taking it for 4 days now, my cough is slowly subsiding. Here's the remedy that I would love to share with you. You would need an orange, a knife, a bowl, a pinch of salt, a fork and a steamer. Before you start, soak the orange in salted water for 15 minutes to remove any residue or pesticide. First, cut the top part of the orange off. Sprinkle some salt on the top of the other part of the orange and use a fork to poke the flesh. You may squeeze the juice out after poking it. Pour the juice into a bowl and place the whole orange into the bowl. So you have an orange sitting on its own 'pee' LOL. That's how it looks like. Steam the orange for 15 minutes over slow heat. Then you may drink the 'pee'. It tastes slightly salty and bitter. You may not get a quarter of a cup of the orange juice. The amount is very little. So since it doesn't involve any chemicals, you may give it a try. I guess it works for me. What a way to start off the year. I've been restraining myself from taking spicy food and fried stuff for what feels like forever. However, today, I decided to eat McDonald's breakfast meal with a friend. No fried stuff but still guilty though. Hopefully it doesn't ruin my recovery process.
