How I trick my mind into believing I am healthy.

Or rather...how I cured myself.

Thousand apologies for the hiatus. Been crazily busy at work. BUT! Never a day gone by without me day dreaming about my epic journey come June 2011 :)

Also, been down with very bad flu, sore throat and fever yesterday.

'Oh FUCK! There goes my weekend'. I thought.

Went to the clinic and was attended by a young male doctor. And the conversation went on like this.

Me: 'Can you give me something real strong because I NEED to be cured by tomorrow.'

Young male doctor: 'Why do you NEED to be cured by tomorrow'?

Me: 'Well, because I've got lots to do and I need to my brain to function'.

Young male doctor: 'You have been infected by a virus. And if you can be cured by tomorrow then I'd be famous!'.

Me: =_=|||

So the young male doctor said my condition will worsen and it's a process that I have to go through in order to get well.

But having my weekend doomed by a virus is just not gonna be it. I knew if I took the doctor's prescription my sore throat, flu, fever will worsen the next day. So, I self cured. To cure my sore throat, I gargled tons of salt water. Then I drank nothing but 100Plus and took this miracle Chinese tablet called 'YingChiao'. (always works for me!)

And I tricked my mind into believing I am healthy by refusing to nurse my sickness in bed. I did what I would normally do on a Saturday. Like breakfast at the 'mamak' stall, visited the bookstore, watched a DVD etc! And it worked!

The fever and sore throat is gone now! Left with the flu but that's manageable. I am sure by tomorrow I would be as healthy as a energizer bunny! :)
