I found out the other day that my scale has a 2 Kg zero error! I don’t know whether it has always had that error or it just broke but it reads that I am 53 Kgs when in other scales, I’m 51 Kgs.

The Biggest Loser: Families is over and as expected, the sole remaining black member, Michelle has taken the prize. I have to say, that was very expected, Jillian Michaels winds again.

“God, give me the strength to remember amidst adversity I am blessed”.

This past week, many people in the dorm have caught the flu and for some crazy reason I wanted to get sick. My reason is because Christmas is near followed by exams and therefore I would re\ather be sick now than later. I purposely hung out with a flu-infected friend, but somehow my symptoms seem to be a lot more “painful” than hers.

I barely slept a wink last night due to muscle aches. I had fever and not sore but a terribly itchy throat. I went to the shop and stocked up on Gatorade. I read online that the reason why the muscle aches is mainly because of the lack of potassium and sodium in the body. The fever is due to the body’s defense mechanism of trying to kill heat sensitive invaders. I have been moaning and graoning due to the muscle aches and I had crazy thoughts of how Bufferin plus seem to be so helpful for the pain. Imagine, cancer patients take morphine due to the amount of pain they suffer. I can’t imagine how much more painful cancer is.

I have also taken Amoxycillin for the bacteria moving around my body. I find that taking Amoxycillin is extremely helpful in combatting any throat infection. I was speaking to a doctor friend who adviced me to take panadol and drink lots of water but what he didin’t tell me is that Bufferin Plus, Amoxycillin and Gatorade works a lot better!

Also try to avoid eating to much solids, drink a lot of soup. Your body needs to expend its energy on fighting the little invaders and not digestion!
