We're at this stage in life where we reminisce too much of our near past, worry too much about our near future, are
too clueless about everything that can, will, may happen to us, think we know alot, think we don't know anything,
am confident about the wrong things, take pride in wasting time away, want too much but want to do too little.
Ohwell.

Tonsils
I always thought it's just a throat inflammation, although I found it a little weird because the last fried thing I ate was I-can't-even-remember-when. ._. Today I woke up feeling like Jiahao's head is on my body. My, I never knew he has it that tough. Now I know how it feels like to have a heavy head. What's worst is I lost my voice completely, I can't even qualify for Ah Du or Aaron Kwok. And each time I swallow my saliva I felt like Jigsaw is jabbing a surgical knife down my throat.
So I went to see another doctor, which is next door to the doctor I saw on Tuesday. He's the better doctor so to speak because the medicine he prescribes works wonders, and I would have gone to him first if not because the prices are so so high. He told me I've got a very bad case of tonsillitis, and I wanted to laugh because tonsillitis sounded funny. But no laughter came out and I choked instead. ._. Anyway, I wanted to ask him what's tonsillitis but he can't hear me. I had to tap the table and lean forward and say with all my mighty might, what's that. To which he replied what's what? and I decided to forget it. ._.
So I came home and googled tonsils and found tonsillitis and found out it just means infection in the tonsils, caused by bacteria, virus etc. I couldn't get past the second paragraph because I still think tonsillitis sounds funny.
Anyway, the doctor gave me another two days MC and told me to drink more water, rest more and don't raise my voice. Which is funny because the last time I raised my voice was I-can't-even-remember-when. He gave me more antibiotics, some medicine for the fever, lozenges, and this bottle of thing for me to gurgle.
Which is the whole point of my post because THAT THING IS SO DAMN GROSS. It's called chlorohexidine. C22H30Cl2N10. And it's a chemical most commonly used in mouth wash, like Listerine, or Oral-B. But what he gave me was pure chlorohexidine, without the fresh minty taste ogay. It's DAMN GROSS LAH. The aftertaste in your mouth is like a mixture of acid and alcohol (ester! Right? ._.) and contact lens solution and bittergourd LOL okay I don't know how to describe it. It's just very gross.
And you know what! It cost me $49. D: As in, the total cost lah. Not just the chlorohexidine. On Tuesday, the lousy medicine that didn't work cost me $23. Why medicine so expensive. D:
._.
Meh.
The happy thing is the cute antibiotic I got on Tuesday? I guess I don't have to finish it now that I'm on another course of antibiotics. :)
