red hot chilli peppers

i'm sick. sick in the throat and sick in the head.

sick in the throat because i woke up with a pretty bad throat this morning, courtesy of all the chinese new year junk goodies. such stuff causes the build up of 'heatiness' in the body, or so they say, according to traditional chinese medicinal diagnosis. blah. it's so freaking sore that it's not funny. anywayz, i decided to do a quick google on the big net to find the fastest way to cure it. you know lah, with the advent of the internet and google to goggle sense out of it, every and anybody can post their grandma's secret concoction for any big or small you-name-it ailments. and i chanced upon this rather crazy alternative cure for sore throats. which is to gargle red pepper powder (they call it canyenne powder, supposedly related to some part of the chilli family?) mixed with water up to 4 times daily. yeah it's crazy indeed. taking any spicy or chilli hot stuff when you're having a bad sore throat is a big no-no, much less talk about gargling with pepper powder. but well, if you think that is crazy, then it's even crazier that i actually decided to try it out. yeah i'm sick in the head too alright. did it take you that long to figure that out? seriously, there's really nothing to lose by giving it a try. (hey, about 100 over folks gave a positive testimony to this as opposed to the 2 detracters). if it works, then wah-la, i wouldn't have to put up with the agony of a bad throat anymore. if it doesn't, then hello 2 days of medical leave, here i come! lol. the worse thing that can happen is that i lose my voice. but then again, that ain't too bad. i would have a sexy and husky voice for the next couple of days while in the meantime, i wouldn't have to talk to people i'd rather not talk to anyhow. all in all, a win-win situation i would say. who knows? if it's that effective, i could one day sell the potion as a quick-n-ez relief for sore-throats. so don't say i didn't tell you. you read it here first.

oh ok, maybe not first. but still you did indeed read it here. hahahaha.

will keep you posted of my lab-rat experience. red hot chilli peppers, here i come!

P.S. btw, it doesn't matter whether or not you're a registered blogger, u can now comment away! cos i finally managed to figure out how to turn on tt option. ya ya, slow indeed. but better late than never! ;P
