vicious hacking...

i caught a cold from office...and it escalated as i did not take care of my health...

my cold developed into a vicious cough that is taking a toll on me physically. i feel weak, and threw up a few times as a result of the forcefulness of the cough. the fits become more frequent and i gasp for breath when i go into the fits. at times, i wonder *morbidly* if my lungs would collapse.

a relative who saw me last week said i was thin. when i tried to brush it off, she said, no your kind of thin is not healthy. *gee.. touchy there aunty.

Buttercup (yeeks, i realised i had to call her that coz none of the other powerpuff characters suit her) saw me over a weekday and said...aiyoh, you have thinned down. i went, really? you mean last time i was fat? she said: no...last time you were lean, now you really lost weight.

my family doctor saw me a couple of days ago...and commented, you lost weight over the last month? it's showing...you should go for your annual executive checkup...and proceeds to write me a contact.

and tonight...as i hacked away and stood up weakly to get water, my dad looked at me and said...this cough made you a lot thinner.

SIGH.

one person saying this is grapevine...4...??!

i received gentle instructions 1) to not drink tea (kill me) 2) to not eat chicken (kill me further...), 3) to complete both TCM and western med, 4) to get a humidifier, 5) to clean up my room (even if we can't see there's dust in the air), 6) drink warm water

i shall attempt to follow all of the above before this develops into something more scary.
