Symptoms for sore throat by viral infection

Symptoms of my personal experience for sore throat due to viral infection:-
~ throat start to sore and feeling heavy head
~ slight feverish and throat is being polk by needles
~ flames is brownish or reddish in colour especially in the morning after you awake
~ headache and tiredness
~ sleepless night


Starting early 2014, I have been frequently affected by this throat infection by viral. For my few experiences, I can only recover after taken the antibiotic given by doctor. The last one in April 2014, my throat can only be cured after taken the higher dose antibiotic.

Thinking that this in not the best solution, when I got the infection again this time in May 2014. I plan to seek alternative treatment. This is my 6th day with the viral infection and for the past 5 days, have been taking only the home remedies which is one teaspoon of vinegar and one teaspoon of manuka honey. Mix them and add with a little of warm water and drink them. It does help to sooth my throat but no sign of recovering.

This has been a difficult six days for me. My sickness not only affect my emotion but also my surrounding includes my work and family. Hence, for today I am going to see doctor for a temporary recovery but will continue to find the cure for this throat viral infection.

Lesson learnt:- No Pain, No Gain. I first get to know this phrase during my standard six. Never truly understand this phrase until today. The gain for this incident is to not 100% relay on others in all your difficulties but only 20% of their supports.

Cheers to all!

Singapore Today

I just came back from Singapore recently and realised that Singapore has not been the fantasy city that I used to dream of. It's so dense with people from China, Philippine and India that I was a bit worried about the safety.

Right after I return to Malaysia, there was news about Singapore Riot recently with 24 suspects charged. You can find the news at http://www.straitstimes.com/little-india-riot. Still it is safer than Malaysia who have rob, rape incident almost everyday in the news.

There is always pros and cons to live in a country. Now, let's face the truth. There is no perfect country in this world. Just choose the one that suits you most and try to trust your choice and make your country a better one for our future generation.

Do something for yourself, your family, your friends, your community, your country and our world to be a better place.

A Jobless Me

Haiz,  I have started this year with a bad news.  Company was undergoing restructuring of department and I was affected.

Although I have gone through this 'Mutual Separation  Scheme', or better know as VSS by others, my emotional is still unbalance and I still can't reach the harmony stage.

I know everyone is trying to help me; my manager,  seniors, ex-colleagues, even my husband. Tarot also advise me to embrace this disaster.

I know time will cure everything but I hope it won't take long. Today, I fall down and tomorrow,  I want to stand up from the place I fall and be proud of my achievement.  In fact, I have planned to do better in life.

Hopefully,  I will have the assistance and guidance from the God and mother nature.

Still trying to cheers,
Mandy Tan.
