Guide: Sick during vacation

I have this thing with being sick on a vacation or on a trip. But this is the worst, so far. Maybe the lack of sleep and the part where I keep on sleeping late at night is a drag to this. I'm currently in Singapore, my third trip here because I'm meeting my friend Tang from Brazil. Unfortunately, I couldn't spend much time with him today because I spent the whole afternoon sleeping. The coughing and flu are exhausting.

So what are the essentials you need when you're facing times like these during your vacation?

1) Water

Drink a lot of water. It doesn't matter if it's plain water or juices or sports drink, as long as it's fluid. But if you have throat irritation or cough, I suggest you not to drink anything citrus-y. Take a lot of fluid to lower down your body temperature. This is the most important part.

2) Light Food

You might want to forget about buffets and such. If you don't feel well, you might want to eat something light like bread for example. Something to give you energy (to walk at least... ).

3) Meds

If you can get paracetamol, this could help with relieving headaches and also fever. If you can, try not to take meds. But, in my case, I need it really bad. Especially flu meds.

4) Sleep and Rest

Regardless of what you do, where you are, if you're sick, get a lot of rest. This will help a lot with recovering. So if you want to get on your feet the next day, then PLEASE, take a good long rest.

I guess, that's all I can think of now. I'm still sick but I'm doing this (not good). Until then people.

News: Holiday Yeay.

Something good is flowing out of me. Not saying it's bad. It's overflowing with happiness and it's the same feeling as getting something after wishing for it for a long, long time. Well basically, it is like that. After getting a new job and leaving the company, I feel happier. While waiting for the transition to end, I'm lucky to have public holidays filling most of the days before I start the new job. This weekend we're leaving for a short holiday to meet a friend of mine that is from Brazil, Tang. I knew Tang from twitter and we've been friends for almost a year now. Next week we'll be leaving for another short holiday to a different place. But that's a secret. Hahahaha. Will update the info after the holiday.

Today is such a boring day. I'm at work with one colleague and everyone else is still having holidays. I should have taken unpaid leave. I really have nothing much to do at work and I'm not really into the creative writing mode either. I can't play castleville because the network blocks FB. le sigh. Ah well. I'm just gonna spend my afternoon napping I guess. Huhuhu. Kidding.
