Chicken soup

Nothing feels better than drinking chicken soup while you're having a cold. Really.

My mum used to get annoy at me, since Chinese thinks you shouldn't have chicken when you're having a cold/flu. So last night she decided to make some Chinese soup/tea/whatnot for me. And then comes the problem: am I having a "heat" cold or a "cold" cold?

Apperantly, it's of the utter most importance to figure out whether it's a heat cold or a cold cold. Because what's good for one would make the other worse. So we looked up the symptoms. Heat cold: red eyes... check. Eye pain... check. Maybe I'm having a heat cold... no no... for the cold cold: cold hands and feet... check. Loss of appettite... check. Oh dear.

At the end my mum and I decided that it's more probable to be a cold cold, cause it was probably slightly more accurate.

And behold: this morning my cold's gone worse...

Sometimes, you just can't win. And I bet you if she makes the stuff for the heat cold today, it'd also make it worse. Mark me words.
