Morning SK and Everyone, Happy Friday.
ReplyDeleteGet well soon, SK.
DeleteYou must be popping in too many peanut cookies.
Drink more fluid and sleep more can make you recover fast.
Today, Ah Hua not in office. I hope I am not too busy to spam.
DeleteI am like that also, very proactive when sick. I will go for doctor almost immediately. Then I can recover fast. I won't drag till the next day one.
I am scared of coughing and sneezing one.
But then, I am very seldom going for Chinese Medicine. I will mostly go for Western doctor, because Chinese medicine takes too long to cure.
DeleteGood morning Hot Mama :)
DeleteWhat happen to Ah Hua? She on sick leave ka? or busy at home making cookies ?
Yes, it is very good to get treatment as soon as possible instead of dragging.
Good Morning All Bloggers! I am working today as I am saving my annual leaves hard always to go for long vacations this year.
DeleteAh Hua is starting off her journey down south to the Legoland, so nice lah.. these few weeks are kind of weird.. work 3 days then rest 1 day, work 1 day then rest for 3 days, work for 3 days then rest for 3 days, work for another 5 days then it's CNY already..
DeleteHello everyone!
DeleteAiyoh.... Ah Boy not feeling well ke?
I'm feeling a buit under the weather also these past few days. Lazy to visit doctor yet, so just popped a few panadols. xD
Take care ya, Ah Boy!
Whenever I had headache or fever, I also popped penadol into my mouth one.
DeleteGood evening, everybody! I'm reporting from klang valley :D
DeleteAh Boy is not feeling well, and so am I. I blame it to the weather, one day hot and sunny, the next day it will be raining and cold. Just like today, it rained early in the morning, like 4-5AM, and it continued to rain until 10AM and then the sun decided to shine brightly. But in the afternoon, it rained hard again.
My poor body cannot adapt to it that fast, I'm not an amfibia.
don't get yourself too rely on panadol, the more you take the less effective it will to you.. take sparingly and usually i try not to take and let the headache heal by itself..
Deleteyvonne, looks like the weather pattern is alternate sunny alternate gloomy huh?? so today's weather should be nice for you~~
I always self-prescribe...and I do prefer Chinese natural herbal medications to the western chemical ones.
ReplyDeleteHmm self-prescribe don't work for me, guess my body is too weak, tsk tsk tsk.
DeleteSo I got very rely on western medicines and antibiotic, haih...
yeah, the traditional Chinese herbal medications is better but then if you need more effective and speedy recovery, guess the Western chemicals are better.. it's all about choices and preferences.. :)
DeleteI rely on Western as dunno anything about traditional medicine.
DeleteI'll try both western and Chinese medicine, guess I'm more kiasi, haha! I go to see my company doctor first, then pop some Chinese medicated hall medicine after 3 hours consuming the pills.
DeleteHope I'm not overdose :s
Antibiotics are bad, many side effects. Good western doctors will not prescribe unless it is absolutely necessary...and it depends on your ailment.
DeleteSome will prescribe for anything...and administer steroids, Will get better very fast...but the worse is yet to come! Watch out!
Chinese medication not until at least 6-8 hours after taking western. There have not been researched on the two together so best to stick to one...at any one time. You may be doing more harm than good, Yvonne.
Deletevery true with what STP has mentioned above.. chinese medicine is for long term health treatment, may not be that effective in short term.. and yes, you should take caution if you are taking both chinese and western medication at the same time.. one may reduce the effectiveness of the other..
Deletelina, you dunno anything about traditional medicine?? nah, you know kote mamak so well than viagra, hahaha!!
That one is more to "performance enhancer" not as medicine! wakaka
DeleteSick, ya? Don't romp around naked all the time... Sure you'll catch a chill and fall sick! Muahahahahaha!!!! Take care, get well soon.
ReplyDeleteMuahahaha! STP, you sound like SK doing porn show in his room eh!
DeleteI'm sure that actually comes as no surprise??? LOL!!!
DeleteLOL, SK, I din't know you have that kinda habit...... =_="
DeleteOMG, this hamsap STP is stalking and peeping at me all the time!! i am so scared, feel like my life is threatened and my privacy is on risk!! kekekeke~~ :p
DeleteThe walls have ears, the ceiling have eyes! Be careful...don;t be caught like CSL!!! LOL!!!!
Deleteso we all know this STP is the most hamsap!! i have given your the passport cover, the CD, and the airticket (which is lost), what else you want from me?? i've got all fats but no muscle, all wrinkles but no fair complexion for you to see lah~~ :D
DeleteSee! See! Show naked photo...to prove that what you say is true. Hehehehehe!!!!!
DeleteRecently I bake a lot, I also scared to get sore throat. So, after tasting my own cookies, I will quickly make myself a cup of honey to drink before I sleep. So far so good. Touch wood.
ReplyDeleteWe must build up our body resistance to decease anytime also by doing exercise and taking supplement.
Aiyoyo! Spelling mistake again, I better correct my own error, desease and not decease. My apology!
Deleteeating a lot of cookies can be very it hei(heaty) .
DeleteFunny enough. when i bake muffins and cupcakes alike, i dont really eat them. Just taste aje.
i think Mak Yannie bakes more and she is very strict on herself, she must taste all her cookies seriously to have the best she could bake.. somemore Mak Yannie always health freak (she claimed herself).. but very true with that, after lots of cookies, must have lots of fluid to cool down else you get heaty very easily..
DeleteMeow, after baking where does your cookies go? Kitty cat eats them all or Kaldip?
DeleteMine usually feed the hungry ghosts in the office, lol! But that is after I ate 50% of them. No wonder my weight stuck like forever, no reduce.
hahaha, so pity yvonne lah, whatever she bakes the MM and kids seldom show interest at all.. never mind, you still have your loyal hungry ghosts supporters in office!!
DeleteAH Hua has friendly hungry ghosts around her. ;p
DeleteSK, not all company giving you sick leaves for free le! My KNS company will deduct our bonus and allowance if we take one day sick leave in a month. Full attendance, they give us RM50 per month.
ReplyDeleteSo, cheapo aunty like Yannie, sick also work la! If too sick then take annual leave lo! Kesien or not?
That's why Yannie very very scare to get sick one.
One sign of cough and "Ha Chiu", I will zoom to clinic.
By the way, I am really very proactive in this area. If I sense my children unwell too, I will rush them to clinic almost immediately, or I will feed them medicine and be their doctor myself.
Actually, Yannie ia home doctor to my kids, I can treat my kids quite well one. Because I am following up their sickness since babies. I stock up their medicine whenever I go to their paediatrician. Then, I label all medicine with date of expiry and keep in the fridge.
DeleteSo, when we go travelling, I will take all those medicines with me.
LOL...like that I was the luckiest . Got so many annual leave and Sick days from the company.
DeleteMy former company gave us 30 days sick leaves plus 2 days compassionate leave(if family hospitalised) and 3 days compassionate leave if family members pass away. if not enough with that, there is paternity leave some more leh :p
Too bad no incentive if tarak utilise the Sick leave. Because of that , some who doesnt have enough annual leave o use will fully utilise the sick leave too and what's more it's paid.
Yan is right. So last time when I was still in that company, sick also drag my butt to work, just for that RM 50 and full bonus...
DeleteSo many of us go spread virus in the department, haha! No choice la, RM 50 is a big amount of money leh!! :p
aiyoh, what mean company is that!! where got such things, but i think this is actually not good.. with the deduction, they are forcing and encouraging people to come to work even if they are sick, and when people are sick, they are less efficient and the chances of doing things wrong are higher too.. not a good strategy at all.. but of course, people may also abuse the medical leave and stay at home to rest.. well, always a predicament there lah, difficult to have a perfect solution to this, people always find loopholes..
DeleteAnyway, Chinese New Year is just around the corner, please don't get sick. Take good care of your body. Drink plenty of water, do exercise a lot, eat well balance diet, sleep well, and you will be all well. Am I talking too much here alone?
ReplyDeleteOk, I will be back soon.
Ah Hua on long leave hor? Nevermind la, spam here to kill your boredom! :p
DeleteYaya, please don't get sick now, CNY is approaching.
i thought when Ah Hua is on leave, Mak Yannie will be busy because she gotta take care of Ah Hua's things as well.. yeah, CNY is coming soon, better take good care of yourself.. but come to think about it, rather sick before CNY huh, so that during CNY i already have the immunity, haha!! :D
DeleteEr, the big cheese announced that our task is end-to-end begin this year. Which mean I'm not supporting yannie anymore. We're on our own. Cheap labour, cheh!
DeleteSo, any support from the users these few days on my side, yannie please ignore them. I'll attend to them when I return to office on Tue :p
wow, so it's case by case end-to-end service from one single specialist lah?? good and bad lah for the users..
Deletegood to know that you're doing well now...well, yes, you have to treat your sickness before it gets worst and do not wait for any worst things to happen
ReplyDeleteyeah, better do the first thing first right?? get yourself treatment as early as possible..
Deleteas for the prescription... uhmmm i always ask my mom about that because I really don't have any idea which medicine should I take or not. My mom is always good about that and she's well prepared too... she store some meds in case that we need it for emergency
ReplyDeleteyeah, i think mothers are always good in that.. because they are so experience with their kids, so the first person you tell anyone about your sickness must be your mum~~ :)
DeleteI do the same thing way back in high school.. for some geeky nerdy guy like me LOL, i never let my sickness stop me from being on school.unless i have chicken fox or sore eyes, my teachers will definitely wont allow me so
ReplyDeleteyeah, because a day off will leave myself with lots of things to catch up when i get back to school.. so i try not to take off from school last time..
Deletegosh, i don't even know where exactly paracetamol should be used.. what a shame >_<
ReplyDeleteparacetamol is for relieve of pain, flu and fever.. it's quite some multipurpose pills.. haha!!
Deletesometimes, it is mind over matter thing... if you stress yourself too much thinking about your condition, it makes it even worst... relax and take a good nap will do hehe
ReplyDeleteyou are right.. sometimes the doctor will tell you that you might be too stressed up that was why you have fallen sick~~
DeleteAhh you're so lucky! Recovering in such a short time! I have been coughing for more than 3 weeks now, it's awful! I have taken so much lozenges, paracetamol, cough syrup, antibiotics, it's not even funny. Luckily now I have reduced my cough to probably less than 20 times a day, which is a huge improvement compared to 20 times a minute!
ReplyDeleteI fear coughing too. It starts with maybe 5x per day to 5x per minute. But frankly, I'm quite slow in taking action. I wait for a day or two until I finally go to the clinic. Then when I don't recover for the next 2 days I panic and I go to see more docs, to the Chinese medicated hall and self-medicated myself :p
DeleteLast time when I coughed, it would be the 100 days cough. It means cough for 3 months, the doc sure asks me to go for X-ray.
hmmm, cough is actually something that takes long to heal, never will recover in couple of days.. i actually find chinese medication more effective for coughs.. have you tried that??
DeleteYou not well ah SK. Like Yannie said, drink more water la. Must be eating too much Mandarin oranges is it?
ReplyDeleteEh what is that brown color med ah? Looks like the "yoong Tham" from Chinese Medicine hall. Said good for duno fever or what. Last time I took Yoong Tham before but doesn't really works for me.
I would go for western medicine also coz it's faster heal though not really good for our liver and kidney la if takes too long or too much.
Some doctors are very good. They calculate the dosage of medicine based on body weight. some will just follow the dosage on the label.
For me i also agree if ill then have to go see doctor fast fast. Dont wait till "tenat" then baru see doctor.
I have a friend whose father have diabetes. One day his father was feverish. Just took paracetomal. Asked to see doctor but he doesnt want. Then become more serious, masuk hospital, coma and tong tong chiang already. It's just so sad.
no lah, i have not eaten any mandarin oranges yet, haha!! i guess it's the weather lah, i always felt my throat very very dry during sleep and especially when i wake up every morning.. guess that's the culprit..
Deletethe brown color pills are for coughs and phlegm.. quite good, it's not chemicals but traditional herbal base.. it's from the brand Hurix.. they also have pills for flu, which i also find quite good.. at least it won't make you dizzy after taking the pills..
yalah, elderly must not ignore all illness whether light or acute lah.. don't drag till it becomes serious and then sure it gets more troublesome..
SK isn't teaking Mandarin oranges, he is kissing someone whe ate mandarin oranges. The result will be the same.
DeleteIf jin jin coughed, I coughed too. You know what I mean.
wow, this Mak Yannie so insatiable lah, when jin jin cough she still never let him escape from her leopard claws!! hahaha~~ :p
DeleteMuahahahah! Jin Jin has no off day one even when he is sick. Kesien right?
DeleteBy the way, thanks for snapping the picture of Jin Jin seafood to show me yesterday.
I would like ou snapping Jin Jin if you spot him in KL. Just in case, he has perempuan simpanan in KL. You know? He went to KL for training and courses quite often.
Don't know am doing it right or wrong but whenever J not well, I would bring him to see doctor soon as possible if the medicine that I give him is not working; instead of waiting a few days for whatever it is to receed/go away.
ReplyDeleteMy other half would say wait and see. But I kesian see the boy suffer unnecessarily.
very true.. when it comes to sickness better be more kiasi lah, must get treatment as early as possible.. why wait if you can get treatment and get it cured without less suffering right??
DeleteYour school so trict ah? But I guess Chinese school is like that. Just saw someone blog say chinese school have point system . each student 40 points and if deduct till zero, then will be expelled.
ReplyDeleteMy school was different. Instead of points they give certificate. if you have 100% attendance in the year, you will receive a certificate saying so. Then there is also cert for full attendance for 3 yrs and cert fr full attendance for 5 years. Surprisingly quite a number of students received the full attendance cert for 5 years leh.
Me...I only have full attendance for 1 or 2 yrs only . Ponteng paling banyak is during form 5 and form 6 years. Ponteng supposed to stay home study for the exam geh bsince the teachers finish the classes jor but stay home end up do other things. Form 3 still dare not ponteng leh.
yalor, i remember the points deduction is by number of class somemore.. for example, sick leave is to deduct 0.001 points per class.. one day we have 9 class so it will be 0.009 points.. never look down at these little deductions, once a classmates initially #1 but because of the deductions dropped to #2 already..
Deletewah, so good one got certificates for full attendance ah?? haha.. i think the school did that because there are too many incidences of "ponteng"?? :D
Lucky my school not like that.
DeleteI don't really attend class when I was in Form 1 & 2. Spent way too mucyh time doing other stuff - tournaments, contests and stuff.
But then, that one cannot consider ponteng also la kan...
wow, so many tournaments, contests and stuffs?? this Mak Rempinator sure has got lots of medals at home lah.. come show us all your assets~~
DeleteDidn't keep.
DeleteMy Mom doesn't appreciate them. huhuhu
haiz...cham...you reminded me...I must go pharmacy get some supplies for the trip. must not fall sick. Like you said "treat your illness while it's still not acute"
ReplyDeleteeih you better go and pack some medicines with you since you going to KK mah..
DeleteSurely it's due to the unpredictable weather that you got sick. Herbal medicine is quite dependable too. Rest enough and take care.
ReplyDeleteyeah, the brown pills in the photo is actually herbal medicine (i believe so since it says it's traditional medicine) for cough and phlegm, i find it quite effective..
DeleteCNY is coming soon so..do take care otherwise will miss all the Good Food! Drink more water, eat more fresh fruits, sleep early! (I am reminding myself too!)
ReplyDeleteyeah, better take good care for CNY.. or rather say, if sick better sick now, don't wait till CNY, haha!! :D
DeleteGood morning SK and everybody on SK0617!
ReplyDeleteIt's a wet Friday morning here, how about your side??
I agree with you SK, must treat it before it's too late. It's not kiasi, just that we really don't want the sick to get more serious...
DeleteRemember to drink plenty of water! Also get some 'leong cha'. And stock up on fruits!
DeleteWhen I was still working, I would still go to work no matter how sick I am, cause of the bonus and attendance incentive (refer above comments). We can apply AL but it's not worth lo, our AL very very expensive one so cannot simply waste...
Deleteyeah, must take good care of ourselves especially with the weather now.. actually i'm ok to get sick now rather than during CNY, haha!! eih, your ex-company no good lah, so "kiam siap" one..
DeleteGoing to work when one is sick in counter-productive.
DeleteYou cannot do much.
Plus if you are sick, you can also infect others. Imagine coughing and sneezing and spread the germs to your colleagues. Eeee...
very true with what lina has mentioned.. some company even warn staff to not come to work if they are sick, as they may affect and infect other colleagues..
DeleteUsually gwailo company la...
DeleteThey promote work smart.... not work until die hard at the office. ;p
Ah Boy SK - you need Anay to boil tonic soups for you to replenish and moisturize your internal organs???
ReplyDeleteHow about spicy Soup Kambing??!!??!!!
ooh, Anay you drink spicy soup kambing when you are sick?? what a great remedy!! did you add cheese into the soup?? it will make it more effective~~
DeleteI rarely went to see doctors as I learnt to treat myself in US. It seems that everyone could buy prescriptions over the pharmacy counters and patients seldom see doctors over minor sickness as the medical fees costs a bomb in US.
ReplyDeletenah, you are now in Malaysia and i think it's not an issue to go see doctors, somemore you are going to claim that from your company.. :p
DeleteYalah.
DeleteANd if your company like mine, cannot claim the medicine cost if buy over the counter.
Might as well fully utilise the medical benefits. ;)
yalah, no one else is ever more wise than the financial controller right?? hehe~~ :p
DeleteAccounts clerk have to know all this stuff la, SK.... Entitlement sikit saja. Bosses and Managers no need to keep tab one. wakaka
DeletePanadol is my all-time companion, my trusty friend. It's also good enough for a cold, I was told.
ReplyDeletehmmm, but i rarely want to take panadol.. i rather let it heal naturally, unless it's really too bad.. furthermore, the more you take, the less effective the panadol will be on you, so be wise, take only when in bad need.. :)
DeleteBut for sore throat, drinking (not gargling) brine (salt water) works best for me.
ReplyDeleteI agree salt water works wonder to reduce body heat. I tried salt water in the morning :)
Deleteoh?? drinking salt water straight away?? i thot doctors always just ask us to gargle.. so how much salt and how much water should the combination be??
DeleteLong distance unners and endurance athletes take salt or salt tablets to replenish whatever they are going to lose/lost while training/running.
DeleteNever tried drinking salt water for mouth ulcer though. I think it will be too salty if its going to be effective anyway? o.O
In Thailand, the folks often have this saying in Thai that "Water is Medicine" because drinking enough water daily could flush out toxins and prevent sickness.
ReplyDeleteHowever how many of us would drink 8 glasses of plain water daily?? Anay often forgot to drink plain water!! Bad Anay!
very true, and i agree with that.. water is the best medicine.. i also want to say rest and good sleep are also best medicines too.. anay must sleep early and drink more plain water wokay??
DeleteAww... Thambee keeps reminding annay to drink more water and takes care of his health. Such a sweet brotherhood.
DeleteWe must at least have 8 glasses of water daily. We can opt for juice, but water is the best because it's 0 calories, easy to obtain and no need to process, except boiling :)
But it's not safe to drink water when you're in India or so my friends said.
if Ah Hua sicks (touch wood) thambee will also keep reminding Ah Hua to drink more water and take more rest lah.. hehehe!! thambee very fair and no bias one.. :)
Deletebut then have you heard that you cannot drink too much plain water also?? too much, i mean, is really a lot which normally quite impossible for us to consume that amount.. this is "water intoxication" because when you drink too much water, the electrolyte or nutrients balance is affected.. because of the differences in concentration, particles from your cells will diffuse into the excess water (because of osmosis), and cause problem.. errr, don't really know how to explain this, but still drinking water should be moderate like you are having anything else..
Agree SK.
DeleteModerate in everything. Too little or too much will not be good, even with drinking water. :)
Now as I am typing I better go get myself a glass of plain water to drink before I make my coffee! I hate to be sick. I better be healthy always as I get older!
ReplyDeleteI heard people saying, if you take one glass of coffee, you must take another 8 glasses of water. Meaning you need to take the normal 8 glasses of plain water and top up with 8 glasses of water to wash away the caffein in your body. I am sure true or not. I drink coffee too, and I drink plenty of water.
Deleteooh, you better drink more water if you are having coffee.. coffee is very dehydrating, better replenish yourself with some plain water after that.. of course moderate amount and not too much, else you get "water intoxicated"..
Delete10 over sick leave?
ReplyDeleteMy entitlement is 24 days! hehehe
But of course, crazy to fully utilise unless I have acute sickness. @.@
Lina is VVIP in the company sure got more entitlement lah~~
DeleteLong service coffee/tea lady. wakaka
DeleteMedical leave entitlement increases with years of service not level of your position mah... ;p
Wah!
ReplyDeleteSK lets STP peeped ah?
Or STP hamsap and peep?
SK naked or not also STP knows one? kekeke
yalor, that hamsap STP is stalking all over us, including you also Lina.. ooopsss!! :p
Deletehubby also fever for 2 days already...but now recovered~
ReplyDeleteyeah, i think the weather is the culprit huh?? quite a lot of people are under the weather recently..
DeleteWanakum! Only the body is sick never allow the mind to be sick.
ReplyDeletehahahaha, that is for sure!!
DeleteBananaz will do the same self medication with TCM to keep the body heat down or take cough drops whatever. Even when kena food poisoning will buy carbon tablets plus those orange flavour stuff in sachets etc from pharmacy. When all else fail will have this thought, Bananaz owes the Dr money must go to repay then can recover faster.
ReplyDeleteWhen getting old, we tend to do a lot self remedy at home to cure ourselves, then seeing doctor.
DeleteMe too, I will drink honey lime, gargle with salt water, take penadol, and etc. If all to no avail, then go seeing doctor and pay $$$.
Grrr I am still nursing my cough...though its the dry cough that comes every couple of hours but it still makes my voice awfully husky.
ReplyDeletewell medicine prescription is for my mom to do,
ReplyDeletewhen i fell something my mom is the first person
i ask for advice haha
after all as the saying goes
mom knows best haha
luckily I don't get sick much,
ReplyDeletei get flu perhaps once a year haha
but i was prone to colds and cough
but when i do got this,
DeleteAs much as posible i dont want to
take medicines
I prefer to go on a water therapy
and so far it works most of the time
Well it was ok to self medicate
ReplyDeleteas long as your illness wasn't that serious
i mean if this includes unusual scenarios on your
body better get checked first
and if taking various medicines didn't
ReplyDeletework even it was just a typical coughing
you will have to see the doctor still,
because this little thing might be a sign of
a huge illness
by the way i think
ReplyDelete"treat your illness while it's still not acute"
is a great thing to keep in mind
i mean logically it makes sense
As for me,
ReplyDeleteI got all the time of the world
for my medical thingy hahaha
the best advice i can give
ReplyDeleteis for us to live a healthy life
make a healthy living a
daily basis
anyway I'm glad you're feeling okay now
ReplyDeletetake a lot of rest still
and eat fruits more often haha
have a great day sk
ReplyDeletegod bless you and take the best of care
get well soon my friend
and lastly enjoy blogging!
我都係食緊葯,不過係公司畀錢。倘若日後事業,睇怕都要效防sk兄你自己做醫生。
ReplyDeletetake care!!! =]
ReplyDeleteget well soon SK
ReplyDeletetake care too~ =D
ReplyDeleteDIY?久病成医,其实我们都知道一般的病需要吃什么药,也知道自己的身体是什么原因生病。只要不是太辛苦,我还是会去上班,不是因为太勤劳,只是很讨厌过后回去上班时,一大堆工作。
ReplyDelete
