the one with the sick cat and an amateur nurse

alarm went off at 11am this morning. it's time to haul this lazy ass off bed. washed up and checked on sis before heading for groceries shopping with a growling tummy. came back SGD30 poorer but 3 bags-full, tummy's still growling. unloaded the stuff on the kitchen top and nursed that noisy tummy with strawberry yogurt and banana. sis seemed to look better and temperature dropped from 38.1 deg last night to 36.4 deg this morning.

with a happy tummy, i began with my day's task - to cook bee hoon soup for sis. after another successful 'first-time' on a new recipe in the kitchen, the day fast forwarded with me slacking with my lappy (as usual), eating, making more food, eating again, cleaning up, check on sis (looks fine), indulging in a tub of haagen dazs macadamia (tempting her to get well soon), and other insignificant stuff.

msn tab blinked for attention. sis says: temperature hiked to 37.5 deg. feeling feverish again. aiyo~ besides resting, drinking lotsa water, more visits to the loo, taking 6grams of effervescent vit c twice a day, keeping room ventilated, and letting the body perspire, i couldn't think of anything else. then i remembered i had some sorta cooling pad, supposedly helps to reduce fever.

found it but it was unintelligible. had to google for the instructions since sis argued that it needs to be refrigerated. 'gongs' sis. trying to confuse me. luckily i know how to google: http://headaches.about.com/cs/management/gr/be-koool.htm
