I’ve been having persistent discomfort on my upper left abdomen so I went to the doctor today. It’s not really painful – like I said, there’s just a discomfort and it’s been there for more than a week now.
Normally, I’d feel the pang of discomfort every now and then. I just shrugged it off and ignored it. This year, though, Feng Shui wisdom reminds me to take care of my health. So off I went to SOS for another check-up.
Doctor’s orders:
No more coffee – which just happens to be my fuel in the morning. Don’t expect me to think without my daily dose of caffeine.
No more spicy food – at all. My tolerance for spice is extremely high that I can drink Tabasco sauce straight up. Yes – no spice. Not even a tinge. Kill me now.
No more stress. I was advised by Dr. Joyce to avoid stress at all costs. Sige --- please explain how this is even possible with my kind of work and lifestyle. Should I seriously think of becoming a full-fledged tai-tai now? I mean…seriously?
Wow. Heavy.
These are a few of my favorite things. My brain doesn’t start working without my café latte. Spice is the way to go for me, thus, my natural love for Thailand and its food. And stress…I was born to be a miracle worker, so to speak.
This is a major lifestyle change --- but it’s probably the Universe’s way of telling me to hit the brakes and slow down.
Again, there is always a silver lining. In this case, it’s always better to change lifestyle for better health than suffer a debilitating disease.
So, okay, foyn – Madame Universe, I may sound begrudging, but thank you for the nudge.
Hope you won’t take the spice of my life completely, though. I love my wasabi and Tabasco waaaay too much.
