the magic of "tong"

on sunday night, I started feeling unwell...and that only worsened throughout the night and on monday morning. the worst part was, it made me really angry because it was the first of my 2 weeks off before starting work again, and I was stuck being sick!

I realize that when I'm sick, I revert back to being 6 years old. I whine more than I should, stay in bed all day, and if I move, I bring my bed with me (pillow + blankie). I drank an insane amount of water, and my sister also bought me gatorade cuz my brother thought I might be dehydrated. but at the end of the day, what I really wanted and craved for was some homemade tong to cure my pains.

I don't really see myself as someone who is terribly traditional, but there's something about tong (all the better if it's made by my mom) that is true comfort food. I don't dig the stuff that's too herbal, but in all seriousness, I would drink any tong that my mom makes me :)
