the better alternative to kfc in newcastle... err, u.k. actually!
CHICKEN COTTAGE!!!

hey... it's HALAL!!!



sure, the place is kinda small... and service is really slow...

BUT...


set meal 3 : 2 chicken, 2 spicy wings, fries and a soft drink all for £3.20 (as corrected by jian)!

... the place is clean, the prices are reasonable... and the chicken taste better than kfc!!! :)

where is it?
located near chinatown... just beside the arch.

geez, i'm doing free advertising for chicken cottage... :p

advocacy unseen ASSessment this friday and i've fallen sick... :(
great time to be sick... *sigh*

so... taking steps to avoid getting worse... i bought this the other day...

NON-DROWSY sudafed decongestant tablets that contain pseudoephedrine hydrochloride.


so-called NON-DROWSY! after taking one tablet with one full glass of water as instructed, i started feeling sleepy... soon, my eyelids were so heavy that i had to go to sleep!

question : is there something wrong with me?!?!

anyways, whilst looking online for more info on sudafed, i found this website which is just soo cool! it has a cold and flu alert based on the map in uk... and, this week, newcastle is on low... whereas leeds, manchester, london and bristol are on moderate. few weeks ago, newcastle was on moderate...

hmmz, was it then that i caught the flu virus?

anyways, click HERE to view the map!

or... click HERE for a really neat symptom sorter which eventually recommends what kinda medicine u could take.

did you know that ur nose actually produces approximately one litre of mucus a day!?!
ONE LITRE!!!

and did you know that blowing ur nose too much can actually make the problem worse??!
hmm, then what am i to do? just let it run!?!?! and have a , err.. as spring usually says, LEAKING NOSE?!?! eeeyyeww!!! imagine, people with runny noses walking around with mucus leaking outta their nose... eeeeyeewww!!!

ok, i'm getting gross here...

more interesting facts on the nose...

as many as 200 different viruses can cause symptoms of the common cold;

a 3-day old baby can recognise his own mother's milk as the sense of smell is the strongest at birth;

by the age of 20 years old, our sense of smell is only 82% as good as when we were born. by 60, it would fall to 38% and by 80, it is only 28% as sensitive as at birth;

the sense of smell is more powerful in women than men and it is always strongest around the time of ovulation;

anosmia refers to the inability to smell;

the nose can detect tiny amounts of odourless chemicals known as pheromones, that act as sexual attractants and help us select our partner.
ooh! :)

okays, i'm going to zzz edii... stoopid sudafed. konon non-drowsy! :p

oh and i almost forgot my comic relief...
