Recuperating Eid

I'm sick. It was the last day of Ramadan and I decided to treat myself a delicious dish of spicy sambal chicken. Yes, I was savouring the breast meat and dipping into the yummy chilli paste. For those of you who are not familiar with this dish, it is called Ayam Merah(Chicken in Red) Different parts of the chicken in rich lather of spiced chilli paste. Normally served with ketupats(rice cakes) and some other red meat dishes(rendang) & coconut based gravy(lemak lodeh). Since I am not a red meat eater, neither do I fancy the rendang and lemak lodeh,
I am contented with my Ayam Merah.
Oh well, not long after I had a hearty meal of the spiced chicken, I felt a slight itch in my throat. The next day(which is the eid itself), it started with a sore throat, now consists of congestion, cough loss of voice--it's annoying. The whole world seems distant and hazy and it's hard to think.
