i have been sick lately. previously it was the cough that was diffcult to shake off..and more recently a horrible flu..and when i am sick, i take the cab more often. and more often than not, i get some advice from nice concerned chinese cab drivers who will tell me what to take and what not. most interestingly the stuffs i can buy from the sinseh.

i have some friends who had introduced me to TCM (traditional chinese medicine).. actually it all started coz i was the kaypoh one who asked them the secret to their glowing smooth skin..most times dissapointingly it seems to boil down to genetics..but most of them also so happen to have mums who will double boil soups for them..and some TCM drinks..so thanks to them, i had tried homemade chrsyanthemum tea, beancurd skin with ginko nuts etc..and ...i do drop by to the sinseh to get some of the 'cooling' drinks whenever i feel kind of 'heaty' and a fever coming..

these encounters in TCM..got me thinking..and starting this conversation with a friend..since i now got no major projects..therefore boredom sets in easily..therefore i get these silly thoughts..why dont someone, if not me (it wont be me coz i dont have funds nor much knowledge) to open a HALA TCM store..

then the conversation got slightly off-tangent..if the chinese have TCM, why not someone also open a JAMU bar...you know since it is suppose to be beneficial (tho i dun know how, since i am not one who takes jamu) but why not?

if someone can market juice (i know the Juice bars have all but close down),why dont we have one hip and exciting Jamu bar..with waitresses in tube tops and sarong..hahaha like they had in indonesia. errrr... not a bad idea isn't it? my inlaws had also told us about this 91 year old men featured in BH, who apparently could walk up was it 20 storey high flat, and he attributes it partly to his jamu supplements.

so jamu concotions ...laced with honey of coz..anyone?
