Sore Throat Lozenge Review - Which Is Better?
I'm having a bad sore throat and I'm coughing like crazy. While at it, let me give you some reviews on two types of lozenges I have been taking - Fisherman's Friend and Eumenthol Jujubes by Hudson's. Which one is better?
I take the "classic" flavour. You can find lemon flavour too. Not sure of other flavours. It's quite strong to the tongue and throat. Gives you relieve instantly especially when you're having very bad sore throat and cough. The aftertaste of menthol can linger for at least 15 minutes after you finished sucking it. Very soothing and refreshing.
When others fail, you can rely on Fisherman's Friend! I take the sugar free mint. For obvious reasons! Very strong mint taste. Compared to Hudson's Jujubes, this is like 3-4 notch higher. I only take this if my sore throat and cough get worse. Reason being, taking these lozenges can give me kind of "wind" to my stomach. If you don't wish for any stomach discomfort, avoid this. But gives you instant relieve to bad sore throat and cough. Just a couple of lozenges are enough to last for a few hours.

Shards of a Broken Glass
You will fall apart and feel the pain.
And you will know that such pain can never be healed.
Lord of the Rings Medley
My daughter loves The Lord of the Rings. And now that the final Hobbit is coming in December, she is too well excited. She found this and shared it with me. It's violin medley by Lindsey Stirling.
Not only the music is beautiful, the scenery is breathtaking.
Amazing I must say!

Recipe: Potato & Beef Patties (Bergedil)
I'm sharing the Potato and Beef patties recipe. Or as we Malays call it "bergedil". My Mom used to make this but she substituted the beef with mackerel (boiled and deboned). Very delicious.
Potato and Beef Patties
10 medium potatoes - peeled, quartered and fried until golden yellow
250grams of minced meat
1 clove of garlic - peeled and finely chopped
1 yellow onion - peeled and finely chopped
Some coriander leaves - chopped
Some spring onions - chopped
2 eggs - lightly beaten with a pinch of salt
Salt and pepper to taste
Pound/mash the potatoes. Put into mixing bowl.
Saute garlic and onion. Then, add in the minced meat. Cook for about 15 minutes. Add some salt and pepper.
Add the cooked minced meat in the mixing bowl. Next, add the chopped coriander leaves and spring onions. Season with salt and pepper. Mix the ingredients well and then make into small balls.
Heat vegetable oil. When ready to fry, slightly press the balls into patties shape and dip into egg mixture. Fry the patties until light brown.

What It Feels Like When You Know About The Other Women
What a long title!
Men, do you want to know how a woman feels inside when she got to know about your affair?
I picked this up from the movie - The Women. It's the scene when Meg Ryan went to see her mother to tell her about her husband. She then brushed her mother saying she can't possibly know how she feels, and the mother said, "Let me try...".
This honestly tells how it felt when I got to know:
"It feels like someone kicked you in the stomach, feels like your heart stopped beating, feels like that dream, you know the one when you are falling and you want so desperately to wake up before you hit the ground but it's all out of your control. You can't trust anything anymore, no one is who they say they are. Your life is changed forever, and the only thing to come out of the whole ugly experience is no one will be able to break your heart like that again."
