#182: Guide to Headaches and Spices




















There's nothing like Jack Johnson to ease a pounding headache. I'm still reeling from my chili noodle lunch which is the spiciest thing I've ever tasted in my life. I practically stumble out of the Vietnamese place. My milk tea eases the burning sensation momentarily to allow it to come back with greater fury 2 seconds after. Great.

I sit on my favorite bench at the Uni bus stop and ponder whether to let a couple of my buses go by so I can finish drowning the spice while reading this Umberto Eco book someone gave me as a going away present; or to jump on the first one and cry at home. I decided to save the Umberto Eco book for a less stressful day, jump on the 2nd bus and get grapes and foccacia bread on the way home. My flatmate will be happy. As for the crying, I'll reserve that for when I finally start reviewing for my finals.

The Eraserheads take the stage from Jack Johnson and encourage me to smile. Lift your head, baby don't be scared... of the things that could go wrong along the way... you'll get by with a smile...
