As sick as a pig.
As sick as a dog.
As sick as an angie low.

Call it whatever you may, I am as sick as can be.

Eyes are teary and can barely stay open.
Nose is blocked.
Hence, Mouth has to open and close constantly to breathe - very unattractive.
Nose has to do the periodical *sniff* *sniff* or *SNIFF!* or sometimes, *hnnnnergh* into the 2nd box of tissues.
So many trees has died because of me.

Was searching for a drug at home to knock me off to sleep last nite but none to be found.
Couldn't sleep.

There's this game I play when I have a blocked nostril.
Note that i said, NOSTRIL not both, but one nostril at a time.

Game:
Only to be played when one cannot sleep. And of course has a blocked nostril.

Turn to the left - left nostril gets blocked.
Turn to the right - right nostril gets blocked.
Easy right?

So the whole night was spent on tossing to the left and right to move the 'liquid' or pressure around.
With each turn, I get to breathe a little better for awhile.

Ok, that's pathetic.

But I get a temporary relief from moving the 'stuff' from left to right and vice versa with a 40sec window opportunity for breathing with BOTH nostrils unblocked!
Why 40 sec? Because I counted!
I spent the whole night analyzing this because i just couldn't sleep.

Ok, I am getting sick in the mind as well.

Updated an hour later after doing some mindless research:

Blocked nose on one side
May 5, 2005 4:44 AM

I've always had a constant blocked nose right through the winter and summer. I can usually breathe okay through one nostril, but the other is blocked.

The side that is blocked can shift, for example if I lie down on one side, that will become the blocked side. They will never both be unblocked.

Does this ring a bell with anyone? Does it point to any problem in particular?

Maybank is opening just below our office!
How cool is that! I can do all my banking just few floors below.
Not that I use it anyway - m2u is the way to go, hehe.
But good for emergencies i reckon.
