as a kid i never liked the winter melon drinks my mum used to make when we complained of sore throats and fevers. it’s some kind of dried winter melons i think; i’m fine with winter melon soups. it’s been such a long time since she made that drink. i didn’t remember that it was a drink i hated and answered “okay” when she said she would make me some of that today. i’m on the verge of sore throats and fevers again, must be the crazy weather over here in singapore.

so i’ve been downing the suspicious drink and man, it really tastes like it’s got alcohol in it. the drink looks totally harmles, almost transparent and smells a little sweet when you sniff at it. it comes with those strips of winter melon which my sister loved. after taking a gulp of the winter melon drink, i suddenly remembered to stay far, far away from those melon strips cos i hated that too.

i still hate the weird taste. but i guess i’ve remembered why i dislike the drink and i’m gonna reject it anytime my mum offers me that in the near future.
