Having The Blues

She lay on the couch, feeling sick. She was sick, in fact. She did not like being sick. Her head was spinning, and she felt uncomfortable! She told herself, "Think of happy thoughts...happy thoughts...happy thoughts...".

She began to think about all the food she missed at home - home which was thousands of miles away. She thought about chicken curry, dumplings, fishball noodles, fried noodles, laksa... She could almost taste them! Then her thoughts slipped back to her misery! She shook her head, "Come on, come on! Happy thoughts only!"

Lying on the couch, she awaited for her blues to depart.
