It Keeps Getting Stronger & Stronger...

Congratulations!

I've officially fallen sick again.

...

Well technically speaking, it really isn't "again".

...

Has been coughing on and off for like the past 3 weeks or so. It sort of just like turn on & off & I never really fully recovered from it.

And today, I woke up with blocked nose + fever.

Yea... The flu is back at full strength again.

The dreaded flu...

...



So I just went to buy some panadol...

And gosh... I didn't realize there were so much "variety" to choose from.

It's like shopping for the latest tech gadgets.

...

...

It seems the pills just keep getting stronger and stronger...

...

Last time, there's just your normal, standard "Panadol".

Sometime down the road, some smart people decided to come up with many "enhanced versions"

...

First, there's "Panadol Extra".

Then there's "Panadol Ultra".

Then comes "Panadol Rapid",

"Panadol Actifast",

"Panadol Extra Strong"

...

...

...

WOW. The rapid development of panadols can only be compared to technological advances by Graphics Card & CPU.

Maybe next time we'll have "Panadol Force GTX" Or "Panadol Power4890 Overclock"...

Or maybe "Core 2 Panadol", "Extreme Quad Panadol" with 2 and 4 times the effect of a normal panadol...

...

...

Indeed, it seems that the "original panadol" can no longer cure our increasingly chronic headaches, toothaches, backaches...

Everytime you pop a pill, your body natural ability to "resist pain" drops.

As you use more and more of such painkillers, you'll require stronger and stronger version to feel its effects.

Perhaps that's why the company just keep releasing stronger and stronger ones.

And as the consumers, we'll naturally buy the "BEST" ones...

The ones that can relieve us of our terrible pain in the fastest way possible

...



Even though I know it's not good to keep eating these...

I really have no choice.

So I got this "Panadol Flu ULTRA - MAX". (Yes, the "ultra" and "max" are capitalized on the cover)

...

...

I think by our children generation, we'll have stuffs like...

"Panadol Rapid Ultra Actifast"

"Panadol Ultimate"

"Panadol: Overpowering Aggression"

"Panadol: Fatality"

"Panadol: Ultimate Fatality Intensity Destructor" - Kills all your Pain, Kills all your Cells.

...

...

...

Hmm... Ok the flu is getting to my head.

Time to sleep.

Nitez.
