To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go
Andy Williams – The Impossible Dream

Before I go ahead yapping about my wildest dream, please check out the disclaimer below.
1. Brace yourself! The post may contain some yucky ingredients. Gagging and a slight dizziness may occur as the side effects of this post. You’ll live, relax! 😛 Rest assured there’s no graphic content (of snot, Ha!) in it. You can thank me later. You’re welcome 😀
2. Some of you, my dearest readers may swear to never open my blog, ever again after this post. Please don’t do that, pretty please? 😀 *wink wink*
Trust me! I was planning to write something eloquently beautiful. Something profound I’d like to call as my masterpiece but, I’m in foul mood, totally annoyed with my current condition. So, here’s my wildest dream. Are you ready?
I’ve been sick since weekend. It started out with a sore throat and escalated to endless coughing and fever. Fever is something I fear most. So on Monday, I went to the clinic nearby straight away. The clinic was full with other sickies. Ouch. 😦
After so many waiting sessions ( for my queue to see the doctor, a full blood count test, waiting for result, another session with the doctor and queuing at the pharmacy and payment desk) 😦 the result was common flu. Thank God, it was nothing serious. And it was a viral infection, hence, antibiotic wasn’t needed.
Sounds good? NOT.
It’s Friday now, the fifth day after I went to see the doctor and I’m still covered in snotty. And let’s not talk about the phlegm,shall we? My throat is not itchy but I keep on coughing as my body seems trying to get rid of it. I hate the phlegm. I’m turning off almost all of electronic stuffs (AC and fan) in my room, as an effort (a desperate one, I must say!) to minimize if not, lessen whatever factor that may trigger the flu. Nothing. Nada. 😦 Instead, I’m now sweating like nobody business.
Wait, what was the topic again? Ah yeah, my wildest dream. Right now, I’m dreaming to create, no wait, let me find a better word.*thinkinghard* Ehm, I’m dreaming to invent a tool to suck snot and phlegm. I’ll call it snotty-sucker. Isn’t it a kewl (I just have to write it this way because it’s super cool, y’know?) and jaw-dropping invention, huh? 😀
Quite self-explanatory, snotty-sucker is basically a tool to suck your snot and phlegm. I do aware that snotty-sucker doesn’t sound good but, I can think of another name for the branding later. The tagline will either be;
– You got snots? Get our snotty-sucker and you’ll be snotty-free!
– Snotty-sucker will vanish your stubborn snot!
Ah I can also think of it later. I can get my marketing team to think and come out with something. I bet it’s going to be world no.1 selling product. *jumping with excitement*
Imagine how much money I can make from selling the product? Flu is a common disease. It can contract anyone, children, teenager or adult in any part of the world. I’m so going to be rich!! 😀 😀
Until I found the followings in Google.
Dang it!! I was late!!! 😦 There’s already something called nose sucker in the market. And even a product that goes with the name “snotsucker”. There goes my dream!! Oh Nooo*cry*
Kirain apaan mba.
Ngakak guling2 dah 🙂
maunya sih ya bikin yang uwow pit..lah filek bikin mood jelek *alesyan*
it is usually for baby, isn’t it? since they can’t make the snot out by themselves..
Nadia oh nadia,,,how i want to hug you right now! So there’s still for me to produce snotty sucker for adults? Horaaayyyy
I was gonna say Nad. Lol
Hahhaha… Good luck, Ms. Banana! 😀 but isn’t it more comfortable to make the snot out by somekind of nebulator than by sucking it? Is it hurtful?
Btw guys today I actually found the device for grown ups! My husband actually owns one
Haaa?? Really? well, i haven’t seen those kinda device 🙂
@Mikan : Darl, I want, no, DEMAND a picture! Puhlease 🙂
So sad that I have to say goodbye to my wildest dream, but I know I want to get this tool. Stat!
*rummaging through my cupboards* will send you one once found. LOL
Yay!! 🙂
I’m not allowed to take “medications” at the moment. I know nebulator will work like charm (a bit tedious though..ugh!) but, the snotty-sucker can be used any time, any place, so easy! *masi usaha promo*
It is sih, bisa masuk tas juga yak ahaha
yoih haha…jadi ngimpinya dilanjutin aja nih yak? heheh rempong bener si banana filek nehh
lanjoooottt neenggg!
get well soon, mbak! am i that care, macem pacar? 😀
Maturnuwun,,,aamiin. Kl pacarnya kaya kamuh,,,suami takkan jeles deh,,,hihi, pusing aja dengerin kita ngobrol ngecuprus palingan
ha..ha.., but great inventions come from small things, an apple can make Newton (if I am not mistaken) famous
Mb Monda, that’s a very encouraging comment. Thank you. maybe i should go on and pursue this dream, what do you think? *After clearing my snot first, of course* 🙂
“Yapping” – this is so Singaporean! “Ms. Yap” lol. Great that you can join the post banana. I think you are recovering already from the tone of this post. Drink plenty of water and please minimize your yapping for the time being 😊
Mikan-chan, so I am now Ms. Yap? 😀
Lips are sealed for now, no yapping!
LOL. Please continue….your usage of the word yapping just reminded me of a couple of mrs. yaps I knew haha

Mba Nana. We miss you. Get well soon Mba. I had cold also last week. Well, still am actually. But better now.
I am wondering (wandering – which one is correct term Mba?), who will suck the snot? Ourselves?
Mas Ryan, thank you very much for the kind attention. I’m recuperating (I’m trying, I really do!). Trying to catch up with reading our member’s post.
Btw, it is wondering.
Wandering = walk or move in a leisurely or aimless way, travel aimlessly. In bahasa, somehow I usually translate it as berkelana, mengembara. cmiiw
Who will suck the snot? The tool which I dreamt on inventing. Well you can ask your loved one to do it for you though, but really? ha ha 🙂
hahaha…. then I better try to look the loved one first before you really invent that. 😀
This is another kind of ‘wildest dream’. I never thought of inventing something if I was sick. I just desperately prayed for my health and wellness 😀 and try some non-pharmacological approaches.
Your wildest dream had been thought by a person years ago, and he/she got the chance to turn it into a useful product earlier than you, Mba Nana 🙂
I love your writing, it’s kinda ‘blak-blakan’ yet amusing :).
Hi, Ami! I wrote the post out of frustration. Clearing the snot is a pain in a**. Pardon my language here, dear!
I am not a good writer, actually.Somehow, I’m good at writing a silly piece just like this one 🙂
Not sure if I have to be happy or sad with that. Thoughts?
I am okay with that phrase, Mba, no worries 🙂
No, it’s not silly at all 🙂 You have to be happy with that, since I wish I can write like you to free up my mind :D. Sometimes, I feel my writing is a bit rigid.
