It was during primary school's year end holiday that I had my yearly stay at my grandma place.
I was really sick once, down with fever and grandma gave me a cup of miracle juice. A cup of freshest orange juice hand squeezed by her rough hands, I still remembered clearly the dialogue that took place 10 over years ago.
"Nah Ali, lim lo gi, lim liao dio ho!" (Translation : Here you go Ali, drink it down and you will be okay!"
Kids, they are always eager to drink anything beside plain water, I drank the entire cup and viola, the fever subsided!
Now, Chinese New Year Eve and I'm down with fever, grandma called up and told mum to give me orange juice. Mum can't find orange except mandarin orange and you need like 100 mandarin orange to give you one cup of juice. So, mum got me a bottle of Sunkist orange juice. (What's the diff?)
The diff is big big big. Colouring is added, perservatives are added, even flavoring is added and it is from CONCENTRATED ORANGE JUICE. I think it lacks the raw healing power of pure fresh orange juice.
20mins earlier I drank and I'm still waiting for the fever to go down..
