I just read Uncle Tan's blog. Sigh! I think he cried himself to sleep because of me. *whine* I hope it's not all because of me. Someone else must have taught him to rub salt on his ulcer too. And by the way, it IS the most effectively way to cure any big or small eruptions in your mouth! First, dampen your index finger. Then get some fine salt on it. Then open your mouth and put the finger (with salt) on your ulcer. Then rub the ulcer. Not too hard, but there must be some traces of blood at the end of the ritual. By this time, you would either feel really numb from the stinging pain, or you are still jumping up and down to take your mind off the pain. You'll feel the ulcer throbbing in your mouth. And of course, it's real normal to shed a tear or two. (Haha, Uncle Tan, I swear I'm really NOT laughing at you...!) Yar everybody, remember to rinse your mouth, it's real yucky salty! Tada! Guess what? The ulcer you'd thought was a permanent resident in your mouth will miraculously disappear in a day or two! (Uncle Tan, don't be inhumane, the ulcer needs time to pack and say good-bye too...) I tried this for a few times, and I seldom get ulcers these days. *blondie-in-TV-Media-Ad grin* Eh, Uncle Tan, your gossip reminds me of something call "retribution". Your chilli buddy did something wrong in his previous life, so kena stamps on his eyes now?! Oooooh, I am so evil! *bitchy grin*
