The Hiccup Story

Hiccup

I have a terrible sickness, hiccup. When it reigns upon me, it’ll last for a week (minimum). But that alone couldn’t stop me from working.

Today, I had a meeting with my client at Nilai. It’s an hour drive from my house. I made a quick pit stop for a mineral water, in hope that it’ll subside, provided I drank a lot of water. Unfortunately, no.

NoktahHitam: For this project *hick*, I recommend that *hick* we develop…
Client I: Sure.

At this point I’m sure the whole meeting room was giggling at my sudden gesture. F it. Thank God there wasn’t much to explain and my pen wasn’t working. So I sat there and paid extra attention to every detail they laid.

Hiccup bothers me a lot. I need a steady hand to draw something on photoshop. It also dents my effort to brainstorm on my projects. Even worst, it hurts (my diaphragm or ulu hati).

I’ve tried everything, hold my breath while drinking, scare myself on Youtube, I even did the hand stand (up side down position). But it won’t go away. I guess I have to live with it.

An old saying, ‘you’re growing when you have hiccups’. I hope ‘that part’ gets the end of the straw. *fingers crossed, haha*

ps: quoted from someone, I look like small boy when I have hiccups. Think again, I may have the following health problem   :arrow:

What causes hiccups that just won’t go away?
anesthesia - asthma - cancer - fear - fever - foreign body in the ear glaucoma - heart attack - hernia - hysteria - infection - kidney failure meningitis - multiple sclerosis - personality disorders - pharyngitis sedatives - shock - stroke - trauma   :shock:

The longest hiccup period I’ve got is almost a day. I woke up with a hiccup in the morning (most probably I woke up on the wrong side of the bed) and then it lasted until right after dinner. It makes me feel very stupid because I just keep peppering my speech with *hicks* :eek: I’ve tried every single method to stop the hiccup - breathing in real hard (it is supposed to work because it re-syncs the muscles in your diaphragm) or place salt on the back of your tongue (but I don’t know how this works though). A scare didn’t work, so as for holding my breath. I could only wait for it to subside.

The scary video link you’ve posted is just funny :D lol! If you want to try a scary prank, watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5vOcXr2heQ :lol:
