Leaving Today

PinkI decided to organize my mobile phones by buying one of those that are big enough to fit two phones. Last minute shopping. I regret getting a light pink one though because it would get dirty fast.P1000211 Pies that Franklin gave with the claim that after I consume all that yucky medicine, I have to consume tasty food like pies. I think Chinese physicians classify pies as “toxic” food? But they were delicious.P1000221And SOMEBODY decided to surprise me before I leave to college by “borrowing” my calculator and then spraying it pink and bling-ing it. Interesting. I never had anything bling-ed before. Now it seems like I own more and more pink items.P1000212My suitcases are packed and I am all set to go. I would like to pack my piano with me and as for my blog, it might not get updated as frequently but it won’t die.

I skipped the Yayasan award ceremony yesterday morning just to make one last trip to my skin specialist over my allergies. Seems like my urticaria cleared up today just like the old lady at the chinese medicine shop said it would… or perhaps it was the modern medicine… or perhaps it was that Holy Novena that apparently never fails… hmmm… who knows?

I Skyped with Perry and I found out that he’s planning on growing his hair long. Shocking.

Oh and since I won’t have internet service temporarily for quite sometime to do a birthday post, Happy Birthday in advance to Stefan Lim. So here’s a Birthday tribute to you in advance…

1. You owe me dumplings!!!
2. Go learn how to wake up late.
3. Thanks for sparing your ears all the time. ^_^V13052009769

Traditional vs. Modern

I was supposed to go out with Franklin and Stefan for Xiao Long Bao dumplings hunting spree at Mitsu, Tarot and some other place (I forgot what where was the place) at 8.00AM this morning. Unfortunately, I had a urticaria relaspe at 2.00AM so I bailed out on them.

I was on Loratadine, Prednisolone and topical Fluticasone Proprionate (Cutivate) for five days. From my own observation, Loratadine and Prednisolone only seemed to suppress the inflamation. However, Cutivate does work miracles and the redness goes away pretty fast but that only seems to work for the face. Other parts of the body, after the redness subsides, there would be a faint shade of purple. Almost like bruises.

So I ranted to the Old Ones (also known as my grandmothers) and Grandmother 1 gave me a packet of Xia Gu Cao tea while Grandmother 2 asked me to take Lemon Balm plant baths.

Honestly, I have never believed in traditional Chinese medicine but I doubt that too much modern medicine for a continuous length of time is good either. So oh what the heck, I shall just give alternative medicine a try.

I had a whole pot of burdock water to myself yesterday, the purple bruise-like marks completely.  O.O

Urticaria disappeared as well but like I previously said, it relapsed.

Then, Aunty 2 recommended that I pay a visit to this traditional Chinese medicine shop at Jalan Padungan. Apparently her son had urticaria recently and after taking traditional Chinese medicine, it was fine the next day and the many days that followed. O.O

My dad took me to the shop this morning. The old lady there scrutinized me and then, came up with a concoction of liquids and powder. So I will conclude after several hours if traditional Chinese medicine or modern medicine works better to cure urticaria. This is so ironic coming from a student like me who’s preparing to study modern medicine.

And that old lady who is about 80 years old, she has no wrinkles at all, no liver spots at all, really fair and huh, has complexion better than those you see on the Elizabeth Arden commercial billboards. I wonder what she eats and uses everyday… O.O

Footer: I think being sick actually makes me smarter since it teaches me about drugs and symptoms.

Courtesy Calls

Today I realized that I have been so irritated with XXX all the time that I just can't feel pissed anymore. It is like I have developed an immunity.

"Oh ya.. and not even a single congratulation from Gab but then i dun expect her to do so, its a courtesy," said XXX on Thursday who got XYZ Scholarship.

Bullshit and bullshit again, I didn't even know that XXX got XYZ Scholarship on Thursday.

Then again, when I got my JPA scholarship, what did Miss "Courteous" XXX say to me?

"Good..."

Haiya, some human beings. It is like they give you problems and expect you to give them diamonds in return. Cut me some slack.

Come on lah, you want me to be courteous? Here's me being very prim, proper and courteous.

CONGRATULATIONS YOU FOR GETTING A SCHOLARSHIP.

Looks like God has entrusted you to handle all of His loved ones' treasures. Oh do not worry about the hardships that you are bound to face because it is now all so clear that it is God's plan for you to study finance. God knows that the best career pathway for you in your wonderful life is the finance career.

My last piece of advise for you in life is to smarten up to not test my patience.

Ya, so once again. Congratulations.

Oh and today, I ate a Spicy Chicken McDeluxe.

Drugs, Michael Jackson

*Beep beep!* goes my Nokia N95 8GB while I was on my way to the skin specialist at 7.15AM.
”Michael Jackson died of cardiac arrest” says Mum.

My urticaria worsened over the night, angry red welts all over my legs, arms, hands, feet, waist and back.

“Doesn’t look so bad leh,” said Frankie at 7.00AM when he dropped by to borrow a calculator and saw my calamine-covered arms. Oh, just how dot…dot…dot…

At 7.30AM, I hear on the radio… “Michael Jackson died of cardiac arrest.”

Skin specialist gave me loratadine and prednisolone. Did you know that prednisolone is banned under the WADA anti-doping rules because it is a glucocortisteroid? I guess it’s true what Stefan always tells me that I am drugged. This reminds me of some fake doping drug Amy made up in her examination essay.

*Beep beep!* goes my Nokia N95 8GB again while I was in the car on the way to the lab.
”Michael Jackson is dead!” says Perry.

Then, I went to get a urine test done. I hate collecting urine. I think it is a torturing process especially when my bladder isn’t even full. Okay, too much details.

I had sio bee and a cup of warm Milo at a nearby coffee shop after that. After I took my medications and applied topical corticosteroid, I slept for 5 hours straight. When I woke up, aha, my urticaria improved by a lot. Just faint red patches on certain areas of the body now.

Then, I had Shanghai dumplings for lunch and when I went online…

”GABUS!!!! GABBY!!! MICHAEL JACKSON DIED!!!! I’M GOING TO WEAR BLACK TO GRIEVE!!!” said Amy.

”Not hyped up over the death of Michael Jackson?” said Stefan.

I think Michael Jackson literally threw away his life though. All that excessive skin-bleaching and plastic surgery. Imagine up waking up to face the mirror everyday, seeing the disaster you have inflicted upon yourself.

Urticaria and Rants

I developed urticaria and once again, I have no idea what’s the allergen. At first I thought I was bitten by some swarm of mosquitoes but later I came to realize that it was an allergy. Learning from experience, I had to muster every ounce of discipline to not scratch and all that itching made me wake up at 4.00AM today to surf through Facebook and catch a brief chat with Perry.2482177040_ff621053e5I think people who inflict dermographic urticaria upon themselves are quite sick in the mind. I mean, you think getting urticaria is so fun ah? It is like… “hey cancer looks very cool to have!”

Anyway, I got ripped off (only he knows what I am talking about and this other he too) but not that is hasn’t happened before anyway. All I can say is…ah cowpoop and shrug it off. P1000197The Nokia 1203 phone... the Nokia 1203phone...
The motherboard died, so my dad bought me the Nokia 2630 to replace it since I needed a phone for my sub line. I think it looks quite nice for a reasonably cheap phone, I’ve never owned a white phone before.

Shooting jacket makes one look fat. Nevertheless, I love this photo.

New Theme: Signature Header

Untitled I bet some of you are thinking…

“Wtf! Why is her blog super pink!”signaturecatChill. 

It WAS super pink.

I guess after much tweaking and work, I still prefer my grey theme. I think it looks more professional. Haha!

But for a change, I’ll just leave this theme on for now until I feel like switching back to the grey theme.
