_of Get Well Soon

Dear YQ,


  I know having a fever sucks, and it gets worse if coupled with...


...coz most of the time they  do the procedure above, it is either because:

a) you have dengue;
b) you have some inexplicable/incurable diseases;
c) they simply have no idea why you are sick.

  And I am hoping that you will get (c), because, well, at least you know you are not in (a) or (b) kind-of situations, which in my opinion, are way much worse than the third one. You are still entitled to your own opinion, though (it has nothing to be with you being sick).

I take pride in being impartial, which I am 117.36% sure that you would not agree to that.

So, here wishing you a speedy recovery, and don't think too much. Yet.

I lied. I have a cat, but Iamsonotgoingtogiveittoyou.

  Rest well.

_of Me Against My Health

The four cartoons below will have NOTHING to do with this entry. Enjoy!

1. The reason why I should NOT be on diet...


- I am too narcissistic to allow myself to stop existing.

2. Is it not cool to...


- Watch chickens roasting another chicken (and never-seen-before-scenes of slaughtering the head, plucking the feathers, skinning the meat etc etc)? It certainly lighten up my day.

3. Exorcism?


- Is what I think Q.L. needs every time she goes to sleep and wakes up 14 hours later.

4. Me, a commitment-phobic?



- Hah!


The rest of the cartoons is definitely about this entry. (Cartoons courtesy of Natalie Dee, you can check the website here ). Enjoy!

   
  Now, the story often begins with the main character. Which, in my case, will be a Ramen noodle (we Malaysians called it, The Maggi).



  Out of nowhere, Snow butts into the story. It was a dream, unfortunately - for whoever with a right mind (Q.L. excluded) will know that our country Will. Never. Snow. No matter how hard we wish it will be.


  Added into the story is The Sick Week. Germs running around the house.


  Throw in some big, hairy monster-ish spiders, running into...

  
  Dear God, please, not my hair~

Yuck.

 
  And when TSW + Spiders + NOT my hair, suddenly it equals to A few days of FEVER + COUGH + a bit of FLU. (this is the scene where Q.L. disappeared - her reason being, "I don't want to get INFECTED!!!!!!" What am I? A zombie?!)


  And like ALL good stories, the bad guy loses the fight. So, there ends my entry of "Me Against My Health".

Thank you.
 
If you ever think that this post doesn't make any sense, I don't blame you. (It does not make sense to me, either) But fear not! Since I strongly believe in the maxim "A picture can paint a thousand words"...

...this rather explains it all. Don't you agree?

_of Food Poisoning

  I must be having the "best" of health this year, it seems like there is a floodgate of sicknesses and illnesses that I need to get before the end of December. I just only got better from a "Food Poisoning" on Monday. It was on the scale of Mega Horrible, being on verge of Giga Terrible.


 -> Did I mention that it was the day BEFORE my Land Mock Exam? Once again, I cannot emphasize more strongly how terrible TERRIBLE it was.


 -> The (err...) vomit luckily did not turn into a Monster Goo, of that I am truly grateful. But sometimes, there is only how little a girl can take on one day.

 -> And it was all because of this.


A slice of Secret Recipe's Chocolate Indulgence cake.

Which I ate the night before.

And don't even try to ask me why I ate a slice of cake in the middle of night.

Let's just not get into there.


 -> Sometimes, I just want to curl up and die. Sigh.

P.S. A news worth telling, I have passed my Negligence test the other day, but it was barely passed. Oh my, I don't even know how to pass my Final Exam next year if this continues. And I have Evidence test later in the morning. Life really sucks sometimes.

P.P.S. I was thinking about you when I was revising my Land notes last night. More often than not, I wish you would just find me and ask me how I am doing now. Like how you did last time. It was just plain sweet. But it is a wish too good to be true, isn't it?

_of Jumbled Thoughts

_of Coffee + Holiday...

 -> Yeah, right.


  -> It is The Time of The Year again (sigh). Let's just hope no more any SURPRISING news, shall we?

 -> And while we are at it, like usual, I will not go back to my hometown this year. I don't know, there is just some laziness when the day comes. I will be a sticky-pan soon, if this continues.


 -> This I will wholeheartedly agree. Nothing in my life dictionary indicates "Coffee is The New Black" or "Coffee is The Rule" or anything else like that. I must be a weird person.



_of Free Pizza Coupons...


 -> Sometimes, Q.L. and I do get lucky. We have free Domino's Pizza (!!!) coupons for several times in a row. But now that I have denounce pizzas of all sorts, I do not think the coupons will do me any good.

Might as well give it to an Igor. MuaahahaHAHAHA. 


_of Holiday (Part II)...

  -> I heard of this tradition before. They said you will get very lucky for a while if you manage to catch the first snowflake of the year. Well, that is easy-peasy for those who have winter seasons in THEIR country. WHAT ABOUT ME???!!!


_of Life in College...

 -> I wish the subjects are this easy to explain.


 -> We learned this in Evidence, if I am not mistaken. Oh no... I did this for my essay in Evidence, read it in the Allen's book, by the way. The brief notes given to us are pretty funny. And I mean, funny in a FUNNY way.


_of What Will Happen Next...
 

 -> This is, apparently, a damn-good advice. ^_^


_of Q.L....

 -> This is THE famous painting of "The Scream" by Edvard Munch.


 -> This is how Q.L. looks when she yawns. Notice the difference yet?

_of un-Pizza-ness and un-Coffee-ness

  There is not much to say about my Tort test (which was accidentally adjourned to Wednesday, phew!). One thing worth some hundred dollars is the question of:

Why did I fall sick on Wednesday, November 24th?


Let's analyze the whole thing, shall we?
_______________________________________________________

It all started with...

1. Beef Pepperoni Pizza...

 -> This is the MAIN reason why I fell sick that day (please add more to this sentence, i.e. the feeling of nausea, nearly vomitting, and diarrhea). That will just sum up my condition IN THE SCHOOL nicely. Yes, you did not read it wrong. I was feeling unwell the whole time IN THE CLASS. Just. Because. Of. Some. Pizzas.

 -> I need to remember to breathe in, breathe out.


2. More accurately, Beef Pepperoni DOMINO's Pizza...

 -> Ahh... This whole thing JUST GETS BETTER with the Domino's there. @#$%!!!! Do you realize how mad I am? This is going to be the end of my pizza-eating life. Just like that.


3. Add more COFFEE to it...

 -> Meanwhile, apparently my lack of sleeping (or the non-existent feeling of sleep) is due to the fact that someone has been drinking coffee again. Weeeee----


4. Which leads to...

 -> If you still do not know me THAT well, I can explain this. I. Cannot. Drink. Coffee. At. All. So, which of these words you do not understand?


5. And the inevitable result is...

 -> Yes. This will happen soon, mark my words.

P.S. Now, now... We WILL NOT want this to happen, do we?

_of Being Voodoo-tised

P.S. Please read this with ABSOLUTE sarcasm. Because that is how I like it to be. However, please be noted that I DO take this matter seriously.

Or bomoh-tized (if you like).

  Well, it started over a month ago. Remember my rashes, my inconsistent fevers etc etc etc? The doctors could not find out what was wrong with me, and it is already a long time, thus my mom and I sought traditional opinions.

The result came out, and I wasn't shocked.


 -> Yupe, you guessed it right. Q.L.'s most "beloved" housemate has done it again. Sigh. At least we know that doctors are still reliable - but only for the ordinary illnesses.

  But it gets to my nerves recently. The "sickness" (if you want to dub it THAT way) currently becomes a pain in the ass (NOT to be taken literally).

  It has gone too far, and I wish she would stop.


 -> However, we know her better than that. She will continue doing so. Therefore, we are looking for another alternative.



 -> Sometimes, I hate to resort to those kind of stuffs.


 -> And this is what mostly happened in the last few days when we tried to find some suitable homes.

ARGGGHHHHHHH.



 -> Many times, this is what I want to do.

_of Sunway Medical Centre (Trip 2)

  A normal morning.

  A normal early morning.

  A normal very early morning, around 7:55am, in fact.



 -> There is something quirky about the fact that I am beginning to feel like the "Favourite Customer of the Month" in this place. And there is also something unpleasant about having to tell your Lecturers that you are going to miss classes again for the umpteenth time.

 -> But do not judge me by the way I behaved this month. Imagine, for once, that you suddenly feeling nauseous and nearly vomit in the college, without no apparent reason. Surely you will be panicked.

Won't you?

 
 -> I was consulted by a doctor who was a bit on the quirky side himself. There is something scary about the way a doctor behaves when he or she cannot find what is wrong with you. 

 -> He smiled (yes, he did). And smiled. And smiled. And told you that everything was caused by the meds you took earlier.
Now. Will that sounds assuring to you?

 -> And coupled with the fact that he wrote you 5 (FIVE!!!) prescriptions with long and unpronounceable names which doctors are famous for.

 -> And asked you to stay outside for a while because he really REALLY really couldn't find what was wrong with you, except confirming the fact that you were:

(a) having a fever of 37.28 Celcius.
(b) having rashes all over the body (mostly hands), inexplicably.
(c) having more problems after seeing a doctor of their own the previous week.

-> And the doctor thought that MAYBE, just maybe, you might have dengue.

So now, will YOU not be worried too?


--- Gruesome pictures next --- 



 -> And trust me, you will not like the feeling of being surprised when the smiling doctor told you that you were going to take ANOTHER blood test ON THE SPOT. Plus a urine test. P.S. There will be no pics of urine here. That is WAY too disgusting.

 -> It has the uncanny feeling of being a turtle, caught eating some cabbages (or carrots, in fact) in the spotlight.

 -> When the vet asked you NOT to eat cabbages or carrots for a while.



 -> This is how my hand looked like NINE hours after the blood test.

Nine, people. NINE freaking hours.
And after a deep sleep.

SEE THE RED SPOT THERE???!!!

*whining whining*


 -> Thank God, everything was normal. All tests came back negative.

 -> But why am I so NOT happy? Coz it is the fact that the doctor, after that many hours, STILL could not find what was wrong with me.

 -> And give me a new prescription.

Pills to stop nausea.


Now. Can anyone tell me what is the sole reason of me NOT trusting hospitals, clinics, the doctors and those others in the health profession?


P.S.: Queen Lipas is worst. She is diagnosed as being pregnant.

^_^

  
And the hand still hurts. A LOT. T_T

_of Suicide Attempts

  Gotcha! Relax. I am still not that depressed to attempt suicide. I love myself so much, it borders on the level of narcissism.

  It's the third day after my blood test (time runs very VERY slowly now) and my body continues to show some signs of rashes. And itchiness. So, why this post?



 -> This is a miso soup. I made this for lunch and dinner tonight. I am not an experienced cook, nor am I a talented one,  but because I ban myself from Maggi (err. At least for a few days.), I have to resort to foods that are instant, quick and edible.
 
 -> Porridge is out of question. I have rashes in my mouth the minute I ate porridge. (How do I know this? I cooked porridge last night. And that is how I confirmed my result.)

 Okaayyyy, back to the miso soup. What's wrong with it, you may ask? Look closely.

Look closelyyyyy.

Not close enough...

Ok. I know you gave up. Let me put up a more detailed pic of it.


  
 -> Prawns!

  Ok. I know that is not funny. NOT funny at all. But hey. Let me defend myself for a while here. There are some facts about me:

(a) I DO NOT have allergic reaction to seafood.
(b) The doctor DO NOT think I have any allergic reaction AT ALL.
(c) Even IF I do have allergic reaction to those things (and that is a BIG if), it is not that easy to die have a very very bad and terrible effect from it. Right? Right?? RIGHT????

*knock woods*

  But I am still hungry. :(



 -> Q.L. and I have an inside joke about Garfield. Guess how old is he? We reckon he is 44.



 

 -> There is a grammatical error for this picture. Hungry hungry hippos ARE NOT a singular thing. No matter how hungry they are.


  
 -> I love this more. More. Much much more.



Slightly related to the topic but of no consequence...






P.S.: You might be wondering about the first two pictures. It is a pic of a table in my room. I DO put a tissue underneath the plastic bowl and my water bottle and inside my containers. I'm a tissue-lover. Tissue-advocate. Tissue-obsessor. So what?
