Post 111

supposedly should go school today, but something more important prone me to skip school, none other than my appointment with NUH. forced to get up to reach there early to get myself poked when my appointment was at 11.30 to have my blood test done and result out in one hour. luckily my sis accompany and drove me there, if not i have to wake up even earlier. and i reached there at 8.45 and only to have my blood test done 30 mins later with long queue of people waiting to 'donate' their blood to the lab for analyzing.

lab result will only be out a hour or so. so my sis and i went to have breakfast at the kopitiam and waited for a hour, then we waited for another hour at the specialist clinic, an answer from the nurse ' there six people queuing in front of you, so do you want to grab some food first?' i'm sure everyone knows what my answer was... if 10 mins for each patient, and i'm the seventh patient, that more than a hour to wait...

finally when it was my turn, i'm half dead by then...
first my blood test result, my white blood count is still high, but slightly better than my previous result. 17.51 (last result was 19.71, 3-8 range for a normal person)
secondly, they conclude this viral infection was my arthritis flare, and my new affecting areas that are in pain are the inflammation shifting to new areas.
thirdly, they will restart my past medication, prednisolone, methotraxate plus the painkillers... urgh, medicine again...
lastly, i was reading through the straits time today and saw this osteoporosis at the mind your body section, and it related to bones. so i ask jokingly to the doctor will i get it when i am old. guess what the doctor say? HIGH RISK, inflammation in my bones will make my bones more brittle easily... WAH, crack here and crack there when i'm old... and the doctor recommend me to take more calcium, MILK! everyone, please buy milk for me, thanks, preferably chocolate please, no melamine in it please...

have prawn noodle soup at Zion road, opposite great world city. not too bad, but the prawn is terribly bit small for a bowl that cost $6!!! however, the soup is special with pork rib taste inside, like half prawn soup, half bak ku teh, taste well with chilli powder...
Verdict - 3.7/5

best i ever taste before was at Old Airport Hawker Centre. With $5, you get to eat the prawn that is more than 15cm long. and the soup has a very strong prawn smell, add some chilli powder and the soup is taste perfectly.
verdict - 4.6/5

end my post here,
something wrong with my background music...///
