It's Supposed to be a Good Month

Hi folks. The title says it all. August. A jubilant (happy) month for DJ. Cos there's my birthday in it. But everything that happened this month is horrible...

1. Planned to start bioreactor run starting 1Aug but due to mechanical fault, have to push my run back. Then I'll be eating into others' schedule. What the ~

2. Lost my wallet. Thank goodness it's just the money pouch. No cards inside. Wonder when did i drop it. Last I saw it was when i paid for mee hun kway at harbourfront foodcourt. Did it get picked? Only Heaven knows~~ (pls sing along)

3. Have been working on weekends for some time. And dreaded much more weekends would be burned in the lab. Sigh~

However, when one door is closed, yet another opens. In light of all those unfortunate events that happened, I did quite a few marvellous stuff...

1. Watched $ing Dollar with Gavin. Humorous. Although not my cup of teh but there're some bits which I liked. Support the local arts. Mission accomplished.

2. Watched Disney's UP and G.I.Joe: Rise of the Cobra (starred Lee Byung Hun as the deliciously malicious cold-blooded white ninja Storm shadow). Truly enjoyed both movies. Anticipating the sequel to G.I.Joe.

3. My organization is going to have a charity bazaar (Food Fest) and Free Cycle (people bring their unwanted usable stuff and others pick up what's there for free). Looking forward to get some preloved stuff. I know it's not much. But I like such silly events. You all try to imagine that Salvation Army trip. Good, right?

4. Finished reading manga Monster. Now going to embark a new series. Zettai Kareshi. Absolute Boyfriend. Oh, the starting is already so different from the show. A little silly but reading that makes life more bearable.

Overall, I have more happy stuff than upsetting ones to report. I feel a little happier for myself. But think that Taiwan's rural folks are having a hell of a time with the mudslides. I am indeed blessed already. Shoo with my blues!

Oh, want to apologize for my bad temper yesterday. Cos I realized I really lost my wallet. Really pissed with myself. But I got so mad I gave black face. Also spoke angrily. Gosh. Think mom was quite puzzled by my tantrum. Did she guess that I have lost something? Maybe... Hush...

Ok! DJ-aku's back again! :)

Me = Michael Scofield?

YO! DJ's writeup on Prison Break's reminded me of a little bloody incident that happened a few weeks ago (No orh-hors, please. The "bloody" wasn't meant to be a "bad word", but to be taken for its literal value).. Yup. That's coz in the show, Michael Scofield has this rare disease in the brain that makes him very smart, and also makes his nose bleed o-so-often.. So I thought I'd share with u ppl how I survived 7 nosebleeds in a span of 36hours.

I was on my way to school on 6th July, when my nose started to feel mucus-filled. Since I just sorta recovered from a fever/flu/sore throat, I thought nothing of it and just got a piece of tissue in my hand for precautionary purposes. Then, lol and behold, blood started to ooze out of my right nostril! Heng I had that tissue ready. It was kinda embarrassing, having to press upon my nose with a tissue throughout the bus journey. I was so afraid that the blood'll seep through the tissue and get to my hands or smt.. Can imagine the ruckus the person next to me might create (eg: WAH! ARE U OKAY? U'RE BLEEDING!! U WANT MORE TISSUE? ...) bleahx.. Thankfully, the person next to me was more interested in talking to the person sitting behind me, so I managed to go unnoticed.

By the time I got off the bus, my nosebleed's subsided. I decided to go to the toilet just to be sure that there's no dried blood hanging on my nose. Hee. While making my way there, I just had to take a look at the extent of the bleed..

After completing the mess-control, I got to find a quiet spot to do some self-study before going to the lab. And then it happened again.. I didn't realise until a drop of blood fell onto my notes.. FREAKY!

The extent of the flow's super great that I almost clogged the toilet bowl with blood-soaked tissue!

10min later, I thought the bleed's under control le. So I took a deep breath and almost choked. That's coz a huge mucus-blood clump was stuck in my nose passageway. Here's the picture of the horrific blockage:

Subsequent nosebleeds were of a similar nature lah, so i shall not gross u ppl out anymore.. But boy were the 36hours crazy.

"Too... this entry is really bloody. Almost as obscene as showing my used sani-pad (Jape don't mind the gross-ness). But on a more serious note. Wonder what's up with the bleeding nose. Hot weather? Stress? Food you ate? Quite a health scare. So Too. Better reflect. Repent your abberant (wrong) ways. So top of your list, you are going to:

1. Sleep early. Preferably before midnight. Every night.

2. Quit fries, hotdogs, twisties, potato chips and all junk.

3. Take things easy. You are already the best (ok, maybe just good enough already)."
