trench warfare in my shoes.

such a tiring week this was, except for the fact that it wasnt because i had any physical stuff or high-key event meetings of that sort. its more like im.. drugged(yes you heard me).

went to national skin center on tuesday for my first medical appointment regarding my foot rot. apparently there's a cooler name for it, trenched feet. yes you soldiers all over the world i know you feel my pain. its like the curse of infantry soldiers. so so so very difficult to get rid off. in case you all have no idea what's going on here, my once happy feet were abused and drowned in the treacherous waters of the brunei jungle for a good whole 9 days without a change of socks. what resulted was fungi that found my feet to be a prime location to have a street of 5-star hotels and shopping malls, and have since refused to recognise any other feet to be as cosy as mine. yes, its been there on my feet for almost a year now. occassionally it would itch but recently for wadeva reason they've gotten really itchy and erm.. nvm.

so anyway, the doctor gave me a new type of medication this time ard(im telling you by now i've known every single anti-fungi cream). so it was an anti-inflammatory with anti-microbial cream for external use on my feet, as well as an oral anti-fungus medication. okay basically you just need to know that the cream to be applied contains steriods, which would reduce the itch but on another hand, over application would cause the fungi to cultivate even more. so here comes the oral medication to help suppress such a situation.

here's the catch, there's ALOT of side effects to this oral medication, from getting sunburn easily, to feeling ridiculously fatigue for no apparent reason.

anyway, the next afternoon after taking the pill, a strange thing happened to me in office. it was like all of a sudden a thousand ants were in my boots at once, and both my feet felt so terribly inflamed and swollen. i ripped off my boots and socks to find both my feet bright red(for God knows why) and could barely walk without cringing in pain. i thought it was some allergic reaction to the medication, but thought otherwise since it took like a good whole 17 hrs for my body to show signs of it. i soon realise it was that the oral suppressant medication had worn off..

so basically im like living off the drug now, for a whole month!! so annoying how its just so tiring to drag yourself through the day, and can u believe it, i even felt breathless blowing a balloon for CG games and climbing across an overhead bridge lol. sheesh old age. haha good excuse to sleep more though.



and also two afternoons ago my sister cooked the first ever lunch for me. yes, from cracking the egg to lighting the store, it was 100% hers, which of course includes the inedible finished product(which erm, needs getting used to). armed with a cup of milk and a prayer against any possible liver failure, i tried to down her noodles as best as i could. haha and i ate every strand alright. but i really couldnt take her eggs. who on earth, fries the eggs with black sauce!? correct me if im wrong, shouldnt it always just be used as a "seasoning" only after frying it?? i took a small bite(out of kindness but mostly out of encouragement) and found my mouth swimming in oil. HAHA gosh i can still taste it in my month two days later. nvm lah right, we all start off with black eggs. she eventually threw them away after failing to persuade my dad or bro and (even herself) to have a mouth.

okay, one more week to HongKong. need some friendly advice here if you've been there before since none of us going knows how to speak a word of cantonese and erm decent mandarin. if you know where's the must go, and what nots. TELL ME!!
