Invincible!!!!

With all the comments from my friends, I think it’s really time for me to justify on what i was talking about in some of my previous post.

About one month ago, I got rejected from donating my blood cos my Haemoglobin（红血球） was too low.Then, I went to do a blood test and i was confirmed anemic–>贫血.Yup!!I got a bit freaked out at that time cos it seems like i’m sick.The test results also shows that i maybe having Thalassemia trait–>地中海贫血症。which means that i maybe having the genes of thalassemia but not showing any symptoms of thalassemia..A person who has Thalassemia will have problems making their haemoglobin in the red blood cells…It’s not an illness that is fatal…So, in order to confirm it, my parents took me to see a doctor and did a Haemoglobin Electrophoresis(which is a special test) to study my haaemoglobin. The test results would be out after two weeks….in the meantime, the doctor also suspected that my low Hb level maybe due to malabsorption too as there maybe parasites in my digestive system, that’s why they gave me Albendazole which is an anti-parasite drug(much of a prophylaxis treatment which means preventive medicine)…

So, there maybe two outcomes…

First, I maybe positive for Thalassemia.But, it’s no big deal cos it’s asymptomatic(which means it  doesnt show any signs) and it’s common among us…The person sitting beside u in the LRT maybe having Thalassemia trait, ur bf/gf maybe having Thalassemia trait even Andy Lau or Johnny Depp maybe having Thalassemia trait. I can still run, walk, study, swim, play, and chat with u happily even though i maybe having thalassemia trait… Just like ppl having colour blindness…

Of course, I maybe having NO THALASSEMIA TRAIT at all…It maybe dozens of other causes that had lead to my low Hb level…so, if it’s not Thalassemia trait at all i may need to eat food which contain high iron content to replenish my iron store to build more Haemoglobin.

I’m so sorry if i had made a big fuss over it in my previous posts and that caused ur worries…
Maybe it’s just because I don’t like being called anemic or thalassemic–>贫血
But, thanks to all the friends that have asked me about how am I, whether am I OK?Really thanks…thank you…It’s heart-warming to be given concern…I’m OK and I will be OK…Nothing can pull me down even if i’ve got cancer(touch-wood) what more to say for just being anemic…There are dozens of ppl out there having more serious diseases..There are zillions of ppl out there waiting to be cured…maybe i shouldnt have think too much about myself…

Have been browsing through the net and felt that there are things that i wanna share :

1.    Be grateful for things that went right
2.    Be grateful for things that didn’t go wrong
3.    Be grateful for things that go wrong, if not for it, we wouldnt learn

Am I grateful?Are you grateful?Are we grateful?

Vic…I miss ur crap and cold jokes…The night when we talked and crapped really leave a deep impression in my heart…My cousins rox!!!Although the stay in Kuching was so short and i’ll definitely go again but i guess i benefit enough through this trip…

By the way, i havent talk a bit about the main purpose i went to Kuching. I attended Sis Angela’s wedding.Finally , after years of searching, her prince charming is Bro Adrian Lim a nice penang lad.Best wishes to u guys and may u all live blissfully.

Oh my god…..

I’m taking Albendazole 200mg….

Trypanosoma?Malaria?Babesio?

The doctor said i maybe having parasites in my GI that had caused my iron-deficiency….

something going in my mind…

The more i know…

The more i’m scared…

Cos problems kept surfacing….

San ge said my Hb level which had sprung to 11 is more suggestive of Thalassemia!!!!

8-9 not that suggestive???

Cos normally Thalassemia trait ppl have borderline Hb level…

What the……..

woohoo….

I’m back to my home sweet home…
Pa and ma are still the same..just a bit more naggy…maybe cos i was iron-deficient before this.
Da ge’s family was as merry as b4..Wan xin got taller…Zu ying more and more handsome..and oh gosh..Zu xiong can walk on his own d…and sure he’s a little cutey….
Er ge’s family going to expand soon..but er sao is as radiant as b4 although prregnant…
San ge of course still so busy..but he came back today…one day off..and we actually had a reunion dinner at home today….

Mum and dad brought me to the hospital this morning..to take blood and do the Hb electrophoresis..gotta wait for one week for the results…But i did a full blood count..and yoohoo..Hb level was back to 11 something…I’m not iron-deficient anymore…haha….

Tomorrow is Hari Deepavali..to all the indian friends..Happy deepavali…

I would be going to Kuching on saturday night to attend my cousin’s wedding…
Come fly away with me….(Michael Blublae)

haha=p

Should we show our emotions on our face?

Or should we hide it?

Should we not be so childish anymore?

To think that the people in this world are all kind and good?

To think that the people in this world actually show their true selves in front of others?

To think that we should show our true selves to others ALWAYS?

should I?

P/S: to my fellow friends..thanks for the concern..nothing happened to me..just someone that i encounter and that triggers off the above questions in my mind.I do still think that there are lots of good, kind and truthful person around me….=)

Sometimes….

Some day…..

Some things…..

It’s better not to have high hopes……

Or rather absolutely no hope at all…..

Miracle????……

I said miracle is supposed to be waited……

Am I waiting for one???…..

I wonder……

P/S:Concentrate and study….U wouldn’t want CVS to repeat again…

First of all, I wanna thank Alvin for asking me to join the MAPCU swimming competition..I felt so proud wei….Although i feel like joining very much but i know where my standard is lah..thanks for asking…sad……can imagine?participating a inter-college swimming competition for a kampung swimmer like me…haha..what should i do if i was lagged behind like for half the pool..i should just drowned myself and pretend to have sprained ankle or pulled muscles and try hard to vomit once i was saved out of the pool…hehe…..wait for me to train one year maybe to join…but it would be insignificant by that time..hmmmm…stop ur day-dreaming lah chia huan!!!

Oh ya, by the way.. I’m iron-deficient…haizzzz…suspected for thalassemia…haven’t confirmed…need to do Hb electrophoresis to confirm it…blood test showed decreased PCV,MCH,MCHC and MCV…Peripheral smear showed Target cells, anisocytosis and poikilocytosis…quite a relevant case during haemato right??by the way, thanks to jackie for sending me to do the blood test and thanks to winnie for sending me to take the results..thanks chui han, chung kia, uwen and fabian for laughing at my results and telling me that my results interested them so much…..-.-”’thanks to the path lab brochure that told me "ANY CHANGES IN UR BLOOD WOULD BE THE FIRST INDICATION OF A DISEASE BEFORE THE ONSET OF THE SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS!!"…Thanks to my Dr. Ng brother who told me that i maybe having tumour and cancer…..-.-”’Got really freaked out for few days after the blood test results…missed home badly that time and this time is real thanks to dad & mum for coming up to kl and visited me…It was really heart-warming …i felt secured…and got back to bj as strong as before..I can still run 10  rounds of lake and can still carry on with my daily life as happy as before and maybe better than before and better in the future……

I wanna say thanks to all my friends who showed concern although u guys laughed at my blood test results…really thank u…

wootsss!!!I’m happy….

Haha….I still have the time to update my blog…Mock OSCE is next wednesday and haemato exam is next friday and i ‘m here updating my blog….action habis…n i’m complaining that 24 hours is just not enough for me recently….”knock my own head”…haha…..

I’m quite fed-up with my haemato revision ady…things just cant seem be going into my head no matter how i mugged on them…ishhhhh……anyway, i just came back from hui lin’s birthday celebration….a nice and happy one..in secret recipe..had a sumptous meal..yummy….happy birthday hui lin..u’re 20 ady…same as me..haha…-.-”’

ok…I have a sudden urge to complete my uncomplete imu cup post..the chronology stopped at track&field…I ran 4×100m and 4×400m…hmmm…was quite satisfy with my own performance..haha didn’t “punchit”..although we didn’t win at last but i enjoyed the run very much…it was held in the big bukit jalil commonwealth stadium..i really felt like an international runner altho not up to standard..but at least i get to imagine myself as one…wahaha…it felt so good to jump in the middle field with the spectators seats surrounding u and the lights were like shinning on u….wow!!!!!!imagine….”one day, the whole of the stadium is full of ppl who will be clapping for u!!!!”shiokk….Jackie…did u get that feel that u were a professional starter???”On-Your-Mark…Get Set…GO!!”…not bad huh..Uwen..u can really jump lah…have faith in urself man…u can do it…Hui lin..U too..remember our promise to da pao them ya…o.O”’hehe….As a whole, our M205 t&f team got 3rd. Some of the M205’s runners got great results in their individual events!!!Patrick, Ivy, Li Li and Jack did quite well…Well done guys…We can surely da pao them next year considering we practice from now lah…haha….hope so…..But, I enjoyed it…very much….for being in the M205 team….

Last but definitely not the least would be the closing ceremony which was on thursday(28/9)…magnificent cheerleading performances and the well-organised(?) prize giving ceremony…I have to say here to the cheerleading team..”u guys are really better than last year..don’t be defeated altho we didn’t get into top3..u guys are the best considering u all only trained for 12 days and we have respi exams in between..”

In a nutshell, i had a great time during the whole imu cup..whether as a supporter or as a participant…Get to know quite a number of ppl and strengthen the friendship among own batch mates….Lets get prepared for next year’s imu cup.!!!yoohoo….
