Ethmoid Sinus Infection
Remember how I said on Thursday that I was recovering from my flu-thingy and I was feeling loads better and etc etc??
Yesterday morning I woke up and blew my nose (the way I usually do in the mornings) and I FOUND BLOOD STREAKS IN MY PHLEGM.
I pretty much freaked out and died la ok.
I mean. Blood in phlegm. First thing I tot of was tb.
><
Then I managed to figure out that was NOT the probable diagnosis cos well I wasn't coughing up any phlegm really..it was mostly stuck in my nose or pharynx-abouts.
AND my nose hurt like hell.
So anyway.
Ran to doctor.
Apparently I have an ethmoid sinus infection.
Which was pretty severe.
To the extent a few capillaries surrounding the sinus burst.
-__-
Ethmoid sinus infections are not at all common, and are mostly the result of a maxillary sinus infection that has been left untreated and thus spread all the way to the ethmoid sinus.
Serves me right for not going to see the doctor two weeks ago la kannnnnn.
And then right.
After running thru all the meds he was prescribing with me (yes he knows I'm a med student and so explains every single detail),
hes like
"Oh. By the way. Watch out for any puffiness under your eyes, or any eye pain or fever or anything ok? Because as you know, there's only a thin bone separating the sinus from your brain. Theres a high possibility it might lead to an infection in your brain"
O_O
Gee. How VERY reassuring...NOT!
I bloody almost had a heart attack and died right there okay. Wtf.
There should be some rule where doctors should NOT tell students about worst case scenarios when aforesaid student consults the doctor as a patient.
My neck hurts. Ow. ow. ow.
I thought it was something to do with the way I'd slept yesterday, but its still hurting today...despite all the Ponstans and medicated-plasters and deep heat rubs.
MEH.
And I'm still not studying.
And I haven't done PBL.
And I'm in pain.
I'm also hungry.
So buh-bye I want to go eat.:D
This update is to let you know HOW close I am to possibly getting a brain infection and dying and therefore is directed mainly towards making you realise that subconsciously you absolutely love me and would die if I wasn't here to entertain you with my nonsense almost every day.
Heehee :D
P.S. I 'm not joking la okay. I really do have an ethmoid sinus infection. -__-

Micturition
Hi.
I haven't been blogging. Not that anyone cares.
Nvm I want to syok sendiri and pretend there are people who are deprived of my mo liu-ness when I don't blog for a few days.
For the record, mo liu = too free/jobless/etc.
I think la.
Meh.
Still recovering from a idunowhattocallit...infection? thingamajiggy thats been plaguing my life for the past 2 weeks.
Started out sore-throat-ish..then turned into severe sinusitis-minus-sorethroat and eventually progressed to asthma for about 2 days...then back to mild sinusitis...
..then touchwood today I is feeling loads better.
And no I didn't go see a doctor.
Cos its damn mafan to go see a doctor when the doctor knows you're a medical student.
Later doctor give long long lecture.
-_-
I want to write stories.
:(
Currently following 8 different stories on Fictionpress at the moment.
...cos I'm an idiot who doesn't know when to stop fooling around and start studying.
I want to study but theres soooo much, and at the end of the day I'll just be "meh" and then I'll put it off.
Again.
I'm in a very weird mood right now.
Hormonal imbalance.
This post has been littered with random pictures because I'm bored.
And I don't want to study today.
Or do PBL.
Or do anything else that might seem remotely productive.
As I said, I'm an idiot.
Sue me.

Helpless
I no longer have any control over anything happening around me.
And I have no expectations of people anymore.
They just break your heart.
They give you hope, teach you how to dream, promise to back you all the way...and right when you need them the most,
They snatch it all away.
And leave you lost. and helpless. and confused.
and broken.
And to have expectations of me, when you've never bothered to meet mine of you...that isn't unconditional love.
That's saying if you're not how I want you to be, I won't love you anymore.
And thats more cruel than anything, because I have no one else.
Guide me Lord. I need you now more than ever.

This is NOT a post by Vidya.
Hi.
Right.
I haven't posted here for so long.
Not that anyone cares.
Except Vidya.
Who keeps bugging me to blog.
Because she thinks she's being ss by posting herself.
Little does she know that all of us visit this blog at least once a day to witness her ss-ness.
Because deep down in our hearts, it's one of the little things that keep us sane, and out of boredom's reach.
Okay, I just said that to make her happy.
Vidya, you can stop SS-ing now. :D
What to blog about?
Hmmm...I can't even remember the last post I wrote.
Sad.
It's been like, what? 5 months, give or take since I've entered UM.
I've learned so much and yet...
At times I just get so lonely I feel like curling up into a ball in my room and crying all night long,
Just for the sake of crying.
And yet it's not possible.
Because I share a room with others,
And I don't like anyone seeing me cry.
Being in uni,
is slowly taking it's toll on me.
I have to put up a brave front every single day.
Facing people I can't stand,
Taking in their harsh words,
and yet not fighting back.
To me,
you don't make friends in university.
You just make acquaintances for convenience's sake.
Don't get me wrong.
There are some good friends out there,
but if you think about it,
sometimes the feeling is not mutual.
Sometimes,
it's just a case of "I use you, you use me."
And yet we blindly ignore the signs,
telling ourselves,
"Hey, maybe I'm just being paranoid."
Well, you know what?
It's all just one big facade.
We entertain certain people we can't stand,
because if we don't,
then we might not have anyone to turn to.
Like I said, for convenience's sake.
And yet,
when my true friends are in trouble,
I can't do anything to help.
I try to make them happy,
I tell them jokes,
I make a fool of myself.
I try so hard to cheer them up,
with ways so fickle,
so stupid,
that I end up feeling so useless,
for not being able to help a friend.
Sometimes I wonder,
If I were to die,
Who would be at my funeral?
Who would shed tears for me?
How long will I be remembered?
A day?
A week?
A month?
Will people think of me every morning for a week after I die,
only to have the memory start slipping away after that?
Or will I be remembered once in a blue moon,
when you flip through your old school magazine?
Will I be "the girl who was in the same class as me"?
Or will I be "the girl who changed my life"?
Who knows?
But the thought of it can be depressing.
Damn.
I just wrote a whole essay.
I sound so suicidal.
That's just the way I am.
In this dog eat dog world,you have to do whatever you can to survive.
I think this just about makes up for my lack of posting for the past few months.
Vidya, I blogged.
That should get you off my back for about 6 months.
Hah.
End.

Burning Up
I'm confused.
It hurts to think when you have a fever.
I miss those days when I was carefree enough to walk into CSU having read up absolutely nothing.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.

Weird Dream. Meh.
I had the weirdest dream ever today.
So lai lai, I tell you about my dream :D
So this one day I woke up and realised Summatives was the next day!
And the timetable was such that we had a paper everyday for the next two weeks without a break in between la (except for the weekend of course),
and therefore I'd have to come up with some miraculous studying strategy that would allow for studying during the entire exam period.
Thankfully, the first paper was Add Maths...but I was freaking out cos the day after next we had Sejarah and there was NO WAY I could cram Sejarah in just two days, and the next day was Physics, which is my all time worst subject and which I would have to cram extra for and...
....then I woke up and started freaking out for real.
O_O
Took me a good 30 seconds to remember I don't take any of those subjects anymore.
-___________-
I think this has probably something to do with my cousin sitting for her Form2 finals now,
and thus I have been hearing
"I studying Sejarah"
"I have KH exam tmr"
"Science sucked"
on a constant basis.
Its affecting my dreams wei wtf. -__-
I has been having other weird dreams, but it wouldn't do to share them. :(
I can't remember most of them anyway. Meh.
I was sick today. :(
Fever and sinus.
I hate how my entire face hurts when I have sinus (or sinusitis in med terms). Feels like I'm having a bloody toothache wtf.
Meow.
:D
