Green bean soup

Today my sis ask me to teach her how to cook green bean soup.
I was quite reluctant at first, due to the previous incident which she make a mess out of it for me to clear, but as always I usually gif in.
So I write down the steps for her.
And went to supervise and adjust the flame a few times.
Luckily, it was a success this time, and I hope I would be able to drink a wholly YQ's green bean soup subsequently : )

Sick

Haiz, I went for my super delayed run on friday nite. Had been telling myself to do that for the past 1 month. Ran a total of 4.2km.
My legs are felt like #&!%*@.
The consequence of me procrastinating.
(The new SAF act states, uni student also need to pass their IPPT or else also kenna RT.
Better dun let my guard down. I wun want to join RT.)

And today, when I woke up, I knew something was wrong.
I had no voice and my body aches thru-out.
Being sick is sian, and I cant concentrate on my revision for upcoming test.

Hope I will be fine tmr. I seriously need to pick myself up.
Half the sem is gone, yet I only learnt 1/4 of it.
Any holy-being wan to bless me?

Personality Test

Dunno why I always tempted to do personality test...


My Personality

Neuroticism	92
Extraversion	21
Openness to Experience	17
Agreeableness	75
Conscientiousness	56

You do not experience strong, irresistible cravings and consequently do not find yourself tempted to overindulge, however you are sensitive about what others think of you. Your concern about rejection and ridicule cause you to feel shy and uncomfortable around others. You are easily embarrassed and often feel ashamed. Your fears that others will criticize or make fun of you are exaggerated and unrealistic, but your awkwardness and discomfort may make these fears a self-fulfilling prophecy. You tend to feel overwhelmed by, and therefore actively avoid, large crowds. You often need privacy and time for yourself. You prefer familiar routines and for things to stay the same. You can tend to feel uncomfortable with change. You find helping other people genuinely rewarding and are generally willing to assist those who are in need. You find that doing things for others is a form of self-fulfillment rather than self-sacrifice, however you believe that a certain amount of deception in social relationships is necessary. You are guarded in new relationships and less willing to openly reveal the whole truth about yourself. You have a strong sense of duty and obligation, and feel a moral obligation to do the right thing.

Back to NSC

NSC = National Skin Center
It is located next to Tan Tock Seng Hospital, which is in turn next to Novena MRT station.
And I'm back there from 3 yrs. T.T
(Background info: I was a patient there for acne problem, discharged after 1yr of treatment)

It all started after my ICT.
Since then, my face has experienced an outcontrollable outbreak of acnes which wun heal.
I finally decided to visit the polyclinic last month to get referral letter to NSC.
(The standard SOP for seeing specialist)
The doctor at the polyclinic says "ur face acne not that bad leh, are u sure u want to see specialist?"
If I waited any longer, maybe really no face left -_-

So last monday, I took a 1.5h trip to dear NSC.
(Dun complain SG is so small only, think about those that need to go to sch from novena or pasir
ris everyday)
Ah-Q spirit...

During my turn for examination, there was 2 students/trainees inside.
The doc examine and say it's quite jialat, with nodules. (degree of chui-ness 3.5/4)
(Definition: An inflamed acne lesion presenting as a hard, painful lump under the skin. Nodules occur when there is a deep break in the follicle wall and contaminated debris empties into the dermis, infecting adjoining follicles.)
You see, doc of diff level say diff stuff.
She called her boss aka senior consultant to check if she can prescribe the same drug, isotretinoin, I had for last time.

Then came Mr Boss, with 3 more students.
And he starts giving lesson on isotretinoin to students present.
*Students took out notebook*
"This drug is make up of vit A, cannot be used wif ABC (another drug), dosage of the drug is calculated base on the patient weight, relapse is low...."
Relapse is low, but it occurs to me. *saddest*

Very pro, all the info inside his brain, like computer like that.
But I was feeling like WTH, like frankenstein.
No wonder there's a notice on the pamphlet informing you that NSC is a training center for students, if u are uncomfortable with the students ard, u can tell the doc.
Haiz, for the sake of education, endure!

Finally, I signed the agreement form for absolute personal use of the drug, and understanding the side effects of it. But b4 I could take the medicine, I need to do a blood test after fasting for 8h. Meaning, I need to come again to do a blood test(tmr). Wait for results to come out, then going back finally to collect medicine.

This will basically be the cycle for the next 1yr over the duration of the course.

(If u are interested in the drug, isotretinoin, Doc JJ, 久病成医, can gif u some info)
It works by shrinking the sebaceous glands, reducing the amount of oil found on the skin.
It generally causes peeling of skin, lips cracking, dryness in eye.
It increases cholesterol levels and do something do liver enzymes (hence the blood test).
If you are pregnant or may get pregnant, isotretinoin can cause birth defects, miscarriage, premature births, and death in babies.
Patient are forbidded to donate blood within 1 month of last dosage, due to the reason above.
Rare: patients taking isotretinoin may experience side effects including bad headaches, blurred vision, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, seizures, stroke, diarrhea, and muscle weakness. Additionally, serious mental health problems, such as depression and suicide, have been reported with isotretinoin use.
Lets hope I dun encounter problems in the last section.
It truly is a dangerous drug. (Polyclinic cant issue this)
And also damaging on the wallet. (I spend 1k on my previous course of 1yr)

Well then, I will be gifing my blood to the syringe and the test tube tmr. Hope I dun faint.
(That's a story for the next time).
