So yesterday, after a jolly good chat with the Sinotarium doctor, she decided that i will most probably be fine, and i'm good to wait till i get back to malaysia till i see a doctor.
Well, i was convince until i had a the matron chucking me into a cab driving me to a bloody f*cked up public hospital under the NHS in Peterborough.
Now anyone of you who does econs and studies the UK economy would now how much cash the government spends on "National Health Service". Well, let's look at it on the bright side, Free medical consultation. But yeah, u know when i got there, i honestly thought it was sh*ttier than any other public hospital in KL. okay, maybe just one, SJMC. because i've only been to like uh... one hospital my entire life. (i think) Anyway, as i was saying, its so crappy and there waslike these 2 old couple waiting since 2pm when i got there (it was after dinner, around 8pm)
I was like, oh, bugger that, does that mean i'll have to wait till 2am?
The answer is, yes really, 1 hour for the nurse to come and do a blood pressure, take temperature, and register you in. Yay, what a shot i am regiesterd! 2 hours for the JUNIOR doctor, and not to be racist or what, i got a freaking benggali idiot. He asked the same question (when was your last blood test) about 10 times, and funny to say, the dates and results are in my FREAKIN FOLDER. he had to write up a report on me, to refer me to a senior doctor (which is not even a specialist). he didnt even bother to check up on the internet haha. and dare ask me, did u try to put any lotion/cream on it and did it get better?
Knock.knock. DUDE, I AM F*CKING INTERNAL BLEEDING. u say CREAM MIGHT HELP? GO BACK AND F*CKING CHECK YOUR BLOODY TEXT BOOK CAN ANOT?
and not to mention, when he was like using the stertoscope (cant spell) to listen to my heart, he actually placed it like, on my boobs. !"£7£*94&( wtf man, i was THIS close to slapping him.
half an hour later, he said he needed another blood test. U know what bugger, i am NEVER letting HIM come near me with a needle. I trust the School doctor's ALOT more than him. He just looked as if he is going to screw up and hit the wrong veins or something.
So yay. another 3 hours waiting for the senior doctor.
Had a 5 mins chat with him, and was "discharged against doctor's advice"
Really, what did you want me to do? spend the night and wait till tomorrow afternoon when the specialist doctor comes in and check wether i have this other platlet problem (which i've already had a blood test for 2 days ago and the results were normal) and quoting the senior doctor
"is highly unlikely but i cannot guarantee. My advice is you wait for a night under observation (in this crappy hospital?) and we -might- be able to send in a specialist to carry out tests tomorrow to ensure you're fit to go on a flight."
Answer is, no. I just couldnt be hospitalized in such conditions, and no, i am not coming back tomorrow to go through the WHOLE procedure waiting for another i dont know 6 hours?
My options are :
- private doctor £60 = rm420
- Just get up the bloody flight and hope my blood vessels dont explode. (fingers crossed)

Purpuric Rash
Purpura is used to describe cutaneous extravasations of blood. (leakage of blood under the skin) Petechiae are the smallest, pin-point extravasations which are round in shape and do not blanch on pressure. Usually found on lower extremities where hydrostatic pressure is highest. With perifollicular distribution occurring in severe vitamin C deficiency.
u know what? i think boot's bluff people wan. i swear i've been taking (probably overdosing) their oranged flavoured chewable vitamin C's like water. seriously, it tastes better than skittles or tic-tac.
um, hello??? i need english.
Purpura
Definition:
Purpura is purplish discolorations in the skin produced by small bleeding vessels near the surface of the skin.
Considerations:
Purpura by itself is only a sign of other underlying causes of bleeding.
When purpura spots are very small, they are called petechiae . Large purpura are called ecchymoses.
Purpura may occur with either normal platelet counts (nonthrombocytopenic purpuras) *blood tests says i'm normal* or decreased platelet counts (thrombocytopenic purpuras). Platelets help maintain the integrity of the capillary lining and are important in the clotting process.
Common Causes:
Conditions that cause purpura are grouped into 2 categories: nonthrombocytopenic and thrombocytopenic. Some common purpuras include:
NONTHROMBOCYTOPENIC PURPURAS
Pressure changes associated with vaginal delivery of an infant no i am not pregnant
Vasculitis such as Henoch-Schonlein purpura (anaphylactoid purpura) cluless
Congenital cytomegalovirus i need english
Congenital rubella syndrome (changes in the baby that can occur when a pregnant woman has rubella) no i am not pregnant
Drug-induced platelet dysfunction (some drugs can affect the action of platelets) my platelets are normal
Senile purpura (the blood vessels become more fragile as a person ages) give me a break lah, i'm not exactly 100years old.
there we go. what i was waiting to see-
Epidemiology Incidence: Common
it is common. so it means : i wont die- good news :)

guys i'm so sorry for not blogging or replying any of your mails lately, my week has been absolutely jam packed.
First off, i had a MOCK physics exam (because ms swift hated me so much she decided to e-mail us like, one day before to tell us there is an exam the day after. pfft. which i pretty much slapped her in the face back because apparently she dreamt of me because i did so well in it. - so far that she's marked, 100%)
I had showcase science on Thursday, which was this really huge thing happening every year, and our school was host. The lectures were pretty alright in the morning session. and in the aft i was just dozing off. Oh and i had to help with the chemistry poster on MRI scan that our group presented. It turned out pretty impressive, but there were SO MANY much more impressive school posters.
3rdly, I'm in the badminton school team now. bugger that. haha. just because i like, played 3 matches and? lost them all =.= but yeah, i just got back from getting my arse kicked by the uppingham players =(
4th, My blood vessels are bursting. Not kidding. I had like red spots on my arms and legs that i thought it was rashes, but however, after getting told off and forced to see the doctor. apparently, my blood is leaking. And she needed to do a blood test *nervous laugh* 3 bottles. very funny, doctor. And apparently something went wrong, so i have another blood test on Monday. Just great, putting me on dreading suspense.
5th, i had like 2 stupid long extra lectures in this one week. One was pretty interesting, about this person smuggling drugs out the Thai border (you prob heard about it) but yeah, this woman came and talk to us about her fantastic asian holiday going wrong.
6th, which is really not a reason but an excuse, i've been *cough* hanging out with a certain person alot, when i'm off commitments, which leaves me with really,
No time at all.
Guitar Madness is tomorrow, Badminton team dinner (haha, YES I AM INVITED) is next sat, and reeler's ball is next sunday!
Oh did i mention scottish reeling also freakin took up most of my free time!
I'd be coming back in 2 weeks! Yay.Labels: Daily Logs and happenings, Ranting

Day 7 - 15/02/07 Roses and Chocolates.
Valentines has always been a lousy day. It's just one of those over-commercialised holidays where boyfriends, husbands and what not are put in extreme spend or die situations. Flowers, gifts, stuffed animals, chocolates, blahblahblah. It's just stupid how people can just make up a random date and decide that we must show our partners how deeply in love we are, put little effort in and you get dumped. hahaha- loser.
I was quite excited in the morning, not knowing who I was set up with for tonight's group dinner date. However, I sort of guessed who was i going out with when they told me it'll be someone i know - i hardly knew anyone. and since I knew who eve, elena, and rosie's date are. I roughly had and idea who i'd got. I'd prefer to say that i was more excited about going to Berkeley and a chocolate factory today, but sadly, i've turned into one of those stereotypes that go "YAY! it's VALENTINES!"
My mood decided to do a 180 degree turn just about 2 hours after i got up. When everyone headed to Starbucks and i didnt feel like getting changed so early just yet (We had to meet at 12pm at the market place, which was ages away.) I took my own sweet time and hit the showers, picking my outfits, and blahblah blah all that girls do in the morning. Then i called the boys downstairs to check if they would wait a couple of mins for me, and Cai picked up the phone. He said "see you in 5 mins".
5 mins i went down to their room, it was empty. I was cursing under my breath at this point, went upstairs to check if they came to my room to get me, no sign. This was exactly the time where my PMS hit in, and i just stomped to the bus stop. - Okay, i have no idea where to get off the bus, where to get on the tube after that, which way to go (which is quite obvious, there was only one line i can take with my bus that goes downtown or outbound. I was stupid at the time so...) And then i bumped into the boys. At the bus stop. So they couldnt wait a 5 minutes, like it make a difference cuz the bus isnt even here yet?
I made up a bigshow because i was grumpy, and i ignored them. Funnily, jiramate & Tim were all cheery and went "Hey Lin!"
"Thanks for waiting for me, DUDES."
"what?"
Apparently, Cai didnt tell them i'd be going with them. double yay.
Well skipping all the rubbish, i had a nice time shopping, spending loads and loads on my thundering bad stormy mood, until i decided to get a Pork burger in burger king (we never get those in Malaysia). And there were the bunch of them, sitting there happily chatting away.
Jiramate came up and tried to talk to me, because he was always the smooth talker, and i was on the verge of breaking down like a stupid bimbo. I had all sorts of things in my head - personal, personal, personal. and i was just being so upset about everything which all says "Fk Valentines" all over my face.
Really, it was so obvious, until Jiramate started going "C'mon... it's valentines day. you should be happy... are you not excited that you're going for dinner tonight? Actually, screw it, just come with us..." -yeah yeah, look who's talking you couldnt even wait for me for 5 minutes.
Anyway, a few roses and apologies sealed the deal, and we made peace. phew for them. (girls will always be girls)
Market place at 12noon. Mr. Couzens told me that i was "Uncharacteristically" queit. And i honestly dont know why, i just drowned myself with selfpity and sorrow :(
But then again, arriving at Berkeley's, the uni students managed to put me in for a few gags. pretty good ones. Like tossing condoms around and having Laura and Lauren pick them up like hungry sex maniacs.
Look at how happy she is!
Seeing Berkeley's was also just about when I've decided that i REALLY wanted to go to an American University. Everything is just so chilled out and casual. and the place is really gorgeous, seeing how much money the government throws in for higher education. They had a library that goes underground 4 stories, and had like the largest collection of books i've ever seen, and not only they had ONE library, but 25.
i've been to imperial college, apparently - top 5 in the UK. but the facilities, doesnt beat the American U's. i've also learned more about the courses and things like that, which is really impressive, because even if you switch courses, you can take the credit along with you as a minor, which is just what i need because i really am a lost little swan at the moment. Ugly duckling would describe better tho (Yes, jit i know i am fat. :( boo.)
They had really amazing buildings around, fantastic architecture, all around campus.
There was also a tower clock in the middle of the campus where u can go up and view the best view of San frans and the golden gater bridge (note to self:Mark, Uni of Cal, apply definitely.)
They also had buildings for every single departments, whatever course you take from Anthropology to
Zoology.
But before thinking of applying anywhere else, i need to get rid of the way i say tHree.
Some random cloth on the floor when a bunch of people were going like "tree tree tree" because that's how we malaysians say it. "Tree Tirtee" (3.30)
whats Valentines without chocolate? (stereotyped inner voice speaking here)
The chocolate factory wasnt THAT amazing, besides having free chocs and learning how to taste them (like hello, expert here need you to teach meh?) But no willie wonka. :( they should really get a willie mascot or something at choc factories, can attract more tourists! so that they can um expand their PPF curve and gain more profits in the long run (economist inner voice speaking)
The funniest part was actually just Mr. Clark having to wear a beard mask as well as the hair thing that they gave us.
others,
boring
boring
boring.
boring!(I was so tempted to steal some of those!)
Except for the buying chocolate part, i got my date a chocolate monkey.
4 Girls in a room, getting ready for dates? whaddaya think? - Chaos.
Clothes strewn everywhere - can i borrow your eyeliner, can i borrow your top, your scarve? After a while, everyone just couldnt be bothered to ask!
There were 12 couples, which makes - 24 of us.
I have insufficient badnwidth :( so do you!
Rosie & Lawson
Jimmy & Lauren
Bryan & Eve (Bryan got eve funky shoelaces! how cute is that?? and 2 pairs because he knows eve LOVES mismatching them!)
Thomas & Lin (horrible pic :()
Hussain and Kate - SO CUTE!
Creasy & Amilla. Dont ask about the Thong, apparently its his valentine's gift!
Stuart and Georgina
Behold my fav couple! elena and Tobs.
We tried to get everyone into the italian restaurant, but the manager didnt allow us to do so. so 10 of us got in and 12 of them went to another one across the street.
the food was amazing.
Look li en! i took picture of the food!
and the chef decided to spike my pasta as well,trying to get me pissed with vodka! haha but it just made it taste even more fantastic!
So was the company.
I suppose valentine's isn't all that bad when you're with the right people. Ironically, although these are people that i've just met, i think i've had the best valentine in years :)
Thank you guys (altho you will NEVER read this - no i havent gave anybody in England my blog add yet)
that's a REALLY bad pic of my roses.
but i had a great timeLabels: Daily Logs and happenings, Travel

I bloody cannot understand why i stupidly get myself into more sh*t workload than i already have. Advanced (freakin) Extension Award, like further maths isn't enough! Yih Lin, i know you really LOVE doing math, but there's a LIMIT you freak! you can't just skip one whole quarter of lessons, and then do what most (and still, a very little amount) double math student do in Upper 6th in bloody lower 6th. you are sick, yihlin. just because some random hot teacher tells you "advices you" to go for it because he thinks you MIGHT be capable of NOT getting an Unclassified(fail) grade, you can just make the world go the other way round and sign up for a Score or DIE - literally Die because if you fail this sh*t you'll look so bloody useless in your UCAS application and therefore no university would want to accept you - situation.
And i feel so bad for keeping him on some SERIOUS over time duty. like um... 3 HOURS.
weh, i am so dead lah, what am i thinking?????????? I cuppa latte and you go all hyper putting yourself into extra 1.5hours of hell maths vols every thursday! Like the triple math period you have on Monday isn't enough PAIN?
I'm talking to myself. First sign of madness. Stay away. 10 days from SPM results, about. to. explode. I want to get in Yale Yale Yale. Screw Oxbridge, i want to get in Yale. I NEED my grades. I NEED to (just at least pls for goodnessake, PASS that insane AEA paper)Labels: Randoms, Ranting
