For the Uninitiated and Uninformed.

I'm not in the best of health, but i've got plenty to ramble about. A quick update on the chronicles of adiboo.I've finally sought a specialist for my skin problem. Positive results after 1 week. I've got a job. I hate it. I went for all home games of the AFC. The Thais are sore losers. Currently seeking the meaning and purpose of his life.

I asked for a referral to the National Skin Center from a Poly and got it. It was quite alright, just that the sensation of being gawked at by a group of doctors is a bit intimidating and embarassing when i'm half naked with my shoes on. Ooh, a live guinea pig! Diagnosed with moderately severe atopic dermatitis(eczema) which they claim is a typical case and quite extensive. Prescribed with some steroid cream(no, not that blood boosting, performance enhancing and muscle massing one such as anabolics and nandrolone) which helps to heal the wounds faster by forcing the skin to reproduce at a quicker rate but in turn, may cause permanent thinning and discolouration of the epidermis. After that, i got to slather a layer of white soft paraffin in liquid paraffin over the dry areas as a moisturiser. Feels like an oil bath. But its a nice feeling just that its well, oily. Due for a review in 2 weeks.

And yes, my search for a job has come to an end. I am currently a sales assistant at 7-11 Paragon or Ngee Ann City. That too, came after i called them back after i was 'assured' of a call. Well honestly, i don't enjoy cleaning softee, gulp and slurpee machines, stock up those cigs and alcohols and tend to unreasonable customers. But there is a teeny weeny bit of job satisfaction when the customers appreciate your service(mostly the young female variety). I get along well with the shift leaders. Actually nothing to complain about. Yet, in my first week, i was late twice(due to watching the AFC games at Kallang) and taken leave once(due to illness). Now i comtemplating quitting already, cause well i don't enjoy the job and i don't see the purpose of me doing this.

Having said that, maybe i should have taken the camp instructor job after all. From what i see, my colleagues they have a motivation to work, whether its for the pay as they have mouths to feed or require it for future education or businesses. For myself, i don't see how i fit in. Call me fickle call me picky. But a job has got to have satisfaction and challenges, or else it gets dull and mundane. Thats what it lacks, rather devoid of. Call it easy money, but i don't need it now. A bit for my personal expenses. Enough.

Still being in unemployment mode before this week, i was able to catch all the AFC matches live at Kallang Stadium and it was terrific. Campione Singapur! Perhaps one of the surprises of this tournament is Mohd Ridhuan and Noh Rahman, one a promising prospect and one in the prime of his career. Ridhuan has taken our breathes with his lung bursting runs and Rahman with his assuring defence even though both have not been prominently featured in the starting 11. They have to start to rely less on Lionel, as he too can be quite flappable. Someone needs to challenge Bennett on left back. And sorry Aide, time to relinquish your armband. We had great times and thanks for everything but your antics are getting more unacceptable. Even though i hate to admit this, they lions were lucky to have lifted the trophy at the end, as it could have ended prematurely even before they set foot in Thailand. And speaking of Thais, my, i have a personal message to the players: You guys are really sore losers. Period. No amount of substantiations, explanations and television replays can ever vouch for your unsportsmanlike behaviour.

Right now i'm having an uncontrollable urge to retch. I feel like shoving my fingers down my throat a la Haywire in Prison Break. This is reason number two why i want to stop working there as i always seem to fall sick when i work shifts. I was hit with a very bad flu and fever on my third day working. The long sleeves i wear to work didn't help and i developed a sore throat, cough and excessive pleghm the next day. This next part is X-rated so proceed with caution. For the last few days i felt extremely thirsty and constantly had dry lips, no matter how much water i gulp(pardon the pun) down. Oddly, i peed very little. And today when i had some bowel movement, it all came out. I was practically shitting water. Perhaps that the way my body is flushing out the germs. Hope its nothing too serious.

Word's out that 'A' levels results coming out on the 14th. And from Ahmad, not really the most reliable of sources and i'm not inclined to believe him. But nevertheless its good to be prepared. Damage control. Into the hands of fate.

Later.
