it's raining outside.. and it's freaking cold inside here.. this seems to happen everywhere these days.. the air-conditioning everywhere seems to be free.. at work, in school.. even my jacket seem to offer no comfort anymore lah~ freaky weather.. it's been raining day in day out... and i realised i have become less tolerant of the cold.. sigh. weakness.

and i realised i really cannot donate blood due to this particular blood disorder that i have.. heh i was bored so i went to wiki for it.. and this is the results of it...

"

Any given individual has two β globin alleles.
If only one β globin allele bears a mutation, the disease is called β thalassemia minor (or sometimes called β thalassemia trait). This is a mild microcytic
anemia. In most cases β thalassemia minor is asymptomatic, and many affected people are unaware of the disorder. Detection usually involves measuring the mean corpuscular volume (size of red blood cells) and noticing a slightly decreased mean volume than normal.



Thalassemia Minor
Contrary to popular belief, Thalassemia Minor patients should not avoid iron-rich foods by default. A serum
ferritin test can determine what their iron levels are and guide them to further treatment if necessary. Thalassemia Minor, although not life threatening on its own, can affect quality of life due to the effects of a mild to moderate anemia. Studies have shown that thalassemia Minor often coexists with other diseases such as asthma, and mood disorders

haha.. it also explains why i easily feel faint when i stand up suddenly... not enough blood going to the brain i guess.. haa..it's fortunately i am usually not alone when it happens...
just had lunch...
your sudden disappearance frightens me...

have been reading a blog of someone i randomly found in my fren's blog..like i said, it's always interesting to find out what's happening in other's life, as well as learn from other people's point of views.. its learning too... i realised too, that i dont have friends whom have stuck together with me for a long time.. the only people i am really in contact with are my jc frens, and a rare number of secondary school friends.. missing out on alot of details in others life.. but yup i know it will happen one day... just want to let alot of ppl know that.. i may not show it, but i really have u all in my heart..-hugs-

maybe i dont want to go join the comm anymore..
i want to do something more meaningful.. not saying that club wk not meaningful, but i want to try something different=D
