The story published on the newspaper today is quite shocking… shocking as if Malaysia is in deep poverty crisis… the kids admitted… “It tasted like chocolate, that was why I ate them..”

That is really a revelation… if you know what these 4 kids have been eating, you will ask… is the country runs out of food?… what is going on??…

The four kids age between 6 to 10 were admitted to hospitals at the northern part of the country… Sultan Abdul Halim Hospital… after consuming what most probably think was a natural diet supplements… these kids have been eating stones collected from the compound of their house is Kampung Pandang  Lembu, Kedah!!!

One of the kid admitted she has been eating stones since last year…coz  it was very crunchy and tasted like chocolate!!! Then she introduced the ‘chocolate’ to the other kids… and from there, they have been collecting and eating the stones secretly.

Is the family in deep poverty… I don’t think so… she said… “My father had caught me eating the stones a few months back and punished me but I was soon back to the habit,” she said.

The parents said… “I had warned them numerous times about it but they denied doing it. Ganggadevi and Nageswari were admitted to the hospital for the same problem last June and in January this year.”…. “My husband may earn a small salary working as a labourer but we are never out of food. I am unable to visit my daughters and niece as I have two other daughters and a son to take care of at home,” she said.

Some people are dying to bring down their weight… when I do my exercise, I don’t really care about burning calories or bringing down my weight… it’s not really important to me… I just want to build my stamina… I’m more concern with my stamina… If you have good stamina, your size doesn’t matter…fat or thin. But of course overweight or over fat is not good. If you are fat a little bit or overweight a little bit, but able to walk 5km without problem, that’s great!!!

There are some people crazy about dieting… for me dieting is only for health… not to reduce weight. Food and eating is an obligation to me When you don’t have enough food, you will get sick And some goes to use pills to reduce weight… that is more damaging in my opinion. You can check the lipozene forum for example.

Diet pills are over commercialized…  if you are not careful, it can bring more damage to your body and health than good. So, if you are into weight loss, do your research on the pills you going to take first… it could be poison to you but not to others

One thing that I don’t like when I have to take medicine is the side effect… I don’t really have major problem taking medicine… medicine is for cure… cure for my back pain… it just that I just don’t like taking drugs… and sometimes medicine which is new to me causes acne popping on my body… especially my back… it’s usually a big one… just like volcano when it ripe… ready to spew its larva…. So far, I have not found any best back acne treatment… so I just let it grow… then when it ripe, I just press out the pus…

And volcano type acne is very painful… especially when it grows inside your nose… or under your skin without ‘eyes’… without hole… for the pus to come out…

Although with the three type of medicines and a massage, my back pain did not subside… I almost fainted on the second night… last Saturday… the pain was so severe… till my whole body soaked with my cold sweat… yea, it was cold sweat… if you know what cold sweat is… then you can imagine how bad was I that night. But luckily, the severe pain pass-by after like 10 minutes… and I manage to get a sleep after that.

I did not take any leave this week… but did take emergency leave on Friday… although I’m still in pain. I shared my experience with my colleagues… and one of them suggested to use the electronic acupuncture… and loan me his the next day, Tuesday. So on Tuesday, I tried the device before lunch time… after using it for 15 minutes… I was able to walk straight!!! It was miracle!!!… I even manage to go to the gym on Wednesday!!!… previously… in the last 2 incident, it took me about 2 weeks before I can walk straight. The electronic acupuncture really suits me… I bet some might also benefit from this little device and instead of buying flowers for mother’s day, why not buy this little wonders, the Nicomizu NOM-699 Digital Acu-Pro, for Mother’s Day?…

I actually bought the Nicomizu NOM-699 Digital Acu-Pro for my back pain… and another colleague also bought one after she heard my experience…

Last Friday, my old problem came back… old back pain. It came in split second… I was just sitting relaxing in the early morning… when I tried to stand up, I felt a sharp pain on my back… I immediately knew the old problem came back.

I had experienced back pain twice before… and it takes one or two weeks to heal… dang… this time it gonna cost me a paintball championship… the International Super Seven Championship 2010 on 22-23 May 2010… it worries me so much till pimples are popping out… I think I’m gonna need a blackhead remover at the same time…

Because it was so painful, i went for massage… it helps a little bit… but the next day, I think the pain of the massage was making my whole body painful… so on Saturday I went to see doctor… had an x-ray… and emm…. looks like it’s not a simple problem… since it has been going on for sometimes, there are some problem on the bones… and it cost me 300++ and still need about 750++ if I go for MRI… and another 20K++ if have to do operation… dang… health insurance is very important in this case…

I hope I will recover completely soon… and hope this problem never come back again… have to take care my weight and back…

Being exposed to the hot sun too for long added with the thick haze nowadays is not only bad to the lung but to the skin too.

Being at the horse race track with all the dust flying around under the hot sun then dashing to take photos of the firemen putting out fire near the race horse track actually exposing my lung to all kinds of bad elements… horse germs, dust, smoke… everything goes into my lung… and deep into my skin… probably the reasons I’m having the itchy palms and soles!!!

And at the end of the day, my skin face become too oily… too shiny… too reflective… cleaning my face by scrubbing it with normal soap alone don’t really help… after rinsing the, the skin still oily and looks black… I have to use Oxy as blackhead removal then only the black face turn a bit fairer…

Well, I have to get used to these if I want to continue with this hobby and turn myself into an extreme adventure photographer…

Do you know that scratching you body parts too much will cause wrinkles on you face?… Yea it sound funny, but that is what I think will happen… coz when you do scratching, your face will tighten… coz you are enjoying the nice feeling of scratching…

Scratch … scratch… scratch… like no more tomorrow… and your face looks so ugly when you are scratching like mad man…

I guess I’m getting all kind of wrinkle on my body nowadays… wrinkle on my face… wrinkle on my palms… wrinkle on my soles… wrinkles everywhere… Maybe it is time for me to get and anti wrinkle serum jab… especially on my itchy palms and soles… When are these itchy… itchy… itchy… on my palms and soles goes away?…

Gosh… this itchy is really killing man… woke up so early in the morning… 4.30 am… is this an early morning allergy?… morning cold allergy?…

The more I scratch, the more it gets itchy… I just can’t stop scratching… the moment I start scratching, it become the center of pleasure… it so hard to stop scratching after that coz it feels so good till I feel like going to pee on my pants!!! Damm…

I really need something to stop all these itchy spots on my palms and soles.. probably something like the hemorrhoids relief cream… I really need something strong… something hot… well whatever strong… strong drugs… strong medicine… strong cream…strong oil… or whatever to make this go away… or if I can’t find anything to stop this, I might just soak my hands and foots into hot water…

I got my medical test result today, Thursday, 18 March… but somehow it is not the result I expected or wanted.

The itchiness on my palms and soles are still giving me a hard time… so the blood and urine test results is very important to find out the reason. My appointment with Damai Specialist Hospital (DSH) was 3.30 pm… and I reach there just on time. Was about to register myself at the Counter 2 on 1st floor of DSH… but the nurse who just came out from the doctor’s room saw me and immediately ask me to go inside… and I saw a file on top of the doctor’s table with my name on it

Doctor ask me to take my weight… went to the scale and it shows 90kg did  I lost 5kg?… coz the last time I took my weight, it was like 95kg… or could it be caused by the gym visits?…

Anyway, the doctor went through my medical test result… emm… nice… nothing wrong with my kidney, no cancer, no hepatitis… no AIDS… no nothing…not even eczema or dermatitis… except for other stuffs which are not related to the itchiness…

I ask the doctor what is wrong then… he said, it could be just an allergy… then I told him it can be very itchy in the early morning… and guess what he told me to do… he ask me to wear glove!!!

So, I went back with a batch more pills… for a week supply… without knowing what exactly wrong with my palms and soles… we’ll see how it goes after one week…

Tomorrow I’m going back to Damai Specialist Hospital for my review. Last Saturday I went there for the bad itch on my palms and soles and they took urine and blood samples from me.

I do not really sure what to expect for tomorrow review… I just hope they found the cause of the itchiness… I hope they did a thorough test on my blood and urine…

For the past few days, the itchiness has gone down… but not all, I still get the itchiness especially early in the morning and from time to time throughout the day.

I also realize that I did experience this before… but I told the doctor this is the first time I’m experiencing it… because the previous experiences was mild… and I was a bit ‘panic’ because of the severity of the itchiness at that time… I thought it was not the same… but now, when the itchiness getting lesser, it does feel like the previous experiences.

But, since they are checking my blood, I just hope they find the cause of it and give me the right medication to get rid of this once and for all.

If it an allergy, then they need to give me the rapid detox prescriptions… I’m not a drug abuser but I guess detoxification process will be able to cleanse the chemicals inside my blood which are causing the severe itchy on both my palms and soles… cross my finger…
