Here's My Story

Recently, I fell ill: lethargic and mild fever. Took paracetamol but still the mild fever came back repeatedly. Then I had a thought: I noticed that there was burning sensation in my perineum when I peed and I seems to want to urinate more frequently. Could it be UTI and could fever be a symptom? Apparently yes. Consulted doctor the next morning. She wanted to order a urine test but given that the only symptom left was the gradually-improving burning sensation, she prescribed 3 sachets of urinal alkalinizer. Unfortunately, fever returned later in the afternoon :( Hence I consulted the doctor again the next day. Since it was quite obvious I had UTI, doctor prescribed antibiotic and more alkalinizer despite ordering a urine test. I myself would have asked for antibiotic if she hadn't suggested it first. I continued to have fever for two days while the burning sensation continued to fade but I had to purchase two more sachets of alkalinizer from a pharmacy. Once the urine test was out...

I used to buy drinks from Chagee once a week, utilising the member's Wednesday 15% discount voucher. Then Beutea came along with permanent discount on a number of drinks for members and the discount far exceeds 15%. These two have many similar drinks and their quality seems similar to me. Hence, it was a no-brainer that I abandoned the former for the latter whenever I wanted quality tea drink. The smell is heavenly! On the oher hand, I also indulge in cheap Mixue drinks. My favourite are Iced Latte (no sugar and only during the day) and Pearl Milk Tea (no sugar but their pearls are a little sweet). Currently, they also have Taro Milk Tea , which I also like (with no sugar as the taro itself is a little sweet already). One night, I went to Ban to get Mixue drinks. He almost always does this on the day he worked out at gym for over an hour. However, they ran out of the drink that I wanted. There was no Beutea nearby but there was a Chagee. Well, I just checked the app and was pleasan...

The cholesterol results as compared to 3 months ago :   Significant improvement! Total cholesterol and LDL are now below the personalised benchmarks. "What did you do differently?," my sister asked. None that can explain it. In fact, cholesterol should go up due to (1) and (2): (1)  Exercise regime not much different during the 3-month period. In fact, few days before test, I hardly exercise because of UTI. (2) Diet: no difference. Lack of HDL the week before test because didn't prepare salmon don (I do this once a week) due to illness. (3) Fast nearly 11 hours before test. I will try to repeat (3) for the next test as an experiment. 

I finished one playthrough recently, including its 3 DLC (Descent, Jaws of Hakkon and Tresspasser). One good thing it has over the previous two (DA:O and DA2) is that it doesn't need any mod to make it playable. Then again, the reason why the first two needed so many mods, afaik, is that they haven't been updated to be compatible to current hardware and software. Sadly, that's the only good thing about DAI, It has a litany of problems: (1) Way too long. I spent over 160 hours, not counting the numerous side quests that I skipped. There might be games that I played longer (Baldur's Gate 3, I think) but DAI's side quests are boring. They are like your typical MMORPG quests but that's not what I expect when playing DAI. Also, story-wise, it doesn't make sense that the leader of an army does these micro-level quests. (2) Combat tactic instructions are non-existence. I'm so puzzled why they progressively rolled back this unique game mechanic. That's what ...

This was at Bagan Specialist Centre. According to a nurse, this was put up because a patient had an accident while using these stairs. Hmmm why target these stairs? Patient can have accident anywhere. There were hospitals that encouraged usage of stairs e.g. Penang General Hospital and SJMC .
