Booster shot

-

Booster shot campaign did materialise but not for the reason I posited. It was the emergence of Omicron that precipitated this decision.

The recommended schedule was 6 months after the second dose of AZ but that was cut to half. I'm wary of yet another short cut but admittedly I don't envy the government's position. Fortunately for me, my appointment was exactly just one week earlier than recommended.

For AZ recepients, the recommended booster vaccine is either AZ itself or Pfizer. Thomson Hospital administered only Pfizer

Here were my observations from the time I was vacccinated until my recovery from its side effects:

1. 11/1, 2.55pm - 4.15pm: The whole vaccination process took this long.

2. 11/1, 7.25pm: Was already sleepy but I didn't want to sleep so early. Much later, in the middle of my sleep, the jabbed area on my arm flared up in pain but fortunately I could fall back to sleep.

3. 12/1, 9.35am: No fever even though I felt warm. Moderate rhinitis. Didn't have restful sleep the night before.

4. 12/1, 12.45pm: Felt warm inside but cold on the outside. Still no fever. Jabbed area was painful.

5. 12/1, 1.35pm - 3.15pm: Took one tab of paracetamol for the sinus headache before nap. Temperature normalised i.e. no longer felt warm inside and not cold on the outside. However, there was increased in heartbeat rate that luckily normalised shortly after nap. Probably due to lack of sleep. Jabbed area was painful whenver arm was raised to should level. Thristy almost all the time.

6. 12/1, 9.40pm: Slight fever at 37.1 degree. Took 2 tabs of paracetamol.

7. 13/1, 11.50am: Jabbed area less painful

Pretty much recovered shortly after that.

As for Ban, he was given AZ and his only side effect was lethargy for half a day two days later.

Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark - character build (Part 1)

-
Here are the character builds for my current run (with the help of Ban): Kyrie Fellblade/Marked Counter: Slow Secondary passives: Execute, Life Font Fellblade itself is a good class because of the various conditions it can inflict and most importantly they can inflict Sleep. Iirc, the only other human class that can do this is Gadgeteer. Their passive Malice increases the chance of landing it by 10%. Fellblade pairs well with Marked because both use ATK and MND in their offensive abilities. Also, Fellblade's abilities are mostly short range whereas Marked has some long range abilities. Execute for more damage. Life Font is for suvivability. Ban opined that with two healers, there's no need for Life Font but I discover that it enables Kyrie to survive just enough for a healer to heal her up, after having received massive damage. Ban advocated for Marked/Fellblade for superior Speed (1.00 vs 0.92) and defense (heavy armor). I resisted this for a long time because I

Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark - character build (Part 2)

-
(continue from Part 1 ) Yates Anatomist/Wizard Counter: Cripple Secondary passives: Blessed One, Smart Casting Anatomist is the best healer in game due to the passive Legendary Healer, which also then boost the amount of self-healing by Blessed One. Although Ban thinks Anatomist's Dark spells are sufficient in dealing damage and so he suggests Alchemyst as Yate's secondary class, I choose Wizard for the following reasons: Quite often, demonic creatures have Dark immunity and other creatures have immunity to other elements. So having Dark, Water, Fire, Earth and Thunder spells enable Yates to cast the most suitable spell, especially when the enemies are vulnerable to certain elements. Flexible casting :) Smart Casting is useful so that I don't need to worry much about the positioning of the enemies relative to my other characters when using Mass Healing and the area effect damage spells. As stated in previous post , there "are so many devastating Skill ba

Sudden lower body pain

-
About two weeks ago, my mum developed pain in her pelvic bone, much more on the right side, and squeezing pain in her legs, with occassional spike in pain. She was managing it with paracetamols, 2 tabs three times daily.  Since we didn't know any particular orthopedist in private hospitals (it was only recently that I remember Dr Prashant ), I targeted one at KPJ Penang Specialist Hospital since it's in mainland Penang (instead of on the island). I made appointment for my mum with Dr Joehaimey since he has the earliest suitable date. The moment she walked through his door, he immediately asked her whether the pain from her right side. We were both quite impressed. He was in turn impressed with mum's prepared list of medication that she presented to him on a piece of paper. The key information seems to be the surgery she had back in 2011 to insert titanium plate and screws in her lower spine. He guessed that there's accumalated wear and tear due to aging. So to confirm i
