Dont poke me please
Monday, August 31, 2009
Stayed up last night for a movie marathon :) Caught with some old films. Ok, not that old actually. Started with Iron Man then Taken and 300Taken and 300 were superb man. Til now, all the fighting scenes are stuck in my head. 300's fighting scenes and dam cool plz. Alrites, had my jab for YEP trip today. Filled in tons of paperwork for an hour. Had a chance to bond with the older guys :) Heh, we had a health talk about how to keep safe and prevent any illnesses. Typhoid and Hepatitis A, passable by food and water. Do not take any ice. Ice is from tap water. Dam... cold water no?Oh oh how about Traveler's Diarrhea.Head Doctor: Oh if you have to go to the toilet 10 times a day, or if the diarrhea last for more than 7 days, then its considered a severe case Here's another one...Header Doctor: You can go to a hospital for medication there or wait till you come back. ERM, ISN'T DIARRHEA WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT? DIDN'T YOU JUST MENTIONED 10 TIMES A DAY? AND WAT? WE'RE LIKE GONNA BE THERE FOR 2 WEEKS. WAIT TIL WE COME BACK?Yea, my second favourite. Rabies. Here's a questionnaire for you.
Rabiphobia
Instructions: This is a test on how much you really are afraid of rabies. Look at the following statements. If you ever a tinge of "Oh shit, rabies is gonna kill the world", you lose. If you don't, move on to the next statement ;)
--- Stay away from all animals you see. Dogs, cats, chickens and bats included. ---
Does that scare you?
--- We all know rabies is easily transmittable by animal bites and the place we're going is pretty rural ---
Terrified of animals now?
--- Dogs might sometimes attack you even when unprovoked. ---
Tell me you're shivering with fear
--- If you get rabies, you need to get the immunoglobulin within 7 days to be safe from it ---
7 days!! wat if you cant make it in 7 days?!?
CONGRATULATIONS FOR REACHING THIS FAR, YOU ARENT AFRAID OF ANYTHING ARE YOU? ARE YOU READY FOR THE FINAL QUESTION?
--- If you get rabies, you'll need to receive five injections for treatment, as well as another for immunoglobulin treatment. Oh plz, I'm not done yet. Each jab will cost you $160. EACH. Fantastic. Oh, and I forgot one more thing. The immunoglobulin, yes that word you're having problems reading out in your mind, will cost you $1-2-0-0.
Get one bite and that will be $2000 + a flight back home for hospitalization. Do visit us again! Kthxbai
Let's see, I'll end it off with malaria. OH Binh Dong is quite a malaria stricken place so its quite easy to get malaria. Head Doctor: Aedes are those carrying dengue while Anopheles are the ones with malaria, so they're the night shift workers. Hmm...Head Doctor: We'll be giving you doxycycline to prevent malaria. You'll have to take one before the trip, one daily throughout the trip, and one daily for 28 days after. Erm, that will be able forty pills in total You could just see everyone's face go "WTH?!"...
Oh, and she's wearing a mask but I can so bet you she has an evil smile underneath itHead Doctor: That because the malaria parasite can stay dormant in your body for up to one year, so this medication will cover you for the first month. One year? Just great.Ok in conclusion, this rural area of Vietnam poses plenty of points that can cause illnesses. Er, thanks for the talk. DUN YOU FEEL SO MUCH SAFER ALREADY?
Lol, it's been quite some time since I had uncontrollable laughing fits but yea, right after i had my injection (2 times ok...) 1 second later, I looked at my friend and burst out laughing. -> LMAO. I bet the nurse was O.o"
Nurse: roll up your sleeve
Me: ...
Nurse: Breathe in
Me: *inhales*
Nurse: *stabs needle in*
Me: *waits for the fluids to flow in but feels nothing*
Nurse: *takes needle out*
Me: Huh? so fast uh?
Nurse: Ya, we're done with the flu vaccine, next is the typhoid and it'll hurt a little more
Me: ...
Nurse: *stabs second needle in and squeeze yellow liquid in*
Me: Ow
Nurse: Alrights! Your nightmare's over, it's done
Me: *mumbles* what nightmare, I wasn't that scared ok
Me: *turns to look at fren* LMAO
Yea why I laughed was because throughout the whole waiting period, he kept on going abt wanting to be poked in the butt instead of the arms, and a lot more jokes abt it. Of cause he wasnt gonna do that but when the real thing came, he got a middle-aged male nurse and... yea, it's jus plain hilarious.
Random smiles
(Miss Fong was suggesting we share toiletries to reduce overall luggage weight)
Miss Fong: So maybe you people can break up into groups and check out with each other what you guys might be bringing and then like maybe one of you can bring a big bottle of shampoo and soap to share, or things like toothbrush...
Did she just said TOOTHBRUSH?!?!
Miss Fong: ...oh I meant toothpaste sorry
Together, we'll paint rainbows on the sky~

Philosophy:
I like to think about life, especially pursuing on the concept of love. Not that lovey dovey romantic kind, but the affections we have for one another
that ties us together,strangers, friends, besties, family, that's the love I wanna know about. Love is the essence of life that ties us together,
love is what we were made for and to be, love is embracing the gift of the relationship with GOD.
