♥ DAY 2: I'm down with Chicken Pox

You know what? I have always wondered why chicken pox is called chicken pox.

Why can't it be pork pox, mutton pox, beef pox or fish pox?

So i went wikipedia to look for info and in the end, i found these:
  1. Some guy suggested that the disease was "less dangerous", thus a "chicken" version of the pox
  2. the specks that appear looked as though the skin was pecked by chickens
  3. the disease was named after chick peas, from a supposed similarity in size of the seed to the lesions

As "pox" also means curse, in medieval times some believed it was a plague brought on to curse children by the use of black magic.

Then I came across this:

In England and Wales, 75% of deaths due to chickenpox are in adults.

...
.....

I think I just found another reason for not sleeping tonight.


PS: Thanks to all for your concern. I will bear in mind not to scratch!

13 days to go!

♥ DAY 1: I'm down with Chicken Pox

I seriously cant believe my luck.

I think this is retribution. The chickens are getting back at me for eating too much of them =(

Oh wells, I'll just take this as a two week vacation i guess. No more school then work, no more work then school.

EH!

actually this isn't so bad afterall!=D Just that half a month's pay will be gone.

I wonder what's for dinner tonight? The Doctor instructed my mum that I'm not supposed to eat chicken, fried food, milk and other heaty stuff. I think I will just survive on fruits for the rest of these two weeks. Dont really have the mood for porridge. And by the way, Chicken pox is a rich person's disease. It costs $92 bucks for the medicine and consultation!

Guess I will be updating my blog daily from today onwards, starting my two weeks confinement.

Something random.

FORMULA 1!

I bet half of Singapore is talking about it... Cant imagine the winner turned out to be Spain's Fernando Alonso!

I'm a super noob at cars and racing stuff but i really respect these racers. Half the time while watching the live telecast, I was trying my best to keep myself from dozing off. Can you imagine how these racers managed to race finish the freaking 61 laps?

And to be honest, Singapore doesn't have the best roads in the world, quite a number of rough bumps here and there. I bet after the race, their butts are gonna hurt big time.

Hmmms... got to get back to BB project, last one to go! Lets ACE this one groupmates. I'm super sorry for any inconvenience caused. Now we are really "virtual" teams. Jie, Carmen, Lian ming and Gordon, lets chiooong for the last one and prove that Virtual teams work eh? Hahaha!

Ps: I am seriously scared to dead by any possible scars, if anyone has any advice on chicken pox, PLS, share it with me k?

Be back with Day 2 tomorrow!

14 days to go!
