I'M SO PISSED. its 9.30 on a sat morning and i am pissed. I CAN'T DONATE BLOOD!!!!!! and i so wanted to do that. now i know for a fact that i can't donate blood for the REST OF MY LIFE. fuck it. ok. this is why.. to bao? i googled it the minute i was off the phone with you. hahahahaz..
Thalassemia (from Greek θαλασσα, thalassa, sea + αίμα, haima, blood; British spelling, "thalassaemia") is an inherited autosomal recessive blood disease. In thalassemia, the genetic defect results in reduced rate of synthesis of one of the globin chains that make up hemoglobin. Reduced synthesis of one of the globin chains can cause the formation of abnormal hemoglobin molecules, and this in turn causes the anemia which is the characteristic presenting symptom of the thalassemias.
Thalassemia is a quantitative problem of too few globins synthesized, whereas sickle-cell anemia (a hemoglobinopathy) is a qualitative problem of synthesis of an incorrectly functioning globin. Thalassemias usually result in underproduction of normal globin proteins, often through mutations in regulatory genes. Hemoglobinopathies imply structural abnormalities in the globin proteins themselves [1]. The two conditions may overlap, however, since some conditions which cause abnormalities in globin proteins (hemoglobinopathy) also affect their production (thalassemia). Thus, some thalassemias are hemoglobinopathies, but most are not. Either or both of these conditions may cause anemia.
i'm actually mild thalassemia which is this ..
Alpha (α) thalassemias
Main article: Alpha-thalassemia
The α thalassemias involve the genes HBA1 [4] and HBA2 [5], inherited in a Mendelian recessive fashion. It is also connected to the deletion of the 16p chromosome. α thalassemias result in decreased alpha-globin production, therefore fewer alpha-globin chains are produced, resulting in an excess of β chains in adults and excess γ chains in newborns. The excess β chains form unstable tetramers (called Hemoglobin H or HbH of 4 beta chains) which have abnormal oxygen dissociation curves.
but frankly speaking, i dunno wad the hell is it. i juz know that i'm mild this, and that if its active, it would be life threatening. well... sorrie to pei li, bao, min and min and ting. zzzzzzzzz... so sorrie to ps you all last min. but i dun think i can stand to see you all donate blood then i there watching. hahahahahz. so yah.... its ok! next pubbing session!!!!

(finally). going swimming in the morning, practising piano at for the whole afternoon and tv and com at night. its been like centuries since i've seen sunlight or rather, been out in sunlight. sigh. i love the sun. been swimming for 3 conseutive days . wheeee.... i'm a little bit darker and i'm loving it. =) .
went out with the gals for a movie.. we caught 'he's just not that into you'. the story is a little messy actually, cuz the movie is abt many love stories at one time. so it gets rather choppy or messy... dunno wads the word. hahahahz.. but ben affleck and justin long just made my day. hahahaz.. then today went out early in the morning with mum, aunt and grandma to walk walk... tml will be shawn's birthday celeb.. at cck. right. hahahaz.. very far.
actually today went out with my mum to find let my grandma have a try out of the trial at a daycare. sigh. speaking of my grandma, i really dunno wad to do. you know its like those drama where the old lady like an unwanted ball, being tossed here and there? the doctor told my mum, there should be someone in the house to talk to her, remind her abt her medicine, this that this that... those cliched words i usually hear in dramas. why izzit happenning to my family? zzzzz... its as if i'm in those family whose parents dun give a shit about the mother, leave her alone to fend for herself blah blah blah..... damn. my grandma's quite negative abt the whole day care nonsense... well..... wad to do? since i've got a new job, i can't be at the beck and call at my grandma's to bring her here and there.... zzzzzz..
after that, i rushed home to be in time for my dad's photoshoot by straits time. yup. you heard me.. straits time came to my house to give my dad an interview. nothing good... its about him being retrenched and now changing to study tourism. the photoshoot has just finished and i had a hard time posing. i dunno how the whole thing will turn out lah. now the whole world's gonna know my dad's retrenched. great. not that its anything embarrasing, but its nothing worth featuring either. anyhow, its gonna be in the sunday times this sunday... think its 1st march but not sure if it is also not. hahahahz... so if anybody happens to see yu ying in the sunday times this week, dun bother to do anything. hahaz.. its not as if i got featured that i strike lottery, or i married jerry yan or something. hahahahaz... if the photographer sends me the pics through mail, i'll post it up here ba.

my fav song..... 同一个遗憾 by wilbur pan.
剩下我们
坐在岸边
看着她越走越远
白色星星
迎着海面
沙滩好远
而她的心
去了哪里
我们都无能为力
是谁的手
能牵她回来
Does she know
Don't think so
爱上了同一个遗憾
恍然明白
那时候
为何要
对彼此为难
Tell me she knows('coz) I don't think so
我们都不属于她的爱
不能重来的伤害
我们都学会了释怀
两个朋友一个最爱
不可能有的未来
只是结局
却让我们如此以外
她的决定终于太慢
看那微笑的安排
你怪 谁的错 (谁的错)
我们都 (我们都)失败
Does she know
Don't think so
爱上了同一个遗憾
恍然明白
那时候
为何要
对彼此为难
Tell me she knows('coz) I don't think so
我们都不属于她的爱
不能重来的伤害
我们都学会了释怀
Don't think so
爱上了同一个遗憾
恍然明白
那时候
为何要
对彼此为难
Tell me she knows('coz) I don't think so
我们都不属于她的爱
不能重来的伤害
我们都学会了释怀
this is the first song where i listened to for about half an hour over and over and over and over again. the rythem is not bad... but i fell in love with the lyrics. i dunno why. hahahaz.. it just seems so familiar.... kinda reminds me of the past....
just finished reading marley and me.. i like the way the john writes the ending.
"what i really wnated to say was how this animal had touched our souls and taught us some of the most importnat lessons of our livfes. 'A person can learn a lot from a dog, even a loop one like ours. Marley taught me abut living each day with unbridled exuberance and joy, about seizing the moment and following your heart. He taught me to appreciate the simple things - a walk in the woods, a fresh snowfall, a nap in a shaft winter sunlight. And as he grew old and achy, he taught me about optimism in the face of adversity. Mostly, he taught me about friendship and selflessness and , above al else, unwavering loyalty'.
It was an amazing concept that i was only now, in the wake of his death, fully absorbing : Marley as a mentor. As teacher and role model. Was it possible for a dog - any dog, but especially a nutty, wildly uncontrollable one like ours - to point humnas to the things that really mattered in life? I believed it was. Loyalty. Courage. Devotion. Simplicity. Joy. And the things that did not matter, too. A dog has no use for fancy cars or big homes or designer clothes. Status symbol mean nothing to him. A waterlooged stick will do just fine. A dog judges others not by their color or creed or class but by who they are inside. A dog doesn't care if you are rich or poor, educated or illiterate, clever or dull. Give him your heart and he wil give you his. It was really quite simple, and yet we humans, so much wiser and more sophisticated, have always had trouble figuring out wad really counts and waht does not. As i wrote that farewell column to Marley, i realized it was all right there in front of us, if only we opened our eyes. Sometimes it took a dog with bad breath, worse manners and pure intentions to help us see. "
almost cried at that part. hahahaz.. and the irony thing is... i was on the way to airport to send fer off. hahahaz... zzzz.

today's blog gonna be on a happier note. hahahahaz.. finished reports! hahaz.. finally. dunno do good or not. but at least its a load off my mind. but now is exam period.
we were talking abt the 10 million toto draw which everyone was talking abt. hahaz.. we (jazreel, clara, julie, kylie and i) got so excited abt it that we decided to try our luck since dragon babies are "wang" this yr. hahaz. we were thinking of numbers to buy so we decided to buy our own birthdates. after that, when we saw our classmates bought 90 bucks and 150 bucks worth of quickpicks, we decided that ours is small fry. hahahaz. so we bought 10 dollars quickpick. hahahaz.. below are our totos. but too bad. none strike. hahahahaz..
my mum came home one day to surprise me with a winnie the pooh cardlike thing. hahahaz.. apparently, SGH has this "polyshrink" thingy where you colour your favourite character on this A4 size plastic, then when heated in the oven,it shrinks. i have no idea wad polymer izzit despite my current courese. hahahz.. its was a thursday. so my mum say, tml is the last day, ask me whether wan go there and do hello kitty. then i was like.. huh. go all the way there to colour hello kitty. as much as i like, a bit waste time rite. so i begged and pleaded my bro to do one for me cuz he's working in SGH on fridays. so my mum and my bro, both finally after my pleading and begging, drew 2 hello kittys for me! hahahahaahz.. the one in the heart shape is drawn by my bro. the nicer hello kitty is drawn by my mum. you are given a tracing paper to trace out the character onto the plastic. so my mum's doing that the 2nd time mah, draw nicer. hahahahaz.. =) happie.
anyway, this week, 2 of my belovd frens will be leaving for further studies. been busy with the farewell gifts. for felicia's gift, its bought by bao and the idea is to combine all the things we buy for her inside. before bao left for Hong kong, she told me to decorate the box. being an art idiot, i decided to let a professional handle it. delphine to the rescue!!!!
before.
after ..
cool rite. hahahahaz. thank you delph!!!
then for kimberly. for her present, i was the kb kia. had to kb every single person to sms me the message they wanted to write for kimberly. i kb until i wan to vomit blood and milk. after chasing for message, have to chase for money. hahahahahaz..
