ok, there's only 1 event worth updating from the past few weeks of my life...
the blood test result is out - positive for the HLA B27 gene. Meaning I'm gonna rely on medication this life time... sound serious... hmmm. I'm not sure about it cos I supposed I can live with it :) also, I'm gonna be downgraded for my national service as well. Hopefully I won't need to do the IPPT (Individual Physical Proficiency Test). hehe. and no carrying of heavy loads during my ICT(In Camp Training).. heeee...
Life is......unpredictable... Live it once.. live it good ;)
And it's been 2 weeks since my last post..haha...apparently I'm back in Singapore and have been really busy working and meeting up with friends. so below are what I've been up to lately....

Aug15 - work Aug16 - work Aug17 - work and met Eve, Jo and Ad for dinner @ Food for Thought. went to Upper Serangoon to eat durians..

Stayed @ Siloso Beach Resort. nice place with a good view :) too bad it rained the whole of 18th and little sun on the 19th 's morning..Met up with Jo and Ad, Jo's bro vincent and his girlfriend Lifang. Headed down to ZoukFlea & Easy @ Zoukaka my favourite club :) This is my 1st time down to ZoukFlea, quite interesting i must say. The people going there dresses up as if they are going for a party.hahaha...but it's candies for the eyes!!haha.. Mediacorp's Artistes like Chen Hanwei, Jade seah and Lina Ng has a stall each.basically this whole event is helping the sellers to get rid of their old stuff in a "fashionable" n "profitable" way. haha.. I would like to try to get a space for the next ZoukFlea. Wish me luck ppl. Nothing caught my eyes from this ZoukFlea. I mean Nothing on display that is..hahha.. Saw a Charlene from Hong kong Canto-pop group Twins look-alike selling her stuff. she caught my attention amongst all those "candies". but it's not because of her looks..cos she's ain't eurasian and doesn't have smokey eyes..hahha.. It's just a feeling... So I braved myself up and approached her.. I managed to pull through and had a little conversation with her. Didn't ask for her no. in the end but I'm just as contented and proud of myself for having the courage to try and Thank you Hazel(that's her name)for ending this rainy weekend with your sunshine smile :) hehe...
After more than 2 months of visiting hospitals and going for scans. the specialist suspected that I haveAnkylosing Spondylitisafter reviewing my bone scan result. Thesymptomsmatched exactly to what I've felt for the past 2 months. However, the result of the bone scan itself is not enough to confirm the diagnosis. Thus, I did a blood test for the presence ofHLA B27 gene.If the gene is present in my blood, that means I'm suffering fromAnkylosing Spondylitis. If it's not, then what am I suffering from??? ARGH!!! in such a dilemma. On one hand I hope I'm not suffering from Ankylosing Spondylitiscos this disease cannot be cured!! the inflammation can only be controlled by eating painkillers and I'll need to do physiotherapy.But worst of all, I can't play vigorous sports!!! Roller blading, Basketball!!! Can't Stop playing those sports man!!! On the other hand, I wanna know what exactly is wrong with my back!! My affected area: Sacroiliac Joints
I remember some of my friends ask me how I hurt my back and my reply to them is:"it just happened!" True enough..Ankylosing Spondylitis is a genetic disease...it's inherited.... you can't make yourself get this even if you want to..Too Bad!!!hahaha...but for goodness sake, who in the right state of mind would wanna get any kind of disease.....hahahah...
hmmm... the above description of the suspected reason for my back problem sound serious right.... don't worry, life still goes on.. I'm almost back to normal now cos I've gotten used to the aching pain on my lower back. Meanwhile, U guys out there please take care of yourselves :)
waiting for my blood test results....1 month later.....
