Media Action & Test

It's my first time participating in a 'media action'. Can't disclose too much here, but we were surrounded by reporters and cameras. Not sure if we made it to the TV news though. Two days ago, David called me and asked if I would be interested to help out. My job was simple. I didn't have to speak out. I only had to hold a placard that said '[location] cares about affordable transport'. So there were about 20 of us, each holding a placard to represent different areas across NSW. The whole thing only lasted for about 20 minutes. It was a fun experience though. After the event, I lied  that I wanted to walk around the city. I actually made an appointment for a body check today. It's been more than 3 months since the exposure. And the last test was done after 9 weeks. I want to be hundred percent certain, and I want to put this behind and move forward, without having to associate random symptoms i have with the exposure. I went to a private practi...

'Out There' BBC Stephen Fry

What I did this morning: Purchased a spray (Terbinafine) and sprayed it on my slippers and inside of my shoes, to hopefully kill the fungus that 'might' be present. Wiped the floor inside my room with a multipurpose spray by Dettol (Benzalkonium Chloride). Don't know if this can kill fungus or not. Then I came across this  Article . Basically what it's saying is that there are more than a hundred types  (or is it a thousand?) fungus and bacteria that are living naturally in our bodies and on our skin. As long as we are healthy, these 'friendly' fungus and bacteria will help to inhibit the growth of 'bad' fungus and bacteria. Like how we take 'probiotics' that are good for our guts. But for now, I can't care so much la. I have done what I could. Used 'Lamisil Once', keeping my feet clean and dry. Just leave it to God and have trust in him that everything will be fine.. Worrying is not going to help me. Back to Stephen Fry. ...

Helping hand

So I had an appointment with a GP today. He was friendly but I was quite shocked that he couldn't differentiate between antigens and antibodies. So I asked him, 'Err, with this pathology, do they use the 4th gen test? The one that looks for antigens and antibodies?' And he replied, 'I think for the general, first-line screening, they always look for the antigens first'. Looked up his profile on the clinic's website. More than 10 years of experience. Unbelievable. Anyway, on the pathology test request form, it was printed as Ag/Ab. Will go back tomorrow evening for the results. Hopefully everything will be fine. So, on my way home, while waiting for the green light at a junction, an old man approached me and asked if I could speak canto. I nodded. He was holding an envelope. And on it, there was this address. He told me he wanted to go to this building (with a Canto name). With the address, I used Google map to locate the place and found out that ...
