Wild – Namie Amuro.
Something to pump up the excitement for Friday. Excuse me while I still savor the magical experience and fun I had in Universal Singapore yesterday thanks to the kind folks of Canon and Ogilvy. Thanks Glenn and Noel!
I still wanna go back to Universal!

Mid-week wednesday.
Kinda glad that the mid-week is here… This week has passed by normally, nothing much of the ordinary, except meeting Desmond on Monday for dinner, and having Ben and Jerry’s ice cream. It’s been a while since we met. 
Lately, been very preoccupied with loads of stuff, but I am getting it all sorted out nice and slow. April looks like a good month to wrap up everything that’s on my plate, and start afresh in May. Oh yes, this domain’s gonna turn a year older in a matter of a few days 
Oh yes, I better get down to clearing all my personal mails… Oops.

Tears For Fears – Shout
Shout, shout, let it all out, these are the things I can do without
Come on, I’m talking to you, come on
Shout, shout, let it all out, these are the things I can do without
Come on, I’m talking to you, come on
Somehow the beats and the lyrics speaks out to me a lot, and allows me to really let it all go… (Oh I was literally singing it loud in the bathroom)

Title: Photographs by Rihanna ft Will.i.am
Fell in love with this song, perhaps it was the lyrics, or the tune of this piece.
It should have been me and you
It could have been you and me
Boy you broke my heart and now I’m standing here
It should have been me and you
It could have been you and me
Now all I’ve got are these photographs
It kinda chased the blues away

It reminds me how things become a blur as time passes… even if it’s for an instant… Shot this on a random walkabout.

Feels great to just switch to another WP Theme, and this time, no more widget errors. In case you haven’t noticed, it now carries a small ad at the top left hand corner, and done out of good will to help. Contact me if you want a good cause to be supported on my blog. I will be more than happy to do it out of good will to help you out if possible.
Speaking of updates, I’m much better. The rashes on my arms and legs are subsiding, and the face is recovering much better than expected. Less reddish, and looks like all the scars disappeared too! Phew. It sure is a relief that the itchiness is going away too. Though the same cannot be said for the arms, but over time, it will disappear too.
It sure is a waiting game for these marks to fade, and they better not itch.
Colleague’s been reminding me of the Itchy and Scratchy show. That sure brought a lot of laughter. LOL!

I’m kinda glad that food didn’t play a role in contributing to my skin reaction on the face. For those who do not know, I am recovering from a skin allergy reaction. This was caused by one of the lotions that I have been using since the beginning of my skin treatment.
Unbeknown, it can cause the skin to overreact after a prolonged period of time of usage. Initially, I thought of it as nothing, till the red patches didn’t subside, but became worse, itching and being painful at the same time. It even started spreading, much to my alarm.
I just went to the skin doctor, and he gave me some medication to bring down the redness.
The good news is that my food intake is not responsible for all the redness that is on my face, and that the medicines (combination of cream, lotion and oral medication) is working very well for my case, bringing down the number of pimples and controlling the condition well.
The bad news is that the night lotion is probably too effective for me, and that’s causing the skin to flare up pretty badly.
For now, I’ve been put under strict instructions of using the prescribed cream 3x a day, avoid sunlight as much as I can for the next 5 days. My dosage of Oratane was also upped to twice a week for 5 doses, and back to once a week for the subsequent dosage.
Am resisting all temptation to scratch it, because it will just make things worse. I can only now cross my fingers and be patient for the cream to work.
It’s a little blow dealt to me, because I look absolutely terrible right now. Eating and drinking has become a slight problem too, as the surrounding skin near the lips are affected quite badly as well. In short, my whole face is affected.
At least now I know what’s the exact problem, and no longer fretting about it. In the meantime, I will just have to be like a “vampire”, running away from sunshine.

The world still rotates on an axis.
