oh yes, it's finally over.

after weeks of hell and fretting over microbes, its finally over. sometimes i wonder why i put myself thru such rubbish, having dropping thinning hair, ulcers erupting in my mouth, having that palpitation once too often in the day, profused cold sweats on my palms and soles and that inability of somnolence at night. if only, if only. after that scare in m1, i still didnt learn my lesson!!

somehow, the situation just seemed to have escalated in m2, though im supposed to have been more mature..haha..luckily for me, the past few wks would have been much worse if it hadnt been for zhong and daniel(dq) around..rain or shine, sunday or monday, they'd be there..ready to answer any queries that i have..not forgetting zhong for going thru staph aureus with me the day before the paper!! wooohoo!

yes well, im going to blog this down and possibly hyperlink to the side bar, to always remind me of what hell i have been thru.

dear hb,

remember how your heart literally sank thru your gut into your testicles everytime u looked at the microb board on the 2nd level? i felt that.

remember how you looked at bartonella, bordetella, brucella, bacillus, bacteriodes, and thought they were all the same?

remember how miserable u were that u almost screamed out at your girlfren..but den u didnt, and that i'm proud..and how u resumed that same ritual a year later, day in day out, wake up go library come home sleep routine..

remember how you couldnt sleep the night before the exam, and woke at 4am to go thru parasites (THANK GOD!) and den u couldnt sleep again 2 nights later..basically making in 6hours of sleep out of 72, well preparing u for the next subaru challenge?

remember how when everyone (esp zhong) started spouting out 'bacillus anthracis.....a case in central london happened this way...any form of anthrax eventually leads to septicemia and death' and dq's "yes! rhodococcus equi..causes pneumonia in the immunocompromised" and u nod wide-eyed in amazement and admiration but at the same time inside your cardiovascular system goes into full steam and cold sweat starts pouring out of your pores again.....

that you could actually not go thru all these if u had been consistent from week (not saying everyday) 1?

remember that.

love,
hb.
