The pain is somewhat bearable now.

I haven't spoken much today. It's hard to, especially when your body does things which are beyond your control.

Yesterday, I left school around 2-ish, to go meet my parents at Bugis MRT before heading for Ong's Clinic. My mother had a similar rash a few weeks ago, and recommended that I visited the same doctor. The doctor told me that I have some kind of fungal infection, that had spread to parts of my skin.

He was being very explicit about it all. He even drew some anatomical diagrams to explain what actually happened and what caused this. It's got a lot to do with hygiene, which is somewhat linked to my high metabolic rate.

My bodily functions are like, whoa. So I prespire easily. I'm not uncomfortable about it though. I've grown accustomed to it actually. I don't sleep with the fan blasting at my face. My brother wants our room temperature to emulate that of a temperate country, which is not the smartest thing to do because our bodies have been made to adapt to tropical climates. I usually sleep outside on the yellow couch. It's very snug out there. The windows are opened for minimal ventilation.

In short, I am rather particular about my sleeping environments. I don't mind being interrupted mid-sleep though. I'll just wake up later, that's all, which might become quite problematic knowing how early I have to be up for school.

Anyway, back to the whole fungal infection theory. Yeah, so when you perspire a lot, the conditions are optimal for fungal growth. They latch onto one spot on your body, and that's like the main factory. Then you'll start to itch, and the common reaction is to scratch that area. Spores from the growth attach themselves under your fingernails, then you scratch some other part of your body. Soon, the rashes spread all over your body, and you'll start itching all over.

I have to take a few pills, for the itching, and some antibiotics. He also gave me cream and a special antibacterial soap bar. The cream smells odd. It's rather disgusting. The yellow itching pill makes me drowsy. I am not myself today because of it.

Anyway, this morning, I woke up late again, so I had no choice but to take a taxi to school. I wasted $13.80 on cab fare. =((

I was saving up to buy some new clothes. Ugh.

I didn't have time to put the cream on the affected areas, so I'm feeling rather irate about all the rashes I have to tend to.

I hope you guys enjoyed the PICSPAM. I'll post more pictures soon, promise
