"Herpes zoster, or shingles, is caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox. After an episode of chickenpox, the virus becomes dormant in the body. Herpes zoster occurs as a result of the virus re-emerging after many years....."
And so i got myself an MC last Friday. I SHOULD have gone to the doctor a day earlier la, not just because I won't have to report to work on last Thursday as well, but also perhaps taking medication 1 day earlier helps better too.
Nevermind then.
I guess I'd be getting more MCs next month anyway, with the 2 dental surgeries to remove the naughty wisdom teeth. Obviously, I've to make full use of the full subsidy before it ceases from 6th November.

My same-age cousin just got enlisted yesterday, and so i've got the chance to visit tekong once again. And how i miss the place!!!
It's as though i saw myself 20 months ago! I still remember, quite vividly, on DAY ONE, how my bunk-mates and i sat down round the table in the room, introducing ourselves, asking which JCs we were all from, etc..
And it came into my mind.....The tables which would exaggeratingly be mountain-full of snacks and tidbits on book-in days, and almost cleared by the end of the 2nd day of the week! The days and nights of crapping talk and singing! The night when all of us were worrying about the A level results the next morning!
BMT still holds my best memories in NS. I miss BMT more than any other part of my NS stint. And so i couldn't help but think that any worries of any parents of new-enlistees are quite unfounded, since BMT is largely enjoyable.
人生是黑白的.
