I had a mild allergy attack last night.

I have a allergy to prawns. More specifically, I have a allergy to prawns that are not washed thoroughly. My condition is pretty mild; I only get some itchiness in my throat. The last time I got rashes was when I was still in Beijing.

I had an Ebi Rice Burger from MOS Burger last night for dinner, and by 9, I found that I had rashes breaking out on my back. Luckily, I know that the yellow flu pills (forgot the name) that I always pack for my travels cures rashes as well. I popped 2, and the rashes subsided soon. The only bad thing was that I was drowsy soon after.

I guess I'm lucky in that my allergy is not very serious. Still, there is hope. Some scientists have found a plan that may eradicate it in the future. For now, the second answer here provides a solution.

Reservist is finally over. I have attended 7 ICTs, and I should have 3 more to go. The good news that I found out during this ICT is that I was downgraded, so I am no longer eligible for IPPT. Better late than never, I guess.

Anyway, I had a commander that, by the end of the first week, my opinion was that if there is a war, I will run away instead of fighting under him. By the second week, I had changed my mind. If there is a war, the first person I'll shoot is him. For a commander, indecision is fatal. Instead of commanding, he worries over little stuff that will serve him better if he had delegated them. I'm really glad that this year's ICT is over.

Bad news on the domestic front though, 樂樂 is down with cough and phlegm in his lungs again. He is on medication, and his condition has improved, and his next appointment is next Wed. Given his history, Jas and I are very concerned, and monitoring the situation closely.

I've uploaded photos at the usual place.

I started my 2 weeks of national service in-camp training this Monday. It has been fine so far, a nice change from work.

Oh, and I got myself a brand new phone. It has all I need. Quadband, bluetooth, 3.5G, music player, and most importantly, NO CAMERA. There is a non-camera version of the E51. Wonderful stuff. On a side note, colleagues and former colleagues who have worked with me at my current job will understand the strange feeling of linking to an A4 link. The marketing URL doesn't seem to work though. Heh.

Anyway, with Euro 2008 around, I have less time to blog, but I will write more soon.

樂樂 was experiencing some hair loss, especially at the top of his head in addition to cradle cap, so we cut off his hair over the weekend.

Photos are uploaded.

Jas brought 樂樂 out on Saturday, and it was my off day for quite some time. I felt that I recovered sufficiently over the night that I went out for my gadget browsing/shopping trip.

Long story short, I got drenched, the air conditioning didn't help, and I got a fever in addition to the flu that I was feeling the day before. I spent the most part of yesterday in slumber. When I thought I couldn't sleep any more, I'll lose consciousness once my body hit the bed.

I'm feeling much better now, but still not my usual self. Hopefully, I'll recover fully soon.
