POKE!

first, i am deprived of sleep today. i make myself sound so pitiful hoho but chotto matte.. sleep deprivation by my (present) standard is anything less than a usual 10hours nightly ;) i had 6 hr last night btw haha...

got dragged out of bed a little before 9.. barely an hour after i woke up, in a half-consious state, i had a jab! O.O and i woke up!

nah. i was exaggerating. :P

according to my immunisation records, the last time i had an injection was in pri 6! didn't realise it though... i thought i had it not long ago like in sec4!

now i am contemplating whether to take another SET of hepA and hepB jabs (which are optional). blood test+3 jabs in all. but hey, this is not even a fraction of what i have taken in my entire life!

I really have to salute MOH (or wadeva org) who draws up the entire immunisation plan that spans from infancy to teenage. my immunisation records basically satisfy all the requirements set by cornell ("must be taken within last 10 yrs" blah blah). besides the heavy subsidy (i dun rmb my parents paying huge sums whenever nurses trooped into my pri sch), the majority of the jabs are planned to be taken before the age of 2! brilliant! what phobia of needles does a baby have? what tantrums can he/she throw in front of the nurse? when an infant feels the pain of the needle, he/she just cries, and it's duh; when a pri 6 boy/gal feels the pain and he/she cries or screams, he/she will be ridiculed by peers.

hmm.. infancy could potentially be a period when great things could be done kae... hmm...
