Allergy update~~~

Alright it's finally time for me to update on my current health issues which I've been suffering from for about 2weeks. Yep, that's the allergy reaction I had awhile back and I can finally say that I'm recovering well and the spots are disappearing slowly~~~ Biopsy results came back showing that it was my eczema condition which has been worsened by the fact that I had started my course of Oratane (cystic acne meds).... Apparently most Asians suffer from eczema as a child and when taking certain meds will aggrevate the condition in a short space of time (which looks totally gross...coz my eczema was never this irritating!!!). But it's all cool now~~~wooo~~~~

Here's a close up of what I had to go through... Ok...so it doesn't look that bad now but it was not long ago, that I  was covered from head to toe with red spots...believe me!!! This is really when it's starting to disappear....still spotty I must say but I was told that it will eventually all go and no scars will be left behind as long as I don't scratch them... Phew~~~ Especially when the itchiness has gone now too...


One of the areas where the rash started to disappear from was my face... and here is my naked face with nothing on but moisturiser... Man ... it has cleared up so much coz I had major splotches all over the face and neck....totally hideous in my opinion...and the only reason why I definitely had to hide away from society ahahahaahaha...

Now that my face had cleared up and I wasn't feeling like I needed to itch myself while in public...It was time for me to head out of the house!!! Coz I can totally face ppl now without looking to unlike myself haahahahaha... So it was a must that I headed back to church yesterday (I had already missed 2weeks worth of service~~~). Not only that but I was excited to go out and see ppl again....too bad the weather was terribly windy and cold on the first day out for me....




This is what I had for my first meal out...with Sunny and Sulynn after church for lunch. We headed to Teppansan on Russel st in the city for their famous CHEAP ASS Okonomiyaki... They call it Japanese pizza with the choice of fillings... I ordered the one with pork...while the other girls had beef (I don't eat RED MEAT)... I'm all about the chicken and fish with the ocassional pork (but hardly much of it). It's vegetables all the way~~~I probably only got through half of the meal coz it wasn't that great (quite disappointing) and I ordered Takoyaki on the side too~~~


For the past 2weeks I haven't been all that caught up in food cravings but I was definitely craving for some real COFFEE...which I miss heaps!!! I was thinking about a cup of hot coffee the entire time I was at home and finally got the chance yesterday to head to Koko Black for my fave Hot Chocolate Mocha ahhhhh~~~ Completely satisfied~~~ I've cut down on my coffee intake since I left uni but I can't live without it that's for sure. The above photo is one I took of the very last coffee I had before I broke out in allergies...I went out shopping that day then to Laurent with my sister for a break from shopping and to relax..we both admired the froth art hehehehe....its so cool ... didn't want to mess it up really... and the coffee was GREAT!!!




And that ends my first day out yesterday (Sunday)... Really satisfied coz I got to eat and drink my long awaited coffee I've been dying to have~~~ and most of all got to go to church to meet up with Sunny and her housemate Sulynn. Worse thing was the weather... super windy and freezing...HOW IS THIS SPRING??? sighZ~~~~ It'll get better soon I'm sure hehehhehee.... Stay well now ppl....

Laterz...
