Flare Up

A delightful dinner tonight with rice and steamed pak choi and garlic prawns. (I still wonder why my parents label me as a lazy kid who can't cook. Hello! Of course I can. I'm just too lazy and modest to show off my skills. Lols!)

What could possibly go wrong this time? Instant flash: my last lost battle with the stubborn pokey fork on Wednesday. The horror and lost dignity remains...

Instead, home-cooked meals can be equally deadly these days... Still can't figure out what went wrong? The prawns!!! I bought it from Wooley at $6 for 250g, thinking a seafood meal would be a nice change to red-meat diet. And so I cooked Tom Yam the day before and nothing went wrong. I just knew things were just too good to be true. Something was obviously wrong when I felt my lips were swollen after 30 minutes of dinner activity. Like being bitten by a large mosquito... How could this happen? I ate 5 yesterday and nothing went wrong at all. I just had 2 for dinner... Hello!!!

Jiaming: Stupid white blood cells (aka Basohphils), why do you have to flare up every time I ate some unclean fat prawns? Don't you know Eosinophils have to work double shifts to mop up the histamine you flare up as you like around my body???

Stupid white cells: (unison) 'Coz we don't like those fat ugly C-shaped orange-stripe marine creatures lurking around... We hate 'em!!!

Jiaming: *sigh and double sigh*

Haiz... The basophils are obviously some stupid white blood cells to have around your body. Besides histamine-ing around as they like, they also spray heparine here and there... Other than prevent blood clot in your blood vessels, they are not really helpful when fighting against lethal pathogens... In the case of mine, don't ever try to offend these sensitive tiny cells. (Stupid white blood cells: HEY!!! Who you're calling TINY??!!!)

Another food I can definitely put in the allergy list is Nectarine... Had it 3 weeks ago in my aunt's house.... It will have the same lip swollen and scratching here and there effects. Small and evil...

I've been scratching my lips, limbs and hair the moment I started to do some assignments 3 hours ago. It's so bloody irritating!!! Arrghh!!! I'm going to bed...
