… between November 6th - 12th on an emergency visit. Had received a call from my cousin on November 3rd notifying me of my 90 year old grandmother’s deteriorating condition - the doctor said “we ought to be prepared for…”.

So, before I knew it, I had booked a plane ticket and arrived in Hong Kong 3 days later.

I can no longer hide from the fact that I am actually going bald. Maybe I shouldn’t say ‘hide’ because I knew it would eventually happen from an early age and that I had started to loose hair for the last 4- 5 years or so. I think it is safer to say that ‘it has finally hit me’ and I am beginning to get paranoid because during the last year, my hair loss accelerated ‘fast’, to say the very least.

Like said, I knew it would come eventually even from I was around 11 yrs old. My father had become bald before I was born. I have 2 elders brothers whom are now also bald. Not ‘bald’ bald - it is the kind where there is hair on the back and sides but not on the front and top. Oh, and my granma (mom’s mom) has a bald patch at the back of her head. All this indicates that inheritance is a major factor therefore how can I even have the slightest hope of retaining a head full of hair? Sigh…

That’s a pretty bold statement on Apple’s top page. We may expect big things this year from Apple? No idea but I’m expecting…

…big big things from myself this year. 2007 is definitely the make or break year for me. Damn, I’m scared yet excited!

I have no idea as to what happened but I have a lower backpain and I can barely even walk right now. I was all fine until yesterday when I went out to buy dinner. On the way to the supermarket, I felt slight pains in both legs. Once I was done with shopping and on my way home, I felt my back was pretty heavy. And by the time I reached the entrance to my apartment, I couldn’t quite make my way up the stairs and had to call for help.

Since then, its gotten worse. I’ve been bed-bound since last night at 9pm. It is so painful that even turning around in bed is without me screaming “ooooh and arrrrrgh!”. Getting up is the worst experience (go to the loo, grab a drink, etc.): I have to move very slowly and pause for a good few seconds after each and every little movement because of the pain.

I’m gonna try and wait it out for a day or two. If this condition remains, I’m gonna have to call for an ambulance. This Xmas is totally ruined! Thank god, I have a laptop so I can browse the web while remaining in bed.

I’m pretty stressed right now, no words can describe my feelings. I decided to go to my fav place today, Odaiba, so I can sit on the artificial beach and let the breeze clear my head then walk around and take some pics. But shortly after I got there, I lost the mood so I headed home instead…

… from eating unhealthy food literally every day. Darn, I so love meat, oily and junk food!

Adults with psoriasis - especially younger patients with severe symptoms - appear to be at increased risk of a heart attack, a major study suggests.

A University of Pennsylvania team found a 30-year-old with severe symptoms had about three times the risk of somebody of a similar age without psoriasis.

They believe the immune abnormalities which cause the skin condition may also increase the risk of heart problems.

It found that heart attacks were more common in patients with severe psoriasis (5.13 per 1,000 person-years) and mild psoriasis (4.04 per 1,000 person-years) than in patients without the condition (3.58 per 1,000 person-years).

Well, isn’t that friggin’ good to hear? Good bye, my friends…

Those who know me are aware that I don’t handle heat so well. Its like, I’m hot all year round! So when the hot and humid Tokyo summer arrives, I literally go through hell which is why I keep a constant stock of ice lollies. What you see here, I get through in 2-3 days. This probably explains why I have stomachpains and diarrhea quite often (at least once a week!).

I think it’s kinda weird. It’s not like I’m fat or anything but I sweat easily and often. Especially when I have a lot on my mind, having to get something done in time, etc. I also have a short and bad tempered too. Maybe I’m just a tense guy… and oh so hot (nudge, nudge, wink, wink)… :lol:. Maybe I should learn to meditate…
