Wooo, a new year's coming!. I really hope you guys will enjoy celebration tonight, fireworks, bbq, mandi laut, siram air, mandi bunga. (what's with the water and new year anyway? buang suwey?) I.will.not be enjoying new year, as always =p. It's really damn cold, tonight its -1C and still dropping (though Nuel and El will have it even worse, -15C this Friday? ahk! brr..). One reason holding me back would be the fact, (observe pic^) I have really itchy, swollen, red mosquito-like bites, burning sensation feeling on me fingers and fingertoes. Sampai nda buli tidur, gatal cam kana ciken pox ja. Went to the hospital, and been told it was an allergy reaction. Mhm, not surprising? Well, get this.. allergic to cold. Yep, not kidding.. So went back home and google bout it."As strange as it sounds, it is possible to have an allergy to cold temperatures. Doctors refer to this as cold hives (urticaria).
In some people, skin exposure to cold temperatures triggers the release of histamine and other chemicals into the skin. This results in skin redness, itching, swelling and hives. Although symptoms may begin during the cold exposure, they're often worse during rewarming of the exposed skin.
The cause of cold urticaria isn't clear. But certain people appear to have overly sensitive histamine-containing skin cells.
As much as possible, people with cold urticaria should avoid exposure to cold air as well as cold water. For example, swimming in cold water is the most common cause of a severe, whole-body reaction — leading to fainting, shock and even death."
Yep, can die punya ooo. Ahk~ Nothing serious though, just need to take a pil when symptoms occurs. Tapi tula, kna pkai gloves, socks..nda buli jadi starring tahan sajuk. O by the way, macam Christmas? Im getting a lil bit homesick. 4th Christmas abroad. Though I can cook properly now. =p
Ba, sepa mo pok sia jadi laki tu ari tu a? Ahk =p
Anyway, Happy New Year 2009. bla bla bla bla bla bla (and may you have a good year)
