As Good As It Gets

The unexpected trip to the "wild".
Yesterday,my lecturer called my final year project partner and I to join a group of master students for their trip to a secondary jungle nearby USM to do a seismic survery.The survey is done in order to obtain the mapping of the slope to analyze the suitability of the area for a proposed project.

I thought that it was going to be a short trip because my lecturer assured us that the survery was going to take a very short time.Instead, we were required to spend the whole day at the site!

Well, you see, we did the survey on a very, very steep hillslope and we had to carry kilogrames of equipments(2 very long cables,a 12V portable battery,the bulky seismograph!, etc).

During the 1st one hour at the site, I immediately felt an insurmountable amount of regret for choosing this topic for my final year project. But, I tried my best to keep the negative thinking off, and effortlessly projected the positive aspects of this "excursion" like health benefits(physical movement = lose weight), clean air(detox my lung) etc.Huhu

The highlight of the day was I got stung not by one, not two but a group of bees on both sides of my temple!Honestly, I thought the bees stung my eyes and the affected areas will get swollen and ugly.Luckily, my partner assured me that the pain will be gone completely after a few days.I got to know that there are actually several types of bee and I was stung by the non - poisonous type(Luckily!).The pain was unbearable for the first 10 minutes but it subsides after that. As now, the pain occasionally come but I have itchy sensation on the affected areas.

I know that I shouldn’t be saying this but I dislike to be in the tropical jungle where tall bushes and dense vegetation reigns.You will not know what is lurking underneath.The only green place where I would hang out are parks and any well - kept green areas.

Peace!

I wonder why is my weight keep fluctuates? A year ago, I lost about 25kg, then by middle of this year I gain 15kg back.So, the mathematical subtraction reprises an actual weigh loss of 10kg, from the very first period of time when I started to lose a substatial amount of weight.

I have no explaination of this sudden weight loss,but it is always right to blame external factors like the spicy food of Penang, stressful Uni life and always,always looking life through the bleak outlook.

But then, in medical terms, the explaination is rather vague cuz the doctor came to an ending road of whats really going on with my body.I was prescribed with some sort of weight gain medication, but I do not think it neither helped me to increase my appetite nor to get back my old weight(which I am not proud of).

All of the sudden,in the past few months,I started to gain back my weight.My stomach bloated day by day.From a perfect vertical, it is now a perfect 180 degrees curvature tummy.Yes, I hated it,but most importantly,I am worry about it.

Whats wrong with my body?Lost 25kg in half a year, then suddenly gained another 15kg since the beginning of this year.

Money spent buying smaller clothes went to waste.Nowadays,I need to purchase bigger clothes.

Owh well,at least I got to feel what is it like being thin at least once in my lifetime.Hmmm…I used to be 62kg at 170cm tall,now I am a slightly overweight at 80kg at 170cm.
