Hello, I blog!
I share all my sporadic and toilet thoughts in here, because I am random like that.
I’m turning into a gorilla
Picture the scene. Mum and I are seated in my immunologist’s clinic while the former constantly badgers the (slightly overwhelmed-looking) doctor regarding the side effects I have from the immunosuppressants I take regularly.
“Oh yeah, and one more thing,” mum continues.
The immunologist looks at her.
“Why is Brenda getting hairier? Look at her arms! The hair is getting longer! Is this caused by the medicine too?”
The immunologist looks at me. I simply shrugged and give him my usual ‘mum’s worrying too much again‘ look like I always do when she goes about her usual habit of bombarding him with endless questions every visit.
“Well, yeah. It is caused by the medicine,” the immunologist says. “But, is it any cause of concern to you, Brenda?”
“Well, no!” says I.
“I like being hairy. It keeps me nice, warm and fluffy.”
The expression on my immunologist’s face at that moment was epic. From that moment, I think he’s quite convinced that he’s dealing with a loon instead of a patient with autoimmune problems.
And no, I wasn’t being sarcastic. That’s actually 50% truth. I quite like being hairy … definitely not for the ‘nice and fluffy’ part, but well … it does keep me warmer than usual.

Haha, that’s kind of really funny. :P Although… During winter, I don’t mind it, either, sometimes. :P

Does it really keep you warmer? I know the hair on my head holds tons of heat, especially in summer, but hair on my arms? Hmm.

Hahaha, in a tropical country like Singapore where every light layer (or hair) matters – well, it does. :P I doubt I can stay warm in say, Alaska though! (;
