Western vs Eastern?

I guess it has been some time since i did a proper update,
so here it is.

A-Levels have started,
in fact it's going into the 3rd week.
At this point of time, I'm left with 3 papers.
- (22 Nov/Mon) H2 Chemistry Paper 1
- (23 Nov/Tue) H2 Physics Paper 3
- (29 Nov/Mon) H2 Physics Paper 1
So i guess most of the pressure that has been piling on me
are more or less taken off.
Completed papers are generally okay,
as in i gave in everything i've got, it all depends on fate already.
Just praying i will pass my GP this time,
but hopefully better results than last year uh.

Well, exams is not the point.
It's about the rashes that i have recently that i wanted to talk about.
Since 3 weeks ago, rashes have been appearing all over my body.
Okay for a while and came back after that.
Only until these few days that it got increasingly worse.
Very irritated by the itchiness lah.
So finally, yesterday,
when i'm slightly more free after completing the major papers,
i made a visit to the (western) doctor who gave me an injection
saying it will be faster in getting rid of the rashes and all that itchiness.
And i don't exactly know why,
everything after i had an injection,
there is some sort of rejection my body is taking
and i will start to black out, feel dizzy and have headaches.
It really felt like shit. Feel worse than anything else.
(Same thing happened in army when i had 3 injections
for supposedly vaccine or something that everyone has to take.)
What that is more annoying is that
the injection i had didn't helped at all.
I went to the clinic in morning & the rashes are back by evening.
Wa lao eh. And the condition is like worse than before.
Itchy like shit. (By the way, i'm still feeling itchy all over NOW)

Doesn't work at all, so how?
Today, i went to see the Chinese physician
and i'm sooooo impressed by the system they had.
I am VERY SURE that it's at least better than going to the Polyclinics.
The one that i went is Singapore Chung Hwa Medical Institution.
They even had website that very clearly states the specific treatment
available at the specific range of time, including a PDF file
of a schedule listing the exact physician available at the different timing.
Don't play play la.
They even have computer at each registration counter, dispensary counter
and at each treatment room (or whatever u call).
As good as a standard hospital, computerised and systematised.
They just key in the problem u had and medicine u need into the computer.
Wa, like so high-tech lah please!
Student assistants beside the physician didn't hinder the speed of treatment at all.
I'm like so so soooo impressed. Really.

Back to my problem,
as people often says western medicine 治标不治本
(i.e. treating illness by curing the symptoms but not at the roots of the problem)
(something along that line lah uh)I really hope all the tablets and syrups they gave works for me
and all that rashes and itchiness can be gotten rid before my birthday.
Like please la. Who would want to have rashes on their birthday?
Pray for me please. haha. Please~
And this is my receipt. Like all Chinese lah.
