Bad Tudung Day

Assalamualaikum and hello to all :)

I experienced bad tudung day yesterday. It all started when I began wearing the newly-ironed tudung.


'Ish, tudung tak betul! ARGHHH!!!!' and off I ironed it again for the second time.


'What's wrong with you, tudung? Why can't you stay stilll?????' I scolded the tudung and myself for caring too much about the appearance of the tudung.


I ironed it for the third time. This time, I really ironed it vigorously, using my whole energy,as if I was scrubbing my dirty clothes using the laundry brush. 


'Echinococcus! Taxoplasma Gondii!!!' I cursed under my breath.


For the third time. Hmm, oklah. Not bad. Who cares, anyway?


And along the way walking to kulliyyah of Pharmacy with Syau, I saw Munie clutching her labcoat.


'ARGGHHH!!! SYAUU!!!!' I shrieked dramatically, and shook Syau's whole body by the shoulders.


'HAH? APASAL? APASAL??' Syau was really shocked as well.


'I TERTINGGAL LAB COATTTTT!!!!' 


'Oh, ceh!' dramatik betul budak ni.


And I went back, running up several flight of stairs, entered my room, panting. Gah!


Okay, we have arrived at the Kulliyyah of Pharmacy. Entered the lab, along with my other classmates.

And suddenly 'Sarah bawak lab report tak???'

"Alamak! Tak bawak! Dah print tapi tertinggal kat bilik!'

GREAT.

Then the 'drama' started.


Okay, drama finished. Tau sendiri la drama apa yg berlaku kat makmal.


OSPE habis. Biochem best. Microbs? Oh, tak kisahlahhh..


Went back to room, took a bus to KOP and submitted the report. 
And at night.


'AICHOOO!!! AICHOOO!!!!' 


And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the highlight of the 'Bad Tudung Day'.

 I had a common cold last night and I can't really recall the actual event that leads me being in that miserable condition. I do remember eating Nasi Ayam before but seriously? AYAM? Sebelum ni tak pernah allergic ayam pun. Hoho. So like maybe, the histamine is released from the mast cells and basophils. Urghh..


Okayla, so the common symptoms of allergy/cold that I experienced are as follows:
1. Sneezing, due to histamine-associated sensory neural stimulation.
2. Runny nose, due to increased vascular permeability and hypersecretion of glandular tissues. 
3. Nasal engogement (blocked nose) due to increased capillary permeability and vasodilatation.

And as I went on sneezing non-stop with runny nose and really blocked nose (I really can't breathe through nose!) and Syau commented that she heard me sneezing non stop when she was at the bathroom,  (boohoo!) and guess what I did?


I took my Pharmacology notes and memorized (and understand, of course), the facts I stated above. HAHA.

I decided to sleep for sleep is the BEST medicine! But I couldn't sleep! Arghh! Because I kept on sneezing every one minute! Then I went to Mazlina's room and asked her



'Maz, anti-pyretics ada?' nonchalantly.
'Kau demam ke?'
'Aku rasa allergic reaction. Tak kisah la, anti-pyretics ke, anti-histamine ke, Zyrtec ke, acetaminophen ke,'

' Maz went on 'hunting' the Panadol.


And she gave me Panadol tablets and Panadol soluble.


'Bismillahirrahmanirrahim!' I swallowed one tablet of 500 mg Paracetamol (Panadol tablet). 


Okay, now, Panadol Soluble pulak!


I tear down the 'packet' and plopped it into the mug filled with plain water.
And as a good pharmacist-to-be, I read the instructions and the description of the Panadol Soluble packet.


'Each tablet contains 500mg ACETAMINOPHEN'


WHATTTT???? Selama hampir 21 tahun hidup kat dunia ni tak tau pun Panadol Soluble tu ACETAMINOPHEN. Selama ni ingatkan semua PANADOL tu PARACETAMOL je! And the most idiotic thing is that I just know that ACETAMINOPHEN and PARACETAMOL are the same thing. The only difference lies in the name! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! (okay, tak kelakar -___-)


Takpe, better late than never (walaupun ketawa dan diketawakan atas kebodohan sendiri >__<)

Acetaminophen has anti-pyretic and analgesics property. However, it does not possess anti-inflammatory property. 


Okay,BAD TUDUNG DAY, OVER!
