A woman's woes
[The BLOODY days]Sometimes, it sucks to be a woman.That's how i feel anyway. Especially when you have to stay in the bloody HOT Singapore. Well, you will think that after 21 years of staying in Singapore, i will get use to the hot climate. Yes, i am used to it, even though i still complain about the weather.However, the weather gets damn irritating when you are a woman bleeding in the hot Singapore. YES, i am a bleeding woman right now. Not that i hurt myself lah, duh, though that can be irritating due to the hot weather too, with sweat in the wound and all. But that is not my point. My point is, menstruation. YES, the irritating biological cycle that women have to go through once every month, unless she is pregnant or menopausing or a HE in disguise. Well, you will ask me that since i am already 21, i should get use to it by now, after all, i have been bleeding for almost half of my 21 years of life. Seriously, yeah, i am used to it. As in, at least now i am not traumatized by the sight of the blood anymore. But that doesnt mean that i cant complain about the painful cramps AND the hot weather. Why do i have to complain about the weather?Let me tell you why. Firstly, it's of cos, the obvious reason that the stupid weather makes me irritated due to the sweat down there! For guys who are reading this, want to know how it feels like? Try stuffing lots of cotton wool down your groin area and take a walk outdoors when the weather is HOT. Then you tell me how you feel. AND add the irritating sweaty feeling to my already bad mood, you know, PMS, you get one really MOODY and NASTY Joyce. That is the first reason. The second reason is another one that makes me curse at the STUPID HOT weather.. Tell me how do you feel when the weather is so damn hot that make you so sweaty, and you have to drink hot tea at the coffee shop?? SHIOK or not? For me, NOT! Please lor! It's already bad enough that i am bleeding and sweating and feeling damn suffocated down there, and other parts of my body sweaty and hot as well, i have to drink HOT TEA so as not to make me have severe painful cramps??Well, i cant take it. So, i heck care and decided to enjoy first then suffer the pain later and drink cold drinks instead. Of course, i am not stupid to suffer the pain and not do anything about it ok! i do try to eat pain relievers and all. But well, everyone knows that it is not healthy. If you don't know before, now you know liao lah. So i tried not to. But i still eat when i cant take the pain, which is pretty much every month once. So i ate them, knowing it is unhealthy, feeling guilty and worried cos' i wonder if i remain dependent on pain relievers cos' i drink panadols for the rest of my life, what are the side effects going to be? But i simply cant stand drinking hot drinks when the weather is so freaking hot! So it is bad enough that i have to feel guilty and worried about eating pain relievers cos' i cant give up my preference for cold drinks, it is worse when i have learnt that by drinking cold drinks, it is going to be harmful to you in the long term!!!HOW do i KNOW this?? Well, my mum told me about this. Cos her doctor told her that. How is it harmful??To tell you this i have to tell you a short story. Well, my mom has two tumours in her womb. They are said to be non cancerous (Thank god!), but nonetheless, the tumours do cause her discomfort (think having trouble passing urine), and she is also lucky that they are not cancerous. Point is, one of the tumour is formed by blood clots, according to tests and x-rays done. Well, the doctor told my mom, that the blood-clot-tumour(dont know what its actual name is), is formed by drinking cold drinks!!!!Cos' the cold drinks will cause blood to clot in your womb during menstruation, and so in the long term, it will form into a tumour!!! AND the doctor says that for women who have blood clots coming out rather than just liquid blood during their menstruation, have to watch out cos' in the long term, it can, like i mentioned earlier, form into a tumour!!! AND the doctor says, for this kind of woman, better dont drink cold drinks even when they are not menstruating!!!!!!!!!Now, you tell me, with this piece of information, how am i going to feel better?? I am already feeling guilty and worried enough about the panadol thing, then now this!!! I mean, i am one of those women that the doctor warned about, i DO HAVE BLOOD CLOTS when i am bleeding!!!So, now, i either heck care, or do something about it. Of course, in order to stop worrying and feeling guilty, i should really stop drinking cold drinks. YES, even when the weather is FUCKING HOT i have to drink HOT TEA. TELL me lah! How to feel good and not complain???? I think at this rate, i am going to have PMS everyday.Who should i blame? Cos' i really feel like blaming someone or something. Should i blame GOD, for making me a woman??Hmm... No, i do like being a woman sometimes. THE DOCTOR perhaps?? If he didnt tell my mom, i will continue taking my pain relievers with just a little guilty conscience...hmm...No, he was just doing his job and all. MY MOM? After all, if she didnt ask the doctor why she has the tumour, i won't know about this. As the chinese saying goes, bu zhi zhe wu zui(translation: people who don't know are not guilty and wrong). No, better not blame her, cos' she will stop paying my sch fees(joking lah...), she already has tumour, how can i blame her??? it will be so heartless! I KNOW. Blame the stupid BLOODY HOT SINGAPORE SUN!!! If it's not so fucking hot, i wont have all these problems. Like in Switzerland or New Zealand, i am sure the women there dont face this kind of problems. So yeah! Blame the freaking Singapore sun. YOU , MR. SINGAPORE SUN, is the root of my bleeding problem. WHY MUST YOU BE SO HOT?Ok, enough of that. THE END. P/S: Sorry blogders for the rantings, but i am a bleeding woman right now, and hence, in no good mood. Be thankful that i am not so unreasonable as to blame YOU for my mood, yadda yadda.
