fri 20 feb : i was suppose to drive to the hospital on my own. but at 0630 daddy walk in my room n ask: alice, wat time u need to go? i said b4 0830. ok, then u wait for me, i go office then come back fetch u. mommy came in to say sumtin to, but i cant rmbr. i woke at 0745, got dressed n went down. dad was back(so fast!).

0830 i registered myself n they took me to day care. the nurse say me n say : aiyo... gal,u cant hv yr nails colored.aiyo.. how i noe? nobody say wat! then i had to remove all of the mani n pedicure that i freshly did 2 days ago!!shit..

0900 the nurse handed me the dress that i need to change in2. its the green wan with the back open. up til then i was stil ok, i could stil flip thru mag's n read the contents. the nurse came gain, wif a small bowl. then look n me n say, nak ambik darah. ok, i stil can accept. so the cold cotton touches yr skin, then u expect a SLIGHT pain when the needle goes in. (in my heart i shouted!! cos it was pain!!) ok, nvm i stil can stand it. then i felt she turn the needle!! i shouted out loud. it was DAMN PAIN!! then she pull out the needle n ask me. sakit ke? omg* the bad news is. darah TAK CUKUP la. OMG OMG. means need to take AGAIN. my eyes widen at her. she ask me, takut ke? i dumbly nodded my head. saya pegi amek jarum. i waited. she was back, on my left side. just now amek RIGTH side, now LEFT. thank god the 2nd wan was OK normal slight pain.

0930 she came. ok, suda mau tolak g bawa. up til then i was STILL OK. i put my mag, then lie on the bed. they started to wheel me out of the day care. i could stil smilingly wave bye to my dad(he had his serious face on, i noe he's worried). b4 enterin the ward. the nurse asked me sum questions which i cant rmbr now. but i rmbr them quite happy wif the answers i gave. (said sumtin that proves that i was stil ok up til that point) then it was in the anest room. opp was a patient aftr surgery. next to me, another patient b4 surgery. i saw the clock was 0932. it was the LONGEST 15 MINUTES IN MY LIFE. it was AGONIZING. seriously i was DAMN NERVEOUS!! my legs was SHAKING. i tell u. its SCARY. i had to think bout happy things to calm myself n make my legs not shake.but it oni works for like 3 seconds.

0948 the anest doc came n jab the needle in my left upper wrist. i was then wheel in2 the operatin theatre. i had to climb on2 the operatin table myself. gosh* (i thot they usually lift the patient?) the anest doc then gv a jab, which i started to feel sleepy. 2nd jab. in 3 seconds i was unconcious.

1135 the next thing i knew. i was in the anest ward.

1230 they wheel me back to the daycare. i met an unexpected sum1. daddy was stil ther. he seem to appear momentarily. i still fell in2 deep sleep off n on.

1345 mom n gary came. dad was stil doin that skjap ade, skjap takda, then eventually lunchtime ended n he left.

1500 the great surgeon came. he ordered the specimen (LUMP) to b brought up n shown like a prize to mom n me. (i oredi looked at it wif hatred when they wheeled me up to the ward). had to look at it again. wat came out of his mouth completely STUN ME. he said when he was surgically removin THE LUMP, he notice another 1 tiny weeny 1. ok, bad enuf. i hv 2 BLOODY lumps. wait wait, not finish yet.. when he was about to remove, he saw another small 1. FUCK!! i hv 3 FUCKIN lumps in my breast. DAMNIT. it was total disaster. nightmare. i was oredi in a daze. later on i got the report that 4 x 2 x 1.5 cm of breast flesh was removed. OMFG.

1530 i could b discharge. i got dressed. but when i tried standing. my world was spinning. in the end mommy asked for a wheel chair. gary push me to the carpark. i went home n sleep tru the evenin. woke up midnite.

common answers to the questions i got :
no, its NOT breast cancer.
its FIBROADENOMATA. fuck it.
YES, i stil hv my breast. (they just removed the lumps)
NO, i DONT KNOW wat causes it.
