SCD. what the hell is SCD? Spinocerebellar Degeneration, or Spinocerebellar Atrophy. a very cruel disease indeed, for the mind is not affected at all.



our normal movements are controlled mainly by our spinal cord and cerebellum, a fine mass of tissue somewhere in the lower back of our brain. SCD is a disease that slowly eats the neurons in the brains and 'break' the nerves, causing the cerebellum to shrink. the first stage of SCD is staggering. sufferers would first walk unbalancely, and would often fall. some of their falls would not be blocked by their hands and they would fall head first. compared to a sufferer, a healthy person would instinctively put out their hands to block their fall. a sufferer, however, would probably not. after that, a sufferer's movements would slowly be limited and basic things a healthy person takes for granted, like even swallowing would be difficult to do without choking.

i wish a cure would be found soon. it hurts to know that this type if disease is still alive and kicking during our time and age.

how do you get this disease? i think it's hereditary somehow. i think only lahh.. it's ermm.. homozygous recessive. so.. faham faham je la..

i love Japanese Drama. aka. JDrama(JDorama). who knows why? who can guess why? who wants to guess why?





yeah, well, of course everyone would tell me that it's the number of pretty boys(especially JE pretty boys) in the drama.. and i am definitely not exaggerating when i say that JE(Johnny's Entertainment or Johnny's Jimusho) boys are seriously pretty and cool and cute and all other words that have the same surname. you can search for JE Boys in wikipedia. just type in Johnny's Entertainment. =)





ok. well, irrelevance is definitely my middle name. where were we? oh yes. pretty boys. ehh? no! who said that?! shh! we were guessing the answer to 'why Nur Faiezah aka EFJ loves JDrama.?'





well, aside from pretty boys(xP), JDrama makes me think. like seriously think. no.. not like thinking in an exam kind of think.. but thinking deeply. like serious thinking. mostly about life. somehow JDramas have this effect on me. as i watch the Dramas, i start to think to myself about my life and how i should live it. how i can develop my life and how i can grow and be independent. i also think about humans. how weird human beings are sometimes. including me. especially dramas about problems typical teenagers face. yes, i know, other stories from USA and even Singapore also has teenaged problems. but somehow none of them actually make me think. oh.. you know what i mean..





i find human beings to be weird creatures sometimes. i derive this from watching One Litre of Tears. a sad but true story of a 15-yr-old girl facing a cruel disease, Spinocerebellar Degeneration(SCD). slowly, her normal body functions begin to deteriorate until she finally left this world at the very young age of 25.watch out for my next post. i might just tell you more about it. anyway, i remember some lines. "why me? why did the disease choose me?" this reminds me of something people would say if their loved ones were to get the disease instead. "why you? why not me?" typical. it's the human mind. but isn't this somewhat contradictory to the point that it might even be ironic? but who can be blamed? you do not want to get sick. neither do you want the person you love be sick.





this in turn makes me think; why are there even sickness in the world? why are there such negativity? why are there the existence of 'riots', 'wars', and 'conflicts'? let us not talk about the opening of Pandora's Box, whoever in the Greek Mythology did it. nor are we going to talk about the Yin and Yang of the world. the balance between good and evil. are you sure that the world is too good that a little evil is needed? now, isn't the world tilting more to the negative side instead of staying balanced? so why are there still negativity?



i cannot think of anymore right now..i will.. oh.. wait.. correction.. i MIGHT type more if i think of anything else.. or IF i'm not too lazy.. hehh. =P okay then. bye. =)

love,
EFJ

okie dokie. a friend had asked me to update a long long time ago, but i just couldn't get into blogger. God knows why. and so, i am currently using my dad's lappie to do it. so far, i've gotten my 'O' Levels Prelims results.





L1R4 = 18.


L1R5 = 28.





yeahh.. i'm THAT dumb.. =)





but no worries. i shall try my very best in the 'O's. i shall not lose. yeah.. all talk and no act.





anyway, on one Friday, we went to Changi to play with sparklers(bunga api) and bomb bag. but a group of police officers approached us and said that there was a probability of being jailed for 6 months for playing bombags. so we played poker instead. haha. my dad, my younger sister, my younger brother, and me. and my dad finished first. like duhh.. he's the expert in these type of games. pair-call, oker, black jack, you name it, he knows it. my sister second, and me third. hehh. even when my dad helped him played, my younger brother was last. HAHH!



ok.. enough of that..



Ramadhan was not as festive as past years. no, i did not mix up my Muslim Months. Ramadhan has always been a busy month for the whole family.. but somehow, this year lacks something which really frustrates me, seeing that i can't exactly figure it out.



then, Syawal. it's supposed to be a month of festivities and such. but why isn't it so this year? maybe it's just me, or maybe it really does. but i don't want to feel this way! last year, i was so excited and kept asking my friends when they planned to go jalan. this year, however, everytime i feel like asking, my tongue got tied, as my logical thinking fills my brain with reasons as to why there will not be any jalan-ing this year. GAAHH!! frustrating shits!


okay. so.. Sorry my dears for not updating sooner.. i was either too lazy.. or i was.. too lazy. xP pick one. =P

anyway, i can't think of anything right now, and i know my post is crappy.. but heck care. at least i posted something. i updated something that happened(though i seem to forget most) AFTER 6TH SEPTEMBER 2007.. woah!! that's like so long ago.. like ages ago.. gosh.. i'm truly sorry.. yeah well, SOMEONE has been reminding me that my last post was on the 6th of September.. =P uwekk.. at least i have a blog. i keep begging you to do one, but what do you say? "alah malas arh.. leceh arh.." aka.. so lazy.. so troublesome.. yeah.. this is a very lazy person, i tell you.. uwekk =P

okay.. buhbye =) i can't think of anything right now.. my mind is like so totalleh blank.. =/ bye =)

love,
EFJ
