For about 10 days, 17–27 January thereabouts, I was pretty much knocked out again, sleeping most of the time, feeling exhausted, and only remembering scattered bits and pieces. I think this time it's related to the epilepsy medicine I was taking. A few days before I was told to increase my dosage since I was still far from the effective dosage. Either way, I had an appointment recently with the neurologist who prescribed the medicine and he figured my body just wasn't good with the medicine, so we're trying an older kind of medicine with lesser side-effects instead (reportedly only slight nausea, unless I'm allergic to it). He seems pretty certain I have epilepsy or at least something physiological, and I remain skeptical, although it's hard say cos other doctors have stated that he is good.

I also informed my oncologist (a "cancer doctor") and he is curious about my case. There were no such records of a link between my childhood leukaemia and epilepsy so he doesn't believe that my cancer is linked to this somehow.

But enough about that, my birthday was last Sunday! It wasn't too eventful, just mostly well-wishes and food. Not that I'm bummed out about that but I guess I feel too old for gifts? Perhaps food is enough to sate me now. Daniel Tee took me out for a dinner at Ippudo, not a bad Japanese restaurant. Here's a picture for you (I didn't get take a picture of everything as the rest of the items took too long to come):

Wow, a picture on this blog? That's rare.
