RAMBLE: Oh... Polycythaemia

One of my essential things to do throughout the day is smoking. Smoking ciggarettes has become an addiction of mine since 2009. I then stopped for a year in 2010 but reconnect with its satanic buds the following years. I couldnt help but wonder, "can i stop smoking again?" Recently, i was asked to take blood samples for my medical check. I had to take 3 tests, in comparison with my friends who took only one test and got themselves approved. This medical check is significant for any participants who applied to study overseas.

First, the blood result for the first test failed due to the damaged outcome (i have no idea why and how). On the second try, glucose level is fine but found out that my red blood cell is really high... So, the doctor asked me to take another blood test to make sure if i were to be diagnosed with polycythaemia. That means, im unfit to carry out my COP next month which kinda bugs me right now.

Polycythaemia is a condition that have thicker blood, which makes it harder for oxygenated blood to circulate around the body. (copy & paste from a website) and One of the causes fot this condition is smoking.

So here i am, thinking about...

Quitting.

Wish me luck!
