What's 53 bites?
Hey guys...just got back from my siesta at Tioman today and man!! was this one eventful trip.
First off, i got 53 sand fly bites. Yes. 53 goddamned bites! And i think there might be more...but i decided to stop counting at 53...it's quite scary when you know you've been bitten by that many insects. It's madness...and the majority of the bites are on my left leg. On my left leg alone, there are already 32 bites. Omigod..how on earth am i ever gonna wear a skirt again? Apparently, they leave scars!!!!!!! *faint* I am so dead....
Just take a look at this!!! If anyone out there knows how to cure sandfly bite scars, let me know! I will be eternally grateful. Currently, I'm squeezing lemon juice and rubbing the rind on it to help cure the itch. The lemon stings like mad...but works....for a while. *sigh*
To think, there were zillions of pesky, no-good and altogether annoying sandflies lying in wait for fresh flesh on the white sandy pristine beaches of Tioman.
Oh man....and on top of that, I managed the impossible feat of getting sunburnt on my head. Yeah...my head. I actually managed to roast my scalp...it's now an angry red underneath my hair. I think i've lost some hair as a result too...*cry*
I guess, it'll start to peel sooner or later..considering that my sunburnt scalp is pretty sore. And then i'll look like i have dandruff.
Damn.
I need to go nurse my wounds now..hahaha...will post nicer (read: not gross pic of insect bites) pictures soon. Ciao.
