haha i'm blogging almost every day! what a change from the once a week posts last time.

going to dbs bank at cck to apply for the TFL tomorrow. and feeling nervous about the lasik eval and surgery on tuesday. had it planned for the same day because i'd wanted to get it done earlier, since i've decided. hope i'll be suitable, and there won't be any related complications.

i've booked the pre-lasik eval for tuesday, surgery on the same day. haha hope i won't suay suay be unsuitable for lasik, will post again when i'm able to a few days after surgery.

went to the library again, to return books and borrow some more. bookworm! bookworm! haha, a lot of people will call me that. must remind myself not to be too engrossed and let my eyes rest. enjoying my free time, and happy because there's still a month of it left. still haven't settled the TFL and uni medical check-up. will go for them soon!

bye bye!

the pain's very little now, n intermittent. haha good! maybe it isn't appendicitis after all.

went for a chicken pox vaccination earlier in the morning. won't get CP le! but still have one more dose in abt 6 wks time. strange how almost every one has gotten it. the standard price for the vaccine is $123.60, if u go to singhealth polyclinics. cheaper than private clinics haha.

will be making an appt for the pre-lasik eval for next week. can't delay anymore bcos school's starting soon, in a month's time. i hope it'll go well!

friday's here. happy weekend!

wasn't sure what type of medicine the doc gave for the abdominal pain, so i went to check it up.

biology's useful after all! haha, see the paragraph below? talked abt acetylcholine, and smooth muscle contraction, and the blocking of e receptors.

the medicine i had is called dhacopan, but the generic name is: Hyoscine-N-butylbromide. its an antispasmodic, used to relieve abdominal pain caused by painful spasms in the muscles of the gastrointestinal tract.

Smooth muscle contractions are caused by the neurotransmitter-acetylcholine. These contractions are not under our conscious control and we are not normally aware of them. However, if the muscles go into spasm this can cause pain.

Hyoscine prevents acetylcholine from acting on the muscle, by blocking the receptors on the muscle cells that the acetylcholine act on. Therefore, Hyoscine reduces muscle contractions. This allows the muscle to relax and reduces the painful spasms.

i hope the pain goes away soon!

have been feeling pain around the appendix area, i hope its not a case of appendicitis.

saw a doc this morning, he said it may be, but to observe for a day or two if the pain got worse. prescribed pills for abdominal colic, since then the pain has been less.

i hope e pain will pass, then no need go hosp le. have a good night!

my last day of work has ended. feeling sad n a little confused now, having lost the routine i've gotten used to for the past six months. waking up, taking the bus to e station, then e train, then e bus again, to reach my workplace. i wish i wouldn't feel so sad abt leaving, knowing it wasn't permanent to start with. thank you, my colleagues! for making my short time there a wonderful, enriching n memorable one.

i should begin preparing nw! haha, read up some n understand the basics of accounting. there're quite a few uni admission admin things to complete too. i've received the letter for successful appeal, to my home course Accountancy.

going for a chicken pox vaccination on monday. n meeting with shima to get e certs too! then going to nus to submit my acceptance form.

have a happy happy weekend!

yeah! last week of work! haha happy.

going to collect e certs with shima next wk, haven't seen my friends for v long haha, happy too! feel quite lonely sometimes at the workplace. there's been a sales re-org there, so i have to work for a manager who's very efficient but nt very nice all the time. again felt very stressed, like last yr when i just started, haha. bcos he give, i do, he give, i do again haha! like never ending.

good night!

ahaha, friday! but my weekend hasn't begun, haha. have work tomorrow.

my work's finally ending, in a wk's time. though happy, i will miss the people i know from work very much! when there wasn't much to be happy about, they joke n brought a lot of laughter. as for me, i started out timid and found myself under stress, told to do urgent tasks. but they've really taught me a lot, n made me feel as if i were one of their own, and not just a temp. thank you, my dear colleagues!

yawn!! haha tired! and its only tuesday. decided to have my last day of work next friday, to give more time to find a replacement. as for tuition, it hasn't been smooth-going. find it more n more difficult to make him listen, because i won't scold, and cannot get him interested in listening to me..

i wish i were a better teacher! but i don't know how. how do i make my lessons fun and constructive at the same time?

seeing him being rude to his elders at home, i feel disappointed and something else i can't describe. i think it still comes down to the parents to teach their children these values.

i've always thought to teach him for a yr at the least, aft his end-of-yr exams. but i feel like a useless and lousy teacher. and trying to make him listen is very tiring. can i take this load off my shoulders and give it up?

hey! haha haven't been here for a wk, saturday's here again!

had to work today, n slept for 2 hrs earlier, haha so my weekend has just started. i've brought forward my last day of work, it'll end next wk. good bcos i can finally relax, but now that its ending, i'm again having mixed emotions, haha.

my time there has almost been half a year. seeing and talking to them everyday, i find i've grown to have feelings for them. it feels sad knowing i can't see them anymore. i have to move on, this is only a temporary phase of my life, these things i tell myself, but i still feel sad leaving.

i'm planning to have my pre-lasik evaluation soon, the week after my work ends. i've read abt the different procedures available, n understand a bit about the complications that may result, but still want to regain my vision without glasses. have been short-sighted since primary one, n worn them till now. but before going for the eval, i'll read up some more.

i've been playing restaurant city on facebook! haha its a really cute game, do try it out! just type Restaurant City at the search toolbar, n can start your own restaurant haha. good night!
