went home to surf net n slp.. dunno y i so sleepy.. maybe due to my eye infection. it has gotten worse than yesterday, despite me taking the antibiotics n applying the eye-cream. tink my surgery nxt week is more or less confirmed liao...

went out for dinner wif my family, den went to see my grandma. went home after dat.

dunno whether i shd go sparks dis wkend.. maybe not, wif my eyes in this condition. n definitely not when wearing a splint.

to compensate for the boring entry today, here's some interesting pics about a tomato which looks like a lanjiao:

woke up at 11.20 today and rushed to CGH to see the specialist about my wrist, not knowing that i'd spend literally the entire day there. the doctor checked my hand, looked at my x-ray films, n decided to give me physiotheraphy n steroids n warned me that if the problem still persists i might need to go for an operation to realign my tendons. i decided to forego the steroids due to the side effects n the risk of my tendon tearing if i use it too much. for the physiotheraphy, they made a splint for my hand, so as to avoid straining my thumb accidentally due to impacts. after the appointment, i decided to go to the A&E dept to see the doctor about my swelling eyelid.

the waiting time at A&E for totally horrible. 2 hours just to see the doctor, whereby the doctor referred me to the specialist immediately. another hour gone. n my stomach was growling. the eye doctor made some checks to my eye, n said something about inflammation of sweat glands n stuff. she gave me 2 choices - to haf a surgery immediately to remove the pus in my eyelid, or try some medication. i chose the latter, onli to regret it now.. cuz getting more n more painful. she'll have to perform the surgery next week if tings still don't get better.

after all dis waiting crap, i went to the tuckshop there to let it all out. gorged on 1) a mutton pau 2) a carrot cake 3) a bowl of meesoto. went home, feeling damn shagged.. fell into a deep sleep and when i woke up it was 11pm.

Pimple in the Eye

Help!!! Got a pimple grow inside my eyelid.. Damn painful.. =(.. muz be retribution for laughing at leonard when he kenna..

Had a bz day of work today, as I had to finish all my stuff cuz it was supposedly my last day at work before going for 2 days off, then to BMT. Went Simpang for dinner wif my colleagues, den home.

Had a chat over the fone, internet, and basically did basically nothing, until at around 11.30 when my sis decided to drive around juz for the fun of it. feeling superly-bored at home, i decided to tag along. Managed to get to see the latest modification my sis made to her car - changing the air-intake grill.

we went to Kallang to meet my sis's fren for a drink 1st. All car-siao.. tok abt cars, mods, n even stickers, etc. he decided to leave at ard 1, n having nth to do, i suggested going to fisherman's village cuz i wanted to know if it would still be open at this hour. after we reached pasir ris beach, it started drizzling, but we went on aniwae. most of the stalls at fisherman's village were closed, except perhaphs the bar there. miserable.

both of us were feeling abit hungry, so my sis drove us to Newton Circus for supper. Though LOTs of stalls were still open at that hour, the variety of food was rather limited. the usual indian stuff (roti-prata, roti-john, etc), bbq seafood, n fried kuay teow n carrot cake. All fattening food, until i came across a stall wif soup prawn mee. went wif beehoon as it was the least fattening of all, n was surprised when the food was being served - there was very minimal oil in the soup. n really lots of prawn - 5 to be exact.

went straight home after dinner, where we juz walked around the carpark, looking at ppl's roadtaxes n admiring n criticizing cars. i tink my hopes abt my dad passing me his Honda Accord r slowly beginning to change, cuz i don't tink i can afford the roadtax.. $970+ for half a year!??! tink i'll be better off with a Ford Focus. or a BMW 318i for that matter.

Basically another wake-up-late n watch-MaSiaoLing day today.. spent some time surfing ard the web aimlessly. in the evening Ron wanted to ask me out to play ghost squad but i didn't cuz i was gonna meet Minghao for some drinks n chat later on.

Gary called mi to chat in the evening, n i was quite surprised as it has been some time since we've last called each other. was worried about growing fat as i couldn't really do much exercise due to the worsening condition of my hand, so i desperately tried to shed some weight by walking ard the tall staircase n steep slopy areas near my house after dinner. walked past sennett drive, lucky heights, malay cemetery, etc. i purposely walked around in circles so as to waste time as there was still a handful of time before meeting Minghao.

at ard 10 sharp, i reached the kopitiam where we always used to meet. Minghao had juz came straight for the gym, so we went back to his house for him to put his stuff. we have not met for like half a year, so we had quite alot to catch up wif. abt how we celebrated xmas, new year, etc. abt wad we plan to do in the future. abt wad we r currently doing, etc.

we settled down at the kopitiam behind Ming's hse later on. had 2 rounds of tea, n chitchat all the way. it was quite a great conversation, as we realized how so much has happened although time flew by so fast. n the memories juz kept coming back.. chatted till ard 11, den we went to 7-11 to get sth before heading home.

Didn't really plan much for today, cuz i'm on standby for mobilisation. But in the end no mobilisation though.. phew.. woke up at ard 12, listened to some music n watched Wo He Jiang Shi You Ge Yue Hui 3 VCDs. after getting hooked for 5 episodes, i realized it was time to meet Eddy at tampines, so i changed, grabbed my bag n flew off.

it was raining quite heavily outside, but i decided to wait for a cab in the rain instead of taking a bus as i was partially lazy n oso partially didn't want to be late. initially we wanted to catch a Seed of Chucky at century square, but it the show had already started when we reached the ticket booth, so we decided to forgo the movie. Instead, we headed straight to billy bombers for dinner. it was quite a feast - we ordered 2 fish n fries set meal n a plate of buffalo wings. we gorged ourselves n tok alot of kok along the way. maybe so carried away by the conversation that we forgot about the dessert totally. i decided to foot the bill as i've not given Eddy a treat for damn long liao.

Eddy still had a bit of time before booking in, so we walked around tampines, and at the same time, looking for shops with photocopying services as Eddy wanted to fotocopy some map stuff. Searched high n low - either the shop didn't have the service or the machine's spoil. In the end we managed to find one after moving the the streets opposite Sogo.

the clock was slowly ticking towards 8.15. i accompanied Eddy to pasir ris interchange, den took bus 12 home from there. no weird encounters dis time, though.

recently, i keep having dreams about the past. abt how fun n happy life was before ns. abt the places i've been to wif my frens, tings we did, etc. my greatest regret is about why i didn't mix around wif frens n enjoy my life until poly dat time. wasted childhood/teenage. juz hope dat i can have even more adventure n frens after ns.

i'll post some unforgettable memories onto my blog someday...

Due to the physically n mentally taxing activities of yesterday, i could onli pull myself out of the bed at 2pm today. actually i remember looking at the clock at 11am, but didn't manage to last for a minute before the guards of dreamland caught me back. aniwae, i checked my fone and the 1st and only sms i saw was a new year greeting from Minghao. I've haven been in contact wif him for like months, n i was damn happy dat he messaged me. we had a short chat over the fone, n i managed to get his msn address so i could at least do some catching-up wif him over msn.

i almost screamed the moment i stepped onto the hard parquet floor of my room - my toes hurt like hell! muz be the after-effects of playing soccer barefooted when i'm rough enough to kick ppl's legs again n again.

bearing wif the pain, i did some stretching, until i could finally stand properly on both feet. did nothing much in the day, juz taught Raymond how to mud.

initially i thought i was going to have to spend a boring nite at home when calls started coming in. my dad wanted to bring us out for dinner. Ron n Ro wanted to go marina play ghost squad. In the end, my dad cancelled/postponed the dinner outing n i rushed down to marina to meet Ron n Ro.

Aearon fetched mi from marina south mrt station to the arcade on his bike when i reached the mrt station. cuz of the cold weather recently, the wind was so damn shiok thruout the ride. freezing-cold wind slamming into the face n limbs. whoo!

in the arcade, i played a game of para para, den went to watch ppl play ghost squad. didn't really dare to try hard mode after the last time my legs wobbled like jelly when i tried. Aearon played the last stage for mi.. still see him as my para para teacher.. wahaha.. after that we went back to watch another game of ghost squad, den went to bukit merah to meet up wif Guan. after that we decided to go boat quay. Guan took Ro's bike while i took Aearon's. going to boat quay at nite really brings back memories.. sweet memories which i'm going to relive one day. we juz sat there n tok cok abt army stuff, n gals. After some time Ron decided to go Tan Tock Seng hospital to see his sis cuz she had been involved in a traffic accident wif her kids.

Upon reaching the hospital, we started looking for some dunno-wad screening station, which was apparently hard to find as it wasn't included in the building directory. we went to the A&E ward in the end, n found the shit screening station there. Aearon's 2nd sis (Maurine) was already there, n soon after she went back into the ward to accompany the other sis (Daurine), while we went to get a drink. There was this same sandwich machine which tp had in the business sku. i decided to be adventurous n try out the quality of the sandwich there, onli to be disappointed once again. we grabbed some drinks n another sandwich for Maurine. soon, the doctor decided for Daurine to be discharged. we started to go to walked to the vehicle-waiting-point, n along the way, we slowly knew wad happened. in short, it was about some cab driver who drove when he was drowsy, causing a collision. n right after the collision, he only cared about calling his insurance cumpany n shit like that, instead of asking the victims if they were okay n calling the ambulance. fuck. dis kind of ppl really deserve to be locked up in a cab n get bulldozed over. Aearon's family n his brother-in-law's family came, n they brought her n Maurine home. Guan had went to the A&E to seek consultation for his *cough* in the meantime, n so we were sitting at the vehicle-waiting-point waiting for his call. he called twice, n he made it a point to cough at least once each call. n in the end, the diagnosis was chest infection, but we didn't sound very convinced... wahhaha..

after Guan finally came back, we sent him home n went back to marina for another arcade session. in addition to ghost squad, i played another game of para para, hard mode this time. was quite surprised that i could actually complete a 6-star stage. we also played percussion freaks, thanks to my suggestion n craving to listen to the Mr Children songs there. each of us took 2 percussions, n could clear the 1st 2 stages easily. we lost on the 3rd stage though.

despite the time nearing to 3am, Ron n Ro sent me home. the wind had gotten colder dis time, n the ride along the expressway was even more fun. at one point, it was drizzling n i could feel the rain firing onto my limbs with extreme force.. felt like being poked by needles all over.

we reached my house at ard 3.30. had had another enjoyable nite wif Ron, Ro n Guan.
