stupid camp.. today friday supposed to knock off at 5 den dunno y everyone delay until 6.30 den leave camp.. reach home 7 liao..

went home, shit, change n pack my stuff, den went down to aljunied mrt station platform to meet Laibao. at dat point of time, we haven even decided where to go.. it was onli when the train passed by bugis dat we remember we haven decide.. so, we decided on bugis in the end.

i still dun understand my recent attraction towards toy stores. seems like i wanna go into every toy store n look at every single piece of toy down there, save, hello kitty n barbie doll. wanted to look for dat ant's nest (yes, for rearing REAL ants.. they can go in but can't come out), but was disappointed to find out that they dun sell it. continued down to v8 to look at some electronics. planning to get a digital camera with optical zoom. no good deals there. aniwae we juz walked ard, wif Laibao attracted towards cd shops n vcd shops as usual.

was getting kindda famished, but i wanted to let Laibao try subway, so we headed towards suntec. didn't go to the subway at shaw tower cuz i haven been to the one at suntec for ages. passed by auntie annie's along the way, n i grabbed a pretzel juz out of curiosity as i've never tried it before.

we passed by the fountain of wealth as well, n i was talking lots of crap abt why we should not touch the fountain - about bangalahs wiping their asses wif their hands n touching the fountain, abt ppl who live in the drain coming to touch the fountain (of cuz i was exaggerating), etc.. when we reached subway, Laibao had no idea on how to order tings there, so i ordered mine so Laibao could c. had a teriyaki chicken sandwich n 2 cookiez. i was like gonna burst after eating that in addition to the pretzel i've had earlier on. n to tink that those old folks always say that u can never get full on bread...

after our subway, we decided to walk around. found an IT show crap in the halls of suntec, n decided to have a look-see to see if i can find any good digital cameras. i managed to find a good one (canon powershot n some model number) at $349. catch is, it's a time limited offer which would end in 2 days time, n i have to wait until i collect my angpao before i can buy it. dammit. then i experienced a very sucky feeling again - tink it's due to the coke i took at subway, i kept having to go to the toilet =(..

most of the shops had closed by then, n we still wanna walk, so i suggested esplanade n the river there. partial reason was i wan Laibao to listen to some funny, but vulgar, ringtones, n we haf to find a spot where sound wouldn't project so easily. earlier on i had tried to let Laibao listen to one of them, onli to press someting wrong n the volume went haywire n it was too late before i could turn the volume off. hope no one remembers our faces. aniwaez, we made our way to esplanade via citylink.

i came across this chocolate shop at the esplanade, and they were have some chocolate-coated fresh strawberries, n i decided to give it a shot. not very cheap though, $5 for 6 strawberries. but ahh.. it's ok to spend once in a while.. went to the river outside to walk, till we come across the merlion. considering it's so-called reputation, it's funny to see that there's actually an openable hatch on the merlion's back.. too bad i've forgotten to take a photo =(.. i've took lots of other pics though, including one shot to see if my camera fone can manage to capture the nite sky. i'll post them all up one day.

at ard 11, we started making our way back to city hall, buying n eating some ice-cream along the way. when we arrived at city hall mrt station, it wasn't the last train yet. took it back to aljunied with Laibao, then took a bus from Ho Kee Pau bus-stop.

waiting for Eddy to finish his field camp n book out nxt week so we can go eat Ho Kee Pau together.

went arcade wif Ron n Ro at nite. played ghost squad, para para, beatmania n percussion freaks. for ghost squad, i decided to be adventurous n used a pistol-like weapon.. found out dat my accuracy actually increased, but i landed in total hot soup after Aearon died n i had to play alone. for percussion freaks, we wanted to try some of the hard songs.. the 1st hard song we tried almost made me faint.. the bars were moving like SO DAMN FAST..

Hospitalization

Sorry dat i haven been updating my blog for so long.. Talking abt bad health luck this week, the worst came on friday..

was down wif gastric + diarrheoa earlier on friday, but didn't see the doctor cuz everytime i did, my fucked up colleagues will start saying tings like i'm trying to laze from my work n shit like that.. fuck the army.. by late afternoon i was starting to get a high fever, n felt damn weak n cold. i even fell when walking to pick a phone call. later on someone passed a remark abt me giving excuses from getting a diskette somewhere n i was so pissed i almost passed out. went to an aircon room to slp n teach one of them do some charts. dozed off in the chair.

later on i heard someone trying to wake me up. tried to open my eyes but juz couldn't.. it hurt whenever i juz try to open even a tiny slit in my eye. i tried to open my mouth to speak, but couldn't - cuz i felt very breathless n was breathing very hard. worse of all, my entire body juz felt so numb.. it was like as if i was dead.

felt someone trying to pull me up from the chair, n subsequently a tremendous pain on my legs n hands. worst than any other physical pain i've experienced before.. felt like all my muscles were so tight that they would burst any moment. n can't remember much after dat, juz haf some faint impressions of feeling a horrible coldness n ppl asking me to open my eyes.

when i woke up i found myself in the hospital. the doctor told me some stuff i couldn't understand n placed me on drip. my mum n my sis were here.

later on i was transferred to a ward to stay. my first thoughts were 'oh shit.. wkend wasted..'.. aniwae i managed to walk right rather soon though there was some kind of cramp in my calf.. n i looked like a crab walking sideways. went to the toilet, changed into the stupid patient clothes n accepted the horrible fate of having to spend my fri nite or even the whole of saturday in a hospital. was so damn tired after the entire episode, so i slept soundly throughout the night, besides waking up to eat some food my dad brought, n to go for my xray.

lots of new patients were suddenly admitted into my ward the next morning. this swarm of doctors then surrounded me n started bombarding me wif questions like 'did u feel numbness?', 'did u see white spots of light?', etc. at about late afternoon, my family came to visit me, n to pass me my other hp. tings were starting to get quite boring, so i decided to sleep till evening. my mum came back in the evening with my earpiece n charger, so tings was starting to get better. soon the visiting hours were over, but i was very sure Ron n Ro would come. whoo.. indeed.. we talked quite alot of crap n soon the nurse came to 'invite' them out cuz maybe she cannot stand our crap.. after they left i juz stucked my earpiece into my ears n listened to music until abt 11.. tried to slp but couldn't, probably due to too much sleep in the afternoon n the discomfort caused by the stupid drip. tried to sweettalk the melayu nurse into removing the drip a couple of times, but she keeps saying 'doctor sae cannot'..

tossed n turned around in bed till ard 2 before getting knocked out. the doctor came soon after i woke up. considering that the ONLY good ting abt staying in the hospital is the food at cgh, i decided to trick the doctor into discharing me today.
'any pain?': 'no.'..
'cough better?': 'yes..' (wtf.. i never had a cough until dis morning).
'still got diarrheao?': 'no..'..
'alrite.. tink u can be discharged today. u stay at home and rest for the next 3 days.'
was kindda happy when i heard that. 3 days of mc in exchange for 1.5 days of wkend. i sms'ed my sis immediately, n prepared to pack my stuff. soon she came n drove me home.

and all this was just before i started typing this, besides the incident abt my bichir jumping out from his tank n i thought that a snake had juz made its way into my house n me having a hard time catching him cuz i was worried he might slither away if i try to grab it with my hands (my bichir can move DAMN fast on land.. tried n tested.).

keep u all posted tonite.
