One-eyed Jack for a Day

Ok let's take a break from all the house reports...

I've been having this stye/chalazion (in Hokkien we call it "bak jiam") for so many months. Close to half a year actually. Hehehe. It's not that I never took any medication to cure it but the minute it cures (pops) another one grows back in its place within the period of few days. I got fed up with it that I finally bit the bullet and went to see an eye specialist last Saturday to have it surgically removed.

I went to the the Oh eye specialist clinic at burmah road and it was my first time there! I was surprised to find a very classical looking clinic with classical looking instruments and hey! Even the doc is "classical looking" :x

The doctor first came in to look at my condition and he tried to clean my lids with a lid cleaner solution and he was so rough :( reminded me so much of how my dad used to clean our faces in the morning. Lol! It's a wonder I still went ahead with the procedure eh? Maybe because I felt kinda "comfortable" with him cos he reminded me of my dad in that aspect. Lol!

But just before the procedure, he told the nurses to treat me with "tender loving care". Lol. That's what he really said! And just before he injected me with the anaesthetics, he told me "bei thia eh" (it's not going to hurt) and one of the nurse quickly came and held my hands. Heehee. I felt so loved. *sobs*

And this was me on saturday...

Yep! I had to live with one eye for one full day on Saturday...this I did not bargain for cos I though it was going to be a fairly simple procedure and I would be running around in shopping malls after that. Apparently not! Anyway the bandage is off now, and my eye is recovering although it is watery and building up lots of eye wax. Heehee. Why, this morning my eyes were "taped" shut when I woke up! Lol! Ok everybody say "EEEEEwwwwwww"

Cliptec Earphone

I know this is a weird topic for me to post. I mean come on, i never blog about earphones (of all things!). lol. but i m just so sentimental towards my old earphone that i just had to blog about this.lameee...

anyway, long story cut short, i bought a new spanky earphone to replace my 10 year old Sony earphones! can you believe it???? I've had my old earphone for TEN years!!! This is my new earphone...

Buah Sukun aka Bread Fruit

Someone gave us sukun (bread fruit) last week. Sukun is one of my favouritest food! =) And i m always overjoyed to see buah sukun in the house :P

I love to eat it fried...

First, it is sliced thinly...

then deep fried to perfection!

it has a certain unique starchy taste which i absolutely love! do you like sukun?

Not another Monday!

Well well well...if its not another Sunday and with it comes Monday. Where did the weekends go??? It feels only like yesterday that I came back from work grinning happily from ear to ear on a Friday evening. I guess time really flies when you are enjoying yourself.

Sorry, no pics to blog about today as i had planned to bake a chocolate swirl cheesecake today but i went to 2 supermarkets and were unable to find a 250g cream cheese!!! its absurd!

It is raining heavily now, hope i can sleep well tonite. Cos i always have problems falling asleep on Sunday nights. I think it goes back to the school days when i always have difficulty falling asleep on Sunday nights before the start of a new school week. I dont know why it happens back then and i still dont know why i cannot sleep on Sunday nights now

New HiLites

wOOt wOOt...

i just got my hair highlighted on Saturday =)
i dyed my hair a month ago but it didnt turn up to be what i expected :(
(Red Sponge, maybe that's why you didn't hear me talk abt my hair after the visit to the saloon last month...wahaha)

but its ok...cos it provided my hair with a base color to do highlights on =)

It was a very last minute decision...done 30 mins before i stepped into the saloon...bwahaha i need to do more last minute decisions...sometimes its the only way i can get things done...

The Big Bad Scratch

Still remember the scratch i found on my car one day after work?

Well, 2 days ago i told my colleagues about my little dilemma and one of them offered to borrow me his scratch remover which he claims to be very effective...

Of cos i was very happy lah!!! At last...there's hope...
If this thing could work....i dont have to feel guilty everytime i want to open my car door...

First, clean up the area....

Apply the remover...

Then the instructions say you are supposed to use a cloth to apply pressure on the scratch and wipe it off.....

Wipe as hard as i could...

I even tried putting the remover 3 times ....

but..............

the scratch is still there!!! *bawls*

i think i have to fork out some money to send my car to a garage then =(
