the entry eyed after

bah, so carrying on about my pilgrimage to the eye-jabbing doctor...

my name was finally called by the nurse. i walked into the room with trepidation, and hands clutched tightly behind me. i sat on the chair and waited with bated breath whilst doctor sim analyzed my right eye. he was using this gargantuan, complex contraption that was made up of varying degrees of lenses, magnifying glasses, and a nozzle that shot jets of air into the eyeball. it was all too familiar.

no injections please, i prayed to myself. i couldn't possibly deal with the pain of another needle puncturing my eyeball. ha! the irony of it all.

the verdict: doctor sim made my day when he diagnosed the eye problem to be a case of conjunctivitis. so it was just the regular pink eye. a little eye drop would have sufficed. and of course, i had to be off contact lenses during the interim. i see the light!


me in post-consultation, ocular-preserving mode: geeky specky.

hmm... you look cute with that specs leh haha... u seem really jialat... Dailies u see as Daisies then now mong Gi u see as mong Qi... oh my oh my what happened to you??? :P

Is your eye sight really that poor that you need to wear glasses or contacts everywhere you go? reading that process of injecting in the eye is like imagining SAW "V" =p the treatment was injected without pain because of the anesthetics... but injecting the anesthetics into your eye not pain meh???

Anyway, take care... especially your eyes... what are colours without eyes? Isn't eye contact important to you, how you gonna do that without your eyes? haha i seen a photo that show serious conjunctivitis... tearing PUS-like substance out... (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjunctivitis) continuation of the SAW "V" scene... my god... stay handsome okay??? god bless...

P.S. shall remind u to take of ur contacts everytime i chat with u b4 u sleep haha... sorry I Care that's why so long okay... hugz =)

very nice specs, is it from oakley?

(palemoon) thanks for the concern. i think this serves as a good reminder which i might have forgotten down the road. in life, i think there are always lessons to be remembered, just that somehow our memory erodes over time. i'm just glad there were no more needles.

(rex) mong ju an is mong zhu yan. i get that now already. will check out your blog soon! thanks!

(anonymous) they are from versace. =]

(dancer) i am praying for the day i could slip on contacts again. honestly, it's much better now, guess it's a matter of days i will appear spec-less.
