Eye check up

For the past few days, I kept feeling that there's something in my right eye that's making it feel uncomfortable. This feeling started something on last wed iirc.

I went to see the doctor nearby my work place after lunch on friday because for some reason or other, my right eye became very red some time after lunch. I was also thinking of seeing a doctor if that uncomfortable feeling dun go away so I dun see any reason for me to delay seeing the doctor about my eye anymore.

The doctor briefly looked at my eye before telling me that she suspected that the uncomfortable feeling I had was most probably due to an eyelash getting into my eye. Somehow I doubt it's the eyelash that caused the trouble. After all the feeling came consistently from the same spot and I doubt the eyelash wun move after me rubbing my eyes so many times lor. She gave me an eye drop for application which after applying, I think is of total no use to me. :P

As the uncomfortable feeling persisted all the way until today, thus I decided to go see an eye specialist today after my work and badminton session with my colleagues. I travelled all the way down to Yishun from Redhill. I managed to reach the clinic only at 8+ which was quite lucky for me as the clinic closes at 9pm. :P

After diagnosing, the doctor said that my eye had an allergy thus causing all the problems. He told me that I had sensitive eyes so I had to try to wear sunglasses whenever I am out in the sun. I also had to clear away whatever stuffed toys I had on my bed. He also gave me a list of food that I should try to take less. My worst fears came true when I saw the list of food I should take less... Cheese, chocolates, ham... and the list goes on.... Almost all my favorite food (Cheese, chocolates) appeared on the list... How can I live my life without chocolates~! I can only comfort myself telling myself that he only said to consume less of them and not ban from consuming them... :'(

Ta da... Let's welcome my new wardrobe...

For years the wardrobe that my sis and I are sharing has been bursting from all the clothes that my sister and I had. I dun exactly remember when it started, but somehow the collection of clothes in my wardrobe started expanding. Maybe it's because my sis started work so she had to start buying clothes to wear to her office. Or maybe I have started have the habit of shopping for clothes every now and then. Whatever the reason is, my parents finally decided that it is finally time for us to stop torturing the poor wardrobe and get one more wardrobe so that we have more room for our clothes collection to expand.

As the room that my sis and I are sharing is too small to put in another wardrobe, my parents decided that one of us have to give up our bed and sleep on the mattress so that there will be enuff space for the new wardrobe to live in. I ended up being the one sacrificing my bed and have to 'prepare' a bed for sleep every nite. Actually I can choose to sleep in my brother's bed since he works nite shift but I think I will still prefer to sleep in my own room. :P

They tore down my bed on Fri nite as the wardrobe is coming in on Sat morning. The wardrobe arrived at my house at around 10 am. After discussing, we decided that I shall be the one using the new wardrobe. I happily transferred all the clothes I have in my old wardrobe to the new one which did not even take up half of the wardrobe. I am finally relieved from having to squeeze my clothes into the wardrobe... It is definitely no easy task to try squeezing clothes into a wardrobe that is bursting with clothes wor...

After transferring all the clothes in, I looked at the old wardrobe and told my sis, "Sis, I think I take out my clothes like never take out like that." The old wardrobe is still bursting with clothes even after I took out all my clothes. I always knew that at least 70% of the clothes in the wardrobe belongs to her but looks like I have underestimate her. I think 90% of the clothes in the wardrobe belongs to her instead. She could not believe that I had already taken out all my clothes from the old wardrobe. The wardrobe looks as full as before I took out my clothes. I din even realised that I actually only have so few clothes. :P Think I have more excuses to go shopping in the future. :P

As fr my sis, I think it's time for her to do another spring cleaning or else, cut down on her shopping or I doubt the wardrobe will be big enuff for her no matter how big it is... :P

Trip to JB

I made a trip to JB with Benny today as he wanted to make his contact lenses. We had heard how cheap it is to make glasses and contact lenses over there. Since he needed a new pair so we decided to go over there and see if it's really as cheap as what everyone says...

We met up with Yiqun and WenShi outside City Square since they are back to JB for the weekend. Anyway it will be good for them to be around since they will be able to bring us around. After all this was like only the 3rd trip I made to JB lor or rather more like the 2nd trip I made and the 1st time I went there I just followed my friend all the way lor... :P

Since it was already around 11+ when we reached JB, we decided to head off for lunch before the hunt for the contact lenses. :P Wenshi brought us to a place for bak gu teh. Very yummy...

After lunch we headed out to Pelangi where they are supposed to have quite cheap contact lenses. Somehow or other, we din find the prices of the contact lenses very cheap. So disappointing.... After shopping around for a while, we went to kopibean to rest our feets and chit chat for a while before heading down to City Square.

We continued hunting around for Benny's contact lenses while shopping at the same time. Yiqun left us earlier to go home. We had our dinner at the Marry Brown in City Square. I quite like the deco there... Quite nice...


I think the food there is like a mixture of KFC, A&W and Malay food. Why? Because Benny ordered their Nasi Lemak and Curly Fries


while I ordered their....


Kid's Meal~! :P I wasn't feeling particular hungry then but I wanted to try out their chicken to see which is nicer, KFC or Marry Brown. So I took the kid's meal since it comes with one piece chicken. :P


I find their chicken not much different from KFC but the nasi lemak rice is very nice~! Their curly fries reminded me of the curly fries from A&W that I missed so much... :'(

Benny finally settled on a brand of contact lenses and we left shortly after that as we did not want to be caught in a jam. I ended up buying 2 tops and a pair of shoes even though I din have any intention to go shopping. :P

The way back was quite bad as there were a lot of people everywhere. Luckily we were not caught in the jam and managed to return to Singapore quite fast. The only delay was probably only at the Customs as there were so many people around everywhere. I am definitely glad to be back home... :P

Taiwan Delights

I was out with Benny and his friends yesterday. We went over to this place call Taiwn Delights which is located somewhere in Katong.


The menu at Taiwan Delights


The food there quite ok lah but not very fantastic also... I tried the Smelly Tofu there.... :P Their smelly tofu is not very smelly also. Still quite ok. At least I think the smell of the Smelly Tofu at the pasar malam in Jurong East there sure beats it. I think their Yan Su Ji taste quite good. Their Hei Zhua Nai Cha also very nice... ^^

After dinner we went over to the Settlers Cafe in Katong. We actually wanted to go to the Board Game Paradise in Marine Parade but too bad it closed down. Heard its very nice wor...

Anyway we took the standard package and played 2 hours of games there. We played Modern Art, Giza and Take 6. The games are still quite ok lah. Had quite a fun time there. Maybe we can go there another time and take the seats upstairs. :P

Hike at Khatib Busong

I joined my poly lecturer, his friends and some of his students for a hike at Khatib Busong on 19 March. It's been quite a while since we went for a hike together. We used to go hiking almost once every 2 weeks to some ulu ulu place just to c if there's anything interesting. That was before his wife got pregnant and gave birth to his daughter. Now we just go hiking together once in a blue moon... :P

Anyway we met up at 9 in the morning and set off for our hike. There's not much to see this time round, but we came upon this fish farm inside the forest. There were quite many people fishing there wor...

We came upon this group of people who look like they are foreign workers while we were hiking. I'm still wondering till this day whether they are illegal immigrants because I dun think you will find anyone who likes to gather together in the forest rite? I thot they usually gather in orchard behind the Orhcard Mrt where you can find many Filipino too? They even sai xian yu (salted fish) there wor... That was the first time I see people do that wor...

I'm looking forward to the next hike... Dunno when will it be...

Recent updates in my life...

It's been ard 2 weeks plus since I last update this blog. Hee... how come it took my so long to update? Cos I'm recently hooked to this Japanese Drama called H2 that Fred passed to me. Very nice... ^o^ Hee... so I end up watching one episode on my pc every night and after which I will go straight off to bed so I'm left with no time to come online. :P I have just started watching a new Jap Drama that Fred passed to me. Quite nice also but I have only watched 3 episodes so far... Will try to finish it soon... :P

Been quite busy working my project also. My group mates and I are most probably the only group that start working on our project only two weeks before the project is due for submittion. :P Still a bit more to complete after which we will be working on our presentation. This presentation will have a 30 percent on my grade for this module. So must work hard wor...

I got my results for my last semester liao... Not very great results consisting of Bs and Cs. But I think I'm quite satisfied with it liao considering the fact that I didn't get any Ds. :P But I was hoping that I can get a A for my Mangerial Finance but I got a B+ instead. Never mind.... I shall try harder for my other modules. :)

Ok lah... That's about all that I have for my recent updates. Will update on interesting food or places that I have eaten or been to recently later when I have time. ^o^

Where has all my time gone to?

I have been feeling kinda busy nowadays. "Been feeling" seems weird rite? Cos it's either you are busy or you are not. But believe me, I keep having the feeling that I am busy but yet I dun really seem so. This leaves me still wondering if I really am busy or not. *confused*

I am supposed to have a lot of time on my hands especially after my exams when my vacation module just started. Somehow, for some reason, I dun seem to have enuff personal time for myself. I dun even seem to be able to come online anymore either. Today is probably the first time in many days when I have the time to blog. Maybe I have time lah. Just that I seem to be feeling tired recently and went to bed slightly earlier than last time. I'm still trying to decide if it's good or bad. :P But I guess this is probably the main reason why I feel that I am busy when I'm actually not. Because coming online is one of the time I really relax at home ba... At least I can chat with my friends when I'm online...

For most people, the time after their exams are probably the best time. After all it's normally the school holidays after the exams. For me it's kinda different especially when I am taking the advance diploma course.

The time after exams is probably the worst time for me because I will be busy for my vacation module. Nothing much has change cos I will still hav lessons every Mon, Wed and Fri. The difference is probably only having to see the same lecturer and taking lessons for the same module every alternate days. The biggest difference is that I have my CA1 2 weeks after my lessons starts and I have to submit my assignment within 3 to 4 weeks after the module starts. That leaves me with almost no time to do anything else. So sianzzz.... *I bet Fred will wonder again why I seems to be always complaining nowadays...*

I absolutely dun have the mood to go for lessons nowadays. Dunno why also. Skipped quite a few lessons liao. For example today, I went to Isetan with my colleagues for shopping instead of going for my lessons. :P But sad to say there isn't anything to buy... :'( Sian... I want buy bag, shoes, clothes... hai...

Think it's time for me to buck up and go for my lessons especially when I still have my FYP to work on too.... *Starts to psycho myself no more skipping of lessons*
