Lab day on Haji

felt like an octopus today. running 4 experiments at a go, eating late lunch at 3.30 due to lack of "half-time break" Haji was spent in lab from 9am to 5.30pm. bleahhh

i'm quite crazy to squeeze all these in. esp when i'm sick and still recovering from Lasik.

i'm still having double vision!!! haha but tink it'll go away in around 1 week.

Bow hold

Went for lessons at Elizabeth's house today. I think I'll give up on the Curtis teacher liaoz. haha.

anyway, i've to change bow hold. need to change in order to maximise the volume i can produce on my cello. it's sth like change embrochure for brass playing. so it'll take around 2-3 months. i think.

so practices at home will be quite sian, playing repeated notes and long notes. but still quite necessary ba.

when elizabeth looked at Planet Earth, she said "you really wan to play ah?"

oops....

Grrr

i really hate my sister when she's being mean...

so angry i cried. and then felt stupid i actually cried cos of her being so mean. i shd have remained cool and bo hiu her.. den she'll realise that she's being crazy...

sorry i juz wan to blog. shutting myself in the room.

Dec Timetable

Seems like writing schedule is the in thing now. haha. This is my tentative December calendar. still have things to add like after 24Dec. dun think i'll go for the whole of band camp. :(

but i still wan to have fun! pls jio me out. haha!

PreLasik Assessment

Ended lab at 3.35pm, appt was supposed to be at 4pm. saw the Biopolis-NUH shuttlebus zoom past me, saw Bus 95 zoom past me. so.. i took 198 and WALK from AYE bus stop to NUH Kent Ridge Wing. haha. Reached LASIK centre at 4.04pm. think my calf muscles upped one level. haha!

the assessment was quite tiring for the eyes. for one of the test i've to push up the lids of my eyes and keep staring, and i'm not allowed to blink. then FLASHES of lights come up and blind me. 1st instinct is to blink ma. den cos of my instinct, I had to repeat the test alot of times cos she cant get a good image. keep tearing. sobzzz. and i was told that i have lazy eye and that my left eye was the dominant eye. actually i sort of noe this liaoz, and i've always have problem looking through the microscope due to the different alignment of the eyes. so today i learnt that this is called lazy eye aka Amblyopia.

the test was about 1 hour, including a video which educates patients about the LASIK procedure.

my doctor is Dr Lennard Theann who explains the different types of refractive surgery. and telling me that since i've thick enough cornea, i'm able to do LASIK, but may have risk of undercorrection.

read through the materials the person gave me le, quite nervous about it. but think that day i'll be even more anxious. garrrrrrrrrrrr....

Projek Cameron

hehe before the trip, i was having a SUPER hectic day. actually scheduled cello lesson b4 gg off but it was cancelled due to tcher's MC, so it was a blessing in disguise. had lab from 9am to 7pm. reached home at 7.30. bathe/ate dinner/finish packing and reached MRT station at 8.45pm. then went to catch the coach at Golden Mile Tower.

it was a winding road. luckily cheryl brought prochlorperazine for anti-emetics and it gave me quite a good rest too! haha. (though i was awakened quite soon after dozing off)

then there's a tour agent who told us about some packages. in the end, we signed up for the trekking package, the country-side tour and with the Leisure tour which was already in when we signed up at the SG side.

a brief summary of wat we did:
talking and looking at the mist coming out of the mouth
trekked up 2 mountains (i think i dun like trekking. haha. the thighs damn tired)
ate nice food like zhi cha and steam boat at half of SG price
buy strawberries/cherry tomato/gifts
visit tea plantations, rose centre, honey bee farm, strawberry farm
trying to catch sunrise
自拍 (that is for LC and cheryl. i'm really qt bad at it :P )
take pictures of nice sceneries

quite a "nature tour". and we all recall Prof Ho's saying "if you dun have Nature, u've no future". HAHAHA. ermz that quote was actually refering to Nature, the journal with high impact factor. but, funny to imitate his Hongkee's accent. :P

listened to iPod during the long coach rides and it was only then when i really listened to the lyrics of some songs. i normally dun listen to the lyrics. find most of them interesting. maybe it's how ppl can identify with the lyrics, that make them like songs. (for me it's usually the opposite, i mean i listen and like the melody first) okiez, that's damn random

journey back was not as smooth. some delays along the way.

anyway, thanks pharmers!

Trekking: Mountains Jasar (1670m) and Perdah (1551m) in just 1 morning!

Looking at Peda from Jasar

feeling bored and acting cute :P
