yippee.. today is the last day of my intensive week.. next lesson starts 15 jan.. got ard 1 mth to relax.. but gt 2 projects gonna rush.. boo...
this week went shopping n spent alot man.. bought a mini long sleeve dress, 2 shoes, christmas presents for 2 frens n dearie and ate 3 different japanese restaurant. last night was baby's fren, you qing birthday n he treated us to this new jap restaurant beside tampines swimming complex. the sushi was 99c each and the unique thing abt the restaurant is that the waitress n waiters dun giveu menu to order but u walk ard the ordering station and take ice-creams sticks for the item u wanna order and put in a basket at ur table n the waiters will come n take the ice-cream sticks for orders. the food was reasonable but the onlt stupid thing is tt they dun take reservations and by 545pm, the queue was very long...
going Genting in 8 days time.. can't wait man..
oh yeah, after dinner last night, all of us( qing, jas, wei tian, jace, pao and caimu) went back dearie house where we cut cake and played cards. we planned christmas eve celebration at dearie place where we will have potluck session of pizzas, chicken wings, other fried stuff and curry chicken with bee hoon.. looking forward to the mahjong sessions.. after tt, its Genting..
hope the rain stops.. hate this glommy wet weather...

am discharged!!! hmm.. throat hurts alot.. been eating plain porridge these few days.. sob sob..
well, i stayed in a ward with these 4 ppl who were ultra friendly.. the girl next to my bed had an op the day b4 n she told me everything abt the procedures.. she even said on the way to the op theatre was very fun as u can see the lights above jus like in the movies like tt.. bascially, she tried to make the ordeal less frightening for me.. b4 i left for the operating theatre, she even wished me gd luck.. the operating gown was so revealing!! whole back was jus tied with 2 strings.. omg!! the nurses there were so friendly.. chatted with me n told me not to worry.. i forgot to remove my pedicure and the nurse didn't even say anything but straight away removed it for me. my op was scheduled at 11am but i was warded ard 9am.. the 2 hrs was gruelling man, esp. when they pushed the bed into the ward to wheel me to the op. theatre.. my mum followed me all the way there n the trip was reali a mixture of excitement n fear.. its was an endless journey of lights n nurses.. it was reali like in those shows where they ask the patient's relative to wait outside n they pushed u in? well, i used to think the op. theatre was jus inside but no lo.. it was another endless coridoors where u have to go thru a registration room where they keep asking u for ur IC number n ur name to cfm ur op. and wear the operating cap for u.. everyone was in green n it is reali chaotic inside where they refer to u as 'table ???' (operating table) patient n wht op u having.. after tt, then they will push u into ur respective operating theatre n ask u go onto the so-called table where there are countless and numerous machines and lotsa nurses and doctors crowding ard u..
one put the blood pressure thing on my right arm, others put dunno wht thing onto my chest, others cont. asking my name n IC, n one told me to clench my fists for him to insert the needle into my hand.. the whole while, my heart was beating very fast.. the only thing i rem was tt the doc saying tt i m gonna going into a deep sleep n ask me not to close my eyes.. i was thinking whether in general anaesthetic i would feel drowsy or eyelids heavy or jus close my eyes, BUT the next thing i know, they were already waking me up n asking me how i felt. the op was OVER n i didn't even know a thing.. it was alrdy 2 hrs!!! my throat felt dry n i couldn't breathe... attached to me were funny machines beeping away n every 5 mins, my blood pressure was taken.. i dunno how long i lay there till they released the machine n bring me back to my ward..
the worst part of the op is not the pain or the needle poking into my hand, nor the irritating drip i had to be on.. it was the stupid anesthetic tht caused the inability to pass urine!!! i was damn bloody urgent lo, till my stomach hurts but the stupid urine can't come out.. the worst part was they have to put a pot under me as i can't go to the toilet.. damn paiseh man.. so there i was stuck with the horrid urine and uncomfortable feeling till 5pm when the aneasthetic wore den i could urine.. horrible!!!!
anyway the food was gd except i took 2 hrs to eat half a bowl of porridge as i couldn't swollow.. baby companied me till 11pm and the nurse chased him out.. boo....
the only gd side of the op is.. lotsa ice-cream.. the doctor ordered me to have lotsa ice-cream n cold drinks.. no hot food for 1 mth!!! so now, my mum n baby willingly buy me ice-cream whenever i say i wan it.. hee..
doctor says will take ard 1 mth plus to heal and in the meantime cannot eat spicy n food tt is hot... gonna be a gd gal n listen..
going Genting after christmas with dearie... yippee...
hope by tt time, i have recovered n can fully enjoy..
