say goodbye to swelled- up eye!

FINALLY, i have decided to go and see a doctor to remove the lump in my lower eyelid.
i know its grown humongously HUGE over the past few days,
but i was simply too scared of going to the doctor's.
yesterday night, my dad told me if i didn't go get it removed,
even if it went down, it would still be there,
cos mine is so abnormally large.

i was supposed to sleep in this morning but my mom yelled at me to get up to go see the doctor.
wasn't a very long wait,
i dreaded every single second of it!
i had no idea wad the doctor would do.

the first thing the doctor said when he saw me was,
"wah. so big ah..."
after which he said it wasn't necessary to do any incision of any form.
just prick it with a needle and everything would be settled.
i really cringed at the word "needle"
so he told me to relax and lie down.
i was freaking out so badly i think the doctor wouldn't believe i'm 18 years old.
he comforted me like i was a primary school kid.
hahahs.
so he put this eyedrops that would supposedly numb my eyes.
it stung real badly like someone's jus squeezed lemon juice into my eye!
so i was going
"ouch ouch ouch...."
and he'll use that really soothing tone saying,
"its okay..it will go away in a while.. jus keep blinking..."

and the next part, i saw it.
the stupid needle!
how could i, a 1.65m tall, xxkg heavy girl,
be so threatened by a 3cm, 0.01mm thin metal stick!
okay that part,
i literally shook with fear!
REALLY! i was shivering like madd and holding the doctor's hand
so that he wouldn't bring the needle close to my eye!
denn he went on again to use the soothing tone.
i think they do actually train for this..
he went, "its not gonna hurt, jus remove your hand... slowly.."
but i was like some stubborn mule.
i wouldn't remve my hand from his.
it must have been 3 mins before i was willing to take my hand away.
andd he told me not to move,
cos it was very dangerous.
so i gave up, what was the worst that could happen?
okay the most the needle went through my eye if i jerked too hard,
and i'll be forever blind.
maybe the needle would even go too deeply in and it can't be removed,
denn i'll be famous, the girl with the needle in her eye,
new addition to ripley's believe it or not.

but, it didn't happen.
*HUGE SIGH OF RELIEF*
BUT it did hurt like crazy!
just that i was so scared i couldn't move.
after i felt this tiny prick,
nothing.
so the doctor tried again,
but this time, he rolled the needle in my eyelid.
omg i could totally feel it okay!
denn my vision went blurred,
and i was like some confused person thinking "what is going on?"
he went on to press on my lower eyelid,
probably to get all the pus out.
denn he wiped everything away and showed me..
FREAKIN` LOT OF BLOOD!!!
but i was cool with that.
hahahas. jus scared of the stupid needle.

after which, he explained to me the cause of this.
IT WASN'T COS I WAS WATCHING TOO MANY PORN WEBSITES
(which i dun even visit in the first place)
neither is it cos of my contact lens.
its because...
I RUB MY EYES TOO OFTEN!
which is true, especially late at night.
so... DUN RUB YOUR EYES, PEOPLE!

he also went on to explain that although the lump in my eye looked like one huge lump.
it actually wasn't.
it consisted of many pockets of pus inside,
which formed one big lump.
which explains why the first time he pricked it,
there was nothing.
so he had to ROLL THE NEEDLE to break all of the little pockets of pus.
okayy i'm quite sickened at the very thought of that.
my dad said there was alot of blood too,
and he said i would have totally freaked if i saw it.
BIG EWWWWWWW!!!!
i applaud the doctor for his braveness,
and having to put up with my nonsense.
i'm surprised he didn't pull out a lollipop at the end of everything to tell me what a brave girl i've been, jus like he did when i first went to him in primary school to get my jab.
no wonder my parents chose him as our family doctor.
if they had a doctor's day, i'll totally get him something.
but so far, i haven't heard of it before.
its only first time this year that i've even heard of nurses day.

my eye still hurts quite badly,
especially when i blink.
i dun even dare to pull down my lower eyelid to see how is it like.
my imagination tells me its not a pretty sight.
so i'll jus leave it.
stuck with another course of antibiotics...
great..

OOOOH! by the way,
i went to this cafe-like place for my breakfast this morning.
its located just opposite st nicks,
a few shops to the left of macs.
and they sell CEREAL PAO there.
i was wondering what the heck were cereal paos,
when i took a closer look and realise that..
they were like normal paos.
just that they had cereal bits in it.
it was nice!
or maybe it was cos i was rather hungry.
i even shared my breakfast with the little birdies there,
my dad did the honour of tossing the crumbs to them.
hahahs.

supposed to meet style today to study
but the doctor said not to go out today cos
my eye would be even more exposed to all the dirt and dust.
so i'm stayingg in today,
which is a good thing i guess.
cos it jus started pouring outside.
i hate to be anywhere but at home when it downpours.

i am craving to try out some new cuisine.
for anyone staying in yck area,
just behind the yck stadium,
there is this restaurant there which holds international buffet.
i'm wondering how authentic it is.
doesn't look very promising though,
its always empty when my dad drives past.

alrights, that's about it.
nothing else to blogg about.
bad news is that i can't wear contacts for the next two weeks!
darn..stuck with glasses again!!!
enjoy your saturdays people.
btw, michael phelps just won his 7th gold!
he is really an amazing guy!
JIAYOU FOR UR LAST ONE TMR!!
oh, my mom has michael phelps all over her desktop wallpaper.
her colleagues says she's nuts to be crazy over him.
my dad also asked why his face is not on her wallpaper instead,
and even hinted that he wanted to take up swimming!
hahaha. good luck with that. its like turtle trying to compete with shark.

[[ this will be, an everlasting love ]]
