I was given Ponstan for the pain that was my abscess. My *ow. hold on. ow.* My dad tells me not to take more than... was it 2 every 6hrs or 4 every 6hrs... Whatever. In other words, take it only if I have to.
Somehow I think I'm going to need more.

Post-Surgery
Well... I'm back at home. Had to change the dressing once already coz the blood soaked through my jeans. Would've created a great hoo-ha if I'd gone to school I can tell you...
Anyhow. Took a cab down to Mt. E Hospital just now since it was raining cats and dogs. Reached early so decided to drop by Mummy's office first in hopes that she'd escort me up to Uncle Abu's clinic later. Unfortunately she was being harrassed by some surgeon over the phone, so I had to go up all by my lonesome self. Luckily the nurse in the clinic was sort of a familiar face, just one I haven't seen in like 7 or 8 years. Could barely recognize Lilian. 5min later, Papa shows up (finally!!!) and Lilian talks him into giving me the first shots of local aneasthesia. The silly man was going to abandon me and go drink coffee in the doctors' lounge!! GAH!! Where's the justice I ask you??
So my own father pricks me in at least two places around the horrid abscess, which now looks like it's the size of an ugly purple eye-ball or something and declares that he's going to go drink coffee anyhow. GAH!! Of course, Uncle Abu steps in just then and he's got to stay coz Uncle Abu tells him to. HA!! Darling daughter and all, you see... Deprived him of coffee! Hurmph! I mean... Of course I'm edgy about it!! How often do you think I go around getting abscesses removed??? It's a minor surgery sure but STILL a surgery!! Egads!!! But Uncle Abu was nice. Kept reassuring me the whole time. Even kept asking me why I looked so worried. "No need lah!! Small thing only!!" Yeah right....
So he pokes me again in at least another two places with some more L.A. and then with a "Ready?", cuts open my abscess. Even he's confounded as to how come I've got such a huge abscess near my groin. But he agrees with Papa that it looks like a lymph node that got infected. But how in the first place??? No one knows. Not even me. So apparently there was a whole lot of pus and blood and he had to scrape a whole lot more out of the wound. Then he washes it out with saline and he and Lilian patch it up with a gauze dressing. Done. Very little pain, except the first few pokes with the needle. And I could feel him scraping. Very weird feeling.
So I got cut, scraped and patched up. Thanked everyone, made an appointment to see Uncle Abu again on Monday and went off into Guardian with Papa to get extra dressings and saline solution. Then the blood oozed through my jeans.
One ugly purple eyeball gone and still so much drama. Tch...

The Epilogue
Gah... I guess the "Sick Siew Mai" isn't really over yet. My dad just called me to tell me that I've been scheduled to go remove the abscess. Basically it's still a surgery of sorts. Although it's fairly simple and should be outpatient. I'll be out of there as soon as they patch me up. Uncle Abu's going to be the one doing it. So gross... Not Uncle Abu, the process... They got to cut open this thing and scrape the stuff out. SCRAPE!!! Ewwwwwwwwwwwww.... Wonder why they call it lancing. Everytime I hear "lance" in the medical sense, I think of quick cuts. *Swish* It's over. Gah.. Now I know better. Slow... PAINFUL process... Sounds like it anyway. Appointments at 3.15pm. GAH!! I'll let you guys know how it turns out.
Good news? I get to miss the Moose again. *does a little dance*

They Pricked Me On Me Arm...
Gah!!
My mother made me go for a blood test today at Mount Elizabeth. Think they took about 60ml worth. They took two tubes. Gah! Was expecting to see some abnormalities what with the abscess and all, but I went home before the test results came. They'd give it my mum first anyhow. Lala...
So tonight she comes home with the test results. And true enough... There were some abnormalities...
Abnormalities that are usually tied in to viral fevers or fevers caused by normal viral infections.
Hahahah!! Scared you guys didn't I? HA!!! Okok... Sorry!! Can stop hitting me now!! Anyway. Yes. I'm fine, save for the abscess which is still there albeit a bit more painful than yesterday. The only reason why I went for the blood test anyhow is because this round of infection was more serious than usual I think. And plus the abscess made things suspicious. So my white blood cells are a little low and my lymphosites (or lymphowatchamacallits) are a little high. But that's due to the virus and shouldn't really mean anything significant.
Hee... Sorry if I scared anyone. But I'm really all ok now. Still coughing a little but fast on the mend. Anyhow I guess that brings an end to the "Sick Siew Mai" chapter. All that's needed now is for that stupid abscess to go away...

Added Drama!!!
Well now. As if a dengue scare isn't enough. Oh... Don't worry about that. My fever's going down for good it seems, and the constant headaches are gone save for some sharp aches that last a second or two. Even the sore throat seems to be getting better. Still coughing though. Bah. But it seems the whole drama of me being sick isn't just going to end like that.
It seems that I have also developed a rather large abscess on my thigh. Actually it's right smack on the joint area connecting my thigh to my groin. It's looking PURPLE and UGLY and ANGRY. Ergh. My mum took one look and immediately her face took on the doom gloom guise. Threw anti-biotics at me and scolded me for not telling Sylvia when I went to see her. Or for not saying anything earlier for that matter. See... This thing appeared around the same time I fell sick. That would be Friday. I just didn't think it was such a big deal then. Anyhow. She then proceeds to remind me that this was the same thing that gave my grandmother her septicimia which... well... old history.
Anyhow she chided me and chided me and gave me whole lots of anti-biotics and tells me to be careful coz this thing kills. And to tell her immediately if it gets any bigger. I think that means I'd have to get it lanced (or lacered.. whatever it's called). EEK!! Isn't that what they do for cutting of warts??? Yucks. It better not get bigger. I'll whip it into submission...
Anyhow don't worry about me. I'm fine. It's just a tiny glitch in my matrix. Should be up and about no time at all. ;)

What The Doctor Told Me...
GAH!!
Couldn't make it to school again today. Woke up this morning and felt so totally WRETCHED. As I told Mel (Fann.. not Flipflat), I looked at myself in the mirror and thought I looked like a damned pontianac. And the mirror didn't crack... It ran away and jumped off a cliff. I was so UPSET!! I was really feeling better last night. I even went out with my family and ate something for the first time in two days! Stupid fever and headache ambushed me.
So finally I asked my dad to take me to his friend Sylvia's clinic to get an MC to show for it. I know... Both my parents are doctors, why do I still need to go to someone's clinic to get an mc??? Because silly old NUS is very nitpicky. Any educational institution is anyway. Letters from parents who happen to also be specialists may not cut it. It's happened before. Very stupid.
But what Sylvia said to us was quite shocking for me. I was surprised already when the receptionist took my temp and it measured 38.8. Then inside... The whole meeting was like a reunion of friends... My dad and Slyvia catching up and oh incidentally there's a sickie here... sheesh... But it was amusing. ANYHOW. The moment Slyvia heard that I'd been sick since Friday her whole face changed. Then she told us it might be dengue. Of course my dad as usual takes a nonchalent appraoch. Waves it off and says something like, dengue at most just go and monitor blood platelets lor! I didn't do it there but inside I was rolling my eyes at him. Trust my dad to say something like that. But it's true lah. When you're inflicted with any viral infection, even something as bad as dengue, there's not much you can do. Viral infections can't be treated with medicine. So Sylvia tells me to monitor myself for the next few days. And if nothing changes, go for a platelet test. Gah! Needles in my arm. *pui*
The good side is that I got a 3-day MC. So I validly missed the Moose again today!! Yippee!!! *Kaff kaff kaff* GAH!!

Hit Hard... By Something
I'm sick.
Of all the #*%@#&^! things to happen... I'm sick. And on my free day too!! Well... It was only free because Terada is out giving a speech somewhere else in the world. But the point is that I was free!! And I had to fall sick.
I don't think it's the flu. Coz my nose is quite quite clear. But I've got a damned headache, a dry throat (includes coughing) and was feeling cold in the day while my maid was complaining that it's a very humid day. And now at night I'm feeling hot!
Something is wrong with me... Very wrong...

KILLER ANTS!!!
Ants have attacked my hamsters' food!!! HELP HELP!!
I was actually going to write something else in this entry but I forgot what it was....
OH!! I remember now... I've got a phantom virus in my computer. My anti-virus keeps telling me that I have some trojan.swizzor.a dunnowat in my D://systeminformationdunnowatdunnowat and tells me to run AVG for Windows if I want to get rid of it. So I've run it for the third or fourth time within two days and the report still comes out clean! No viruses found!! But the $%*&#(@#% warning still keeps popping out!!! Dunno what the f*** is going on... Irritating... BAh!
Just came back from watching Bourne Supremacy. It's quite good actually. Maybe now I shall go and watch Bourne Identity. Heh. Also bought two sets of anime DVD. Hee hee hee... Both are quite old animes but good ones. Noir and Jin-Roh. Lalala!! Very happy!!! Spoilt by only two things: the phantom virus; and...

Emotional Sadomasochist
Super sleepy. But I had to write this blog.
Before I go on to the "main" topic, I have to say... I cannot believe that I crashed Pukey's philo film viewing to watch Alien. ALIEN!! I usually avoid all Alien or Predator films. It was scary. *whimper* Bloody too... And gross. Let's not forget gross. Who knew any living thing could drool non-stop like that? Not just buckets, I think. It was drooling WHOLE swimming pools!! Yeurgh...
Anyhow. After Alien was a nice turn around with the Anime Club's screening of Juuni Kokuki (Twelve Kingdoms). So much more relaxing than seeing aliens popping out of people's chests and raping human women and killing them in the process. Watched with Mel and her strange friendster friend.
After dinner with Mel, I went back down to KR for E block's comm elections. It was rather fun, I must say. It almost felt like I was part of that world again. Like I had never left. I stayed and I stayed. I laughed at the jokes, muttered silly comments and gossiped with the people as if nothing had changed. I refused to remove myself. Even took part in the votings. I kept telling myself that I'd call home if it got too late and either take a cab home or stay with Meena or Pearlyn until the morning. Thinking about it now, 30min after I finally reached home, I think I was purposely finding an excuse for myself just so I could stay the night. I knew how late it was getting, and that I should've called home earlier than 12.30am. But I didn't. I didn't want to. When I finally called home, my mother said she'd come pick me up. So that was the end of it. I finally left.
Meena asked me if I miss staying in E Block. I told her I did. And I do! But I'm also getting so used to the idea of not being there. See... When I'm not anywhere near KR or any current KR person, I don't feel the pull. Then sometimes when I'm alone thinking, or when I build up the guts to go back and have a look, I feel it sinking like the titanic in me -- I miss this place.
Sometimes I think I do it to myself deliberately. Maybe I unconsciously feel the need to keep punishing myself, whether or not there's a good reason. Well then... I am one mixed up piece of Chinese dim sum...

Looking For Replacement English Tutor
Sigh... Last night was actually my last session with Jung Woo. And until now there's still no replacement teacher. We had actually agreed that Pukey would take over but last night Mrs. Noh said that she'd rather have the tuition at home rather than have Jung Woo travel to Library@Orchard to meet Pukey for lessons. I see her point. Jung Woo is still quite the stranger in Singapore and it IS a bit worrying. She assured me that I wouldn't have to worry about finding a replacement anymore as I'd done my part. But I still feel somewhat responsible. And I AM having trouble finding someone suitable. Other than Evangelin, I can't think of anyone else who lives near here and who can actually teach English. But Evange has a student already, and her own studies to worry about. The only other people I can think of live on the other end of the island. Dammit... If it weren't for my own failing CAP, I'd continue teaching Jung Woo. He's a really nice boy and quite a good student. I really did enjoy teaching him.
Sigh... Anyone want the job? Or at least got a recommendation?

My Mind Is Going...
Bwahahahahhaha!!!
It's 3.37am and I'm still awake writing in my blog. It's overdue I think.. I've been neglecting it... *pats blog* And also I just finished watching the episode 10 of Samurai 7. *maniacal laughter*
*sings* Katsushiro is love with Kirara... Kyuzo's in the way... ^_^v
I am so in love with Samurai 7. Kambei-sama!! Kyuzo-dono!! KAKKOU II!! AIIIIYYEEEE!!!! *faints in a bout of extreme excitement*
*ahem* Anyway. I insist that watching anime into the late of the night was necessary. I needed my brain cells to recover. From what you ask? Stanley Kubrick's "Space Odyssey:2001". It's part of Pukey's philo module and I decided it'd be fun to watch a classic... Or any film for that matter.
Supposedly the most famous line in that show is when the astronaut David, or Dave, says to the space shuttle's computer, "Open the pod bay doors, HAL." All I could think of after the show was what HAL kept repeating as Dave tried to shut him down:
"Dave, my mind is going."
My mind was well and truly G-O-N-E after that show. Don't get me wrong. It's got some profound ideas in there, and the cinematography is pretty good for its time. It IS a classic. It's just that it's not something that everyone can stomach. I believe one of the review snippets on the back of the DVD cover said something about "mindblowing". Well... That it is.

Return of The Blogger
Hehehheehehhe... Yes I realize that I haven't been updating my blog. Mainly coz 1) My laptop was with phoenich... Thus had no mood to update my blog on home computer. 2) Lazy.
Hehe..
Today was absolutely zzz... Had an early morning session at the gym, which wasn't so bad really. The zzz part is when I decided to go to school straight after that. My only lecture today was 4pm-6pm with the Canadian Moose. And guess what time I reached school?
10.30am.
I was in school from 10.freaking30 am. So I decided to have breakfast at Macs... Of course it was damn crowded so I bought my stuff and brought it over to the forum benches to eat. Attempted to drag it out as long as possible by doing my readings as I ate. CMI... I finished by about 11.30am... So then I migrated to the library to stone in comfort of air-conditioning. By the time 4pm came, I was more than just stoned.
I was a boulder. :P

Double Bah!!!
YYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!
As if this morning wasn't enough... After the lecture I went down to Science to help Mel Fann and Sing Yee with their bazaar stall for a while. Soon figured that I wasn't much help by being very very stoned and decided to head home. Dropped by Junction 8 NTUC to get some stuff for home and as I headed towards the counter, found that I couldn't find my wallet!!! It was gone!!! I panicked and retraced my steps like 4, 5 times before finally going up to the cold meats counter (I got some ham before that) and asked if they'd seen me drop a wallet. They refered me to one of the senior staff and luckily it was in the office. Some kind soul had picked it up and handed it over to the main office. Everything was inside. Thank God I tell you. But the whole panic/excitement thing was just too much for me. I just wanted to be at home, on my bed, and D-E-A-D. BAH!!! I hate today.
>:(
And blogger is REALLY starting to get on my nerves!!!!! YEEEEEAAAAAAARGH!!!

I panicked and retraced my steps like 4, 5 times before finally going up to the cold meats counter (I got some ham before that) and asked if they'd seen me drop a wallet. They refered me to one of the senior staff and luckily it was in the office. Some kind soul had picked it up and handed it over to the main office. Everything was inside. Thank God I tell you. But the whole panic/excitement thing was just too much for me. I just wanted to be at home, on my bed, and D-E-A-D. BAH!!! I hate today.
>:(
And blogger is REALLY starting to get on my nerves!!!!! YEEEEEAAAAAAARGH!!!
BAH!!!
I am pissed. With myself. This is a lousy start to the day. Bad enough that I didn't do any readings for this Monday and only realized this morning that I should've done SOME readings for this week seeing how there was none last Monday for American Law, I woke up later than I planned to (due to watching the Olympic games until 4am) and then I had to walk out of my house to the bus stop only to realize that I'd forgotten my wallet. So I walked all the way home again and here I am totally pissed off at myself. I'd miss my lecture just to appease myself but it's a seminar style module so I can't not go. BAH...
This looks like a bad day already.

Will Your Arms Open... To The Prodigal Hostelite?
I found out today that tonight was the E Block Initiation. And I found out not from an E Blocker... But from Shuhui... I know I said I didn't really care. But I guess I'm still quite sad. Then again, it's partly my fault. I didn't actually say to anyone that I would've liked to be there. So the fact that nobody even casually mentioned it to me is still bugging me... Though it shouldn't. So the whole day, I went about my business, convinced that I didn't give a damn anymore about the people, the hall or the block, since apparently they didn't seem to give a damn about me anymore. I even went over to A Block to watch Singapore Idol with Shuhui. But as I left the hall to go home, I passed by E Block. And I heard the sounds of the initiation - namely Raymond trying to freak them with his "ghost" voice - and I was just so suddenly overcome by sadness. I really would've liked to be there. I was so tempted to just shout up to them, run up to the block and joined everyone... So I looked up to where all the noise was coming from... And left.
Of course, after calming down and thinking things over. I really can't blame this lack of communication on anyone. I haven't exactly been in contact with them too, since the few times I went back during FWOC. Why should they contact me? It's a fair exchange. But I'm still sad. And I still wanna go back next sem if I can. The question now is: Will KR... or rather, will the PEOPLE in KR welcome me back? I really don't know what that answer will be.
On a funnier side? I left my handphone in Mel's room. Uncontactable until tomorrow afternoon people!! And my lecturers so far are all quite zzz... :P

Sad Case
I am a total sad case.
I'm trying to go for 6 modules this sem, to make up for lost time, so to speak. But for some reason, the CORS thingy won't even let me add the extra module that I want. I tried calling the hotline to ask but ALL THREE lines were busy!!! So I e-mailed them. Hopefully I'll get a helpful answer. I've got a nagging suspicion that it's because of my super-duper low CAP. Sigh... :'( *sob*
And I've got tuition tonight.. Sigh.. I don't feel like giving tuition when I'm feeling depressed.
Know what else is sad? I haven't watched Spider-Man 2 yet!!!! Yes yes.. this is my attempt to forget all the above unhappiness... Somehow I doubt I'll be watching any movie anytime soon though. I think the last movie I watched on the big screen was..... Shrek2? Or some action movie earlier this year... Whatever... It was a long time ago. And there are so many I want to watch!! So here's my "Movie Wishlist" (in no particular order):
1) Spider-Man 2 (I insist!)
2) Catwoman
3) House of Flying Daggers (Kaneshiro Takeshi!!!! *drool*)
4) Twins Effect 2 (Just to see what the hype about Jaycee Chan is... And Tony Leung *drool*)
5) The Village
6) Fahrenheit 9/11
And I think there's a Japanese movie too... By the same fellow who made "Love Letter", but I can't remember what it's called... Well... There are just a lot of shows I wanna watch lah...
Any kind volunteers?? *starry eyes*
