My Unhappy Eyes

This is supposed to be a sequel to the previous entry, but I shall not linger too much on fatness....

A day after I wrote the earlier entry, my manager asked me: "Gordon, have you put on a lot of weight recently?" I replied: "NO! I have always been so fat', but there is no way my boss is going to believe me. "No la, i dun remember you being like that last time..." Haha.

I have been extremely lazy lately, jogging only once per week. Moreover ever since i started working, I have been drinking can-drinks every working days without fail while having lunch with my colleagues. It has never been my liking to take sweet drinks, but I have no choice, as it will be embarrassing if i dun 'participate' in the culture in which my colleagues take turn to treat one another drinks everyday. Finally this week, I told my colleagues that I will give all can drinks a miss and stick back to my Nalgene water bottle once again, like those days I had in NUS. Its indeed very funny to see a working adult carrying a water bottle around at the eating places, but ....I dun care for now.

This morning, I went to Singapore National Eye Centre for my eye assessment. After a brief inspection on my eyes, the doctor could straight away tell that I have been wearing contact lenses for a long time. Indeed, i started contact lenses since sec1, which is abt 13yrs ago. He told me that all my blood vessels are growing in very abnormal position which is highly unhealthly. Strangely, I do not really feel uneasy or uncomfortable with contact lenses, so i din know my eyes have been suffering. Walaos, after hearing wat he told me today, i doubt i will wear them again.

The doctor also commented that my cornea is too thin, so I cant do the normal wavefront surgery. Hence, I have to pay slightly more to do a more complicated technology which he assured will give equal excellent results. He said based on past results, abt 95% of the ppl who have around the same eye power/degree as me will be able to get perfect vision. Even if i dun get perfect vision after the first surgery, I can opt for subsequent corrective surgery at Free Of Charge - of cos i hope that doesn happen to me.

Next week will be a hectic week for me, rushing reports, attending dialogue sessions and some major meetings. Fortunately, my big break will come the week after, in which I will go back to ITE again for courses for almost the entire of November. My operation will only be conducted after Christmas..oooh...

Not much reflections lately, cos too much activities in the day that at nite, they keep flashing on my minds.... seeing too many ppl per day and talking too much in the day... at nite jus dun wish to use any more brain power.
