Goodbye to Glasses & Contacts Soon!

Went through a series of tests this morning and I was given the green light for Lasik, which is scheduled on 07 June! The tests were okay, just that my eyes felt very tired after that due to the eyedrops. The doctor was damn funny as well....very friendly and you'll feel very comfortable to 'hand over' your pair of eyes to him. After all, he did Lasik for my Sister, Brother & Sis-In-Law a few years back and he is a relatively well-known docter.

Fortunately, my degrees remain at 175 & 125 for left and right eyes respectively. And my astigmatism is at 50 for both eyes. Dr. Lee is confident that I'll have at least 99.9% perfect eyesight. If not, he'll perform another surgery at no cost since he is a perfectionist as well. And no...I'm not going to miss wearing contact lenses or glasses! Coz he actually told me jokingly that I'll missed putting on lenses/glasses after Lasik! No Way! I've enough of dry eyes and the inconvenience of it.

Though it's still 1 month away to surgery, I'm already counting down and looking forward. My only dilemma now is whether should I do both eyes on 1 day, or 1 eye each on consecutive days. Pros & Cons for either option. Tough decision....and I HATE making decisions! Arrrggg!

Simple Wish

A resort stay as a birthday gift definately sounds tempting. But erm....Thanks, but No Thanks. I reckoned that I'll be happier without it, just as long as I have my family and buddies with me, that's all I ask for. Looking forward to my Birthday. Have plans in mind already...just keeping my fingers crossed that I'll not be 'activated' for work that weekend.

Life Story

Sometimes, listening to other people's life story makes me feel really blessed to have a wonderful family. I can never understand the pain and hardship one has to go through for the family. I can only emphathize. I admire him for his optimisim though deep within, he admits that he is not as strong as he seemed to be. A quote from him...

"The Happiest of People don't Necessary Have the Best of Everything; They just make the Most of Everything that comes along their Way."

His story indeed affects me a little, and I still kinda have this heavyhearted feeling in me. If only life is less complicating....and yes, some things in life are just not the way that you want them to be....

Past Week

The past week had been a busy one, with lots of catching up with colleagues/ex-colleagues and friends. Had bad days at work as well so much so that I suddenly have the urge to just throw everything and leave! Maybe I'm just too tired. I don't know. Anyway, the catching-up session with my past and present colleagues helps me to destress! We practically crapped anything under the sun and it was a night of food and laughter, except for our poor Andrew, he met with a pretty bad accident while on the way to meet us. So he and another of our crappy colleague, NKF aka 779 (we calls him by his extension no.) missed the earlier dinner with us at this uber expensive Korean restuarant at ECP. They serve pretty good food, unfortunately, the prices are exorbitant and the food portions are pretty pathetic. Not wanting to get cut-throat further, we decided to head down to the hawker to continue with our dinner with Andrew and 779 since they missed the earlier dinner.



I'm always amazed by all those side dishes whenever I have Korean food. The other place that serves good and relatively reasonable priced Korean food is at Tanjong Pagar. Don't know the name of the resturant though I know how to get there! Heehee

Anyway, we still ADORE Hawker fare! BBQ Stingray, Garlic Kai-lan, Medium-cooked Hum, Gong-Gong @ SNAILS!, Chicken Wings, Satay.....OMG!! It's super yummy can! And thanks for 779's friend who have a stall there, we had a really cheap and fulfilling meal! We have already decided on the next eating location for May, and that will be the famous western food stall, Botak-Jones @ Toa Payoh! I went there for supper last Monday after my Amazing Race. The food is good, ambience is great. Counting down to the next outing already! *drools*

I finally break my record of not buying anything since Friday! Those things that I've been eyeing for a long time are either out of stock or they do not have my size. Probably the only thing that I bought was this ultra cute measuring tape from Raffles City. And I had free dinner @ Chong Qing hotpot, courtesy of the Birthday boy, Ah-Pow. We had a mini celebration for him after the fulfilling dinner...

The lovely couple.....Awweee! So Sweet!

Us!...Doing dumb things again. *what's new!?*

Feeling very stonned now. Plus the fact that my coming weekend will be burnt makes me more sian. And I got a feeling that I might not have a chance to go JB for our grand opening this Friday as I need to go for a set-up for an event this weekend @ VivoCity, which can be done only *gasp* after 10.30pm!! We'll see how it goes then....I need my beauty sleep now. Nitez... ^_^

Random Weeks

Today, I finally conclude that I'm not cut out to be a sales person. Why? Simple...
1. I've got no patience
2. Long meeting gives me headache (Like NOW!)
3. I'm bad with numbers
4. I hate follow-up work

So, am glad that I wasn't being offered a sales position intially. True enough, even my manager feels that I'm more of a "marketing" person.

The meeting today with the Japanese nearly killed me. The best part, my advisor aka my manager is not around as she has something to attend to so she left me all alone to handle them. It was really very stressful, especially when they have like 1001 requests/questions! Arrg!!...And whether the deal will close or not, it's another matter altogether. It's another day of learning today...which comes with a bad headache. ^_^

Come 20th April will be our JB's Coffee plant grand opening, and I'll be attending as well! *Yippie*...that means only 1/2 day of work since the ceremony is at 3.30pm and we have to make our way across the causeway! Heehee *evils laughter* Since it's a GRAND opening, it should be quite an eye-opener. Will take pix and post up here if possible.

Those who have seen my friendster shoutout might be wondering why am I so looking forward to 24th April. Well, that's because I'm finally fulfilling one of my new year resolutions that I've made since early last year - To go for Lasik surgery. Appointment has been made on this very day for the Lasik assessment to check whether my eyes are suitable to go under the knife. It's approximately 2 weeks from now, which means that I'll look uglyfied at least 5 days prior to my appointment as there is strictly no contact lenses allowed in order for a more accurate assessment. So, I decided that other than driving, I'm not gona put on my specs. In the event if you guys see me in town and try to wave at me; and me, being a temporary blind bat ignored you, please pardon me. Hahaha...Hmm...I think this sounds really ridiculous but I've not checked my eyes ever since I have to wear glasses till now. Hence, my degress are still stuck at 175 & 125, left and right respectively for around 4-5 years?.....I'm just too lazy to get it checked periodically, so I'll just conveniently purchase my contacts with the same degress. *rolls eyes* Mmm...strangely, I'm kinda looking forward to it. However, I'll be lying if I were to tell you that I'm not afraid. No matter what, it's still a surgery and if anything goes wrong, I'll really turn into a bat! So....wish me luck then, i.e. if I'm given the green light for Lasik.

天使

你就是我的天使 保护著我的天使 从此我再没有忧伤
你就是我的天使 给我快乐的天使 甚至我学会了飞翔

飞过人间的无常 才懂爱才是宝藏
不管世界变得怎么样 只要有你就会是天堂

像孩子依赖著肩膀 像眼泪依赖著脸庞
你就像天使一样 给我依赖 给我力量

像诗人依赖著月亮 像海豚依赖海洋
你是天使 你是天使
你是我最初和最后的天堂

依然是朋友

情人节的前一天 他离开你身边
只剩下你无止境的想念

那一夜我陪着你 你哭了一整夜
你是否知道 我对他(也)一样很想念

直到有一天 我和他碰面
在那间 我们常去的咖啡店

才知道 有些感受 我和他谁都不曾说出口
我们之间 隐藏了什么 除了我自己没人懂
可是你 你怎么说 你知道后是不是从此避开我
Oh 我一样难过 多希望我们不曾相识过

那一夜我陪着你 你哭了一整夜
你是否知道 我对他(也)一样很想念

直到有一天 我和他碰面
在那间 我们常去的咖啡店

才知道 有些感受 我和他谁都不曾说出口
我们之间 隐藏了什么 除了我自己没人懂
可是你 你怎么说 你知道后是不是从此避开我
Oh 我一样难过 多希望我们不曾相识过

才知道 有些感受 我和他谁都不曾说出口
我们都是最好的朋友 谁会有勇气去开口
不再哭 不再难过 我们还有好大好大的天空 Oh
故事的最后 我们都不曾失去过 什么

我们依然是朋友 Wu
