Eye Clinic

From conjuctivities, my eye problem had evolved to be infection on the cornea. The opthomologist gave me tablets to swallow, an eye cream for night application plus another eye drop to be applied every 2 hours....which had constrained me from sitting too long on the pc, harsh light hurts big time..i can't even drive in the afternoons.I just hope it goes away pretty soon, not only it hurts, the specs im wearing adds to the pain, pinching the bridge of my nose.

And learnt something during the trip, ok, the worst solution people actually use for contact lenses is mineral water or maybe pipe water, but i have used neither, i stick to multipurpose solution and that, according to the local optician is not enough..learnt a thing or two about lense care the other day, all these while had been buying lenses from shops in commercial complexes, the local guy scolded me when he heard about my cleaning regime...after my eyes are okay, i am gonna religiously follow what he said...seriously..my eyes hurt too much for me to even think about taking lense care lightly...

Anyway, back to the story, the ophomologist asked me if i use saliva to clean my lenses and i just stared back at him, my mouth hanging wide, mouthing the word saliva? And he just smiled and said, 'Well, you never know what people can do these days..'

Ewwww....it had never even crossed my mind about saliva..as cleaning agents for the lense..ewwww....

My next appointment would be coming Sunday, hopefully my cornea is healthy by then..the guy mentioned something about staining and scraping the inner portion of my upper eye lids, hopefully in my next post, i won't be writing something that starts with eeeeeeeeeeoooouuuccchhhhhh!

Had a great day today..tucked in at Pizza Hut and went off to see my Uncle's new home, errr..it looks more like a mansion..huge and lovely...really...gorgeous house, has to be, coz it's worth more than MYR 300,000. And I'm invited to stay any time i want..:) and i intended to sleep on the huge balcony, looking at the stars with my three cute nieces on my side...enjoying the cool breeze..Aunty even said she'll get a hammock for me..he he he..royal treatment ;-)

Spending time in the garden..the blooms are breathtaking, tomorrow i'm off to the plant fair again with mum...

I'm back

I know i havent been updating for the past few weeks. Not that i went off for a cruise around the world. Nor did i climb Mount Everest. Nah, didn't scale The Great Wall of China either. Jordon? The idea of being a prospective victim of some vicious idiotic bombing doesnt seem to hold much appeal. The furthest i went was Cyberjaya. Yep, my old golden Cyberjaya. Back and forth for some interview business. And that's that.

Deepavali was great. Really seriously great. I had a jolly good time and even had a great good reason to smile extra wide like a grinning black hole. My parents have changed a little, they were more approachful, and finally i could joke and talk to my mother about him. But all the merry-making ended abruptly after the second day coz my parents had to go back to work for Hari Raya. I hate it when Raya clashes with Deepavali. No, i don't hate Raya, i hate it clashing with Deepavali. That's coz my parents have to work until the day before eve of Deepavali and resume back on Raya day. i hate that. I repeat. I HATE THAT. Thank goodness it will clash again only for the next year and resume that clashing business again after 30 years, by that time, i'll be 53, i don't think it will bother me that much.

Though i had a great Deepavali, it still got me thinking very deeply. How much in my life, i look forward for excitement, happiness and go on to find a reason to be happy, to look forward to. The happiness that comes doesnt seem to stick. Deepavali was fun, i was anticipating it, when it came, i had a great time. Then it was over, and i was thinking to myself, what's next? I had to go on to find the next reason to be happy. I can't imagine a life for the next perhaps 40 years, 50 if im lucky, doing the same, jumping from one temporary happiness to another. The man was right. We sometimes look for something outside not knowing it is with us at all times. I'm focusing my thoughts on that. Will elaborate later.

Time to get some work done. And not to forget a munch on Muruku and a bite of 'nei urundai'..Cya...
