Ponders

Do you not know? Have you not heard?

The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth.

He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.

He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.

Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall;
but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength.

They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. -- Isaiah 40:28-31

LASIK

Did my LASIK this morning at Parkway Eye Centre. I've finally gotten down to doing it. Can I say it's a life changing decision? I've worn glasses ever since I was 7, after my Primary 1 English teacher told my mum I copied words like 'train' as 'trian', 'giraffe' as 'girfafe' or sth like that. I guess it was really my fault to read regularly in the dark after everyone's gone to sleep, making use of only the lights from the swimming pool of our old house as my source of seeing. Thinking back, that's really crazy.

I'm actually surfing the net and blogging with my shades (newly bought, cheap cheap!) on to reduce the glare. I was given like so many eye drops for my eyes lar! The discomfort initially was really unbearable I could hardly keep my eyes open. Even though I wasn't sleepy, I still rather be lying on my bed with my eyes closed. It's kind of getting better already. I'm able to see clearer and farther, and the 'sand in my eyes' feeling is diminishing. Hope things will get better tomorrow.

I haven't exactly been for any surgery before (thank God for blessing me with good health! Super good in fact). This tiny surgery today made me feel like I'm a patient in the 'House' series, with all the bright lights shining above me during the preparation. During the surgery, I can see blur blotches of lights and sillouettes of nurses and the surgeon moving around, while my eye balls were fixed in place by I dunno what. 'Blotches of lights' because, I believe, my cornea was removed at that time. =S And at one point, I swear I felt they dislocated my eyeballs from my sockets.... I hope they really didn't.. haha

Anyway, I really wanna thank dear dear for accompanying me early last saturday morning for the eye check-up and for taking the day off to accompany me for surgery. I told him I'm not scared, but I guess deep down I really am worried, judging from the really odd dreams I had the night before. I dreamt that I broke up a fight between 3 kitties from my neighbourhood and because I touched the kitties, someone from my company (I also dunno why) came to tell me with a poker face that I have to postpone my surgery 'cos my hands are contaminated.. ermm..... haha. That aside, I'm glad dear was there with me, so things just kind of came and went, and before I knew it, it was all over. I'm also super happy when after my surgery, I saw my mum also waiting for me at the lounge. =) I told her she didn't need to come 'cos I was kind of worried she'd get lost trying to get to the hospital. But aww.... I guess I really wanted her to be there.

And because of this surgery, and me having to set aside money for my Masters course coming August, my coming bonus from the previous year........ 飞掉了!!

Despite this, heh heh, I'm still gonna get a new phone to replace the dead G700. Eyeing at E72. Muahahaha!!
