2009 Reflections

Its hard to believe that today is the last day of 2009.
Don't you agree that time seems to speed up as we grow up.
I am really looking forward to the Year 2010.At least I could finally say I am gonna ORD next year.Haha..Which NSF is not looking forward to their ORDate.I guess secretly we are counting down in our hearts everyday.

This year has been a challenging year for me.I didn't start the year well.The first few months pent mugging endlessly for my final year in poly.The unfathomable piles of projects ,ICAs and exams is sufficient to drive one crazy.Not to mention the catastrophe of conflicts and trials that came along with it.Thank God for loyal friends.They really stood by me during those adversities.Forgive and forget .These are basic answer of the problem.Time is the best healer.As time passes ,the storm will calm down.The rage ,the sorrow and scar will vanish.


BF0626 had a wacky time in the class chalet after we bid farewell to my poly life in NYP.
Then I went back to SICC to work .What an irony cause I once said that I will never want to go back to the place again.While...Its their attractive pay that lures me back.I gain an deeper insight of the REAL working world.Its a jungle out there.Office politics and backstabbing are so common.This helps me to be more prepared for my working life in the future.

April fool day ,I went Shanghai with Shaun and Jonice.What an awesome and unforgettable trip.I always hope that I will go back there someday.

20th birthday- I also tried something different ,went clubbing with the MSC friends -Jason's first encounter with the dance floor really cracks me up.I laughed till I rolled on the floor.

I also went G2max with my brother.It was an breathtaking experience.

Just before I enlist I got the chance to travel around
Went Fuzhou,my granny'家乡 and an impromptu tour with my auntie to Malaysia.


On 070909.I migrated to Tekong to live as an soldier..
P.O.P on 090909 and was posted to the infamous Guards unit.Seriously ,my life in my new unit was better than my recruit days in Cougar.Maybe its because I haven't been to the RECC course.I don't even want to think about it.

I went for my lymph node dissection surgery on 081209.It was an horrifying experience .Which remind me that I am going another LA surgery next year for my wisdom tooth exaction.Sign....

I didn't set any distinct new year resolution in the beginning of 2009.but I am really glad that I manage to achieve one of my goal which is to clear off all my Hp bills debts which dates back from 2001. I live an debt free life.Once again I need to thank Suzy for helping me.

2009 is filled with so many memories .
It may not be a great year for everyone.
Lets believe
2010 will the best year yet.

I do hope these happy days last longer

Okie..I know its disgusting to see my lumph node everytime you come to this site.
Let me update my blog and push the picture down.
I was given 3 weeks of MC to recover.
Call me a Chao Keng Kia.I can't be bothered .I am glad the lump is removed and hope the swelling goes away soon.
I am grateful for the time given to spend with my dearest ah ma and my family.
You cant expect me to stay at home for 21 days right?I will die of boredom and depression.

Thanksgiving night.
Look who I stumble upon?

The busiest woman in the world-Jasmine Lim(Left)!!!!
She is still the cheerful , lively sunshine girl.
She never fails to infect people with her joy and humor.

Suzy(Center)One of my longest friend.
She become prettier liao..
I browse through my photo album and found this vey blur picture.
Its the only picture with the 3 of us.
Look how much we have change these two years.

Don't kill me for posting this picture
Need to 回味一下..

Bye Bye Lymph Node

I went for the Lymph Node Exucision Surgery yesterday.
I had a hell of a time in the Op theater.
I walked into the theater and to my surprise there were 2 surgeons and 6 assistants awaiting for me .Isn't is just a minor surgery ?Is there a need for so many staff ?

I lied on the operating table and one of the surgeon injected me with anesthesia.After giving me 3 jab of anesthesia.The surgeon used the operating knife and sliced through my skin.I heard my skin tearing and felt tinges of pain on my neck .I screamed in pain .

The surgeons immediately gave me 2 more jabs and told me to relax.I wonder why they didn't give me enough anesthesia before they operate on me.So unprofessional!!!The disadvantage of LA surgery is that you are wide awake during the operation.You are aware of every single details of the surgery procedure.I heard the surgeons discussing on how they should take out the lump from my neck.
"give me knife,"
"give the blade ".
"The lump is deeper than we have expected."

Who wouldn't be terrified to hear things like that?
They slashed through my skin tissues and kept squeezing my neck to push the lump out.

After 20 minutes of squeezing and cutting ,the surgeons are still unable to cut out the lump from my neck .
Hence they decided to get a senior surgeon to finish the job.We waited another 20 minutes for the Tua Bai senior surgeon to arrive.Can you imagine ?I was left on the operating table with a open wound through out the waiting time.

Finally he arrived and he told me that they are going to cut deeper into my skin tissues to reach the lump in my neck .I was petrified and before I know it ,I felt a sudden twinge on my neck .The pain was overwhelming and I yelp like a loony.The surgeon gave another jab and told me to calm down. He strike a conservation with me to distract my attention.He asked me about my life in army and told me that he was once an infantry officer.

He ended the conservation by telling me that the lump was taken out and the other surgeon begin to stitched up my wound ..

Now I am experiencing the post syndrome of the surgery -sore neck and itchiness

and I can't really move my neck.

Hopefully I will recover soon.

Really?
