Girl's Night Out

Yesterday was GNO!


Went out with my mama and sister.


Caught Stomp the Yard, which is a movie about Stepping and black frats.


I liked it! High energy with Krumping and Stepping.


After that we went shopping :) I got 2 very simple smocks and bought 2 tops for my sis. Argh! Spent so much. Mama bought us a jacket each which was 60% off! A very very good deal, it cost less then 20 bucks.



We had dinner at Changing Appetites. A very good place to chill with friends. Comfy seats and good affordable food.




I was so so tired after that. Guess my system is not in tip top shape yet.


Back to work on Monday *sighs* Hope I can cope..

Random Hearts


I watched Center Stage this morning.


A pretty good dance movie actually... Came out in 2000.

So cute!!

Swiss Farmer's Pie tonight!

I finally got the stitches out!!!



But my dentist said there is still swelling :( I've got 2 more days of MC and will have to see him again on Monday..



He said it might be due to the stitches, coz it is a foreign body, so that's why there is still swelling. I am on another course of antibiotics and I hope that it will heal properly now that the stitches are out.



The worse thing are the tension headaches I have been getting. Really bad ones.. So bad that I feel like banging my head against the wall. It seems to be connected to my jaw.



My jaw aches so much, then I get the horrible headaches. Feels like my brain is being squeezed dry..


I'm back on solids, and I have officially not lost any weight.. Oh the trials...



It's not worth it being sick so long if I don't lose any weight. *cries*



Must be the meal replacements.


Must be my metabolism *bah*


I can't wait for dinner *grinz*


ps: I have updated my Wishlist for this year :)

Breaking out!

No no no no no...........



I'm breaking out pretty badly. Shit, shit, shit...


My complexion was surprising clear the last couple of days, but today...



Horrible breakouts!! I'm feeling depressed again..



I think the bacteria is slowly regaining their strength again and all prepared to launch a battle..


Since my body's not in tip top condition, I'm definitely going to lose this one.


I will go back to work looking like a mess =(



Anyways, yesterday baby came down again... =p


He bought me this cute, cuddly, mega "slipper". You know, the green one that they sell at Mini Toons.
Kawaii ne!!



I told him that he had better stop it, or I will always wanna be sick.. Haha..


Thanks sweetie, I hugged it to sleep *grinz*


I'm taking solids now, so far so good.. But I didn't lose any weight at all! What a huge disappointment.. My tummy is just as flabby..


Gums still feel swollen and hurt a little.. I doubt if I will be very productive if I go back to work on thursday..


My face feels numb, really weird..

Stuck at home

Oh my goodness, I feel so helpless!!!


Today is the first day I tried to go out by myself. I wanted to go to the bank to open an account.


I couldn't!!



Firstly, i couldn't find my ezlink, I don't know if I dropped it somewhere or whatever.


So I thought, why not just take a cab, it's quite nearby anyway.



So I got ready and went out. I pulled my muscle when I was going down the stairs. I was so disorientated. I couldn't even cross the road properly.


I kept feeling like I was going to be knocked down or something. I couldn't walk steadily and I felt like I couldn't keep track of my things. Like my keys and purse, etc..


In the end I went back home. It was a harrowing experience..



I'm still not ready, not fully recovered.. What a shock.. I didn't think that just a few days at home recovering would affect me this badly..



I'm now changed and back in my PJs, feeling alot more secured.. Eating ice cream, but even ice cream doesn't cheer me up..



I wonder if I will get better by wednesday?

Finally!! Real Food!! Yummy Yummy

My sister is back!!


Yesterday I didn't go to the airport to fetch her, coz I wasn't feeling so good again =(


So baby came over and we watched Night at the Musuem.



Disappointing... *bah*



I was really craving real food, so I made sure mama bought some back from the airport for me.



She bought Popeye's Chicken!!



I haven't recovered yet, so my wonderful mama actually minced the chicken and mashed potatoes together for me. So it was like a paste.. Like pate *grinz*



It looks awful, but oh my... How good it tasted!!




But I have this one stupid tooth that hurts alot! That took away some of the enjoyment.



This morning, my gums were bleeding again.. Haiz..



The swelling has gone down alot, but my gum still bleeds occasionally and my tooth hurts!


I hope it heals fully soon, if not I will have to extend my MC.


Anyways, my sister managed to buy quite alot of stuff.. But not much souveniers.. Hehe


She didn't really have the time at all.. Poor thing.. But a rather good haul overall.. Mostly food, like mochi and biscuits.. Haha


I got the earphones which I had shown her and requested for her to get for me =)


Thanks ar, mei mei.. *smiles*

I want real food!!

My baby is so sweet...


The night before, he came down just to drop off somemore drinks and Her World for me..


I was sleeping, so he messaged me to collect it outside my door..


Awww... Stop it, you're spoiling me *grinz*


Somemore stuff:


Ice Cream my mama bought.




Drinks baby bought for me =)





The cute magnet he included with my big card the day he came to visit me @ NUH.




He came down yesterday just to see me for a few hours.. Although we are having a few issues now, he still cares so much and tries so hard.


I'm really touched..



Anyways, my sister will be back soon.. I hope she managed to get lotsa stuff! But I doubt so, coz she mentioned that they will not have much time to shop =/


Wells, one can hope..


I don't seem to have lost much weight still, why ar?


The meal replacements too rich? Hmmm...


Cheek still abit swollen, but I have completed the course of swelling medication.


Still puffy lips and sometimes slight bleeding and pain.


Still getting fevers on and off.. I hope i recover by wednesday =(


I feel quite disappointed and sad that people I thought would care more for me, did not even bother to see if I'm fine or even just drop a message to check on me.

Huge disappointment and lotsa hurt.. I'm still waiting..

How I eat

Day 2 off being back from NUH.


My lovely colleagues messaged me to say that they would like to visit me on Sunday.
How sweet of them, but I declined.. haha


I would much love for them to visit me, but my house and especially my room is in such a huge mess... I don't think I have the energy to clean up.
Plus, I will be going to the airport to pick up my sis.



She's coming back from her 5 day Japan trip!! Lucky, lucky girl...



My bro went on a road trip to KL last night too.. So it's just my mama and I.



My mama has been swell! Even tho I had to go back on my own after being discharged yesterday, she changed my bed sheets so I could have a good rest once I reached home.


She bought my meal replacements, since I would rather not start on solids so soon..


This is what I'm living on..

*Ensure*
Liquid meal replacements in Chocolate, Strawberry and Vanilla.
The Chocolate and Strawberry tastes good, like milkshakes =)
But of course it's no substitute for real food *sobs*



I also have the drinks my baby bought me that day to supplement my meals. Lol


Mama bought extra fruit juices as well!
Looks like the well stocked fridge of a health nut!
NOT!! *grinz*




This cup my mama bought from the pharmacy coz it looks cool.




Last but not least, my medication.
Painkillers, antibiotics, gargle and anti-swelling medication.




Well, it's time for Ensure.. I don't think I will be losing much weight tho.. Coz I'm drinking alot of sweet drinks =/


To my sweet colleagues, thanks for the kind thoughts and well wishes. Will see you guys soon!!

Night at the Hospital

I'm back from NUH. Had to be warded for 1 night after the surgery.


Phew, Thank God. In the end only 1 surgery was required instead of 2.


7 extractions and 1 surgery...


I was pretty scared, of the G.A and the after effects, but everything turned out just fine.


Now one side of my face is really swollen and bears the vestiges of a brutal pulling open of my mouth. Got bruises on one side of my mouth.



My IV tube insert point still hurts a little, but that will heal real quick.


I only hope the swelling will go down fast, and that the pain will be minimum.


Some pictures: Some blood


I got there at 7:30am, then they informed me that my surgery is at 11:30am. -_-""

Before the surgery @ the Day Surgery Ward
Still looking normal but sleepy.




I was lead to the Operating Reception before 10a.m, but I had to wait til 11a.m to go into the Operating Theatre.

The insertion of the IV was abit painful, after that I knocked out and can't remember anything at all.

12:15pm: The surgery was completed. My mama told me that they only wheeled me back at 2 plus coz I had to recover from the G.A in the O.R


After the surgery, with the gauze still in.
It was damn bloody!! Even tho it was changed before wheeling me into the ward.




Right before dinner time after I slept for a few hours, the nurse removed that gauze and got me to rinse my mouth.
So much blood...


Now you can see that one side is much more swollen then the other.




My sweet mama bought me this to keep me company =)
So cute!!




I asked her to go back earlier coz I was going to sleep, so I didn't see any point in her staying so late.
But I did feel quite lonely and miserable at dinnertime. Coz everyone else had relatives visiting them.


This was what I had for dinner.
Everything was minced very finely, more like a paste.
And I had fruit puree and mousse too.
Cool!
Hospital food isn't that bad...




But my baby came down at night just to pass me a Cute Big Card and a magnet with a bear saying "Talk to my paw" on it. So sweet..
I asked him to leave earlier as well, coz I was getting tired and my throat hurt alot.

Was woken up many times for my blood pressure and temperature to be taken. Was also given medication for the swelling and pain.


I couldn't sleep so well because of this. It was causing me some pain and rather uncomfortable.
I accidentally hit it against the bed a few times and sometimes that nurses used too much pressure when they insert the tube to connect to the IV.
Painful *cries*



Anyways, I was looking forward to breakfast coz I was quite hungry.


What a disappointmnt :(
Just pork porridge




Lunch was much better, very similar to dinner.
Minced veggies, minced meat, porridge, carrot and potato soup, strawberry mousse and melon puree
Yummy! I don't think I lost any weight.. Haha




Anyways, it was not as bad as I thought it might have been and I came away with a few bruises and scratches on my arm, a hole on my hand and some tearing of the corner of my mouth.
Just as long as my wounds don't act up and the pain remains bearable.

Thank you God for answering my prayers

Sweetness and pain

My baby is so so sweet.


Came all the way down from camp, just to pass me some drinks and snacks in preparation for my surgery on wed.



Don't be alarmed, I'm removing my wisdom teeth.


All 4 to be exact. Plus 4 pre-molars for my braces.


Craziness? Most people would agree.


4 wisdom teeth.. 2 by extraction and 2 by surgery. Plus extraction of 4 pre-molars


2 + 2 + 4 = 8 teeth!!!


I will probably feel like I was hit by a truck, but I would rather do it at one shot then go back twice.


So I will be under general anesthesia. Hopefully there will be no complications.


Wednesday, staying over til thursday at NUH.


I'm scared, I hope the pain is bearable and the swelling minimal.. *cross fingers*

My paternal grandmother left us on wednesday morning.


I grieve at the lost...


The biggest regrets were that we did not maintain a close relationship as we grew older.


The visits whittled down to the yearly CNY gathering.


Just 3 weeks ago during the CNY she was still spry and healthy looking.


How suddenly one can be taken away.


In the hospital for slightly more then a week, she was finally alleviated of her pain.



I should have brought my baby with me to see her on CNY.


I should have taken her out for the treat I promised to.


I thought she still had alot of time with us.



But now, she is in a better place.
