2007...

It's the last few days of 2007! Can't believe how time flies. Sigh... And I still have so much to do! I've got so much work for my HYP. I'm quite worried about it now. Church choir is going to take up a bit of my time. My HP's spoilt. Sigh. What a way to end 2007.

I guess one good thing that happened was my results. With an A+, an A, and an A-, I can't complain about my results. They pulled my CAP to 4.61. My SAP is actually 4.83. I probably can be considered an abnormal case where my CAP gets pulled up with each semester. Most of the time, people's CAP goes down with each semester.

I just hope that my HYP can get at least an A-. Then I'll get a First Class Honours. If no A- and above, then there's no First Class for me...

DBS Moving

DBS is moving the HQ to Marina Bay Financial Centre in 5 years time. That would of course, mean that I'll be further away from where Gladys is working (SGH). And they are moving some units to Changi as well. I believe that they are moving the support functions to Changi. No reason for them to move the core banking groups to Changi. How are we supposed to meet customers if our offices are at Changi? If they really do move me to Changi, I think I'll switch to another bank. Haha.

Problems with Camera!

ARGH... Wanted to do some updating, but then there were some problems with getting the pics out of the camera. Or rather, the xD card. I think the problems started when I tried to take a long video just now. Then it started to have read errors. And I still had a lot of photos that I didn't manage to get out of the camera! A lot of precious photos like the ones we took at Changi Airport Terminal 3. I'm so gonna cry if we lose those photos...

Anyway, I cut my hair today. Very short. A change of hairstyle. Did it at Chinatown at some shop in the basement of Pearl Centre. Just $10, and it's quite good. After some shopping, we went down to Central to catch the ice-skating performance. That was when the problems with the camera started, when I took a video of the performance. Or rather, tried to take a video of the performance.

Sigh... I just hope I can somehow find some way to fix the problems...

Post-Lasik-Me

After MUCH nagging from David to update our blog, I'm finally ready to tell of my own Lasik experience (DEAR YOU BETTER BE READING THIS!).

During the surgery, my experience was more or less the same as how David described it. Dr Marc Tay was very patient, and the whole procedure went smoothly and was over within minutes. Right after I got up from the chair, I could already see (just a tad blurry)!

After the surgery, I went straight home to sleep. I basically had the surgery on Friday, rested on Saturday, and I was back to work on Sunday. By Sunday, I could already see the super fine 8/0 needle used in microscopic hand surgery although my vision was very slightly hazy (like when your specs are dirty). Over the next week or so, my vision fluctuated a little, but not to the extent that it affected my work. I also didn't get any of the eye irritation that David experienced, so I guess I must be really lucky! (^_^;)

Something really funny happened to me though. I have extremely sensitive skin, and turned out I was sensitive to the Micropore tape (supposed to be very hypo-allergic) tt's used to apply the eye shields to my face. The red marks left by the tapes took 3 days to fade! Seems like it didn't happen to anyone else. =P

I just had my 2nd review on 03 Dec and I was told that both my eyes can see 6/6 (YEAH!). For those that don't know, my myopia was R -1000 and L -650 pre-op, so I was practically blind with my specs. Not that I'm encouraging everyone to go for Lasik, but it's the best thing tt's happened to me! Still getting used my new 6/6 vision though. There are times when I'll still try to remove my specs before I sleep... Heh!


Now for some photos...

Minutes before the surgery... Ready to kiss my specs good-bye!


Post-op, in the recovery area. Check out my eye shields!

The angry, red tape marks on my face...
