It's already a month since I am back from WMC 2009 held in Kerkrade..That was really a nice trip..enjoyed myself alot there..had lots of fun with everyone in my section and everyone in Mus' Art!! Had yet to upload the photos as the photos still in my bro's laptop..nv take from him..maybe will get it from him later..was quite busy after i am back from WMC.. Busy with work n school..
Dun really feel well this few days..kept on vomitting, feeling giddy, having blur visions and having headaches..dunno wat's wrong with me..dunno if it's the side effect of the operation..or is my gastric that is giving me the problem..or is it the pain killer that is giving that side effect..i also dunno..like wat ching said..the whole body just dun feel well..hahaha..hope will get better soon..hahaha..cos need to start studying hard le..in order to do that, i must be well..so that i can concentrate better..hmmm..n medical bills now very exp..so the faster i get better, the less i will spend..hahaha..=)
Soon Sept will end and Oct will come..looking forward to Oct!! cos Brother going to ROM..so happy for him and his gf..they are finally getting married..hahaha..After Sept, three more months to 2010..Haven't achieved much this yr..in fact, i think this yr is not a very good yr for me..cos my health not very good this yr..having backache since the start of the yr, then later found out that it's slipped disc, then went for operation..somemore found out that i have this inherited blood disorder called thalassemia..this blood inherited blood disorder causes my body to produce less hemoglobin..but mine is minor..still ok..just that my future husband can't have this if not the chances of my child having a major one is high..but i believe everything will be fine!!! other than that, studies at first also gt problem..at first almost can't study at SIM, RMIT..cos of my loan..but luckily managed to get the loans..=) then work also very pek cek..have a very 'helpful' manager who sits there and do nothing but just nagged..think this yr's appraisal gone..hahaha..but hopefully the travel insurance thing for Mus' art will help abit..
Though this 3 quarter of 2009 is not very smooth sailing for me, i still have 3 more months to achieve wat i want..there is alot of things i have yet achieved..the slipped disc had somehow restricted me from achieving more things..but i hope as i am recovering after the operation, things will pick up and i will be able to work towards wat i want..must really study hard..cos i dun want to disappoint my mum, bro, sis and those who r always there to support me..haven't been doing well for studies..but i will work hard this time..cos i know this is my last chance to do well and not disappoint everyone!! i have ard 1 month more to study before the exams..must also thanks my friends in class for always helping me with taking of notes when i can't make it for classes due to work and during my absence when i went to holland for WMC and also during the last 2 weeks when i am resting at home after my operation..thanks huizhen, ben, jie xiong and wei hao for all the understanding and help!!=) Let's all jiayou for our exams!!
The things i had achieve so far only very little..At least i finally gt my driving license after like 3 tries..hahaha...and i also went with Mus' Art Wind Orchestra to WMC 2009 held at holland and managed to get a score of 85.58 which is best among all the other S'pore bands who had participated in the competition as well..can't believe we did it and can't believe that i actually went with them for the 2nd time already..hoping to go there to compete the 3rd time 4 yrs later..but nobody will know wat will happen 4 yrs later..but for now i still would like to continue playing in Mus' Art..i learnt alot there and improved alot there..happy to have a group of fun loving percussion section!!! I love all of u!! hahaha.. thanks for making all things possible..without ur hardwork, the percussion section won't have improved!!! Think i can only think of this two things which i had already achieved in this 3 quarter of 2009..
Things i would like to achieve in the next three months is to get good grades for my studies and also to achieve more at work!!! Having worked at BTB for abt 2 yrs and 4 months, i felt that i actually acheive very little things..how i wish catherine and soo kiong were still ard..with them ard, i believe i would have achieved more than wat i have now..at least i would have been more motivated to work hard with them ard..cos under their leadership, i am able to learn and progress more..as they r really very understanding and always willing to help and listen to us when we needed helped..i really missed the times when soo kiong and catherine were ard..I missed both of u and i also missed all my colleagues who had left BTB for a better future like Jean, Bel, Janice and Cheryl..that is when i really enjoyed working at BTB..But no point talking abt all this now..it's all over...so i have to move on and try to do better at work..so studies and work is the 2 areas i would focus on for the coming 3 months..so think i will be very busy in Oct.. cos Oct i will be busy preparing for exams and work..after Oct will be slightly better as i can concentrate all on work and do well..cos exams over and no more classes till january 2010..
OK!! That's all i wanna say..a very long post..getting more and more long winded as days past by..meaning i getting older and older liao..oh no..hahaha..tired le..going to rest after taking my medications..tmr still need to work..will post again when i am free!! =)
Do u think we will have a chance to be together?? =p
:: 1 month after WMC and 7th day after spine surgery.. ::
Right after i am back, i was busy with school class test, assignments and also work..cos need to do that ordering thing which i stopped doing since i left for holland..then after came back from holland, went to see result for my MRI scan for my spine and was diagnosed with slipped disc at my lower back..and went to see the spine surgeon who told me that i needed a minor surgery..that was also part of the reason why i was so busy..as i need to settle school and work before going for the surgery on 2nd sept..so was really damn busy since i was back from holland..
Had the surgery last wed..though it was only a day surgery, it was quite scary..reported to Alexandra Hospital on 2nd Sept @ 1.30pm..changed into the hospital gown, waited for someone from the operation theater to bring me to the theater..the surgery was supposed to start at 2pm..but somehow there was a delay..then waited till like 2.45pm..then walked over to the operation theater.. waited for them to prepare the operation table..then about 3.15pm, was given some jab on my wrist..dunno wat's that..only know that it was quite painful..soon after, the surgery started..i was awake throughout the procedure.. n the whole procedure was very painful..especially when the needle is halfway into the spine..that was the most painful experience i had..but finally the procedure was over..my left leg were numb and pain..was not able to move my leg after the procedure due to the numbness..then was pushed out of the theater and rested for quite some time before i was pushed back to the day ward.. by the time i was back to the day ward, it was abt 5.30pm..had to rest there for 2 hours before i could be discharged..was still experiencing some pain when it was abt 7.15pm..n the nurses told me that if my pain nv subsides, i can't go back..luckily after taking painkiller and resting for awhile more, i felt less pain and could discharge n go home..so discharge at 7.45pm and went home on that day itself..=p
When back home, still felt the pain n stiffness..even till now, still abit pain..but better than the day i was back home already..hmmm..can't really sit, stand and walk for long cos still not fully recovered..still felt the stiffness in the back and numbness in the leg..hopefully will recover soon..then can faster go back to work..cos feel so bad..last month took two weeks leave to holland then this month mc 2 weeks again..so paiseh..cause everyone to work so hard at work..so sorry BTB..will come back as soon as i recover and feel better..thanks everyone for all the care, concern and support..=p
Must really thanks my sis n mum..cos they have to help me with lots of things for this few days..hahaha..thanks my familly and friends for all the support..i will get well soon de!!=p
