thank god the everlasting rain has stopped..man was it bad..it rained non-stop from sunday morning to tuesday night..3 solid days of rain and cold and gloom..after that it was on and off and off and on..and now it has halted!!

monday morning was interesting coz i went to NUH for my appointment with an opthalmologist..the appt was for 8.30 but we got there at 8 and the clinic only opens at 8.30 so we had to wait outside for half an extremely boring hour..so after submitting my appt letter and registering i had to do the usual eye test..my eyesight's gotten worse..no surprise..then after that they had to take the pressure of my eyeball or something..haha that machine was funny coz like u stare into this tiny hole and all of a sudden a quick blast of air hits your eye hahaha it was quite shocking..yeah so as usual spent five years waiting for the doctor and whatever coz they only begin seeing patients at 9am..luckily i was the first one..oh man the anaesthetic eyedrops..they make your eyeballs feel so damn weird..imagine numb eyeballs..numb eyeballs!! they use those drops when they want to put something very close to or on your eyeball..it numbs the eyeball so you don't feel anything..what a feeling..and that wasn't enough! after being sent for a couple more tests in other rooms and everything the doctor decided he wanted to do something else that required my pupils to be dilated..so they had to give me eyedrops to dilate my pupils!! and i had to wait 20 minutes for it to take effect before i could see the doctor again..after that i was finally allowed to go and it was already 11+..more than 3 hours spent there! anyway when i left the doc's the whole pupil dilation thingy hadn't work off so that felt weird as well coz everything seemed soooo bright and i had to squint like crazy to prevent too much light entering my eyes! ph and i asked the doctor if i could wear contacts and he said it was my decision to make but i should really be careful..there's still a hint of a scar on my right pupil..sigh sigh sigh..

ok skip to friday..met max, mimi, narin and amarpreet(for a brief moment) in town..went to watch in her shoes..good movie..then i had to head off to khalsa for some sports meeting while the rest went to meet geri and keerthi in selegie to have sushi..yeah so my meeting went alright..but it looks like australia's not gonna happen this year due to the mela being the same weekend as the games :( oh well next year hopefully! even though i've really had enough of waiting to go for this!!! aaaaaaaaaah! ok i'm fine..

today geri, narin and i went to the driving centre in ang mo kio to sign up for our basic theory..so me and geri have our test date set whereas narin didn't bring her glasses and so has to go and register tomorrow coz u have to pass some minor eyesight test..actually i couldn't see as well coz my degree has gone up but i haven't changed my glasses and i was going to have to come back some other time also but the lady was really nice..she encouraged me to just try a bit harder and thankfully i made it!! so 7th feb is when we sit for the test! exciting :) though a bit scary..

ok and Man U just lost the manchester derby..i don't really know what to say..
