bactroban

hat is the medication my doc gave me to apply. hahah, i remember my mom asking me what if there were any side effects cos of the wound. she was trying to convince me to see doc! 

hahah, now, i'm more worried of the side effects of the medication lah! take a look! :

What are the possible side effects of Bactroban?

Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat. Stop using Bactroban and call your doctor at once if you have any of these serious side effects:

• severe burning or stinging of your nose;

• nosebleed; or

• severe burning or watering of your eyes.

Continue using the medication and talk with your doctor if you have any of these less serious side effects:

• dryness or unpleasant taste in your mouth;

• headache;

• ear pain;

• runny or stuffy nose;

• nausea;

• skin rash;

• cough; or

• sore throat.

Side effects other than those listed here may also occur. Talk to your doctor about any side effect that seems unusual or that is especially bothersome.

bitten!

haha! my feet got bitten by some sea creature yesterday, at the start of windsurfing.  Anyway, i had a pretty good time, surfing, 4hrs. Went offshore really far lah! hahah! but yea.. at the other say, 4 hrs is quite tiring. I think 3 hrs is my limit. That's why i always like to book 2 sessions. And i can feel that i am getting stable on the board ald. Gone were the times when i would stand up and fall back into the water in under a min :P Yesterday, the wind was good and the water was quite wavy. Yet, i managed to stay on board most of the time :) But the wind and current were both going towards the west and since i'm still pretty much a beginner, it was difficult for me to sail against the wind back to the shore usign the zig-zagging method, whatever it is called. And so, i had to be towed back to the shore! YaY! hahah, did i mention that i was towed back nearly 3 time last week? That'ld be a record that is hard to break! Oh, and this time, i met another long-lost JC friend fly, who was towed back with me. And thanks to jude who helped me with my scratched foot. I'll spend a few days leaving the muscles to recover and then go for another training... Time to register for special sem next week!

Flock!

hahah, this is a test post before i makw the switch from windows live writer to FLock for my blogging needs :P This is cool lah! interface is almost like live writer and sommore, it is integrated witha  browser that is in turn, integrated with my facebook, twitter, mails and youtube accounts! how cool is that!

that is a screenshot. hahah, too small! i'll go fix it. and i found that it uploads these pics to facebbok by default i'll go fix that too!
But so far i'm quite impressed with it! Certainly worth a try if you facebook and do nay one of the above concurrently!
Also, for ppl like Adwyn, this browser is built on firefox :)

Blogged with the Flock Browser

31st Student council Farewell video

Love the song and how it is synchronised with the dances, esp in the later part of video! hahah, YaY! And i'm glad i got a youtube acct to go rate and fave this :)

sep & 32nd SC investiture

When i applied for exchange program, i was given a choice of whther i wanna know the contacts of others going for exchange. I dun remember what i chose then. I received a mail from the person in charge asking for forms and stuff, which i'm gonna go down tmr to hand in :) hahah, and i by looking at the other people's profiles from the e-mail addresses on that e-mail, i found 2 other ppl from EE going on exchange to Tu/e too. The 2 girls seem to be quite friendly. We all seem to be specialising in different things.. so i guess we'llonly have ee3001 on common. 

And i went down to nyjc yesterday for 32nd sc investiture! hahah, pictures are in my facebook, but i'll just add some here:

The 31st SC on the left and the 32nd SC on the right!

The Seniors who came down: Pen and me from 28th, Kat from 29th and a couple of others from the 30th :)

And... i signed up successfully for LTC camp as a facil or 'prefect' as they call us cos of the harry potter theme. I received a howler about it! So, here are the dates i'll be away:

29th may and 27th june for facil training, pre-camp on 30th may and camp from 3rd to 6th july. The camp is over a weekend, 3rd is a friday, 6th is mon. 

I'll be going for the USP productions, 23rd may, 3pm show!

and i'm learning how to use twitter. I'll be tweeting once i get out of this sucky m1 plan in july! 

end of ubz and start of marthon training! back to windsurfing!

Went down to school to train yesterday. Morning, i went down to Yishun town sec to pass the cd and for some reason, i just turned back without seeing the teachers. guess they were all busy or sth. and oi guess i had no motivation too :P Then i popped by ang mo kio lib to pay fines. My cashcard got stuck inside the machine! hahah, and the staff was helping this smart looking-but-dunno-how-to-use-the-machine guy use the machine and asked me to wait. I was so patient that she forgot about it and went back to the counter after helping the man. The other staff at the counter came down to help me :) 

And.. at school.. slacked at the lib and then went down to the gym which was super packed. So i went to track to run, since i had remembered to bring my running shoes. I was training my speed, ran a 4,4-3,3-2,2-1,1. like 400m, 400m, 300m,... each at ~5m/s. I'll let my legs recover and push myself harder next time. ~10 pull ups which is very good for me and 100 sit-ups, also very good, considering where i stand in sit-ups and the fact that my stomach muscles are still hurting :(Next training, hopefully next week. Or i'll try friday... 

Oh, and i went windsurfing on saturday! I met zihua in the middle of the ocean! hahah we stopped for a while to catch up while the wind was down. And the wind wasn't good lah.. together with the strong tide. boo! I'll try at the upcoming session on sunday then :P

Hey ppl! I've seen a few blogs and got some ideas to do a little addition to mine :) haha, look out for it! Should be done by the weekend. Busy now :P updates coming up soon!

back home

Have been back home for a few days now. I kinda miss the independance i had in school. It made me a lot more open minded and in a sense more caring towards those around me. Anyway, i’ll be schooling once again for special sem part 2 :)

Windsurfing.. I checked my yahoo mail yesterday and found that the windsurfing recre sessions are still on! So i registered for a session this coming saturday :)

And i’ve been cleaning my room for some time now. It’s nearly done, on my part. just left with some of my parents’ belongings, their papers and stuff. Now to go on doing my exchange stuff.

Oh, and that china thing i applied for.. it got postponed to dec and i’m not going for it. Some of the other things that i got rejected from are also affected by the swine flu. how sad.. haha.. That’s all the updates for now. I’m still negotiating with my parents to get a mac for our next desktop, now that the windows xp comp has increased it’s crashing frequency :P

Homegoing 2-Finishing off what i started.

Having gotten over the canopy walk and the dogs, there were little that could now scare me :) So, i went on and on into adam road, taking a few of the pics below:

Above: scary amount of lights in one small region…It is really over-lighted lah!

And by now, i was getting used to the yellowy glows in my pics.. i guess you people should be getting used to it too :P Let’s go on!

 

Above: The no-more-pavement region around the flyover

And below: The view of traffic around the flyover! HAHA! Gosh! compare the amount of traffic in thsk pic to the one taken on the previous homegoing! Huge diff eh? Let me see.. these below were taken at 3:18AM.

 

And.. the Singapore Island country club… This taxi driver who was slacking the night away ont he toher side of the road was giving me a wierd look, as if i was Mas Selamat, when I was taking this pic.

 

Going on to lornie road! Look at the signboard below!

And below was the path that i took yesterday, taken with flash. I dare not go into it this time.. no thanks :) And to add on, i felt that i didn’t have timet o lose too and the park was closed… not that it wasn’t the day before but still/// for those who didn’t read my prev post, this was the cross country route for nyjc back in my year 2. I remember it well.

And oh my, look at the road strething in front of me!

And finally, i came to the spot which was the final part of the cross country back then.

And a back-to-civilisation shot: (not the buildings in the background… mt alvernia and so on…)

And the newly built and pedestrian-unfriendly carpark of macritchie.

 

And i was quite amazed by the intersecting flyovers here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And this road here would normally be packed in peak hours! I took the golden opportunity to take a photo from the middle of the road:

Mount Alvernia and more layered flyovers!

And you can see RJC here:

And another sun and the moon pic!

And another empty road…

Somebody loves to be a vegie..

i came to this place where all the taxi drivers seemed to be coming in to get their taxis cleaned and petroled. And after spotting an ATm machine in such a crowded area, i decided to draw money since i was running low.

and this was interesting..

view of the road ahead from an overhead bridge

And i love this sign!

Another sun and the moon pic! are you getting bored of these?

If you are, try this! this is the mosque and the moon pic! I thought it’ld be nicer if it were a crescent..

SBS busses and taxis rushing out for morning shift

And this sounds funny.. but i could almost ‘smell’ nanyang from here.. And partly, i couldn’t believe that i had gotten all the way here by foot from my cosy little room. Time check..It was 4:38!

The australian school: didn’t really look, but the security guard should have been sleeping if he’s inside.. there were no heads up :P

And i just looove taking the moon. So here it is, in between two trees!

As i was walking by, the pri sch was just being opened by a man.

And i love how the new circle line station turned out! I think it is a magnificent addition to NYJC! Click for a bigger view, folks!

And i was camwhoring on ny! notice that the loge appears in both pics!

Almosstttt there… haha, should be getting late ald, i see ppl jogging!

Now, why didn’t that remind me of the time i used to wke up insanely early to go down to ny to jog?

And in my neghbourhood ald!

And finally… at 5:20 AM the last pic of the series was taken! The pic of my house. now, i’ld be roasted chicken if i go a step further! HAHAH!

The first 105 back to NUS was at 5:40 :( so, i had to go through a long wait. Went down to the coffee shop to have ice-milo and walked around a bit. Had a nice ride in 105 and the freezing cold 95 later. And back to technoedge for a satisfying breakfast before going back to my cosy little room :)

And from my walk-o-meter, ihad taken 36746 steps on the previous homegoing and just 28341 steps on this one.. Geting lost was terrible, but looking back, i treasure both walks and i would gladly do them again :)

Homegoing 2- Meeting up with yesterday’s track… The better way!

Set off at 0036 hrs, from PGP!

This was supposed to be an artistic shot, but.. oh well..

More shots of NUS as i walked out:

 

The Pasir Panjang road, leading tooooo

FONGSENG!! HAHAH! you can see that i crossed the road to reduce effect of temptations :P the prata place was closed anyway,as you can see.

This would be a nice place for my family to move into.. while i’m in NUS.. I’ve grown to love my Segangoon neighbourhood :P

 

 

 

SDE!

 

 

 

 

 

The Entrance to NUS! Had to take 6 shots before i could get a decent swoosh effect!

The empty AYE

 

I really wonder what this is about…

Reached the E-W MRT line at 1:28 AM!

A fat kitty bored with its life:

 

I turned into the ULU Pandan road! and after walking on and on and on…there was no more footpath for about 500m! I had to walk along the road, with those swooshing vehicles.

Now, why do i keep thinking that it were the taxi drivers who swooshed past me?

  Remnants of an unfortunate accident

The end of no-footpath zone!

 

 

 

 

SIM?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A sleeping cabbie

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Blur pic but i love the holland road sign!

 

 

 

 

 

 

I really don’t get this ad :-P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The first petrol station and my first       7-11 along the way!

 

 

 

Finally! Sixth avenue! the place to turn left!

And upon turning left, here’s what i saw:

Managed some self-portraint

  

And… i totally don’t get this ad  :p

The moon above an open field! And a longg road!

This one is entitled: the sun and Moon!

aND FINALLy! a glimpse of the main road at the end: do you see it?

The empty main road:

NY girl’s school and the locked gates of NJC

I remember getting atuck in a traffic jam 4 years ago and having to stare at this park sign for about 20 mins in a hot afternoon, when a group of us decided to crash into NJ during 1st 3 mths. hahah, bad memories! :P

The Hwa chong busstop:

See those two dogs in the centre? They just ran towards me, on the pavement infront! This was more scary than the canopy walk yesterday lah! hahah, but quite cute.. they looked like they had gone for a night run and didn’t really turn to look at me…

 

One of my fav shots of the walk!

See the lamp’s rays at the top left?

looks like it is shining on the moon!

 

 

 

 

Was a bit confused about the way here, but managed to stay on track :)

Back to Adam road! Still can’t believe i went all the way down to orchard to get here yesterday..  Let’s see the time this pic was taken.. 3AM! But my walk-o-meter told me i was just on schedule i had drawn for myself. So, i didn’t drop into the serene centre MAcdonalds. Looking back, i could have grabbed milo and fries or sth.. had plenty of time.

 

Continued in next post!
