The story of the swollen eyes...

25th May, 2008

A planned trip to london was cancelled..Uhuh, sgt keciwa tak dapat bershop2 di london..I had an imaginary list of things to hunt on that day. Tetapi awal2 pagi dapat message letting me know, semuanya tak sehat..So, a friend from Oxford came to visit..not to visit me, he was more excited to visit the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge! oh yes, also H&M. They dont have this retail shop in Oxford, so he bought himself some shirts. I bought a turqoise santai handbag for myself. Murah aja..... ;) We visited the 461 year old King's Chapel in Kings College too..Never failed to mesmerize its visitors...

Petang itu, meet up with 'the girls' and ate spaghetti at K. Zetty's house. K.Lin cooked ayam kari..Lazzat...and the desert, wah so irresistable - Meringue nest, chopped strawberry, topped with whipped cream..Nyum..nyum..Sambil tu tgk final AF..Stacy menang...

Yay..suke..suke...Mind you, twas our de-stressing day ;)

Mata berair, mata merah, mata bengkak, vision kabur, light sensitive, body balancing instable = stayed in the dark for 2 damn days! Went to pharmacy (cuz medical practice were close), and was given 'brolene', an eye drop for mild bacterial infections. Ya rite, it wasn't mild, I figured after 2 days of stagnant devastating condition. Oleh kerana terlalu bengkak mata, tak nampak jalan ke pharmacy. Tapi I bersengkang mata untuk cycle to town! At that time, I can still open my eyes. During the night, it worsen!! I cant expose my eyes to the light at all. So, no laptop, no tv, no outdoor activities! Basically, I slept most hours. Sampai dah tak larat nak tidur.

Monday morning, I woke up at 5am and felt hungry. So pergi kitchen to goreng telur. Kununnyer nak makan sandwich je. Then I terpikir, why not I masak for lunch terus, sementara takde orang berjaga kan? Makanya...i pun sarung mata lalat i (sunglass), masuk kitchen again n goreng ikan! Sambil tu masak nasi n potong tomatoes..Wah..i was blinded remember..So semuanya kene raba2 je barang2 kt dapur tu. Frying the salmon was the most challenging part, cuz I can't make sure if it's cooked or not! Redah aja dong...


When I almost done, there was a guy tibe2 plak masuk dapur..What the heaven, kan! (polite sket) What is he doing berjaga this early?? Being aware that I looked ridiculous in shades, at 5am in the kitchen, I automatically declared

Me : oh sorry, i have an eye infection
- apekehal?? mamat tu tak cakap ape pun??

White guy : oh..ok, take care of urself

haih...sopan betul orang malaysia ni...silap tempat yer kawan2......


Anwyayy...later that evening, K.Lin n K. Zetty came to visit me..How nice...They brought pizza, garlic bread n muschroom soup. Oh yes, sainsburry's doghnut as well..We ate sambil tgk tv. But I cant enjoy it very much as I my vision has worsened by then. Kesian tetamu2 kene layan diri sendiri cuz at one point I have to lie down to ease the pain..Tapi terharu bangat ada pelawat...sob..sob..thanks girls.. ~hugs~ wished they can stay longer, but K.Zetty has to fly off to france the next day n its getting late anyway..so terpaksa la mereka balik.


This is how bad it was...ooh, scary or wat!

Insaf seketika....Of all the disabilities in the world, losing my eyesight is the most horrifying to me. Ive always prayed prayed prayed for that NOT to happen. Hmmm..walaupun my eyes selalu sembap mcm panda (that's wat Kenn used to call me), i cant ask for more...

I woke up early again..of course, takde bende nak buat..So I called the medical practice sharp at 8.30am to make an appointment with the GP. I have to call a few times, cuz no one answered!Hellow..8.30 tak bukak lagi ker? Finally...apointment nya at 9.40! I was wondering how in the world can I cycle to the GP? So I decided to take the cab...thank goodness jgk K.Lin willing to temankan that morning. I asked her bcuz I takut I tak nmpak jalan balik. Thanks K.Lin! ~hugs~

I didnt get to see my personal GP, but any doctors would do. Luckily he said, this is normal for contact lense wearers, rarely impose major issues. Lega hati chek....He gave me a precription of an antibiotic called chloramphenicol..bende ni hari2 I guna kat lab! Kalau tau, boley jer I pipette (titis) dalam mata sendiri..LOL

my first prescription in england

After the check up, we went to the pharmacy to amik my ubat. I wonder, kalau sakit lagi teruk, do they still expect patients to walk all the way to the pharmacy to get the medicines? Memang tak logikk (version kak karena in Ezora tv3..LOL)

Then, I ajak K.Lin breakfast kat COSTA jap..Treat her hot chocolate and plain butter croissant..Happy sket la ni...tp still exhausted..See..

Kak Lin muka Happy....

My muka sadis...

Hmm..Friday smells good...

*hope weekend kali ini lebih productive*

I'm off....
