Farewell, Kian Yong

To all S3A,

We have lost a friend. A friend that we have spent years together in a class. All the laughter and tears, we will never forget. Now he had left us, to a better place. We are going to miss him.
This song is ours, remind us the joyful time in Yu Yuan. This song... is for him. Farewell... Kian Yong.

Everybody's got something they had to leave behind
One regret from yesterday that just seems to grow with time
There's no use looking back or wondering
How it could be now or might have been
Oh this I know but still I can't find ways to let you know

I've never had a dream come true
Till the day that I found you
Even though I pretend that I've moved on
You'll always be my baby
I never found the words to say
You're the one I think about each day
And I know no matter where life takes me to
A part of me will always be with you

Somewhere in my memory
I've lost all sense of time
And so my road can never be cos yesterday is all that fills my mind
There's no use looking back or wondering
How it could be now or might have been
Oh this I know but still I can't find ways to let you go

I've never had a dream come true
Till the day that I found you
Even though I pretend that I've moved on
You'll always be my baby
I never found the words to say
You're the one I think about each day
And I know no matter where life takes me to
A part of me will always be

You'll always be the dream that fills my head
Yes you will, say you will, you know you will
Oh baby, you'll always be the one I know I'll never forget
There's no use looking back or wondering
Because love is a strange and funny thing
No matter how I try and try I just can't say goodbye
No no no no

I've never had a dream come true
Till the day that I found you
Even though I pretend that I've moved on
You'll always be my baby
I never found the words to say (words to say)
You're the one I think about each day
And I know no matter where life takes me to
A part of me will always be
A part of me will always be with you

Thank you for the little surprise. I will act blur next time. Hee...

A small yet heart warming birthday party prepared by my fellow colleague. Thank you! My birthday were normally like a normal day. My parents are not into celebrating birthday. The only special things we did on birthday is dine out. There are 3 memorable birthday, 5th/6th, 18th and 21st. These are the birthday when I had party.

Post-LASIK

Auf wiedersehen my lovely spec! Lets celebrate the freedom of my eye~

Thanks + a big hug to my sis, my colleagues and my friends. I am recovering well, and I have achieved 6/6 perfect vision. Special thanks to Dr. Lee :)

remembering the day of surgery:

1. Register at the counter @ 9 a.m, wait for a pre-LASIK check up. To reassure the condition of your eyes are stable and suitable for LASIK.
   
2. While waiting, a nurse came to confirm my identity and ask if I have brought any sun glasses along and was there anyone to bring me home. If not, she will give me a pair of goggles and guide me to the taxi stand after the surgery. I was given anesthesia eye drop right after the check up.
3. Waited for 30 minutes. Another anesthesia eye drops and antiseptic eye drops. Nurse cleaned my eye area with some yellowish solution (I guess is some chemical solution with high alcohol content).
4. Lying... waiting for the Dr. Lee. Guess he was adjusting the strength of the laser. I was feeling nervous, really nervous. Started with my right eye, he used surgical "masking tape" to "tape" the eye lashes area and then opened up my eyelid with a metallic equipment. After that, he is used something to touch my eye ball and then something else was covering my vision. "1... 2... 3... begin suction"! That is when I was frighten. I think I have miss out knowing this part. Didn't know that suction is needed in order to cut a an opening on my cornea (so that my eye will not move around during the cutting). Again... something was moving on my eye then vision gone very blur (cornea was lift up).
   
5. Nothing much special during the laser-ing. To me it is kind of hard to focus on the red light and it is tiring. Smell something burning.
6. The operation was done in less then 20 mins? This is the most difficult time when anesthesia starting to fade away. I felt great discomfort and keep tearing.
   
7. 2 sleeping pills were given which will put me to sleep for the whole day, 5 days MC, and 3 types of eye drops.
   
8. The very moment I opened my eyes after the long sleep, miracle happened. It is crystal clear, my vision! :) I need to go back for follow check-up after 1 day, week, month and year.
   

I have paid SGD 3180.00 for the surgery, SGD 24.00 for the eye drops, SGD 68.00 for the first check-up and SGD 48.00 for the 2nd check-up. I know... it is expensive. However I believe this investment will last at least 20 years.

FYI: Dr Lee has left TTSH. He told me that he's going private. The new clinic is near botanic garden.
