The sole of my left foot has been hurting me for the past few days. At first, I thought it was no big deal and endured with the pain. However, there was a limit to my tolerance.
I decided to get to the bottom of it. Literally.
WARNING: The picture below may cause discomfort to some people.
Though that particular part looked dry as usual, it seemed slightly lighter in colour and swollen. Bearing with the pain, I decided to cut open the dry skin forcefully with a nailclipper.
To my astonishment, pus oozed out!!!!! There is actually a hole which contains the pus previously!!!! The picture which shows the hole was taken after I cleared the pus. I didn't want to disgust people with my body fluid. =p
Thank god I found out early. I wonder what will happen to my foot if I let the problem persist.
My sole still kind of hurts now. I wonder what caused the swell. Hmmm...Hope my foot heals soon....

Daily vs Monthly
For more than a month, I have been feeding myself some supplements daily with the aim of achieving better health and skin.
Evening Primrose Oil 1000mg/day Popular supplement for managing premenstrual tension. Anti-inflammatory effects that benefits eczema and other skin and inflammatory conditions. Vitamin C 500mg/day Vitamin C is an antioxidant and can protect your body from free radicals, which may cause heart disease and cancer. Vitamin C helps your immune system and is responsible for producing collagen. Amino Collagen 5000mg/day Collagen is a powerful long-term anti-ageing protein. It improves the skin's elasticity and suppleness, reducing lines and wrinkles.
I started on the collagen a week ago and have stopped for the moment due to medication. However, I feel that my skin is slightly better now. Hmmm...心理作用?
However, despite the constant feedings of the vitamins, I still get sick every month. *Sighs* The following is what I feed myself monthly:
Procodin Syrup 30ml/day a.k.a. Cough Syrup Obviously, it is for cough. And it makes me drowsy everytime. Debridat 100mg/tab For stomach wind. Dimenhydrinate 50mg/tab For nausea and giddiness.
If I am sick, it is usually the two illnesses: Flu or Gastritis (Gastric flu). What trigger me to be sick? Usually it starts with a sorethroat. Once I get it, I will start to cough, then it is flu and eventually fever. The latter is when I eat too much. This time is the best, I have both cough and gastric flu!!!! Why like that!!!! I thought I can heal myself this time and not let the doctor earn my hard-earned money again. But after wasting 2 days of lying on my sofa and thinking I will be better the next day, I still made my way to the clinic. *Sighzzz* I really hate to see the doctor. He must be thinking, "What? You again? Trying to fake MC ijit?" But I never get MC ok!!!! However, his clinic was closed when I wanted to visit him this time. Thus, I went to see another doctor instead and a question from him surprised me. Doctor: "Are you stressed?" Of course I am la!!!!! Me: "Ya...quite..." Doctor: "Ok, try not to be so stressed k..." Me: "Ok..." So stress is the cause of my illness? Now I know why.... If I don't want to fall sick again, I must not be too stressed? But how to not be stressed? So that means I will continue to fall sick loh.... Haiz.....
/me pops another pill down. =.....(

Underwater Musuem
Underwater Musuem, Egypt
The first underwater museum to be built. It will be located off the coast of Egypt, near the new Library of Alexandria, where Cleopatra once had a palace on an island in one of the largest human-made bays in the world back in the day, submerged by earthquakes in the 4th century. The building will have four tall structures shaped like the sails of fellucas, the traditional sailboats used in the Nile. Visitors will be able to view antiquities such as statues, roman and greek shipwrecks and pieces believed to be from the Pharos of Alexandria lighthouse (which are not moved in fear of damage), lying on the seabed via underwater fiberglass tunnels.
Ruins found underwater
Construction is expected to take only three years, so we would be able to visit it pretty soon.
I can't wait to visit this musuem!!! But must wait till I save enough $$$$ first. = (
Finally, the long-awaited concert took place last Saturday!!!!! It was the Amei Star Tour 2008!!!!! Yea!!!!!!!! Wee Weeee!!!!!!
While waiting for the concert to start.... The 101th shot? The excitment begins!!!! Check out the fierce settings. All of us were so anticipating Amei to appear from that curtain. Let the party begin!!!!! Amei in her bling bling Wonderwoman suit. Time for slow songs and thus the long whitey princessy dress which was my favourite outfit of the night. Love it to bits and the love songs of course. Super clear shot man. 阿妹!!! 我愛你!!!!! But I wonder why must they always have a feather stuck onto their hair? Hmmm.... I simply love her singing love songs. There were so many moments when I almost cried out. She even walked down to the outer stage to be nearer to us. She took turns to sing to each of the 4 sides and she sang a different song at each side and every song was a signature love song of her. We were supposed to sing along with her and there was a fierce competition in the entire Indoor Stadium. When it was finally the turn of our side, she actually sang my song!!! Yes!! My song ok!!!! 我恨我愛你. I almost cried can!!! Touching loh...sobz...
She even sang "If I Ain't Got You" by Alicia Keys. So damn freaking good loh!!!! Now back to fast songs. And this time even more sexier, especially with the macho hunks around. Check out those abs!!!! *droolzzzz* Love this pink outfit too. Check out the height of her heels! Think at least 5 inches loh! I wonder how she can dance in them man. For 3 freaking hours somemore!!!!! I think I will most probably have leg cramps after half an hour. 阿妹, 真有你的!!!! She even knew how to play the electric guitar!!!! Woot!! Pity that Dear took the video in the wrong angle. Haiz. And Lin Qi Yuan who is a member of 夢飛船 was actually one of her back-up singers too...hee... Time for encore!!!!! And it actually last for almost an hour!!!! The longest encore I have ever seen. Everyone was so high and we were standing and dancing throughout the whole concert. She mentioned that Stefanie Sun (who is another fave idol of mine) is one of her good friends and she decided to sing her 成名曲 - "天黑黑". So niccceeeeee. Sorry for the angle again and my voice at the background. Hee. All the band members and dancers even went on stage. So damn high loh. At some point of time, I did not even know where Amei was. She kind of blended in with the crowd. Haha. Why is Amei kneeling with so many people around her? She was actually holding the microphone while her dancers sang a verse of her famous song "Bad Boy". Dear Dear missed the final shot of the 'fireworks'. Only managed to capture the smoke. Amei is really leaving liao... Amei is gone!!!! No more liao!!!! Boo Hoo hoo!!!!!
Now that I have watched Amei's concert, I have no more regrets!!!! Amei ROX!!!! I always thought Singaporeans are too restricted and face-conscious that they always have a calm attitude in concerts. But I was proven wrong this time. Everyone was so sporting and high!!!! The audience even sang an entire song without Amei singing a single verse!!! The last time I experienced everyone singing together loudly was during school assembly when they played the national anthem I guess. Almost all were standing, dancing and singing along with Amei throughout the concert. It was maciam like a KTV and clubbing session. Even the fluoroscent light tubes were sold out!!!! Can you believe that? OMG!!! I guess no other concerts can be this high and entertaining. Only Amei has the capability to do this. I kept talking about the high-ness that I almost forgot to talk about her singing skills. Of course they were magnificient!!!! Amei leh! I wish I can sing like her man. Haiz. Power can!!!!! AMEI ROX!!!!!! 阿妹!!! 我愛你!!!!! Initially, we expected ourselves to be very high and intended to go for KTV after the concert. However, we decided to call it off after the concert. Simply because, my feet hurt with all the standing and dancing, and my voice was coarse after the excessive screaming and singing. 阿妹!!! 我愛你!!!!! *sssccrrreeeaaammmmmzzzz*
A Mei Star Tour 2008 5* / 5*

Friday
I always thought going to a manicure shop is a waste of money since I can always do it myself. However, it has been a long time since I went to one, Xiujiao suggested going and since Dear's brother wedding was coming, I thought why not? After spending $62, it reaffirmed my belief and told myself I am not going to a manicure in the near time soon.
The final product....
After manicure, we proceeded to Bugis for dinner at Shokudo and some cosmetics shopping at BHG. And can anyone remember what BHG stand for? It means..... Be Here for Good things When I knew the meaning, I thought "Huh? What the hell?". And I thought I will remember it. However, after some time, when I try to recall again, I knew it is something crappy but I just cannot remember what it is!!!!! And when I get to know the meaning again, it's like "Ohhhhhh yaaa...it is like this!!!" And the whole cycle repeats again.
Dinner@Shokudo
After dinner, I met up with 3 Pinkies who happened to be in Bugis as well for a short chit-chat session. They can just talk and talk and talk and talk....right from the moment I met them...to the moment we parted.....just 3 girls...but can talk and talk and talk and talk.........I can imagine when we are old....they will still talk and talk and talk and talk....about the same old topics....how they used to put plastic bags over heads....how they like to snap the bra straps of each other....how one of them pulled down the shorts of another....how one of them fell down while marching....how they pontem St.John....blar blar blar.... Alright, I guess that is enough blabbering on what I did on Friday....*yawnz* -_-ZZZZ

Changed?
Today is Dear's brother's wedding and here I am in his brother's room, surfing net to kill my time while they went to pick up the bride.
I am so bored that I am reading through my past blog entries.
And I realised my style of blogging has changed.
I used to sound angrier and funnier.
Now, I sound more sentimental, sad and dull.
Am I becoming boring?

Trust
"Trust is important in a relationship and is the engine for keeping the relationship running."
I used to believe in it. Trust is really fundamental in order to maintain a successful relationship.
However, I beg to differ now.
Would it be better if there is no trust in a relationship?
With the absence of trust, it acts as a shield. When you are lied to, the hurt is minimal as the commitment was absent in the first place. It is when you have been deceived by this person whom you have trusted with all your heart, the hurt caused is the most immense.
However, when there is no trust, you will be suspicious and having doubts about the partner and the relationship all the time. "Is he lying to me again?" "Is he having an affair?" “Should I continue this relationship?”You even become suspicious of his family and friends as they were accomplices before. There is no one else you can trust.
Why must someone lie? It could be a white lie or the original intention may be to cover up for a very small mistake or ill intention. But a lie will just lead on to another lie. The snowballing will lead to this huge lie which can be unforgivable. You may think that you have a foolproof plan but somehow, the truth will be revealed eventually. So why lie? Even if you really managed to pull through, don’t you feel guilty? Your conscience will be biting on you on the time. Is it worth it?
Does it hurt to tell the truth? Perhaps you may be ticked off for that one mistake. But when you lie and got found out, that is another additional mistake and the latter has even more serious consequences. You rather commit two mistakes then come clean in the first place? You rather break the trust that someone has for you then to confess to a harmless act?
Is it really so hard to tell the truth?
I was cheated and I told myself to trust again. And I did. Yet now, I am deceived again. Can I ever trust someone again?
Can trust really be earned back? Or will a scar always remain in your heart?
I love you, thus I forgive you. But what if I learn to trust you again and I am deceived again? Who should I blame then? You, who cheats on me? Or simply myself for allowing you to cheat me again?
I am torn.
What should I do?

Updates
Time for some updates as it seems that quite a handful of people does not know what is happening to me now exactly.
I have already started my school semester in August but I did not really do much for my thesis as I was still working till end of August. For the past September, my progress for my thesis had been rather slow too, mainly due to my tuitions. *Sighs* I know I know. I said I will not slack this time round but I still need to eat mah. No money how to eat? *Sobz* However, after next week, I will be eating 西北風 (jobless) as both of my students are in Primary 6 and PSLE ends next week. Perhaps it is a good thing as I will be able to concentrate on my thesis finally. Hibernation!!!!!!! I guess I have enough savings and not forgetting Dear who will help me tide over this period of time till end of the year. Hee.
If I managed to pass this time...no...not if....I must pass!!!! After my final crit, I will rest for a around a month while sending in my resumes. Hopefully I will commence work by January. I will try for the banking perhaps. Shall see how it goes. If not I will just stick back to my architecture industry. I would love to go for a vacation before I start slogging as a 9-5 worker. I doubt it will be 9-5 too. *Sighs* But I would have to see how much savings I have left for a vacation. Most probably it will be rather minimal after spending on my submission panels and model. *Double sighs*
So I guess these are my latest updates for now. Don't worry guys, feel free to ask me out. I can still afford time in the midst of my hibernation. Hee.
And since it is Children's Day today, I wish all the children in Singapore a Happy Children's Day!!!! But too bad for the Primary 6 kids as they still have to study and have tuitions to prepare for their PSLE which starts this Friday. Hari Raya and Children Day on the same day. The kids are shortchanged by 1 holiday this year. Wahaha. And Congratulations to our dear Yumei as she has just given birth to a daughter on this very special day too!!!!! 恭喜恭喜!!!!!!
1st October 2008 is such a joyous day worth rejoicing over. Lalalalalalalalalala........
Congratulations and Happy Children's Day and Selamat Hari Raya Puasa!!!!!!!!!
