An Awkward Day

I took leave today, thinking that I can go get my nano. Early morning the singnet technician came and gave me the voucher. I arranged for him to come at 10, was still worrying that he might be late, causing me to be late for my med appt too, but guess what time he came? He came at 0930, when I am still sleeping soundly, had a late night, slept at 3+. Ok, back to my nano. I took leave thinking that after he pass me the voucher, I can go down to the shop to get my nano. Who knows that it is only available after 16 Nov. Haiz =( Think I will go get my ezgoing nano case first. Need some help here, I cant decide which color is nice. So those who read this please kindly post some comments on which color should i get. Thanks! Suppose to have orange and green, but dun know why its not available on the website.

Today is the most awkward day of my life!! Went to CGH for med appt for my rashes and skin problem. For the first time the waiting time was quite fast. Went into the doctor's room and suprised to see another trainee doctor inside. Both are females. =b The awkard thing is that my rashes are just below my navel. Then the doctor told me to pull down my boxers to show her how serious it was. After looking she asked me to pull lower to my pxxxx hair area (she thought that it was infected as well) . So I got no choice but to do so, having 2 females looking at that area. I was feeling so so so awkward and frozen at that moment. I don't even dare to look down. HAHA. A thing to be happy for was that I'm given 2 days MC to rest at home. But this happiness doesn't come alone. I'm having problem trying to think of how to explain this to my specs in camp, cos lately I have been given MC quite often. But the officers and sgts just don't understand. Will someone choose to be sick, when he can be healthy? No one right? Somemore the MCs are given by hospital specialists and my camp's medical officer. Not from some private clinic where they give MC easily. My cases are all real, so I'm not bothered when ppl say i zao geng (act sick). They just don't understand. As if I have a choice to choose. Who doesn't want to be healthy, right? NS is just 2 yrs, but my life still carry on after that. I don't wish to make myself so sick just bcos of NS.

After appt, when home to rest. As usual first thing I do is empty my pockets and turn on computer. Saw Jasmine online, she is one of my primary school friend. Lost in touch but recently get to chat with her in friendster, saw her last week at heartland mall also. Quite surprised that we chatted quite alot and don't feel shy or awkward, cos we don't really talk much in primary school. And its like after 7 - 8 yrs, the first time we really chat with each other. So its amazing. Haha. Talking about amazing. She kept saying that I'm amazing. She's amazed bout the things I know about her. LOL =O Chatted with her and melissa online the whole afternoon. It was also raining the whole afternoon. Super mega hyper loud thunders roaring around. Thank God for the rain which makes the weather cooler :)

Have been praying alot for my health recently. My skin problem, nose problem and also for my wisdom tooth. Especially my skin problem. It keeps coming and going and I am quite annoyed and disturbed by it. =( Really affected my life alot. Feel very stress about it, sometimes even thought that the only way to solve it once and for all is to die? :X But really thank God for the Holy Spirit guiding me. I realize that dying will not solve everything. I will only die when Christ has finish His work in me. And I shouldn't be too troubled by the illness and how other ppl look at me. Our sufferings in this world is only temporary, so I shouldn't be too bothered by it. Its peace, joy and all the good things that are waiting for me in heaven that I should look foward to. Thank God for the cross, that makes all this possible, to be able to look foward to our future with great peace and joy. Amen.
