i just came back from CCK polyclinic half an hr ago. i've an small op. on my ears. basically my newly pierced earholes got infected and my ear studs happened to find its way inside my ear lobes and got stuck there. the studs were being left inside the ear lobes for 3 days and the holes were already sealed back! so what to do? i only had to visit the doctor @ the polyclinic. i went yesterday @ ard 9am. i've to queue to get my registration no., see a doc, book an appointment and get my medicine @ the pharmacy. by the time i finished my consultation, it was 12.30pm. so today when i've an appointment at 8am. i woke up at 6.45am and reached there at ard 7.30am. by then there's a queue outside the entrance even b4 it's officially opened. i managed to wait for my turn at the registration counter at ard 8am. unfortunately the clerk said i need to register by myself at the self registration counter. urgh! i wasted 15 mins queuing up for nothing! by the time i went inside the consultation room, it was already 8.45am cos the doctor was late. the doctor is called Dr Dava. She's very nice and friendly. throughout the whole process, she and two nurses were there to assist me. first of all, Dr Dava used alcohol to sterlize my ears b4 she inject to numb my ears completely. then she used a small blade to cut open my earlobes. fortunately i dont feel any pain. otherwise i'll die frm pain! she started to pull the earrings out of my ears. there's so much blood coming out even the nurses think it's gross to look! i closed my eyes throughout the whole process and i'm practically shaking throughout!! the process took ard 15mins b4 it's offically over!! i got to keep my bloodied earrings as souveirs. Dr Dava said that i can even buy earrings and ask her to put on for me since there's ear holes at my ear lobes now. i told her that i'll dare to pierce my ears after this frightening experience!! i've pierced my ears 3 TIMES in my life already. i've enough of all this! :D right now i had two thick bandages pasted on my ear lobes and the two nurses joked with me that those are my new earrings! so lame! but i find that all of them are very nice to talk to. when they were bandaging my ear lobe, i asked them is it masking tape that they are pasting on my ears. they started to laugh and said, 'yah right! after that we are going to put super glue to glue the bandage to ur ears!' hahaha!! they are so humorous! they told me that yesterday they did something similar to another patient who also had her earring studs stuck inside her ear holes juz lyk me! so coincidence! but she only had one ear lobe injured but i had two. but both of us had to pay the same consultation fee, S$35.
i finally got my enrolment package frm NYP yesterday. there's so many things to be done by the end of this month! there's medical checkup, school fees to be paid of, lots of forms waiting for me to fill up. the good thing is that i dont have to buy laptop! :)
