Omg! Conjunctivitis and a 5 day break
right... so since last wednesday, I had problems sleeping due to the itch in my right eye. Thought all I need was just eyedrops and stuff like that. And maybe the pillow in camp was just too dirty. Little did I know that after doing all the sai kang in the rain on Friday, my eyes go so bad at night after book out that mucus (better known as mak sai) kept the eyelids stuck together. Believe me, the sight was disgusting.. imagine strands of green stuff connecting the top of your eye lashes to the bottom when you open your eyes. And boy did it hurt too.. my eyes were swollen on Saturday morning and I could barely open them when the mucus dried during the night. Paaaaaaaaaain...
.....until like 12pm on Sunday when I've seen the specialist. It wasn't just only that the eyedrops did wonders, her 5 days of MC given to me was just 'wow!'. Ok, jokes aside.. so what I had was conjunctivitis, a severe case of sore eyes that is highly contagious. One of the eyedrops given was setrile solution so strong that it was opague.
In any case, what happened at the specialist was interesting. Upon checking out my eyes, she asked if I had done anything unusual or been anywhere recently..
"Nothing unusual...but I did go to Thailand last year tho, been a couple of months"
"Thailand? Did you do anything funny there?" .. my parents were around.
"No.. not at all, why?"
"Because Gonorrhea has similar symptoms. I just want to be sure. It may require different medication too"
Then my parents had to chup "I think we should leave you two alone"
"Why? No need, he's an adult already. Besides, if such things were to happen, he should come clean" said the doc.
Fuck did I feel like an idiot.
"In any case, I didn't do anything stupid lah. Can be hereditary anyway.."
At last my dad shut up. I wonder what crossed their mind at the thoughts that their son had a possibilty of having gonorrhea. But that isn't the end.. After I went home, I decided to check the web about this STD too. Just out of curiosity, only to leave the explorer window open when I went out. Unsuprisingly, my dad used the com while I was out and upon noticing what I've been reading, he accused me of 'blahblahblah' when I returned home. Fuck was it a long night. =
Would've been an interesting night too. I visited Sijia's chalet as an uninvited guest as I was supposed to just meet Jit to watch a soccer match at fFsherman's village. Thanks to Jit's usual indecivisveness, we ended up sitting outside the chalet for 3 hours doing nothing. Pfft. I didn't really want to enter too as I wasn't all comfy with the guest who WERE invited. Here's the interesting bit. A little food for thought from Yx. He mentioned that despite all the laughts he had on me, he did wonder how a guy like me, who doesn't speak too much to his parents, doesn't have a girlfriend, no siblings ever had a chance to share his affection.. of any kind to anybody.
That made me wonder too. Am I that emotionless or shallow? Is it only simple fun that I seek when I hang out with my friends? Just a few hours of laugther and crap-talking? My social life seems so superficial eh. Just that deep.
Those words made me wonder if there's a whole lot of emotion inside me.. a greater part of me that hasn't began to feel yet. Maybe that explains uneasiness I have before sleeping.. regrets on how I've been treating my parents and how would I live when they're gone.. fantasies (decent ones) about having a girlfriend in the near future, someone whom I can share everything I like with.. worries on what if the buncha my friends begin to pursue their goals in life and split up in time to come, could I live independently and move on too, or still stay like the self-pitying nostalgic fool that I've always been?
Some food for thought indeed. I need to think about my life now that I'm almost done with national service. Some improvements have to be made that give my life some meaning.. I can't possibly live the next few years only looking forward to weekends to meet up with friends and spend my money and time on something that yields nothing. Hopefully, soon enough, I'll be able to go to sleep with ease without having to tire myself out with games or whatsoever beforehand.
I hope I hadn't offend anyone with this post. In any case, it's been a long day.. long post too. And long day ahead tomorrow. Off to Zzzland...pretty much with ease now that I'm beat.
