of rosy daydreams and pretty bubbles

let's see here......hmm..

I was trying on some clothes last week..

1 - kimino top from TUBEE! Jazzy n SY's blogshop! my very first kimono top..uh oh! start of more to come (:

2 - next one is some cheongsam which I bought 2 years ago?? bought I've nv worn it..maybe tis CNY! see how la..really lazy to dress nicely for any occasion..even when I wear nice dresses I match it with the same plain black slippers haha..

3 - my fave dress! kinda have some sentimental value to me??? cos I was wearing this the first time I met my bf..(bet he can't remember tho boo lol) I've had it for some time but I've only work it.........thrice -_- becos I'm too short n the material is kinda heavy so it keeps sliding down..I recently had it altered..TOO SHORT! so now it has become a top..haha..

n this is me 3-4 days after my lasik! have to wear sunglasses everywhere..n er..without an ounce of makeup..can't put makeup to reduce infection..so I look very shitty n extremely freckly! nono not gonna show u =PpP not nice!

so my lasik was over n done with in 3 weeks! actually I first went to the doctor as my eyes were paining me..u know my constant eye irritation n VERY frequent usage of eyedrops for the past TWO YEARS..I couldn't take it anymore..plus I was scared of going blind..my eyes were actually off white-yellowish EEEEE! n so he said my eyes were like that due to my sensitivity..eczema n asthmatic history..n that my best option was to go for lasik..but as my eyes were still red he couldn't diagnose properly n told me to go back after another week..

so I went back again the next week..did a few tests..pupil dilation test to see if I was suitable for lasik n dunno what..n ok! can! arranged for pre-lasik consulation followed by my lasik itself last week..Mon n Tues..I said I wanted it ASAP..but I didn't think it would be so soon u know..I was really scared..not enough mental preparation haha..I didn't even have much time to read up on it =/

it was held at Shaw House..AsiaMedic! on Mon I spent 20 mins looking into machines as they scanned my eyes n everything..to test my power..capture images of my iris (iris thumbprint she said?) as it is unique only to me..so no mistakes in using someone else's eye information..check if my cornea was thick enough to do lasik etc..super fast..I was told that pre-tests would take at least 2 hours!

n on Tues..my lasik was scheduled at 9 am..didn't have breakfast..BIG MISTAKE..I was nervous n jumpy n all..the doc explained what to expect during the procedure ..had to sign some kind of indemity form..he said I still could back out if I wanted to! but siao ah..go so far already..my gramps was there with me..she paid for the whole thing! (: had to wear the medical gown..I have no idea what it the right word for it..plus the cap thing..there were 5 ppl inside the operating theatre..2 nurses..1 doc..2 engineers..the moment I stepped inside it felt SURREAL..as if I was in a parallel dimension..cos the room was so so so WHITE..n so clean..n COLD..it was a freezer..can't let the machines overheat! n the operating table..VERY SCARY! in the middle of the room..WAH..I nv imagined it to be like that..luckily the nurses were very friendly!

so I slowly climbed onto the table..n the nurse gave me those thick heavy blankets..which was very good becos I gripped them very very very hard during the lasik to calm myself down..

first after I lay down..they placed a special kind of pillow under my head..very nice n soft n mouldable to the shape of the head..so that you can't move..haha..after that they adjusted the machine over my head..n it got very bright..they did my right eye first! preparation..administration of anaesthetic eyedrops..just the eye..one drop! then they taped my eyelashes back..top n bottom..followed by using a ring-like speculum to prop the eyelids open so that I couldn't blink..this was very uncomfortable....I mean imagine ur eyelids being stretched wide open zzz..after that they pasted a whole tape over my face..so that only the part of the eye that was going to be cut was visible..it got a bit freaky here becos one min I could see..next min it got blur..a flap was cut in my cornea..n the doc lifted it up! felt kinda helpless..awake n lying there as my cornea is being lifted!!! super weird..but it didn't hurt at all..not one bit..the doc told me to look at the blinking light in front of me..followed by the laser..for 30 secs! they counted down for me..could hear sounds from the machine..n 5..4..3..2..1..HURRAY! the doc washed my eye b4 putting the flap down..n removed all the tape n everything b4 starting on my next eye..

my left eye was trickier! cos when they did my first eye..I was fine..I didn't move or anything..but I have no idea why..when they started on my next eye..I started feeling dizzy n I wanted to puke! but I was already lying down there..no choice! had to tahan..n the right side..didn't hurt at all..but when my left eyelid was propped open I felt pain..not very but enough tp make me feel alarmed as the right eye didn't hurt at all..so to be safe..I was afraid that the anaesthetic wasn't enough..rather more than less right this kinda thing haha..so I kept saying PAIN PAIN PAIN..so..another drop..same thing! but this round laser was 36 secs!

the whole procedure took 20 mins..v fast right! the laser only 30 n 36 secs! the rest was the preparation!

immediately after that he told me to try n open my eyes..there wasn't any pain at all then..just the sensation of..sand in the eyes..n very hard to open! had to force myself to open them..n he told me to try n tell the time on the clock in front of me..a bit blurry at first..but..I COULD SEE! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...............................

n so yeah! I conclude that it is one of the best things ever! the sand in the eye feeling only lasted for a day..n it didn't even hurt..sore eyes are way more painful..my eyes are just a bit dry in the morning when I wake up..n I have to keep putting antibiotic drops n lubricating drops..but I'm seeing as right as rain! (: I've already gone back for 2 reviews..one the day after lasik n a week after it..which was yesterday..n he said my eyes are healing very well..n my vision is almost perfect..u have no idea how happy I was to hear that..

WHOOPEEDOO! no more specs n contact lenses! n I will look after my eyessssssss..in fact it feels quite like a dream..after so many years of being short-sighted..(since pri 1)..now I can wake up n see clearly! n I keep thinking that I have to take out my lenses b4 I sleep..

the feeling is simply amazing! so happy with it..

ok I've finished with the lasik bit..sorry it was a bit lengthy..in fact..very..

some pics of my baby boy! taken b4 lasik -_- the night b4 I was very afraid that I would go blind n never be able to see him again lololol..so I sat by his cage n took pics of him! kua kua..
