My Lasik experience - 5 Aug 2010
On 5 aug 2010, i FINALLY mastered the courage to do something that i procrastinated for years...... i went for my Lasik! :)
the evaluation at Singapore national eye center (SNEC) was just a week earlier and the doctor found me a perfect candidate with thick cornea and not too high 'blindness'. ahahaa... was still hesitant but as fate will have it, there was another candidate 10 years older than me and with astima and lao hua who was also going to do it. He said, " why wait further?" I was inspired.. or rather challenged and felt that i shd just do it. why wait further indeed....
on the day of lasik itself, i was petrified to say the least. I got this problem with eyes stuff lah. never wanted to do anything that may affect my eyes..... but hell, as i was there... not going to back out right? so i endure the kan cheong ness.... and waited for my turn...
within 15 mins of my appointment time, i was urshered into the waiting area of the operating theatres. dripped whatever necessary chemical into my eyes, i was waiting with another patient. She went before me into theatre 1, where they will use laser and cut open a flap in your eyes. She was in and out in a jiffy (5 to 10 mins) and told me happily that it was not painful at all.... i sat with anxiety..... and finally was my turn...
was told to look at green light, red light watever lights and then lying down with my eyes jammed open with a claw, Dr Chan TK operated on my with his laser machine....... zip zip here and there.. and really, i was out in a jiffy....
Round 2.... after the flap is made, the correction must be done in the 2nd theatre... this one took a bit longer.. and there was also the burn smell after they zapped your eyes... I was very tensed and Dr Chan was not able to move my head at all.. hahaaa.. so much for being a brave guy... it took all his experience and all my will power to hold myself in place for the first (right ) eye... the machines did their job after the flap was open. the burnt smell made me wonder if i will ever see again...... but it was fast.. within mins.. it was done..... as they change over to my left eye, i suddenly had a panic attack... first time in my life..was going to scream to ask them to let me go.. then i thgt very pai seh if i do that... so once again, had to muster all my will power to hold myself in place. Claw came, eyeball forced open....flap open.... zap zap zap...... and its done. I am a 6-6 man again!!!!
HAHAA...was a very interesting experience and I am now enjoying the rewards of my bravery. If i may say so, it is really the biggest thing for me in 2010...!! Yeah!!

2 more weeks to the new season!!
2 more weeks to the new season!
The post season has been dominated by the World Cup news and as usual we have seen little action in the transfer market.
We have 2 great stars in the World Cup final. RVP and Fabregas!! Well done, we are proud of you!! But their exertion may cause us their participation in the early weeks of the season.
We have enough power upfront and in midfield. With the likes of Rosicky, Nasri and AA not in the World cup, that means they are well rested and raring to go.
It is the defence that is worrying as we have lost 100 years (hahah...) of experience in the form of Gallas, Silverstre (thank God!!) and Campbell. With only laurent coming in, we need to buy another or two CBs to really beef up the defence.
No sighting of any keepers yet but we really need a World class keeper. Almunia and Fumbleski are really not solution to our problem. Le Boss!! We need a signing...
IF we get the right signings, we are really up there and will win the league!!
Come on Wenger! Show us the signings!!
GO Gunners!!!
