My
Series of Unfortunate Event...
06 Mar 09 : My Favorite Heels broke on the way back home.
07 Mar 09 : Work to Seoul... And I felt really uncomfortable towards the end of the flight. My Eyes
are red and swollen. Tearing non-stop.
Went to the A&E, Hospital... Spent 2 hours there = Shops , restaurant closed = No dinner = room service.
I am suffering from Cornea Erosion.
According to Wikipedia,
Recurrent corneal erosion is a disorder of the eyes characterized by the failure of the cornea's outermost layer of epithelial cells to attach to the underlying basement membrane (
Bowman's layer). The condition is frequently painful because the loss of these cells results in the exposure of sensitive corneal nerves.I was given 3 injections.
The last time I had one was when i was 12, BCG. (That does not include tattoo-ing.)
Tattooing is you had a choice and you are mentally prepared for it.
But for injections,I have always had phobia.
Cos' in the movies, when the bad guys inject a needle into the victim's body ,then, he/she will faint immediately! The side effect will take on you instantly!
So, Yes, I cringed when the doctor announced that I HAVE TO GO THROUGH 3 JABS!
The first one was painful and had the numbing/ blue-black effect that stayed for a day.
The second and third jab, was okay.
The next day, I went back to the hospital and i was relieved when the doctor said that I am healing and my condition is not contagious.
At this point of time, I should be resting in the hotel.
I now declare that I am a shopaholic!
The thought of not going to San Francisco is already
sad enough and to leave Seoul without even going out?
Upon reaching my room, I changed, grab the map and went out!
I LOVE KOREA!!!
Spent ALL the $$$ that I changed! HAA!
This is Retail Therapy.
Next, when I met my supervisor in the lobby, I was told to wear my uniform to clear the custom.This is so last minute that I almost cry with rage!
WTF!My eyes are swollen. They expect me to put on my make-up and wear my uniform? plus contacts? If I can, what's the point of me reporting sick?
I've got no time to argue, so I rushed to the toilet, get changed.
Imagine wearing the uniform without make-up and with your hair in pony tail.
I felt my tears welled up in my eyes.
The best I can do is to put on foundation, blusher and to bun my hair (without hair spray of course).
I hung my head as low as possible and try to stay away from the crowd in airport.
As bad as the day gets, this
senior girl came forward and commented that my hair
"cannot make it".
I bit my lips. I refuse to admit defeat! Luckily, the other nicer girls came forward and chatted with me.
I was distracted,slightly.
Since the aircraft has not arrived, this girl offered her hair spray to me. I was truly touched.
After I fixed my hair, I went on to introduce myself to the others.
That girl, ignored me and looked away when I offered my hand shake.
I felt like a slap on my face.So I skipped her and went on to the next girl, who was in shock too.
I wondered, what have I done wrong?
To fall sick and conned by the people and missed my SFO and there goes my $$$?
I believe in karma- what comes around, goes around.
SHE is etched in memory. I will always remember her and make sure I will never get to see her again!
Well, in the afternoon, i went to TTSH to follow up on my condition.
The Doctor says that I am healing and have to stay away from contact lend for at least 2 weeks.
I was given a 7 days MC and a memo stating my condition.
07 Mar 09 - 14 Mar 09 : I'm suppose to be in Seoul - San Francisco. But now, back home and MC for 1 week.
Life is a roller coaster ride.I am at the LOWEST point of my life. What could be worst? In such economic condition, with 7 days MC? I feel insecure in my career.
Yes,
Blueberry forever.
