• Dryness of the skin, lips, mouth, and lining of the nose. Some other reactions that may occur include: facial or body rash, flaking of the skin, itching, peeling of the palms and soles, increased sensitivity to the sun, inflammation of the lips, mild nose bleed, bleeding and inflammation of the gums, aches and pains in joints, easily injured skin and increased fatigue (is that why i'm feeling so tired today ..? ). You may experience some redness, dryness, irritation of the eyes or decreased night vision. These side effects are generally temporary and disappear when NIMEGEN treatment is stopped.
  
  
• If you wear contact lenses, you may find them uncomfortable during treatment because NIMEGEN may cause dry eyes. This may continue after treatment has stopped. (no wonder my eyes felt quite dry today .... i thought it was because the air con was too strong at first. )
• In some patients thinning of hair has occurred. In rare cases this hair loss persisted. (oh no oh no!! Hair loss ?! my hair thin enough ehh... !? )
  
  

• A number of patients on NIMEGEN have experienced decreased night vision. Onset can be sudden. Be careful when driving or operating any vehicle at night. (oh.. driving at night.. but i only can drive at night ?! )
  

• Tell your doctor if you experience any of the following symptoms
  
• Headaches, nausea, vomiting, blurred vision, other visual problems, change in mood, mental depression. ( Mental depression !!?? so serious ah.. )
  
• Persistent feeling of dry eyes, decrease in night vision
• Yellowing of the skin or eyes and/or dark urine
  

I made an effort to wake up earlier at about 9am this morning, so that i can go downstairs and get myself my breakfast. My fav breakfast food has got to be fried bee hoon with either egg or fish cake. I thought that all fried bee hoon would taste about the same, and the diff would be whether its oily or dry.

The stall that i always buy from already sold all their stuff and has closed for the day when i got to the coffeeshop. So i walked to the other coffeeshop and decided to try this new stall. (also cos since they are the only one i know that sells FBH.)

Not only its expensive, $2.20 for bee hoon and egg (!!), it tasted super weird so much so that halfway through i cannot bring myself to eat another mouth cos .. its so peppery, oily and... just weird. I think i would puke if i still carry on eating it. :(

Had POA lecture in the afternoon. i think i'm one of the few who still doesn't own a simple calculator despite it being the third lecture. We can't use our scientific calculator. The lecturer seems to be quite ignorant of the fact that in Singapore, all secondary school students needs a scientific calculator. That explains why almost all of us brought a scientific calculator to class the first lesson. He asked why of us brought a scientific calculator.

No one told us that we cannot use a scientific calculator. Cambridge allowed us. Okay sadly, UOL doesn't permit. Ah anyways, i opened my inbox earlier today and saw an email notifying me that my parcel had been sent out and my books should reach me within 2-5 days. haha i'm waiting excitedly for it. lol.

Saturday, 16th Aug

noon was spent at home slacking till about 7. Headed out to Parkway for dinner, to celebrate Suvenna's 21st. I arrived pretty late because i was waiting for my dad to come home so that i can bring the car out. Had steamboat, and halfway through my dad called and asked if i wanted to get a phone. Actually i'm pretty contented with my two current phones, but he said that he had a $100 voucher and it expires on Sunday. I reckoned that Sunday we would not be free to go to the telco shop to get any phones so i settled for SE G900. I wanted Diamond/Omnia at first but heard bad reviews about them.

After the dinner, headed over to Joy's, did the celebratory stuff and talked a little before we left her place. I went over to kelvin's. That's where my down luck started pouring in. I met him and Cheryl at the mrt station and drove over to the car park which was just behind. He got out of the car to answer a phone call and didn't shut the door tight. The two of us subsequently got out and i tried to lock the door with the remote control but it didn't work. So i just locked it manually. I told my dad about it when icalled him and asked if he got the phone. He said the alarm will go off when i unlock the door later but i told him it won't. Actually it did ring when i locked and unlocked for the first time but the second time, it didn't. So i assumed everything would be fine. He told me to come back earlier whatever it is so that he got time to settle things before he start work if there's any problem.

When i went back to retrieve the car at like 5plus in the morning the alarm went off! man. I switched off the engine and turned it on again and it's fine. So i drove off. I just got out of the car park and the alarm went off again. I called my dad and got a scolding for not going home earlier.. cos he's going to start at 7.30 and its already 5plus.

But after awhile i realised it's the door's fault. So i called him to say it's alright already and i went home..

Sunday 17th Aug
woke up at almost 1pm. Already in a not-so-good mood cos i was in a mad rush, i realised there's something wrong with the phone because the longer i charged my phone, the battery life span got shorter. What absurdity! To top it off, my dad told me i got a summon of $50 last night. I didn't knew about the existence of that summon all along! sighs.

Rushed out and went for service. After service, headed to Westmall to change my phone.

Man Utd vs Newcastle at 11pm and it's a draw. 1-1. After the game, had green tea with a friend and we went to see the sad state of a car. The damage was caused by a person in a state of drunkardness. Disclaimer: It's not done by me.

I was so certain i almost broke into tears earlier this morning when i realised that there are things that i've missed out studying for.

I reached school and went to look for Karen and her bro. Got my morning breakfast of Siew Mai and a pau. Went back to the table and saw what Karen wrote and, Shit! How come some of her notes are different from what i learnt.

Only then i realised, i missed out on one graph. Even though i wrote it down as part of the tips already. I must be so blind.. I never felt so paranoid before.. ha. Because of that bad experience that i went through on Wednesday, it's left a very bad impression already. AH.

But it turned out that the paper's pretty alright. Manfred is so much nicer compared to Bernard. Whatever he gave as tips, really came out. :)

I know, Manfred's spoiling us actually. That's called spoon feeding right .. ? Shall worry about UOL exams another time! Now i'm just going to relax first, and i have a long wishlist of things to do.

1) Swimming
2) Buffet at Himawari
3) Visit the dim sum eatery at Geylang someday
4) Wala's
5) Utilise the free red/white wine voucher at Amici.
6) hopefully, get a suntan

and the list goes on ....

Was talking to my friend. Cos he likes to call my SIM friends "Simply Friends." Thus, i tried to correct him and told him that its S-I-M not Simply..

Friend: So, what does SIM stands for?
Me: SIM, S-I-M la! Singapore Insititute of Management
Friend: No lor. Wrong. change the m to something else.
Me: Change to what?
Friend: Mj.

Thus, he now calls it singapore institute of mahjong. Thanks eh?

Because, alot of students from SIM plays mahjong! lol. Ranges from the beginners to the pro and to the very pro. The mj craze started since odac foc, and extends all the way to some of the dragonboaters. Actually, anybody, everybody.... hahaha.
