Yesterday was the final day where we need to touch on our FYP. You’ve no idea how long I’ve waited for this day to come, and it’s finally over. Met up with the guys early in school to rehearse the entire presentation over and over again, just for that 30 minutes of our lives.

I was chosen to be doing the beginning of the presentation, and it being the first time official talking through a mike, I was feeling really nervous. I am not too sure how I sounded to the crowd, but for sure I knew that I was experiencing the micro tremors going through me! ): I don’t think I performed well sadly, though I thought that the guys did really well. I really wished that I was a lot more confident, a lot more capable than what I am.

What a way to start the year! Ever since the departure of Jon Baby, my life has been nothing less than busy. Busy with school especially. Feel pretty guilty that I haven’t popped by to his place at all ever since he left because it’s either school or work for me. ): I promise to visit The Chau’s when I get a Sunday free! Maybe a stayover or something. (:

Not forgetting that I am feeling very appreciative of my parents too! My Dad has been really willing to send and pick me up from school/work without any complains. He probably understands how tired and drained I am. Have been falling asleep on the rides home, but it is really nice to have days like today, where my family actually kept aside some popiah and chicken wings for me. Really appreciate it, and I love my family tonnes for that. (:

Work today was very demanding of me. I have been doing refraction non-stop till about 4pm. And I only get to have my first meal of the day at 4pm! Was like a total jelly because I was tired and a little hungry, and all I did was pray that my stomach wouldn’t growl while I was doing the eye checks. Audrey popped by with Xiu Xiang and she got me a brownie bar from IKEA! Totally appreciate it babe! :D

Saturday – The entire day was taken up by school! Dragged myself out of bed and headed down to Tan Tock Seng Hospital for a half-day long clinical attachment with the Ophthalmologists (eye doctors). It was such an eye opener, being able to see so many more pathological cases that we learnt from the textbook, live! I must admit that I am absolutely impressed by the doctors! Their memory is just… amazing. I wonder how they actually remember all those theory so well and can just spit them out as though it doesn’t take much effort! Totally left me in awe. We saw patients with different eye disease, and the doctors asked us to perform our usual clinical skills and try diagnosing the different conditions with the different signs that were seen! It was so much fun!

It was such an enriching experience I’d really love to attend another of such session! Gotta mention that I felt a little inspired to be helping the people to improve their vision and health. Afterall, optometrists are the in the primary eye care & health line! Maybe that’s why despite the complains about how terrible school is, I do enjoy my course. Really. I just hope I can contribute to the society in whatever way I can in the future. (:

Saturday was a relatively busy day for me. I woke up earlier than I intended to, which was quite bleak since I wanted to sleep in, lazed around the house for a little while before I started my whole beauty regime. I guess this is the first time I carried out the entire beauty regime in full and it took me 2 hours or so to complete it. Of course most of the time was spent waiting, so I did my own stuff too.

One of which was packing my stuff since I was staying over at Jon’s place. And I realised that the only thing I wanted to bring was my daily beauty stuff (toner, moisturizer, make up remover & etc.) and my make up pouch, since I have my clothes there and what not!
