Day 4 of Being Stitched Up.

))):

Tumultuous arrival at TTSH A&E in the midst of training. I really shouldn't have gone that day, just as I had surmised earlier that day. Come true liao lor, orbiquack.

This is the operating theatre. My favourite number. I really must have a lot of affinity with this number. Like that also can. (=_='')


Narh, for those who asked to see the aftermath on the blog, here you go. I've already made it very small, so those who cannot withstand looking at something so alien on the human body, don't click and complain ok!

I could see my fats and muscle in the slash when the nurse injected local anesthesia to numb it. I have quite a bit of fats man.

I had asked the nurse to explain to me what I'm seeing, she called it "soft tissues", and muscle, the second layer that was substantially different. The latter was slightly wounded, but not badly, so it was a superficial cut. I was still some distance away from reaching the major blood vessels.

Next, she used tongs and cotton laden with antiseptic to prod at the wound, and red, diluted liquid poured out. I was actually quite amazed at the sight, rather than turned off. After all, being the klutz that I am, blood and bruises are nothing to me. *苦笑s* plus the fact that I couldn't feel a thing, I made use of this chance to see how stitches are done. But the stomach churning part came as I watched her stitch me up. I thought I would feel alright, but after the third stitch, I felt like throwing up the hot sandwich that BH had bought for me. It's the shock and the disgust of watching such a foreign action take place on a human I think, because watching her clean my wound was fine.

I've to dress the wound in gauze and water proof film most of the time, so that no one will be freaked out by it. Heheh.

Thanks for those who worried for me, and the 3 of you who stayed with me till so late. And thanks to Suze who found out for me after being shocked, how to take care of the wound (: I should be fine now, cos I can turn my wrist around without feeling pain. Thank goodness I didn't cut my wrist in a majorly important and rotational and pivotal position.

The nurse says I can remove the stitches after a week. And I heard it's gonna hurt damn badly. Eeek omg omg. Can I have some more local anesthesia? ):

BANGKOK - Day FOUR

Free and easy day! We went back to MBK to get what we had to get, and to do what we had not yet done. And this time we noticed a timer beside the traffic lights. We were wondering what took so long, for the cars to move during peak hour, we all thought it was a terrible jam, but NO, it's this.

When I saw this it was at around 180seconds, and there was a long queue forming up on the road. It must have started from 200plus seconds. Oh man. I love Singapore traffic. Not that bad, really.

More pork burger meals! This was our last pork burger from BK for the trip, and for a long time to come, I predict. Too bad it's not allowed in Singapore outlets ):

After that we went to do our respective shopping, and I had to get my hair permed. Permed! (: Cheap cheap (:

This is my hairdresser. He looks very familiar hor?
Highlights? ):
And for the people who asked how come I was online for such a substantial amount of time when I was in BKK, this is why. 3 hours of sitting at the chair.

The machine is damn scary btw, I felt like Dr. Octopus.
Curls!

We came across Cosfest in BKK, the very same weekend Singapore was having theirs at Downtown East. Daniel, are you reading this! (:

This band was really quite good.

Thai cosplayers.

She's really good.

Tuktuk chase!
Note Alex's hands. Both of those hands. LOL.

To Platinum for more shopping.
We split up for dinner that night. Kiat, Dard, Mo and I went back to the tavern for more good Thai food fare. But this time we were met with suspicious bouncers at the door, who asked us which country we came from! Huh!? It matters meh?

Post-dinner entertainment - Baby elephant! I was so amazed by her nose! It seems to have eyes and life of its own leh.

Late night, we all met at the Night Plaza again. The last time we went there, Dard, Mo and I left super early cos we were quite exhausted, we came back this time to get more cheap stuff, so that we won't regret leaving this place after only about 40 mins of walking. Heheh.

This time round we saw little animals for sale. There were squirrels, kittens, puppies, rabbits, guinea pigs, and this is just my favourite picture. Damn cute!

And we walked through a sea of fresh flowers for sale. There are no reasons not to give flowers to a girlfriend in BKK! Haha.

Good night! Thats it for now! Day 5 another day! (:

BANGKOK - Day THREE

We woke up quite late, and, we went shopping again. This time we went to Chatuchak Market. The heat was sweltering!

Cute MIAOW.

I thought this guy was a mannequin when I saw him from the back. So bright his colours!

Their bottles are so old skool. We were speculating how they use these bottles. Yuck.

Sock shopping! This is where I got my candy coloured socks , for those who asked.
3 for 100 baht!

After dinner that night we came to my room to play a silly drinking game, with the 3/4 bottle of vodka leftover from the previous night. We laughed the whole night.

Kiat, we love you! (((:

ps:/ in case you are wondering why lesser and lesser pictures, it's because we have all been shopping and there isn't really any picture to take. Most of these pictures, from Day 3 onwards, are courtesy of Mr Kow. *curtsies*

BANGKOK - Day TWO

We are going to take the BTS today! (BTS=Singapore's LRT) To go the Pe.ih.an's Muay Thai place to place orders for her shop. Since the place is located near a BTS station, and it was peak hour, we didn't cab down, but took the BTS instead.

We set out with our new shades in place, with the sun shining into our eyes at 11 in the morning. Kiat's looking very cute in Mo's oversized LV shades.

After trooping down the street at a leisurely pace...

We finally reached the station! You will never guess how it's pronounced. We pronounced it the same way as Ratatouille.

A glistening Dudley after leisurely-paced walk. (:

We bought tickets from the card machine thing. It's so 90's!
The BTS train

I like this picture. I rendered it in Photoshop curves too, and it looks like a scene out of The Eye 2, with the dark greenish tinge. Heheh.

"Eh take picture take picture!"

Eh thats the handle. Very 90's hor?
Same effect from Photoshop curves. It makes Alex look very lonely :b

We alighted from the train, and was thinking of how to get to the shop, and just on the way down to the main road we spotted Belgium waffles at a roadside stall (those kind of franchise one). Of course, sweet-toothed me, and the rest who were hungry promptly devoured some. Delicious ok! And so cheap!

We rode on motorcycles as pillion riders from the station into the deeper areas of the neighbourhood to reach the shop, for 10 baht per person. THRILLING. And so scary! After which we proceeded to Platinum for shopping.

Scorching sun beating down on backs!

At around 6pm, we made our way back to the hotel (in the same fashion, again)...

... to drop off our stuff, and rest and get ready for our night at the famous Bed Supper Club.

We were, again, famished, after long hours of preparation in the makeup room :P And decided to head down to Siam Paragon for their food. And we found:

Ronald saying SAWADEEKAAAAAA!

Some AD! Haven't seen such old school adverts in a looonng time.

We met Debbie, Sarah and Candice there!

Alex the pretty! (:

And his admirers. *grin*Bling NONE.

His Nirvana. I quote,
"The ancients once spoke of achieving nirvana through a life of pudicity, starvation, meditation. Thus, edification is achieved, through enlightenment and revelation.
THIS is the Love Below."

And we got back safe and sound, with half a bottle of Vodka left, with which we shall have some fun the next night at the hotel (:
