bad day for me so far. rather.. bad times..

dropped my darling nikon S2 yday. my heart dropped with it as well. the lens doesn't capture anything 'cept a black screen now.

this morning, went to Dr Tay at SGH. He's a senior consultant so he's pretty credible right? before i went into his room, i noticed the sign outside that requested for mobiles to be switched off. yet, i had to wait a couple of minutes while my dear doctor tinkled on his 2 blackberries before giving me his attention.

and he started examining my wrist. after pressing it to a painful ache, he declared that there might be fracture. at the rate he was pressing, i would like to think so. i'm not a screamer. my physiotherapist at SMC, Karen, always complained that she never knew if she was pressing hard enough 'cos i never made a noise. i winced at the table when Dr Tay was poking my wrist bone.

i went for the x-ray and had 4 angles of my wrist taken. so i was exposed to the radiation 4 times in less than 10 mins. while the doctor, his two interns and the nurse hid in a tiny booth. feeling very loved, i returned to Dr Tay.

Dr Tay scanned the images with me. the first two looked pretty normal cept that the protruding wrist bone looked a little funny. with the next two images, he showed me a minicus crack. minicus or not, it's still a crack. his words were a little hallow in my head.

"You see that? A very fine line. There's a crack."

he asked if i needed an medical excuse. from what??? PE??? i asked if i cld still exercise.

"No. We'll re-examine it again in one month's time. Meanwhile, no exercise."

yay.

feeling down, i called to see if ex-co meeting was over. it was but they were having a quick lunch. i then decided that i needed some time alone. with good food. took the train down to bugis and bought sashimi and sushi for lunch. not too bad. $9.50 in total. sashimi was $6.

when i got home, i thought that i needed to make the sushi cold first. more yummilicious. then i dropped my sushi box. all $3.50 of it. i was left with just sashimi for lunch. yay.

just to prepare myself, i have decided that my warranty of my camera is over even before i call them to verify it. there's only so much disappointment and dejection that a girl can take before she goes all jaded and subdued by life.
