Back home for Hari Raya holidays

i came home last Friday, bringing back lots of notes and a few books to read... why? to prepare for the upcoming exams!
caught cold in the bus, it was raining throughout the journey and very cold in the bus... i put on my sweater but still, it's not warm enough... i've been having blocked nose and coughing since the day i came back... it's better now :)
as what i've expected, i didn't really study much at home... due to the flu and cough, plus the television :P, i've more than enough excuses to leave my notes on my desk, barely touched... i've only finished reading 3 chapters of my Biochemistry :'( planned to study Physiology too, but my whole family will be leaving for A'Famosa in Malacca on Friday morning... *sigh
with these conditions (flu and cough), i don't think i'll be fit enough to join the rest of my family in the water park... mum won't allow me to go either... i think i can only join them to the cowboy town at night, unless my condition got better...
university reopens next week... one more week of classes, plus a week of study week, i'll be sitting for my very first exam since i entered university... wonder how i would perform... hope not to fail myself and all my love ones... wish me luck :)

Conjunctivitis!

one of my coursemates got conjunctivitis (bacterial infection in the conjuntival sac - in the eyelids) 2 weeks ago... i got the disease from her last week! only my left eye was affected... went to the student health clinic, got the eye drops, eye ointment, vit. C, antibiotics... didn't recover but got worse! Uncle brought me to USJ Taipan Clinic on Sunday, got another kind of eye drops... went to UM Medical Centre to get my eye chekced by the specialist... the ophthalmologist said that the infection had spread to my right eye! the condition of my left eye was quite serious, with pseudomembrane formed in the superior region of my conjunctival sac... she removed the pseudomembrane, it bled! ...it's normal :)
my condition got worse as my eye was allergic to the eye drops (Chloramphenicol)! i didn't know about that!
went to the hospital for a follow-up thsi morning... the doctor said my condition was improving :) went to a pharmacy (Prima Health) in PJ SS2 to buy a stronger antibacterial eye drop - Tobramycin Dexamethasone. it contains steroid, so it should work faster...
a special thanks to my bf and his 5th year buddy for helping me :) i need not mention it here, but u guys should know what i mean :)
