  Saturday night. Digesting after dinner. Watching Simpsons on 5. Guo Liang called to play ball @ my place. Feeling hard to reject him I agreed and skipped my 3 hours cycling training. In a little 1 on 1 he dashed past me with his shoulders hitting my left eye and nose. It only left me stunned a few minutes and I felt okay and vision was fine so I continued without bothering too much. Few hours later after seeing him off, I felt my left eye strained so I slept. Woke up with the same thing and I said to myself oh no.... training. Anyway, got refered to SGH by a private physician. Eye specialist was a young petite indian lady w/ thick eyebrows. Rather nice job cept for working on sundays. I think she was refering to her notes or textbook while treating me, not sure if I felt safe but I think it's okay. Pain in eye kept me from thinking too much anyway. Turns out it was cornea abrasion with slight inflammation.
She went through ALOT of eye examinations before finally letting me go. She didn't have the eye examination devices that the taiwanese eye specialist had in ROC in the Heng Chun Christian Hospital. I am still amazed how a small town have a eye specialist let alone a computer that took video stills of your eyeball to help the doc analyse and explain to you what was wrong. Simply dumbfolded then. I should be fine as long as the scratch doesn't grow to be something else or become a scar then I would have a whitish thing from my left eye.
She took samples from my left eye with a syringe thingy to let it grow on two disclike plastic containers which they use prbably to grow bacteria in some lab.I think my vision was severly impaired and didn't see it coming when she held a needle in front of my face to take the sample.
It was only when she said that she was using a needle then I felt scared. She did made it sound alot worse then it was. It felt like nothing (skilled hands? ) but the thought of the process was unnerving. I could only think of just relaxing the whole way and keeping my eyes opened. Well, it's one day training day lost. It is absolutely impossible to swim, cycle or run in my condition. Half happy half sad I guess. Sad as in I lose one day of training for selection. I'm not really that sad for not going for the run but it would be nice to wear the new timex HRM I got for training.
Cycling is fun without the traffic lights, swimming is nice without people watching you do drils or trying to beat you to the wall. I kept thinking too much REST! but I just trained yesterday. Good that I can never be satisfied. I resolved then to traing harder and to make full use of whatever time I had to train. It's no holding back now...
