one down, eleven to go..

i sat for my Quantitative Methods of Management paper last Saturday, i haven’t been doing the exercises before the tutorials and i haven’t been paying attention in tutorials but i managed to cover all the exercises during my MC period and some of the past year papers..

seriously, the module is not totally something new.. mean, mode, median, standard deviation, histogram, differentiation and integration, all these were covered in secondary school.. finance future values was covered in the prep course.. the only thing new is the Laspeyre and Paasche price and quantity indices and those are quite easy.. so i should have been better prepared for the paper..

anyway that’s over than done with.. the next class starts next week and we are suppose to start reading the textbook but hey whadaya noe.. the stock for the textbook is not even in yet..

fever, running nose and phlegm on her 1st birthday..

she started having fever 2 weeks ago, on the last day of tutorial.. mama called me at work and said that twice she woke up from her sleep crying, apparently she was woken up by the loud sound of motorbike accelerating from the traffic light.. and that evening she was having fever..

we medicated her with panadol but it doesn’t seem to subside.. we cancelled an outing for her birthday because she was still feverish and bought KFC home instead.. i woke up in the middle of the night and she was hot, 39.7C.. i compressed her, syringed some panadol into her mouth and waited for the temperature to come down.. it was difficult because at the same time, I’m nursing my swollen gums and cheeks and it hurts everytime she accidentally hits me there..

there were times where she kept on tossing and turning that i gave my space on the bed to her and slept at  the edge of the bed.. then there were times she woke up and wont go back to sleep so mammi and daddi have to get up and play with her until she goes back to sleep.. it’s usually about 2 hours and usually from 3am to 5am..

well at least she’s not clingy or whiny when she’s sick.. only when she’s tired, then she starts thrashing around when you carry her.. she’s much better now but still with a bit of running nose..

de-wisdom-nized..

after enduring a week of pain (i suspected a missing filling and a wisdom tooth), i managed to look up my previous dentist and made an appointment with him.. the clinic that he was with was bought over by a large dental chain in Singapore but he’s still the resident dentist at Marsiling.. the only reason that i’m going back to him was that he extracted my right wisdom teeth 3 years ago and he would have the record of it (and the difficulties that he went through)..

so i got the last two wisdom teeth extracted 2 saturdays ago.. it was hell of a pain.. and it’s still healing.. i think Dr Khor injected a lot more anaesthesia this time round (remembering that i’m so scared of the pain) before he got started to crack my lower wisdom tooth.. after a lot of drilling, cracking, pushing (about almost 40mins!!), it finally came out in pieces.. my tooth had 3 roots and it was hook-shaped instead of straight.. the top tooth came out very easily but it was hurting the most..

got 5 days MC, maxed out my company medical claims with the $640 bill and it’s not covered under insurance.. well at least can pay with medisave, just need to wait for the cheque to come in two to three months time..

and the rest of the holes will have to wait til next year when i get to claim again hehe
