Cut finger update

Hmm.

I had planned to get down to Block M and finish off my p-board and in the process tell Mr Kuou (my model-making teacher) that my finger was cut by the hugantic bandsaw and I kena five odd stitches. Intending to move on to Ang Mo Kio Polyclinic after I had done my stuff at Block M, I was severly delayed partially due to my settings for the 3d model's texture being on another computer. All was completed at about 9:30, roughly 15 minutes after my allocated appointment time (which was scheduled to be at 9:15am).

I reached Ang Mo Kio Polyclinic at about 10am, and the place was like a packed pub: there were so many people, some people waiting for their number to be called had to stand up and wait because there were simply too many people. Thank God I only had to redo my bandage, which allowed me to wait for approximately 20 seconds before my number was called.

When my turn came to redo the bandages, I was tended to by a younger nurse, and gosh, was she a rough one. I dunno whether it was some medical tactic to help rid the wound of excess dried blood etc, but she kept cleaning the wound, moving from the point of broken skin and thereby causing me a heck load of pain. Then she proceeded to pull out this scissor-like appendage and she was making to cut my stitches when I pipped up:

Crawldaddy: 'uhh, are you gonna remove the stitches?'

Nurse: 'yeah' with expression on face which read 'DUH'

C: well I thought it was only gonna be removed on wednesday?'

Nurse: 'well, it's supposed to be removed tomorrow, so might as well do it today right?' in a tone which suggested I was an ignorant moron.

C: 'well that's the thing... I'm not availible tomorrow, which is why I scheduled it to be on wednesday afternoon' now my turn to give her that look which read 'wake up darhling, and smell the roses (or antiseptic)'

Nurse: 'oh. Ok, so it's wednesday afternoon huh?'

I remember last week I came to the same room, and I was tended to by an older nurse, and she was simply the nicest nurse i had ever come across... she was gentle, for the love of God.. unlike dear miss 'I'm -gonna-remove-your-stitches-today-because-it's-supposed-to-be-tomorrow-and-you're-here-today'.

And it went downhill from there. I ended up paying 2 bucks for the rebandage and I proceeded on to Peace Centre to get my p-board printed. I met up with Roland and XiWai who were also printing stuff out for their graphics project. When I tried to open up the file, it wouldn't open.

In the end, the original file I saved back in NYP could not be opened no matter how hard I tried, and I had to re-do the entire thing from scratch. In spite of the fact that I had all of the original images required, I still had to re-phrase and re-do my text paragraph. Sheesh.

I wound up going to the guitar shop over at Peace Center and hanging out over there before Roland rang me up and told me my print-out was done. And I had a ball of a time during Jie Hong's lesson.. I re-did some of my chairs and I'll be posting images of them pretty soon!


Cheers,
