Sigh. My doctor is away and I’d have to come back again 2 weeks later. Think a lot of people didn’t turn up for their appointments today. Oh well… I should have asked and postponed it… at least it won’t have been a wasted trip.

Okay… appointment has been postponed from 26 July 2007 10:30am till 16 August 2007 09:10am. I thought it’d be quite pointless to see him on 26th since I’d be keeping my wound compressed this week.

Hello Blogosphere! Today’s another cool day… a little too cool for me! Haha…

Guess what? I checked out the iPhone yesterday… it’s a fad! Like what most people say… you take away the bells and whistles and it’s just… another PDA phone, with non-removable battery and memory.

And it’s a fingerprint collector.

Oh well… perhaps I’m not really an Apple person (with regards to iPods and iPhone and variants of those), but a lot of people would like to get their hands on it to use it as a fashion statement. It’s like… I’ve an iPhone and so I’m cool… I heard that there’s a variant statement in China that goes… I’ve an iPhoney and so I’m cool… :S

Anyway, checking out the iPhone was the highlight yesterday. I wanted to check out Chinatown and Fisherman’s Wharf and do some (window) shopping at the same time… but I think, for some reason, I missed the whart completely and ended up at some ferry terminal that has some service to some other island. Nonetheless, I took the service and ended up somewhere… which seems like a tourist spot to me. It seems as if there was a Mt Faber there, with shops and houses lining the roads leading to the summit.

By then, evening was approaching and I figured that it’d be wise to head back to the mainland. There is an islet between the island and mainland with some building… I think that’s the statue of liberty Alcatraz, but the ferry didn’t stop there… so it’s a straight ride to downtown for me.

Once back safely on land, I decided that I’d do some window shopping. For once, I belonged to the petite section! Woohoo! I wonder where do petite Singaporeans go to when they are here. Haha… there’s quite a fair bit of variety because no one seems to buy those. There are quite a lot of shoes too! But none to my liking… what a pity. Oh well, will be back for more soon.

Late lunch/Early dinner was at Mac, with some dollar burger that was enough to last me through the evening. Here, there’s no chilli sause, no sweet chilli, nor other exotic sauses in Asia. They have ketchup, and lots of it. Instead of presenting it to you in packets, you have to help yourself from some dispenser. Beats having to ask them for it consistently. And oh, if you are dying for something hot, ask for salsa.

Wanted to check out the nightspot here… but I was carrying too many things to be comfy. I’d probably leave behind my stuffs tomorrow. As for now.. it’s gonna be al fresco mexican food by the yard! Woohoo! Yum yum! =P~~~~~~

I am scheduled to visit SGH for my 2-monthly checkup by the department registrar. He said that everything seems to be quite ok the last time he seen me, but I don’t think it’s gonna be the case now. The site has turned hypertropic and I think I might need another surgery to remove the *gasp* flesh! Sigh… I am feeling so depressed now.
