:: Hearing Loss... ::

during my pre-employment check up last yr... i found out dat I got partial hearing loss... and in very quiet areas, especially in lift... i'll hear an "eeeeeee" sound from my left ear... Sometimes i will feel some pain inside my left ear...

as far as i can remember i fell down at the carpark below my block when i was in pri 2 and i earned myself 9 stitches... according to my mum, i was quite lucky as any deeper the breakage goes will damage the nerves linked to my ears and will result in hearing loss. I was told to be more careful and not to get the same spot injuried again...

when i was in still secondary sch, i will haf problem sleeping at night... so the remedy is to leave the radio on while i sleep & i am able to rest much better... only till my final year in NUS, i start to notice dat my earing power is getting worse...

i tried acupuncture and traditional medicines last year, it only helped to reduce the intensity of the sound and the pulsing pain. in the end the acupuncturist suggest me to try to seek a specialist doctor...

after a consultation in NUH last week, they did ear blockage and audiometry tests on me. There isnt any blockage and the hearing loss is double confirmed...

the doctor inserted a probe into my nose and it isnt any abnormality... the feeling of a probe in the nose is indeed very weird and ticklish... i got to use my mouth to breathe while doing the test...

he concluded dat the damage may be from my brain or the middle region of my ear... and i got to do a brain scan by end of next month... despite so much uncertainties and doubts, i got to stay calm & focus in order to search for the light in the dark...

i believe dat a gd way to start is to read more abt ppl with the same problem as me... also at the same time is to keep a healthy mind & body...

:: 1 full year of service in Schering Plough ::

Woohoo.... 7 Jan again... time flies... the last 7 Jan i had, was my 1st day at work in 50 Tuas West Drive...

i am still quite happy with my job even though it requires me to do shift work... especially end of each month... keke...

though i worked for quite some time le... i hardly got any savings till this date... i bought too much things to improve on the quality of life to make up the loss during my work... plus i'm paying the utilities bills for the house & some loan my bro took from me...

also wateva balance i had, will be used to repay my study loan... last yr alone... i am able to clear ~SGD$10k of it... 3.5k more to go...

i am hoping to get converted to be a perm staff or find a stable job... especially the times is bad... by the time my contact expires... it will be worse... & it will be bad if i would go jobless during dat period...

i felt either i'll still stay on my job & start saving when my bank loan is fully cleared... or find a perm job elsewhere... i shouldnt be waiting and get slaughtered on the next 7 Jan...
