July 4 - Memorable day
Yesterday morning, I went our earlier as I wanted to see a doctor about my trigger thumb. I have this problem for almost a week and I feel rather uncomfortable. At the same time, I wanted to have a full body blood test and not forgetting a pap smear too.
When I reached the clinic, I realised that I would definitely have to wait long so I decided to go to the post office. I had already got ready the parcels to be posted. So off I went to the post office and went straight to the stamps section. I came to realise that oversea postage has gone up so as to give better service. In that sense, parcels should reach the recipients much faster.
When I was done with the parcels, I went back to the clinic. Goodness! I still had to wait. When it's my turn, I told the doctor about my intention to do a blood test after he had examined my thumb. So he tried to put the needle into my vein but unsuccessful. It was only the third tries that he managed to draw my blood into three small test tubes.
Then I had to get out from the room and waited again for my turn to do the pap smear after I had given my sample urine for the test. Next, I was called into another room. I had no fear of the pap smear test and it was easily done.
I was given some medication for my trigger thumb problem. Immediately, I went straight to work. Not long after some time, I had a parcel from the courier man. I had redeemed my very first smart phone from Maybank TreatsPoints. It's from SuperBuy and I had used up 370K points for the phone and 28.8K for the flip cover. I have the black phone and match it with the pink cover.
I 'heart' Samsung Galaxy S4!
Press hard on the joint between your thumb and palm for a couple of minutes.Ignore the excruciating paint and you will be fine after a couple of pressing.
ReplyDeleteThanks..I had done that but the problem wouldn't go off.
DeleteGood morning Wenn...
ReplyDeleteNo need to make an appointment with the doctor as you doing those test?
ReplyDeleteLoves the pink colour of the phone, very sweet...
ReplyDeleteNowaday if i want to send something, i will weight myself at home (using the small weighing scale used for weighing baking items...
ReplyDeleteThen check the postage using the Singapore Post Website....
ReplyDeleteAnd use the Machines to buy stamps and post it out...
ReplyDeleteUnless it's registered mail, then i have to go Q at the Post Office...
ReplyDeleteBut usually the post office is crowded...
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend ahead...
ReplyDeleteI used to courier but it's very expensive. If it's really important/fragile, I will usually send by courier. If it's just a normal parcel, I can sent it by normal registered post which is safer than just normal post.
DeleteCOOL! wah now you can blog anywhere and everywhere ! :)
ReplyDeletewell, I shouldn't do it when I'm helping at the shop.
DeleteGood to have a body check up regularly. Hope your thumb doesn't give u further problems.
ReplyDeleteWow...u used a lot of credit card ? Can even redeem a smart phone + cover !
oh, hope your thumb is of any serious case.. and good that you are doing body check up regularly.. :)
ReplyDeleteTrigger thumb? My mom has it too... is uric acid high or lack of something? Hope the blood test will tell and you will know how to treat it...
ReplyDeletethe doc said that I had used my fingers excessively which was true.
Deleteyes, postage to overseas has already increased by 30% couple of months ago.. well, better service?? i doubt so, probably just to cover the ever hiking cost of operations, haha!!
ReplyDeletewow, Samsung Galaxy S4!! and you had your credit card points to redeem it!! you must be a big spender!! and yeah, care what, it's really a very cool and handsome phone~~ :)
ReplyDeleteI had redeemed a few phones already and this is the best!
DeleteOver stressed thumb over pressing the space bar too much over the limit. You are grounded no computer for one whole month ~ by order Dr Quack haha
ReplyDeleteWhen saw your title thought you are having a celebration with Obama. Get well soon
ReplyDeletehaha..
DeleteI don't use my thumb to press the space bar.
Actually it's due to me lifting something heavy without caution.
You mean the doctor failed to draw your blood? =_=
ReplyDeleteMy God, 3 times?? I cannot imagine, usually this happens to trainee/nurse....
Anyway, I am now waiting for your parcel to arrive, hehe.. Probably next week but never mind =)
