At SGH. I was having appointment at ENT in the morning but waited till after lunch time, then MO saw me. In between, I went for early lunch at 11.30 am at the nearbu kopitiam near diabetes centre. After which, approached LIFE centre to get prescription from Dr Lee HY upon learning there's 7 more patients to go before me.
When I reached back at ENT, surprised to find that Q 1120 over! The nurses apologises for making the mistake, thinking I went for the hearing test. Mo did a endoscopy on my nose and noted blocked nose, prescribed me nasal spray, ginkgo biloba & another medication for allergy blocked nose to see how it goes before going for sleep disorder test. MO very cute! Wrote in notes to see me in 3 mths times but med give 2 mths time.
At the diabetes centre, received prescription by another doctor, Dr Ng. He came out asking me am sure whether I got take metformin or not, I replied yes! U may want to call Dr Tan.

31st Birthday Celebration
31st Birthday celebrated at Pariss International Seafood Buffet Restaurant which is now located at Marina Square. To our surprise, all the staffs changed & even most food items are omitted. There weren't any baby lobsters as seen on their website, no more soft shell crab, foie gras, varieties of crabs and many more. Most frustrating thing is we have to wait for the "live" oysters for long. 1st round, the oysters weren't that fresh & quite fishy smell.
When I placed my numbered fish clip into it, waited for >1hr, yet the clips are still on the tray. I highlighted to the waiter but he doesn't seem to even understand basic English! The counter waitress came over & apologised to me and took 4 freshly freshier oysters since I've 2 clips. After that, mother wanna go for another round, had to wait very long also but to receive only ONE!!
Impression: don't want to let customers eat a lot of oysters?! If this is the case, don't promote as buffet! We won't go back anymore as the food ain't that fresh enough and not much varieties, no wonder not full housed. Last time, at Ngee Ann City, sure full housed & have to wait for long before getting a table.
After that, we went takashimaya for a walk & took some photos with the nicely decorated Christmas trees & the one outside ION too.
Eat already put on 2kgs! Horrible!! Not going for any buffets in future, ala carte will do. I ended walking >5 hrs trying to shed extra kilos.

LIFE ctr at SGH Bowyer Block
11th Nov, my 1st appt at SGH LIFE ctr with Eric Ho who is my snr physiotherapist. Made a health assessment and signed up for DIABEX program consisting of 18 sessions over 3 months period.
Eric told me he had consulted with Dr Lee Huei Yen as I've chest pain, difficulty breathing & knee pain, had to have an ECG done before he can increase the intensity. I've old injury on my left knee & shoulder blade which sometimes the pain is excruciating!
I was also advised to do exercises only at LIFE ctr, cannot do exercises on my own, the most I can go cycling for 30 mins over wkends. I had to adhered to my 6 small meal plans, cannot skip nor don't eat at all, otherwise he'll pull me out of the program. :p
Hee..at home playing my WII Nintendo sports, count or not huh? hehe
Before I start my exercises, they will monitor my blood sugar & blood pressure to ensure am alright to start. Oh well, this morning had to rest a while 1st before exercising too.
Had some stretches, cycling 20 mins, chest press, pull down, neck pull (all 2 x 15 sets), threadmill 20 mins with 5 mins cool down session, dumbbells and leg press. Phew, all completed in more than 3hrs!! I had breathing difficulties, knee having excruciating pain while cycling & on threadmill.
My blood glucose reading: before exercise 10 a.m 14.8 because I took 2 pratas and 1 small potato for breakfast at 9.30 a.m. Need to have more hence, sugar won't go so low after exercise. After exercise, blood glucose reading 8.5!! Very good!! Time for me to change and go for lunch.
Saw Dr Lee HY when I was approaching block 4 but guess she didn't saw me huh? hee... Later, I saw Prof JF Cullen at Delifrance again. We had a nice chat and he told me he remember seeing me on TV CNA.
After having lunch, went to DBC to look for DNE Eunice to ask her which blood pressure monitor good as mine's at home is cranky. Had nice chat with the familiar counter staffs and nurses whom they told me they saw me how I presented during the public forum. I need to rush back to work le.

10th Nov "LIVE" interview on CNA
10th Nov 09. going on "LIVE" interview on CNA. Am so excited that I need to take diazepam the previous night to calm my anxiety & sleep better. I reached mediacorp much earlier than I thought. It was my 1st time appearing at the studio!
It's very big place and also with lotsa soft toys on tables just like my office. hee.. who doesn't like cute soft toys. *winks*
When it was Marco & myself to step into the studio, I began to feel anxiety creeping up on me again. Oh dear.. which I later forget to mentioned my prepared answer to the questions: How do I half my medication? Ans: Because of psychiatric medication which help elevated my mood, along with physiotherapy, careful nutrition diet & close monitoring of blood glucose level.
Advice for young diabetes is don't go for aggressive change of lifestyle such as total low fat diet & unproven type of herbs. Always go for 2nd opinion if in doubt.
Hmm... too bad, my mind just blank out. So embarrassing...*blush*
Marco was so composed!! Suzanne Jung & Steven Chia look so pretty & handsome in person!! Wow!! Idol manz!!
Appearing on TV studio is so much different in appearing for TNP where I was interviewed by Yeoh Wee Teck in year 2007 Table for 4 at Marriott Hotel. hehe..
Marco & myself can't wait to see ourselves how we appear on tv, waiting to be stream at CNA.

Public Forum Talk - Self-mgmt on Diabetes HPB 7th Nov 09
7th Nov 09, I was to be at HPB to attend prize presentation which I won myself wii Nintendo, cold storage voucher & spice garden walk with morning gourmet & also invited to give talk in mandarin. OMG! I told Dr Tan Hong Chang that my mandarin is 'pte ltd' but insisted going for it, hence I just agreed since they told me it's perfectly alright to mix. haha
Upon reaching, saw familiar faces there, staffs at SGH diabetes ctr. Was received by Celestine whom showed us the way in. Roland Choo came to give me support, really appreciated it. He's a director of his own company dealing in water treatment & helping out at Taman Jurong MPS.
During tea-break at around 3pm, I had hypo symptom again & I headed to sofa & quickly had sweets 1st before having finger food. Before I went on stage to give talk, another episode of it. I tried to steady myself & had hard time looking at my script due to lightings & my vision. OMG! I had hard time speaking in mandarin & I ended up speaking in English, lol...
Aiya, better than the doctor whom Mandarin is worse off than me. Said I go squash & ballet when it's badminton, pool and belly dancing. keke..
I took the opportunity to thank Mr & Mrs Tharman, Roland Choo, SFH social workers and volunteers at Taman Jurong MPS besides my endocrinologist Dr Tan Hong Chang & DNE Eunice Liow.
What an experience! Roland gave us a lift home while he fetched his dad at Bukit Merah.
Stay tuned as I will be uploading some photos taken at HPB publim forum talk. Such coincidence, the photographer I knew him whom took photos for MP at Taman Jurong.
