Busy.... Busier..... Busiest...

Recently I have been so preoccupied with activities... not much time for rest man...

Actually i sort of take on those activities myself... so well... haha...

Tuesday was spent in school.... lesson and gym.... been some time... but it feels great to hit the gym again... time to pump up my muscles.... in fact.. I still have some muscle soreness from then...
And I further on went to play basketball at NUS with my friend and KL.... their court there is awesome... ok lar... at least better than outside ones... and i met a company mate there.... who is abit attitudish.... who came to challenged us 3 on 3.... and I am proud to say... we gave them a run for their money... haha.... nah.... no money involved... but we managed to climb back after a 6-0 lead by them.... and it helps that my friend, who is taller than me... catches almost all the rebounces...

Awesome game... but gym and basketball... muscle sore...

And I guess track training added to that... On Wednesday.... it was the first time i actually attended the full training... at least with their warm-up... which includes running round the field...doing the various leg drills... actually i think it's quite a good form of warm-up... and i can feel my leg muscles tightening up... but i was caution not to over-exert my left ankle... haven't fully recovered...

Improving in my throws.... at least now the flight path and pattern is back already... distance wise... I think I'm doing fine... hitting over 25m.... heard from the track captain that the winning last year was 30m... so i think i have a good chance at the top 10 or so... if i had joined last year... top 5 would have been possible... haha...
Another good news is that... a VS discus junior... who is also in SIM... is joining as well... haha... and he throws better than me... beign much taller than me... LOL....
But i think that would help in our training together... and also stand a better chance of scoring better for the IVP....
But he haven't been training as well... so hmm.... see how ba....

Today was my rest day... sort of... but i went for my free pre-Laseik evaluation at a medical centre at Paragon... their people came to set up booth at our school during some bazaar.. so i decided to go for it with a friend... both myopic... LOL...

On the whole... I would say the service standard is quite good and all... and I have been tested to be suitable for doing the normal procedure...
The only big set back was with this particular receptionist... I honestly do not know what is her problem... but she has a real big attitude problem man...
It happened when they sort of asked us on when are we deciding to do our surgery.. of which i replied that not today.. maybe a few years later...
Then she began to say things like, "but the test won't be valid anymore, then have to re-do the evaluation..", and the worst thing was when she said, " So what are you here for today?" ....

I was like.... huh? What was that? And being momentarily stunned... especially since she sort of raised her voice.. and sounded annoyed..... i just said i wanted to find out more and stuffs like that...
Then she told me to wait awhile... then disappear into a room... and left me there for a good 10 minutes or so... before another staff came to get me to do another test....

Thinking back.... I think I should have just tell her this," Is this the way you talk to your potential clients? Because of you, I am going to cancel my evaluation now.. and walk out of this clinic... and never come back.. or recommend anyone to do so.... and you can have a nice day..."
Then just walk out...

But well.. being my usual self... I would always be unable to respond first hand to a unsatisfied situation... it would always take me some time before i finally though out what I should have done...
Many a time.. i have been at the receiving end of poor customer service... and I should have just gave these people a piece of my mind... I mean... no matter how busy or whatever... you are afterall a front-line staff... in this how you are suppose to talk to your customers?

Still feeling abit angry now... and I am rather serious about not going back to that clinic... even if it means that i have to pay higher price... I do have the intention to do the surgery.... case being I am a very adventurous and out-going person... having spectacles is sometimes a hindrance at times... so having the freedom of no spectacles is definitely an attractive proposal....
But I don't want to do it as yet.. because I have some activities coming up... competitions... treks... mountain climbs... and it takes some time for my eye to fully recuperate... so I may have to stop all these activities if i do it now...

And it's abit uncomfortable also... because they actually cut your cornea, and do some laser correction, then out the cornea back... of which if they don't do it properly.... your eye is GG....
Though the risk is low... it is still there... low crime doesn't mean no crime... no risk doesn't mean no risk... haha....
So well.... hopefully not so "heng"... so far never kena any lucky draws before... LOL...

But I am definitely not considering the center is Paragon... who often advertises on the NSMEN magazine.... bad service staff.... one only... but it only takes 1 black sheep to spoil the whole farm...

I know i sound abit "xiao qi"... but really lor...I was stunned to silence... so now have to vent it out... LOL....

After the test... I had a terrible time getting home... because they put some solution into my eyes to dilate my pupils, and so everything became very bright... and it didn't help when the afternoon sun is out... At some point.. I can't even open my eyes... have to close.. and squint... super un-comfortable... but upon finally getting home... I went to sleep... haha... sleep the effect away.... hopefully.... but things are better... well.. maybe because it's night time...but my laptop screen is still abit bright....

Hmmm... the thing should clear by tomorrow...

That's about all... tomorrow still got to go school early... and also go for training... LOL...

Busy Busy....
