One Eyed Jack

Today, I turned one week older. But when Mama saw me in the morning, she had a surprise. I had become an one-eyed jack!! This is really what I looked like. No camera tricks, no special effects using cosmetics. I had a swollen eye-lid!

I was bitten by a mosquito or some unknown insect when we were waiting at the doctor's clinic yesterday. Mama did not apply any medication for me for fear that my eye may get irritated if I rub it and so she had left it alone.

This morning when I woke up, the eye lid had become swollen! Mama thought she will leave it to heal on its own but when we went marketing, we met my classmate, Queenie's grandma, who said it's better to let a doctor take a look for fear it may affect my vision.

So Mama took me to the GP clinic nearby. Doctor Benny Lim took a look and gave me some cream to be applied thinly when I sleep. Mama forgot to ask if my vision will be affected and it also did not cross her mind to ask the doctor to check if I was still wheezing. She just told the doctor that she wanted to be sure it was not a drug allergy although she believes it is quite unlikely as I had not eaten any medicine from the time I went to sleep til I woke up in the morning.

But no worries, I was still very active today. In fact, more active than yesterday when I was nebulised. See, I was checking out the touch-screen on this ticketing machine after going marketing with Mama.

When Papa came home, he was also very surprised to see me in this state. He kept saying I looked funny and even jested that this is not his son because this is not what his son looks like. ha!

Nevertheless, we still had some fun together in the evening.

After dinner, we went to Yew Tee Central where Papa returned some discs he had rented and he paid for my ride on a kiddy-ride machine.

See how different this machine is from the one in Malacca? :)
