Isore

Well. My spree continues here because I got one day MC for sore eyes. and I only go back to camp tomorrow night! Beat that! and my eye is still looking quite bad so maybe I'll go to see the doctor again tomorrow. And I was diagnosed not because I went to see the doctor for sore eyes but it was when I was getting cleared for my HFMD the doctor was like "ohhhh how come your eye is so red". and he checked, and, yes, sore eyes!

I believe Sore Eyes is one of the best Mc conditions out there because it doesn't really hinder with your everyday life. It's something quite a pain and it can be quite a bitch but it's super much better than say sore throat or fever. Flu, cough can be quite annoying too, but well, it's not a 100% secure Mc bug right. And I heard I'm skipping RSM parade. (which is big boost to my happiness bar right now)

Yesterday was one hell of a day because I went all the way to the Changi to send my grandparents to China. Following which we popped into a grand piano 'showroom' to test out some grand pianos. My two brothers have no repertoire so I was the only one mainly testing it out with my (admittedly and sadly) half baked repertoire. There were two European brands, Bohemia and Wilhelm tell but I have tried that exact model of Wilhelm tell before at one of my dad's friend's place about a year or two back. Bohemia goes for a whooping 35K price tag and it' only 5'8. While Wilhelm tell's about 6'1 and it's almost 20K cheaper. Quality difference anyone? the price of Bohemia seems quite similar to the Kawai grand which I set my eyes on two years ago. Seems like i have more to research on. I won't be making decisions soon anyway.

But certainly, a grand and an upright is totally world's apart. Today when I returned home I felt really disappointed with the sound of my own Nottingham upright piano. It's just the keys and the tone and the feeling ain't right anymore. I guess this is what you call "spoiled fingers"

Anyway very soon I'll have to go back to what you call "ordinary NSF life". 5 day in camp a week, 2 day weekends. Sigh. A redemption point would be that end of years is coming. the next following week there's a public holiday + platoon cohesion so it's a 3 day week. It's about counting down the weeks already. I believe it's about 20 weeks to ORD (got to count again). It's about 4 months plus more. 4 months ago, where we were? Late June I believe. I can't really remember what was going on then, but it's like from then, to here more to go.
