A sty (sometimes spelled stye) is a tender, painful red bump located at the base of an eyelash or on, inside, or under the eyelid. The medical term for a sty is hordeolum.
A sty results from an acute infection of the oil glands of the eyelid (meibomian glands) that occurs after these glands have become clogged. A sty also may arise from an infected hair follicle at the base of an eyelash. The bacterium Staphylococcus aureus is responsible for 90-95% of cases of styes. A sty can develop as a complication of blepharitis (inflammation of the eyelid).
The term external hordeolum has been used to refer to a sty that develops at the base of an eyelash involving a hair follicle of the eyelid, whereas the term internal hordeolum refers to a sty arising due to blocked meibomian glands in the eyelid.
So is it called a sweater or a cardigan for a guy?
Where can I find nice cardigans for guys?
Requirements Plain grey or black coloured. A simple design is fine, maybe lines or whatever. But it still depends on me still... Abolutely no pockets! Serves no purpose at all!
So hard to find something I like these days. Mostly must get from overseas...
Went on a yacht trip the other day. With Great Thanks from me to the Crew from Il-Lido. Really had some fantastic food. Here's some photos. Will upload more when I get the swimming photos.
WARNING!!! A least 10 years of Mario experience required!!! (If possible...)
I was laughing hysterically throughout the entire 23min clip watching this poor guy go thru with the game. I laughed so hard and long that my facial muscles nearly cramped! Anyone who played the old school Mario would understand why it's so funny.
As a huge Nintendo Mario Fan since young, even I'd would have given up after about 10 tries... Kudos to you dude!
And also, I'd wanna thank the invisible blocks in the game. Would not have laughed so hard if not for the invisible blocks! Everytime he sets himself up for a jump only to hit a freaking invisible block and falls to his death. BUAWAHAHAHA!!! *Evil Laughter!*
The guy who made this mod is pure evil, torturing the guy like this.
Finally managed to finish the entire Heroes season 01. The last episode of Heroes (S01E18) was a freaking cliffhanger. Couldn't sleep properly last night, kept thinking of why they must end it like that and made my mind wonder about what's about to happen next in Heroes Season 02. I've been chasing this series from NBC since last year. Took me such a long time to download everything, but manage to get the rest with the help of Sam.
I think "Tim Kring" did a very good job on the story. I was basically devouring every episode like the last morsel on my plate. It's a very well thought out series.
My Favourite 2 Heroes in the show!
Hiro Nakamura
Peter Petrelli
My Favourite Painting in the show!
Heroes Returns in April! It's time to save the world! Heroes returns April 23. I'll be looking forward to Heroes Season 02. Can't wait for April to come!
Are we really happy with This lonely game we play Looking for the right words to say Searching but not finding Understanding anyway We're lost in this masquerade
Both afraid to say we're just too far away From being close together from the start We tried to talk it over But the words got in the way We're lost inside this lonely game we play
(*) throughts of leaving disappear Each time I see your eyes And no matter how hard I try To understand the reason Why we carry on this way And we're lost in this masquerade
We tried to talk it over But the words got in the way We're lost inside this lonely game we play
Managed to watch this show recently. Really touched me in a way that no such other mellow drama movie ever had. His pain as a father was so heart wrenching that I actually felt his pain even though it was only a movie.
My favorite line from the movie was:
"Don't ever let somebody tell you you can't do something... You got a dream, you gotta protect it... If you want something, go get it. Period."
Will Smith playing Chris Gardner says this in "The Pursuit of Happyness".
For those who haven't caught it. Watch out for the Black man at the end of the movie where Will Smith takes a look at. Its the real Chris Gardner who plays a cameo appearance.
I'm definitely getting the DVD or Blu-Ray for this movie.
1 little thing was the grey jacket that he was wearing in several scenes...
Hmm... Doesn't that look very familiar... Coz it's the same jacket that I got! Lol...
Today, my day started with the strangest event that took place at the carpark at my workplace... My colleague called the Fire Brigade, and I called and MMS Straits Times. Here's a Pic.
Went back for a second look before lunch. Now it's totally charred and wrecked... I wonder if that's a BMW.... sigh.... I feel so Singaporean (KPO). LOL!
Well, it's been quite a while. Here I am once again, trying to update my blog.
The past weekend has been very interesting and intriguing. Too many things to list out. Heh...
Fixed my Blades and went out this morning to blade at ECP only to find out that I snapped my right buckle this time round. Sigh... Got to send in my right blade to replace the broken buckle now... sob.
Well, I supppose God was kind enough to bless me with something else in return for my unfortunate incident. I randomly called in to Class 95 in the morning after I got into the studio and I won a pair of GALA MOVIE TICKETS FOR "TMNT"! (TMNT = Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) Brings back childhood memories for some of us huh. Next upcoming one would be the much awaited "Transformers" movie!
Gonna be a busy week for me. Lots of events to attend after work everyday. Places to go, things to do , to play and not to forget, a little bit of self indulgence.
Thanks for inviting me to your wedding dinner! So happy for you two. The only thing missing here is a proper picture of you two. Lol... There's a group photo of us, but without the Two of you in it. Hoping to get it soon so that I can update it into this blog. Btw, I got a comment that I looked like a HongKong student in my clothes. Heh...
Quite relieved to hear from Dr Julian that I can finally rub my eyes and go swimming without goggles. After 2 months of self control, refraining myself from rubbing my eyes when I'm tired or when I just wake up. It's quite torturous, you know?
Fate has been kind to me, but life still ain't no sunshine. Been doing things to change myself, but I feel it's only external.
Like going for Lasik to get rid of my specs. Some say I look better without them, but mostly agree that they've grown used to seeing me in different specs on different occasions. It's already an accessory that I have on daily.
Gone on a 11 day holiday trip to Hongkong. Went to visit relatives, meet up with some that I've never even seen before. Loiter and mixed around with the locals. Feeling the different culture there was good. Almost didn't wanted to come back, if it's not for those things that I cannot let go off back home.
Haven't coloured my hair in a year. Can you believe it? Friends have been asking me why I haven't been colouring my hair for so long, some thought why I've coloured my hair black on purpose. Well, I guess I've not been in the mood to colour my hair anymore. Just leaving it black, black like my soul?
Maybe if I can put it in words. Perhaps I'd say that the world I'm living in is currently black & white, moving in a slow motion.
It's pretty tough to be a ebullient, jaunty, exuberant person everyday when you go out when it's the exact opposite of how you're feeling.
Went to the beach last Sunday. Had a little sunshine but nothing enough to get me tanned. Nothing much to post except that I enjoyed the company, had a little sunshine but was unable to swim due to my eyes.
Pardon the position I was in for that photo. Not trying to be a Ah Beng, just trying to imitate this character in this Japanese Anime and Manga that I've been following very very very closely.
All in all a great day, but didn't achieve a tan...
Recently pick up my PSP and started playing DJ MAX again. This Korean game really rocks! I just love this song in that game. It's really tough, friends who seen me play or attempted it will vouch for me. It's insane esp in the 8 buttons mode. Gonna get the DJ MAX PORTABLE 2 when it launches soon! Listen and watch the video. ENJOYS!
Someone once mentioned that I looked like I had wings on my feet, gliding on waters gracefully when I have my blades on.
Now those Wings are crippled, broken... just like my spirit.
I recently broke the left buckle!!! So sad that I can't grab my Roces and just go blading as and when I feel like it. Got to go get it fixed. Hope the buckle can be replaced. If not I got to get a power-strap to strap it down or get a new pair of blades. Hopefully a pair of inline fitness skates. Want to train for distance. No more crazy stair riding or insane grinding on stair handles. Too old and rigid to do that anymore. Maybe can put those good old grind plates to rest.
Anyone heard of this song called "Stars" by the group "Dubstars"? I really loved the song since a very long long long time ago. Gives me that dreamy feel, bringing back so many memories... And recently I managed to chance upon that album "Disgraceful" at a 2nd hand cd shop. So happy! So sorry for the blurred image...
Really hate the tissue paper booking system here at Amoy Food Center. All kinds of stuff can be used to use to "book" the seats. Umbrellas for 1 table. 1 Pack of tissue paper for a seat. Company pass holders for a seat. Anything and everything... Now... not only to make matters worse... This has appeared... OMFG!
Hi peepz! Been a while since I've blog (what's new). Anyways, I've just got back from a 11 day trip from HongKong. It was fantastic and I miss it so much already, didn't want to come home at all. Miss the cold weather, the mango pudding dessert which I try my utmost to have after every meal. I swear that it's so fantastic that I'd do anything to eat it soon again! Did some shopping there, went Disneyland, visited some relatives and basically loitered the streets of HongKong blending into the locals there. Communication was easy, I was mistaken as the HongKong locals. I only gave myself away when I order food. I can't read CHINESE PROPERLY FOR NUTS! Too much to say here already. I'll just let you guys view my photos.
Check out my photos from my HongKong Trip by clicking on the Title of this post.
Finally, I'm able to update my Blog once again. Recently I did a makeover shoot again. I'd like to say a special THANKS to all the Gorgeous Staff there and also to the 2 Extremely chatty Hairstylist! They really helped me live thru that long torturous 7 days and turned it into something really fun and enjoyable. I'll post up some photos and if you're keen to look at our crazy poses, please click on the "Title" or "Photo album" Link below.
Haven't been updating my blog in a while. No time, No mood, No nothing at all... Things have been happening but I'm just too got damn tired to blog it down. So here I am once again with my previous big event. The Subaru Challenge. I'd would say looking at people standing there seems easy enough, but when I was there at the hot spot with my hand attached to the car. It seemed almost like an eternity. I only manage to last 10hrs 26mins before I remove my numbed hand from the car to get a drink. I WAS DYING OF THIRST! Felt like I was back on the Brunei Mountains during my army training where we were running low on water and had to ration whatever that's left. Well, there's always next year!
I pretended I'm glad you went away These four walls closin' more every day And I'm dying inside And nobody knows it but me Like a clown I put on a show The pain is real even if nobody knows And I'm crying inside And nobody knows it but me
Why didn't I say The things I needed to say How could I let my angel get away Now my world is just a tumblin' down I can say it so clearly But you're nowhere around
The nights are lonely, the days are so sad And I just keep thinkin' about The love that we had And I'm missin' you And nobody knows it but me
I carry a smile when I'm broken in two And I'm nobody without someone like you I'm tremblin' inside and nobody knows it but me I lie awake it's a quarter past three I'm screamin' at night as if I thought You'd hear me Yeah my heart is callin' you And nobody knows it but me
How blue can I get You could ask my heart But like a jigsaw puzzle it's been torn all apart A million words couldn't say just how I feel A million years from now you know I'll be lovin' you still
The nights are lonely, the days are so sad And I just keep thinkin' about The love that we had And I'm missin' you And nobody knows it but me
Tomorrow mornin' I'm hitting the dusty road Gonna find you wherever, ever you might go I'm gonna unload my heart and hope you come back to me Said when the nights are lonely...
The nights are lonely, the days are so sad And I just keep thinkin' about The love that we had And I'm missin' you And nobody knows it but me
