This morning I had a medical appointment at the National Eye Centre. Nothing serious, just that I have some atopic syndrome (allergic hypersensitivity) that kept on bothering my eye, making them red and/or itchy, etc.
I was told (by another doctor) that its all in a "package", usually involving eczema, allergic rhinitis, allergic conjunctivitis and asthma. I have of them except of eczema. -___-"" Dreadful isit?
So I just went to the eye centre to have my eyes throughly checked, making sure that my eyes are misbehaving because of allergy and nothing more. :)
Despite having made a appointment, the wait was quite long. I had to wait like 45 minutes for my turn to do the pre-consultation evaluation tests. Although it was barely nine in the morning, the human traffic there was already rather heavy, mostly elderly patients accompanied by the children or spouses or middle-aged adults. Soon after the evaluation tests, I managed to see the consultant, and more checks are done on my eyes.
All in all, within a short few hours visit there, I spent a total of $46/-. $31 on the evaluation tests and consultation, $15 on a bottle of eye drop!!!! Very expensive! Almost fainted.
But looking on the brighter side of things, its lucky that I only have to pay the subsidised amount. The full rate for the evaluation tests and consultation are a whopping $74!

Gmarket Haul
As promised! A post about my Gmarket haul on a Sunday morning!
I've been really really well behaving! Only bought very little stuffs.. Lol~ See see! My EMS box is so small!
First up, I finally bought my first pair of shoes from Gmarket! I bought a pair of flats actually. Its not very expensive, maybe around $11 (Sing dollars) without shipping cost.
Looks cute isn't it?!
Unfortunately, as much as I like this pair of flats, the size I selected is half a size too small! -_-"" I can still wear it, but it squeezes my big and small toes a lot! Not only that, it also causes my feet to blister at the back! As it is too small, I can only rub some Vaseline hoping that it will soften up soon!
Usually, if it hurts at the back, I will stick a heel liner to avoid further abrasion, but the shoe needs to be slightly looser in order the fit my feet and the heel liner! So this time, I can only put a plaster instead... My feet are still sporting the "war marks" ie blisters at the back... So freaking ugly!!
Anyhow, its lucky that the flats didn't cost much, so my heart isn't paining that badly. It still can be worn, but just not during shopping trips.
The shoe itself is not made of the softest material and the soles of the shoes are very smooth meaning that it can actually get quite slippery when walking on smooth surfaces or on a wet floor. Not recommended for people with two left feet and certainly not to be worn on a rainy day.
I'm not sure if I've said it in the past, but I have always wanted to get my paws on the Clinicare haircare! After searching local drugstores and prowling through local Japanese drugstores, the famous Ocean shop at Chinatown and adambeauty.com, I gave up! Clinicare could not be spotted at any of these places.
But thank goodness, there's always Gmarket to count on! Ta da~ I finally got my paws on Clinicare shampoo, conditioner and etc~~ ^-^ (Will give a proper review another time)
This time, I also gotten some more Banila Co stuffs~!
- Cotton puffs
- de la Couture Moisture Body Lotion
- it fresh Sensitive Lip & Eye Make Up Remover
- Prime Primer
- Kiss Essence SPF 10
- Eye Love Lash Essence
- Eye Love Gel Eyeliner in black
- Oil Blotters
The GWPs I've got are:-
- Banila Co paper bag
- Love holic Pearl Mascara
- Lip palette (sample)
- Prime Primer x3 sachets
- IPKIN White Success Chiffon Mask
- Enprani XXX?? (should be a toner, don't understand the korean words on the bottle)
- LacVert Skin Fitness Firming Softener
When I bought some of the Banila Co stuffs, I was intending to give them as gifts, so I will not be unsealing or trying them, so no reviews for those!
So far, I've only tried the Lip & Eye Make Up Remover, Lash Essence, Gel Eyeliner and Oil Blotters. I will try to give them a proper review another time. In summary, I think that they are nothing fantastic, just normal but the gel eyeliner really disappointed me! KATE gel eyeliner wins hands down!
Some close up pictures on the products and GWPs....

Sneak Peek
I am so lagging behind in my posts! My latest Gmarket haul and arrived and I have yet to blog about the haul before it!
Anyways, I just finished editing the pictures, so most probably I will blog about it tomorrow morning =D
Lastly, here's a sneak peek of the haul I am going to write about tomorrow!
I am so tired... Dragged my tired body to work early in this morning.. The life of my accountant (or in my case, an accounts executive) is sure pathetic... Always busy at the beginning and at the end of the month :~(
