The False Blog

As it’s summer holiday now, you would expect more posts here. But no, it’s more quiet than ever here. Reasons are 1) I’m lazy, 2) I’m always playing on Neopets, 3) I have homework to do, 4) I’ve worked on a new blog.

What’s that new blog? It’s about CIT. Don’t be disappointed, those of you who don’t study CIT. You can still read it. For those who study CIT and are frustrated that you will never get A for the course work, this is good for you. It sums up what you have heard from Mr Leung, plus (big plus here) my opinions. Curious about what I have to say about this course work? Read my new blog. (Not that I promise an A for you.) Here.

Em, my writing style is going a little crazy, isn’t it? Yeah, this is what you will expect from me. Crazy.

I totally didn’t realise that! I was playing on Neopets when I suddenly remembered. Happy birthday to me then. Honestly I don’t feel anything. But one year older, and I’m still that childish! Hilary Duff has a song called Sweet Sixteen. I don’t want to think of her.

I don’t have any presents yet! I will get my new spectacles tomorrow, that should be the present from mum. My sister said she wants to buy me Doraemon balloons. I’ll stop her because they’re not worth it, although they’re Dora.

You people better get me presents soon! Kidding, right. But for a free gift, get 5 people to sign up at Box.net so that I get a free upgrade (5 GB storage). Then you can worry about really buying me something!

The button’s here:

I went to Metro City today to get a new pair of spectacles. They’re purple. I think you’ll get to see them later this week. It’s not the kind with very think border, those that most people wear these days. They don’t look good on me. So finally we (that’s my mum actually; I’m not interested in choosing these glasses) chose a pair that is quite similar to the one I have now, except it is purple while the current one is red.

Those salespeople were quite silly. Some said I was shy. But what was I supposed to do? I was not a bit interested in choosing those. That man who checked my eyes even said I was scared. I don’t understand.

I have been sick for a few days already. A cold, then sore throat, cough, slight fever, headade. It’s a flu, overall. I went to see the doctor today. Some medicines, of course. And the doctor looked at my eye (my mum told him to), my eye is very red. So he gave me eye drops. And then you might remember I said that I would ask a doctor about my ears. But I didn’t. I haven’t told my mum about this problem, so I didn’t want to tell when I was seeing the doctor. Stupid me, isn’t it?

I get pain in my ears much often than before now. You should remember my old post at the MSN Spaces here. I quote myself here:

My ears don’t feel quite well today. Yesterday night I listened to music for hours by earphones. I know I was wrong. But it was late at night (2 AM) and I couldn’t turn on the speakers.

This morning during the assembly, Ms Pig spoke so loudly. No one was as loud as her. I stood right under the speaker, so I heard all the sounds. It was awful. I felt pain in my right ear (the speaker was at my right). I can feel it even now. But maybe it’s just my imagination.

This two things add up, and I’m going to be deaf someday. Really.

The latest news is, not only is my right ear feeling painful, but also my left ear. Though usually it’s still the right ear.

As the problem is so serious, I did a little research a few days ago. I found this website contains information about a disease "ruptured eardrum".

Let’s look at the symtoms from the website:

• Sharp, sudden ear pain or discomfort
• Clear, pus-filled or bloody drainage from your ear
• Sudden decrease in ear pain followed by drainage from that ear
• Hearing loss
• Ringing in your ear (tinnitus)

Number 1, I have that. Two and three, I don’t think so; nothing went out from my ears. Number 4 is not easy to notice if it’s a small loss. Number 5, I’m not sure what the ringing is like, but generally I don’t hear anything funny.

Next, we study the causes.

• Middle ear infection (otitis media)
• Airplane ear (barotrauma)
• Injury to your ear (acoustic trauma)
• Foreign objects in your ear
• Loud, sudden noise

Now I’m not sure what middle ear infection is. The secord one, airplane ear. I’ve never been on a plane. Third, this one is quite likely. Fourth, I think this one is quite similar to the third one, so yeah, this is llikely too. Number 5 – this is what I’m thinking – loud, sudden noise when I turned the volume of the computer too high accidentally. Not to mention Ms Pig, whose noise was continuous, which causes more harm, I imagine.

Next page, risk factors.

• Fluid buildup from middle ear infection
• Cleaning your ear with small objects to clear away earwax buildup or blockage
• Excessive scratching of your ear due to itchy ears

Actually I don’t understand what "risk factor" is. But look at point 2, I do that sometimes.

Then, when to seek medical advice?

Seek medical care if you have pain or swelling in your ear or drainage from your ear. Discharge of blood or pus may be a sign that your eardrum has ruptured. See your doctor immediately if you develop fever or headache, or if the pain in your ear becomes severe.

You know, on Thursday, I felt a little pain in my head. Next time, when I go to the doctor because of something else, I will probably ask him to check my ears too. Maybe there’s a hole in my eardrum. 

But then on another page it says "A ruptured eardrum usually isn’t serious and often heals on its own without complications." Indeed? This is all I can hope for now. Except there’s really nothing wrong with my ears.

I have realised that my writing is getting worse. Everything I write, like blogs, compositions at school, are bad. I’ll try to list out my problems.

1. The style is too dull. It’s always the same, which makes it very boring.
2. I have no vocabulary. I’m always using easy words, easy phrases.
3. The sentence structures are usually the same.
4. I sometimes find it hard to use words to express myself. (Like I couldn’t find words for the last point.)
5. The ideas are boring too. I don’t elaborate points.

So there are so many problems! Not small ones, they’re big! You know, I wanna ask, is there any way I can improve?
