Today gt injection... Ouch so darn painful... the first one (MMR, mumps-measles-rubella) hurt SO much when inserted... Really like sewing needle inserting.... And for some reason left a slight lingering pain in my right arm which passed like 1+ hr later... The DPT + oral sabin was injected in my left arm (except for the sabin which was swallowed. Tasted weird) and it didn't hurt as much as the MMR... Although it started to feel numb and painful (my left arm lah) after the pain on the right arm subsided, it still hurts now (I remember from p1 that it hurt for a few days and anyhow the pupils from other classes said the same thing) as I'm typing (I think my upper arm muscles tighten when i'm typing so it hurts)... Ouchh... I'm not 1 who takes pain well...
Just finished a nice real story named Totto-chan The Girl at the Window, written by Tetsuko Kuroyanagi. The story is about a little girl named Totto-chan (her nickname) and she got expelled when she was in first grade in a certain school. Her parents then enrolled her into Tomoe Gakuen, a small 'school' comprising of less than fifty students. The book follows her and her adventures in Tomoe Gakuen, right up to the time when it was destroyed by the Americans in World War II (yup, it takes place so long ago). In fact, Totto-chan was the author herself, and it's something like a biography of her childhood (more like part of her childhood) and the story's pace is just right (although the start of each chapter has no linking to the previous whatsoever so the reader maybe just that little bit confused) that resulted in me using the computer later than usual. Anyhow, that book belongs to Mayvene, so I'm gonna return her tomorrow (yup, I promised her, and besides I'm one who has to finish a book once I start it). I hope for more books to read... I'm bored!
