Insects. Oh how we hate them. Flying ones are worse.

I've never really had a problem with insects. Especially the small little harmless looking ones. But KNN, a life turning event took place last night.

I was happily on the phone when I saw an insect fly past me. It looked so tiny and harmless that I didn't even bother to swat it away. Half a second later, I heard a loud buzzing noise and my instinct told me that my other ear (not covered by the phone) was in danger. I yelped and tried to duck. And then I realised I couldn't find the insect anymore. Did it fly out of the window or what?

I was scared la. And the next thing I did was stupid. I tried to dig my ear using a cotton bud. Mistake. Sam checked online and told me that we shouldn't insert any objects into our ear cos it may push the insect in further. Instead I should pour some warm water or some weirdo oil thingy into the ear to drown the insect and then flush it out. In the end I just slept. Another remedy was to create total darkness and shine a torch into the ear cos insects are attracted to light and may dig its way out. So I switched off the light, point my radio clock towards my pillow, and slept with my penetrated ear facing it.

This morning I still felt discomfort. Too paiseh to call my workplace to tell them hey i'm going to the doc cos got insect in my ear. They'll all think I chao geng cos I watch the manu match last night. Zzz. So I came to work and went to the clinic during breakfast. Doc manhandled my ear with his hand and microscope/telescope and told me that there's nothing inside except for some inflamation. He said that perhaps the insect bit me before flying off. CCB.

And so here I am, sitting at my desk, dripping ear drops into my ear once every 4 hours. SIAN.
