So today i had a review with the Ethical Board about my research proposal. With 2 hours to go i jumped into the shower and after that while i was cleaning my ears with the cotton bud................
YES!!!
That's right!!!!
It got bloody stuck in my ear again!! Not for the 2nd time....but for the 3rd freaking time!!!!!!!
I mean in case a few of you still think i even have a semblance of a brain, this should be proof enough that i am absolutely stupid!
Of course i immediatey called prem and was practically in tears telling him bout it, not cos i was worried bout the pain but more so the expenses. And of course i was crying for my sheer stupidity
So he sweetly offered to come over in 10 minutes and take me to the doctor...and i thought to myself that i'm so very lucky to have such fantastic friends
Little did i know why he really wanted to come
"Why are we sending you for your PhD ah? I mean 3 times!!!!"
"I think i should become a doctor la....i would make a ton of money from you"
"CAN YOU HEAR ME?????"
Bastard!
And as soon as we entered my family doctor's office and i told him what happened, the first thing he said to me was "Aren't you doing your PhD in pharmacy girl?"
I tell you i wanted to crawl under a rock and die. And of course prem immediately burst out laughing
Thankfully the removal wasn't too painful but my 'pain' wasn't over yet. My doctor then proceeded to demonstrate to me how to roll and use a tissue paper instead to clean my ears. As he told me :
Once is an accident. Twice can also be considered an accident. But 3 times is...
Stupidity?
No it's chronic and an intervention has to be done!
And as he sent me off he told me "Don't use anymore cotton buds and next time come and see me for other things!"
You should have seen Prem's face. He was having the time of his life!
And now he's started calling me Cotton Joe.....
I still can't believe this happenend yet again la.....i mean 3 times!!!!!
God i'm soo stupid!

Cotton buds are too soft, Saby, you need a tiny spatula that will really dig out the wax. I think it must be a psychological thing - you subconsciously want to plug your ears for some reason.
A well know saying in the medical profession...
"Never put anything in your ear smaller than your elbow."
Oh you fortunate thing, you must be blessed with a tight auditory canal.
When i dig my ears, it's like throwing a banana down a hallway.
LOL! I had that problem wen i was a kid. It happened twice.
IN PRIMARY SCHOOL. Not while I was doing my PhD. :P
Perhaps Prem shud call u Cotton Ear Joe. Then proceed to sing that Rednex song.
Well babe, at least you did well in your ethics review... I'm assuming you didn't share the cotton joe episode with them? Hehehehehe
maybe you need to change the brand of cotton buds ur using...
or kill the troll living in ur ear..
Oh no, Saby! Are you Cotton Eye Joe? Hehe.. I think I'd be worried, if I saw you, but I'd giggle as well. Such a hot woman, but... with cotton stuck in her ear, oh my... -_- hehe
Hope you're fine now.
Couldn't you just pull it out yourself?
Yes the frequency is rather alarming. What are the chances. You have been jinxed in some way that is beyond all of our mortal comprehension.
I hope this is the last for you. I was all worked up about you being in the shower. I will leave this blog with that image.
GB : Probably developing a rash from having to listen to all that bullshit being spewed by morons around me :p
Scurf : Really ah???? Well rest assured absolutely nothing is going near my ears...unless of course it's my partner's tongue...heehhee
Yee Wei : Haahahahahahahahah. Clown!!! Although i think it's hihgly sacreligious to be throwing a banana anywhere...they is yummy!
Kav : Oh god please...he's already getting such a kick out of calling me a redneck! And making fun of my cheap-ass cotton-buds!
Boobs : Oh trust me i was quite tempted to just to ease the tension...well mine at least....just in case the twins didn't work *wink*
Mo : NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I love the troll living in my ear!! He's my fren
