After taken antibiotics, my swollen eyelid (or they call it sty) is much better now. Now, I have a total different understanding about sty. From my old knowledge, I thought sty would transmit the virus to other people, so I should avoid seeing people in their eyes. Also, I should tie a black thread on the middle finger to prevent transmission. These are archaic thinking before the invention of advance medicine. I don't know why but I have started to inquiry about my past belief since I came to this country. I will not deny that this environment has influenced the way I think. My mind inclines to scientific thinking now.
Anyway, my new understanding about sty is that it is an infection of the eyelid caused by glands (or cells) that secrete from our skin that lubricate the eye. This is a common infection that sometimes will resolve on its own other times antibiotics are required. Although this is just a small matter, I learned a lesson from this experience. Learning is not confined by place and time; knowledge is somewhere surrounding us where we can grasp easily. Pay a little more attention to everyday life that you call it "tedious", you will find out that life is exciting and has richer meanings than you have ever thought.

Hi fren,
Glad to know that your sty in your eye is getting better, hehe so do u still need to wear cup for the whole class when teaching? Just curious!
I like your sharing at the last few sentences. Pay a little more attention and in fact we can learn something from someone, sometime , some place!
cheers my fren!
sorry wear cap not cup.. typo error!

Hi friend, thanks for your message. I didn't wear cap in the class. This has to thank to antibiotics. After taken two pills, the bulge had changed from kidney-bean-size to red-bean-size. And now it has completely gone :)
Great on you my fren!
