Serious Sleep Deprivation

Met up with Hj first before proceeding to the bus stop near Yl's house. While waiting, we decided to pop by 7-11 to buy stuff while waiting for Yl to come back from City Hall. I chose to drink mocha cause they provide free toppings such as marshmellow and chocolate powder. I put a lot of marshmellow cause I got sugar craving. Haha! We sat by the bus stop, she eating her ice cream and me drinking my mocha. We looked like homeless creatures without a place to go, roaming the streets and decided to take a rest at the bust stop. Haha...

Finally Yl came and we proceeded to have Teochew Porridge for supper dinner. I think we had quite a wide variety of dishes... Otah, Salted Vegetable, Pork Ribs, 3 kinds of eggs, steamed egg, salted egg and onion egg which I mistook for the radish egg. Yl didn't want to eat, so all the food were to be finished by Hj & me.

Met Darren, my secondary school classmate there. Hmm... surprised that he can recognise me. So maybe that means I haven't changed a lot. Haha... Or maybe cause I wore spectacles instead? Then not much difference?

After our supper dinner, it was already way past midnight. Cab fare now double hor? Haha... Not willing to take cab. Rather take the last bus which probably departed at midnight and will past by soon. But that would mean that Yl would have to walk home alone and she was afraid of running into some psychopath. So we detoured and accompanied her down that ulu ulu area right till house. Then went to wait for bus. Detoured a long way to accompany Hj so that she won't get too bored.

Home sweet home... Couldn't sleep after my shower cause I had to wait for hair to dry. After it was dried, I tried to sleep. But I couldn't cause I was on a sugar high after consuming a pretty big cup of mocha with alot of marshmellows.

Woke up after 2 hours cause it was time for church. Quite zombiefied and blur. Trying hard to stay awake. Went to eat brunch at the kopitiam. Then headed home. bro wanted to go void deck to try his new skateboard (one of his presents).
I also wanted to try!!! So I also went down.

Don't see people skate like so effortless. Its actually damn tough lah... Maybe find one day really too free, make up till very punk punk kinda pattern then go take picture. Haha...
Like Avril Lavigne a.k.a Sk8ter girl. Wahaha!!!

Cheerio Brother!

This entry is dedicated to my bro. Hahaa...

Few days ago, godma was asking me what kind of cake should she get for bro. We wanted to get something more unusual. Not the usual cakey cake kinda pattern with fruits over it. She suggested getting those cake where you can print photo on it. But I felt it was kinda waste of money cause have to pay extra. Somehow or another, the thought of getting an ice cream cake popped up.

Its one of those times when even your sister and relative conspire a birthday surprise for you, *Thats it man....* you will just be too shocked for words. We decided to get him an ice cream cake. What will be more fun than having a kiddy cake eh? Haha!! We looked through the website and found the cake which we thought fits the criteria of cute and kiddy. Heh heh heh!!!

We went for a buffet lunch. After lunch, godma went to collect the cake. bro actually wanted to accompany her to collect the cake but godma didn't allow. Don't want to spoil the fun. Then she came back to the restaurant and since it was an ice cream cake, the box was tightly sealed.

Muahaha... I posted some pictures and thoughts which were probably going through his mind.

bro opening his cake eagerly...


bro having a peak before revealing it to everyone...


wahaha!!! Too shocked for words...


Still stumped for words...


Tell me, how would you feel if you get this cake for your 18th birthday?



The clown wanted to have a smoke...


The clown started to smoke...


Yummy 2 flavoured ice cream cake...

Cookies & Cream + Lime Sherbet.

Believe it or not, the cake was so hard that the normal metal knife provided by the restaurant had difficulty cutting through it. One of the staff saw us having a hard time so he went kitchen and brought out the big butcher knife. He even took the initiative to take a pair of gloves and help us cut the cake. Then we didn't have to get our hands dirty. Good service. After about 10-15 mintues, the cake was cut. The figurines's colours were smudge. They were melting...

Took the melting figurines.


Buahaha... Happy Birthday bro!


That aside, I came home and promptly fell asleep after shopping a while. Tired...
Woke up and came online. Eh... Surprised to see Hj coming online too. I thought she was going clubbing. She didn't go cause too ex already.

We were bored... She suggested going nearby kopitiam for supper dinner. Then we decide to call Yl since we know she probably won't be going clubbing cause of other reasons. True enough, she was outside heading back soon. Because of her, our plan to go kopitiam was changed to going to eat somewhere near her house instead.

Kk... Heading out already. I'm bored...

My MP3 Player Died... But Was Revived!

I spent my last few days reading through those damn books trying to figure out how the hell to draw some database stuff. Still can't figure it out. Damn it... Anyway, was supposed to meet up with supervisor today. But due to my lack of time after reading those books, I didn't really do much things. So I postpone the meeting to monday instead. Bahh...

I wanted to get out of my home, away from my comfort zone so that I can try to have better concentration. Brought my books and wanted to go to a library instead. Just as I stepped out of the house, I realised my mp3 player died on me. Pressing the 'On' button will only result in the screen displaying 'File System Error'. I tried to revive it as I would need my mp3 player when I go to the library. Tried so many methods, even resorted to thinking my laptop screwed up and I had to on the desktop to try. It didn't work either. Downloaded latest version of the program and it didn't work either. I was getting pissed already. Went to the website to search for a customer service number. But they only allow new users to call for installation help. No choice, I resorted to email. Received an automated reply saying that they will look into my problem and get back to me in the next working day which would probably be monday. I was saddened that I could not listen to music. Anyway, by the time I was done, there wasn't time for study anymore. I had to go collect money and buy bro's birthday present. Resigned to fate, left my mp3 player at home and left home sulking. Sian 1/2.

I went to look for my bro's birthday present. I shopped alone, combing OG, Robinsons, Hereen, Cineleisure but sadly, if the thing I spot was nice, it was either too ex, don't know if he will like it. I also don't really wanna buy something which may look too gay on him. I don't like him sissified. Sighh... The more I walk, the more I feel like buying my own stuff instead. I saw this leather wallet which looks quite cool lah... Too bad over my budget. So I called 1st Bro to see if he wanted to share. He didn't want to. Haiz... Called 2nd bro.
Me: "Hey, do you want to chip in some money to buy yourself part of your present?"
He: "Har? What thing?"
Me: "A wallet. But its over way over my budget lah... So how? Want?"
He: "No."
Me: "Wahh leowww... Damn you... Now I gotta crack my brain to find something else. Bye!"
Again I had to think of what else to buy which was within my budget.

Anyway, after that went to meet up with Victoria to collect our money. Then after that went our seperate ways. Headed over to City Hall and tried shopping there for his present. I walked so much without sitting down to rest. Damn tired that I wanted to just heck care and buy him something stuff from Body Shop and be done with it. A little voice in my head just said don't buy yet, see first lah... Combed the whole Raffles City but found nothing...

Finished shopping so I just had to stand at City Hall like an idiot waiting for Hj, Xl & Yl. Also meeting up with the buyer for a bag which I sold online. Haha... Stupid me went to type the wrong price. Ended up having someone bid so no choice, gotta let go of the bag. No mp3 entertainment for me... Sian to the core.

3 of them reached and the buyer was running late. 3 of them hungry so keep on complaining. I felt guilty that they gotta wait with me. Finally she arrived and exchanged goods for cash. Walked towards Marina Square to see whats nice to eat. Ohh... I managed to buy a wallet on the way there. Haha!! It was within my budget. Happy with my choice of present and account's damage.

Before arranging the meeting, all of us said we should eat at somewhere budget unanimously. I thought will end up at some fast food outlets or food court. Skipped going to LJS cause the fishy smell was just overwhelming even before we walked past. We didn't want to go there and come out after that smelling like we went deep sea fishing.

Somehow, we ended up at Cafe Cartel instead, so much for budget eating. There was a queue. We joined the queue thinking that the we could be in there having our dinner in no time. But we were so wrong... We waited so long and since had to stand, my legs were crying out for mercy... Chatting over dinner, they tried to psycho me to go clubbing today. I didn't want to go cause I wasn't too keen on going as today would be bro's birthday and I didn't want to tired myself out.

Came home and I found an email regarding my mp3 player's problem. I went to download the whatever program and I managed to get it to work again. Yipee!!! I'm so happy. Haha...

Interesting Menu

This is what you get when you directly translate Chinese to English... Haha...
Humourous!
When you eat this, it will feel so smooth that it would probably just slide off your teeth and you can't even chew it.

Too bad, you just have to swallow it whole since its so silky.
The turnip ate the fish before you... So now you can only enjoy the fish which was taken by the turnip.
I thought turnips took water and minerals from the soil to grow...
This one is special, it consumes silk and fish too... Exclusive type of turnip, available only in this restaurant.
The shrimp fucks the salted vegetable steams the vegetable several.
Sounds like those primary school kinda exercise where you have to rephrase the sentence with the list of words they give you.
Let me attempt it...
The several shrimps steams and fuck the salted vegetables.
Sounds more logical right? I left out the words 'the vegetable' it is redundant. Haha!

Ok... I shall only post the picture. Shan't make fun of this one. Religions which uses joss sticks may feel offended.

Another one where I shall rephrase it.
The turnip's fry fucks the bulb of lily.

Yeh yeh... Its the crooked kinda sentence. Go excersie your mind to see if you get what I mean.

Ohh my gosh! Pity the silk lah... Look at the gang of parsleys piled up on top of each other to fuck the silk? I can't even find the poor single silk.

Money Money Money

Today I woke up earlier so that I could go and settle my financial stuff or rather, lack of financial kinda stuff. I wanted to have a new ATM card. But the counter lady refused to chang for me, saying that if its not spoilt they won't change it. So she checked and said that the magnetic strip was not spoilt and if I wanted a new one, I would have to pay a fee to change it. Of course I didn't want to pay anything to get a new card. But somehow, I still had my ways to get my new card. In the end, after hearing my pitiful story she decided to give me a new card and waive the charge. *Yeay!*

Then I went on to activate my vPOST account so that I can do online shopping.
Note: I'm digging my own grave financially. But its good to have the account ready should there be any sale and I want the item badly. Haha!
I think I'm damn blur. Cause whether I go down personally to the post office or send in an email of my IC, its the same process. I won't get to activate my account just as yet. It is just to verify only...
I forgot to read the line below which says an activation pin will be mailed to you.
-__-"'

Then I went to another bank to deposit coins. Being the poor girl young lady who hasn't reached 21 years of age, I am entitled to deposit coins and have the service charge wavied. But each time can only deposit a maximum of 200 coins. I don't know how come I've collected so much 5 cent coins over so many years. That now, I gotta make 3 visits just to bank them all in. If you do the math, each time I can only deposit $10 worth into my account. I rather go seperate times and queue about 20 to 30 mintues each time than pay the service charge to deposit more than 200 coins each time. Haha! Yes, I'm a cheapo. Whats the point of depositing $10 when you will only end up having $9?

Blehhh... Gonna lead a cheapo lifestyle to build up my funds. Shucks!

I went to clear my cupboard so that I can find out much stuff I really have. Do a stock check and scare myself so that I won't be so tempted to buy more... Haha...
Oh, I shall also add some comments on some of the products.

Introducing clockwise my T.LeClerc Loose Powder (LP), Brandless LP, L'Oreal Liquid Foundation, Maybelline LP and I Nuovi Concealer.

The TLC LP is by far the most expensive loose powder I know of. $80 for that small tin. *Faints* But its good!
Concealer is quite good too... Has pretty good coverage.

Next up from clockwise are my Compacts from Clinque , I Nuovi, Clarins and L'Oreal.

Clinque Compact is a gift from my aunt. Someone gave her but she don't use so give the vain me. I already got 3 to use. Actually 4 lah, I got anothe L'Oreal Compact but I didn't want to put it in the picture. 4 Compacts can last me till don't know when liao... So I actually wanted to sell the Clinque one to earn money cause its brand new. But godma refused to let me sell it. Blehh...

Coming up, my Blushers from Maybelline and I Nuovi. Stick one is from Red Earth.

Brand new Maybelline blusher still unopened. Bought cause I went for the sales and it was damn cheap. Colour quite similiar to the other Maybelline one hor?

Check out my eyeshadows... So many many colours. I don't remember where I got some.


4 Mascara (Black, 2 Browns, Blue), 3 Eyeliner (Liquid, Pencil, Retractable), 2 Eyebrow pencils.

So many sia... Buy buy buy seldom use. Haha... Actually there are more mascaras, no more space in the picture so I didn't put them in.

Lipstick, Lipgloss, Lipbalm, Lippencil

Ranges from Bloom, I Nuovi, Maybelline, Red Earth, blah blah blah...
My most precious one is of course the Lancome lipstick. Heh heh...

Last but not least, my Perfumes... The financial killer...

Top row: Red Earth - Free, Stitch - No. 12, Escada - Ibiza Hippie, Burberry - Brit, Esprit - Dream, Lancome - Miracle, Chanel - Chance.
Bottom row: Gucci - Rush 2, Issey Miyake - L'eau D'Issey, Lancome - Miracle So Magic!
These are all the big bottles only. I didn't include those minature or samples. Haha...
I have 10 bottles... 10 different fragrance. No need to be scared I can't find the right one to suit the occasion or my mood. If I'm bored of one, I can just switch and switch till all finish.
Come to think of it, there is a missing big bottled one. Its my Estee Lauder - Beautiful? I couldn't find it leh... I can't remember where I left it.

Gosh, I can really stop buying perfume and make up for the next 2 years already. Haha...
Enough to last. *Note to myself: Stop Jessie! STOP STOP STOP BUYING!*
Just did a count and there are 59 items in all the pictures. Its really not all of what I have. There are more. Either no space or going to use finish so no point putting it in the picture. Haha...

Never Play With Food Or Be Haunted By Nightmare

One of the first few things I did immediately after waking up was to walk to the turtle tank and check if Squirt was still alive.

I had a nightmare. In the nightmare, I walked to my kitchen and saw 1st Bro feeding both turtles with chicken meat. Fed them a lot... Recalled telling him not to feed them so much as I don't want them to grow too big too quickly. He ignored me and carried on feeding them even more. After feeding them, he took Squirt and pressed the bottom shell and broke it in such a way that all the turtle stuff started oozing out and can see internal cross section of Squirt. Then he placed Squirt on the stove (no fire, just the empty space) to crawl and left to suffer. I started screaming... UncleN was at my place at that time and came out to see what happened. Tried to console me that Squirt was going to be alright and it wouldn't die. I tried to hope for a miracle and the hole would close up. But it didn't happened. She looked so helpless and if turtles could scream, I bet she would have been screaming. I tried to touch and sayang my dying Squirt. Her pleading eyes which seemed like they were crying made contact with my eyes.
Next thing I knew, I woke up with crying...

Must be the dinner last night. 2nd bro was playing with the chicken head. Kissing the beak and all that poses. Even saw the cross section of the neck, which maybe explains why I dreamt of seeing the cross section of Squirt. Perhaps thinking too much about it made me have the nightmare.

But this nightmare will not turn me into a vegan. I just won't play with food with the head still there. I am never gonna disturb a chicken head, fish head or whatever. I don't wanna dream of my Squirt dying again. Never gonna attempt to try turtle soup!

Happy Birthday Grandma!

Managed to wake up myself even though I've barely clocked 5 hours of sleep. Abled to get ready to go to church and I was able to chase bro to hurry up. Usually he is the one who keeps nagging at me for being the slow coach.

After church, we went for lunch. I was practically swallowing my mee siam without much chewing cause bro was supposed to go do community service project in Orchard and was running late.

Came home online for awhile then hit the sofa for a sweet nap. Woke up and prepared to go for Grandma's birthday dinner.

People from one of the top few JCs work smart not hard. Really true for bro's case. He is really a snake eater. Haha... Actually I knew he will slack lah... But I didn't know he can do it so well. Shall share what he did cause I felt its damn funny...
He was supposed to go distribute stuff along Orchard for some youth campaign. Knowing him, I thought that he would just give out a few then go off to slack somewhere already. Was expecting him to either throw away the stuff or return it after a while. But... Nope! That didn't happened. He managed to clear whatever he was supposed to distribute and still managed to go catch a nap, watch street soccer and play LAN game while chalking up community involvement hours.
How he did it? Well, apparently, he managed to come up with some lame valid reason to get some other people to do the distributing and he went off to slack. So while others do the hard work, he was there enjoying life.
See lah... Thats the difference when you're from one of the top few JCs. They work their brains to find ways to make others work their muscles and sweat.
Dad was saying next time when he gets into NS, he will probably be the Tuang King.

My dressing this weekend is very brightly coloured. Yesterday was white polo tee. But that one was forced to wear white cause of the event. Today I purposely wore my bright green polo tee to Grandma's birthday dinner celebration. Although she no longer pan tang, unlike last time, but still, just wear lah for fun lah. Also to match my braces mah... Haha!

Dinner was alright... It was held in a typical chinese restaurant. I dared bro to go up to the restaurant's stage to do a funny pose at the wedding cake standing there. He did the pose as if there was an imaginary bride in his arms cause on the cake, the figurine also stood that way. Except that it was both bride and groom. Stupidly funny.

Then there was the chicken dish. It was whole chicken roasted or something like that. So it includes the head and the ass as well. Again, he was trying to be lame. He took the chicken head and posed as if he was kissing the beak, eating it and all that. Blardy lame lah...

Since I'm the only girl among my generation, the only neice to my aunties and uncles, the only grand-daughter to my grandma. They probably have an impression that I'm damn vain and spendthrift. UncleJ was talking to me and the conversation went something like this...
Him: "Wahh, you do braces, sure very ex right? Eh, new specs? Cost how much?"
Me: "New specs?? I had this pair for more than a year already..." -_-
Him: "Really? Never see you wear before."
Him again: "New earrings too"
Me: "Not really..."
Him: "Aiyo, your digital camera confirm you bought it right?"
Me: "No... Daddy bought it for us to share."
Him: "Must be cause you wanted it."

Wahh liao eh... Don't say me like that mah... I will shy one leh. I'm the only char boh besides my bro and my cousins leh... Of course I'll be the only one who wears make up. I'm also the only one who wears accessories cause my bros don't really wear, cousins still quite young. Bros also reap the benefits of using the digital camera after I brought up the thought to get one mah...
But yes, its true, I have more material assets than them. Haha! Count in terms of bags, clothes, make up, perfumes, shoes.
They share one room, 1/2 each. I have one room to myself, 3/4 is my stuff. 2nd bro's stuff does flow to the living room, my stuff also sometimes present in the living room and even kitchen. Haha!
I'm horrible... I know. La-di-dahhhh

Aeroplane Flew...

Today rushed down to the event I was supposed to attend. Blehh... Last minute say I gotta reach early. So no choice, had to take cab down. In the end, reach there early also nothing much I could do. Wasted my money. Sian...

Was some private seminar for some doctors and dermatologist. I peeped at the guest list. The title column was Dr. Something something. Everyone of them were doctors. Anyway, I sat in and listened to the talk bout skin problems. What treatment works well with which problem, which is just useless for what problem. Blah blah blah. Interesting talk haha...

Anyway, was supposed to meet someone for dinner after that. I was told that the event would be till 5.30pm. So I asked if can meet at 6pm. But that person was catching a movie and can only meet at 7pm, asked if its ok? I said it was ok and I'll wait lor.

By 4.45pm, I was more or less done. Many of the doctors left already. So much food leftover. They over catered. We were asked to da bao the food we want. When we were done, there were still too much food to waste. The full time staff there kept on doggy bagging up the food and shoving it to me and another gal to bring home. Walking towards PS with a big bag of food and reached at bout 5.40pm.

6pm, Bitching Buddy called to see if I'm home or not. Finding dinner kaki. I said I cannot cause I'm already at PS gonna meet friend. So BB asked me to cancel lah, after all still early and friend was around that area, probably with someone else also. But I felt that to do that was a bit mean lah... So I said I wouldn't cancel.

6.30pm, friend sms-ed me, "Eh, if i can't go will you get pissed?"
I'm thinking would I be pissed? Do I even have to think whether I should get pissed? I don't cause I was! Half an hour before meeting time then come fly my aeroplane? Its not like I'm at home then if you say don't want to meet, I still won't be so pissed lor. But I'm already there, waited for bout an hour alone and what is this sia...
I forgot wat I replied my friend but the reply I got back was, "I thought you shun bian pass by there." Thanks a lot!
Not sure if I replied to that sms... Cause I was busy liaising another meeting with someone else. But the next sms I got was, "Are you angry?"
Without a doubt I was. So my reply was, "Whats new? I'm on the way back."
Note: 'Whats new' refers to friend flying my areoplane. Not that I get angry so often that there is nothing new.

Thank God that the other meeting with some other friends, they did not feel like I was using them. I hope not.
They also "Wahh liao eh... How can like that... ... ..." with me for having my aeroplane flew.
They were already on the way for dinner. But they decided to wait for me for bout half an hour then have dinner together. How nice of them...

Friendship!

Today I finally met up with my FYP supervisor after 2 weeks of absence. Haha...! He has been really patient when trying to get me to send him stuff so that he can keep track on my progress. But wasn't really successful though. Haha... Finally today I show him my 2 weeks of work. Ok lah, he said. But still a bit behind schedule and I missed out quite a few things. He asked, 'Didn't you do it in your previous report? Why does it seem so foreign to you?' I replied, 'I didn't do all these the previous time cause I didn't really understand what it means. He exclaimed, 'Aiyahh!!! Now you know why you fail lah... Somemore handed in late.' *Shakes head and laughs*

First thought that came to mine mind was if I use my existing program, add in more stuff in the report and hand in on time, I can pass? Wahaha... Hear already very happy leh! But then, I don't want a guess guess type of answer. See what happened the last time when I guessed that the person who passed me failed me in the end? I must do more than that to guarantee that I pass this time. Must make sure there isn't much room for failure.

On the topic of friendship... Was having dinner with Adel just now. She asked if there was anything wrong bout her which I don't like. Hmm... I couldn't give an answer. I've known her for almost half my life. The only arguement / quarrel we had was in primary school. But we both can't recall the reason for it. Probably one of those lame lame lame primary school kiddy stuff.

When I questioned her back, she also couldn't really find an answer. Then I was just saying, if I were to post that question to say maybe HJ or XL, they would probably say one thing. I asked her to guess...
Her guess was...
Lateness! (Notice she never used the word punctuality, neither did I)
Sian... Ok lah, I shall try to change.

Was chatting with Gracie just know. She questioned if the MSN picture I'm using currently (same one as picture posted 3 entries ago) is me or not. At first, I thought she wanted to say something like it was photoshopped or something. But instead, after confirming with her that that was me, she said I've slimmed down. Did I??? She is the first person to say that based on a photo. By the way, my face was not photoshopped in anyway. Only the surroundings to create the dreamy effect.
The more I look at the picture, I just feel my face is tilted in an angle which makes my face look very round leh. Perhaps its still round. Just that last time was rounder. Bahahaa!

Kk... Ending off now. Tomorrow got a one day event to go to.

???

What am I doing? Sighh... I really don't know. Precious time ticking away.
Tick-tock tick-tock. But I'm still here, stuck and lost but still delaying.

Cafes, Cafes, Cafes!

Ba baa black sheep have you any wool?
Yes sir! Yes sir! Three bags full...

Hahaha... Suddenly had the rhyme in my head.


Met up with Hj & Xl for dinner. We wanted to go for some budget meals. How budget is budget?
I thought they didn't want to go Cartel for dinner cause that is slightly more pricey. Didn't want to go Sketches cause its also over $10. Ended up going to that V8 Cafe. 20 cents below $10 excluding GST somehow is considered budget? Hahaaa!!! I was actually expecting some food court or somewhere.
Sighh... I can never seem to escape the luring cafes can I?

After dinner, we walked past the neo-print shop. Hj suggested that we go take one for fun. We have not taken neo-print together for quite a long time already. Few years???
It cost $8 to take using those newer machines with changeable backdrops.
So we went in, went to 3 different machines and took about 40 shots!
Do the math on how much we spent okie?

We took many solo pictures. This is one of mine. Nice??? Hahaaa!! I like it. Very dreamy kinda effect right?


Now, what if I said we didn't spent a single cent?
Believe??

Its true!!

I brought my digi cam to take pictures, but then, since Hj wanted to take neo-print but Xl wasn't willing to part with the money, we compromised and used digi cam inside the neo-print machine lor...
We have about 39 shots excluding those which got deleted.

Armed with a digi cam, you can snap all you want, then do Photoshop.

Suddenly thought of that Master card advertisement.
Having make-over studio shoot for 3- $350
Taking neo-print at 3 machines - $24
Using digi cam at 3 neo-print machines - Priceless
For everything else, theres always Master card.

Muahaahaa!!! Cheapos we are! Tra-la-laaaa...

TV Addict

Bahh... I haven't really been honest to myself. Cheating and depriving myself time to do my FYP. Always telling myself I can do it tomorrow. Putting it off so many days. I feel like crap.
Seriously!

Distractions a plenty. I should try to get my schedule back. My falling way way back already.
Damn it.

Today woke up at 3pm. Watched the serial 'Lost' marathon then went to carry on with more shows. Finally went to cook myself some dinner.

Tried to fix myself some decent dinner. Grilled some fish and tried to cook congee using microwave. Ended up making a mess in the microwave cause it overflowed. Sian...

Nonetheless, my dinner was nice. Not too bad. At least its cooked to cater for people who can't chew. Yes, I still find it hard to chew. Been a few days already.

Anyway, carried on my Tv marathon watching 'Road Rules Extreme'. Pretty interesting reality show. Stunts they do are quite extreme. Like so damn fun leh. Haha!

Dad said I've lost weight. Sigh... Inevitable right? I sleep bout 12 hours each day. Eating only one or two meals. Even my meals are small portioned cause I get pissed with eating that I'll throw the food which I can't chew away. Bleahhhh!

So for those seeking ways and means to lose weight, maybe you can try paying close to $4k to get braces. But if you don't have so much to spare, why not just go extract some tooth out. One a week, if you got 4 wisdom teeth, extract one every fornight. Bound to lose weight after 2 months!

Eating Is Troublesome

I'm more kan cheong about removing the stitches rather than fixing the braces. I still went to ask the dentist will it hurt when removing?? He assured me that the pain would be pretty minimal, just a bit.
Just like a *tug* pulling of a strand of hair on my forearm.
-_-"' My dentist very lame lor...

Anyway, after that brackets fixed on before pulling out the stitches. Experienced short acute pain when stitches were snipped. Then everything was over. Time to put the wire and the colour rubber bands. He asked me to choose wat colour I want. Adviced to go for Grey if I don't want it so obvious. Don't know why hor, I decided to choose those obvious colours lah. I asked if I could mix colours? He said can. He recommended Lime Green & Royal Purple. Alrite! Put it on.
Eh... Not bad colour combination. Haha... Wait till next month. I'll try a different combination. The more obvious the better. Hahaha!

Bleahh... I can only do braces for my upper teeth at the moment. Cause my upper teeth will grind on the lower teeth's braces if they were fixed. So gotta wait bout 3 weeks before I do bottom set. Never mind... I shall wait and adjust to my new accessory.

Anyway, dentist say that at that moment, I won't experience any discomfort. But it may start at about 10pm onwards then last till the weekend. So I decided to try to psycho godma to go Fish & Co for dinner. Fish mah... Soft food, dentist say I can only eat soft food cut into small pieces and eaten slowly. Haha... Convinced, we went. Lalalaaaa~~
Took damn long to eat my fish. So long... I can't believe it. Haiz... Then when it came to my fries, I think the staff will probably think I'm weird. Why I'll cut off the ends then the rest eat. Ends harder mah... How to chew? Heck...

Suddenly hate eating. It seems so cumbersome.

On my way back, saw Ade's sms. liewwww!! I was halfway back. She asked if I wanted to meet her in town. So made my way back to meet her. Walk a bit. Then she got sweet tooth craving. So went to eat ice cream. I thought that maybe eating ice cream wouldn't be that bad. After all, it can melt right? Right! So I ordered a single scoop. She took some apple crumble with scoop of ice cream. By the time her ice cream melted in her tummy, apple crumbled already, I was still struggling to finish my ONE scoop of ice cream. It slipped my mind that ice cream is cold. Braces is metal. Metal conducts heat or cold. So, my teeth felt so freezing cold. Boo Hoo!

Suddenly hate eating even more. This cannot that cannot. Bahhh!
Go on liquid diet lah... At least I won't have to chew.

Still not experiencing any discomfort the dentist said I'll have. Wondering if I got high threshold of pain? Or maybe... I'm too thick skinned? Haha!

Regresa A Mi

This song, Regresa A Mi by Il Divo is damn nice!!! Although its a cover version of Toni Braxton's Unbreak My Heart, so they words are probably just translated. Ohh David Miller & Sebastien Izambard are damnnnn cuteeee! Not to mention, their have damn good vocals. Duhh!!! Check them out ya?

Anyway, I feel like going to borrow uncle's camera and wide angle lens. Reason being fireworks gonna be lighting up the skies very soon. So I wanna experiment with camera.

Last night, couldn't sleep so I was just surfing around. Came across some websites which kinda inspired me. Haha! So all of a sudden, I'm back in my crazy dilemma for my future. Haiz...

Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow. Gotta return to the dentist to remove the stitches. My face is still swollen. So hopefully after stitches removed, swelling will subside. Oh, then again, I'll find out if I need to remove yet another tooth or not. If everything goes well, I should be able to get my braces fixed.

After that, means no solid food for don't know how long again. Just now, I tried to eat solid food. So I try to gek kiang (act smart) ask daddy to da bao grilled fish & chips for me. I took almost 2 hours to finish just that lot of food. Not that the portion was huge. I can't freaking chew! I miss my teeth...
Teeth, they act as a barrier. Without my "barrier", my coleslaw was running all over the place. Blehhh... Pain!

Abstinence

Yesterday evening, met up with my friend-who-dumped-bf and friend-who-wanna-pierce-navel then went over to FEP so that friend-who-wanna-pierce-navel can become friend-who-pierced-navel. But friend-who-wanna-pierce-navel wanted moral support when she go and do it. So me and friend-who-dumped-bf agreed to go in to accompany her lend our hand for her to grab or squeeze till we turn white. Since the room quite small, the person only allowed one of us to go in. So either me or friend-who-dumped-bf. We scissors-paper-stone to see who gets to witness it disrupt blood circulation to hands/arms. Actually friend-who-dumped-bf won the priviledge to go in. But she decided to go toilet while they were sterilizing the equipments. I ended up going in instead *hissssss*. Videoed the process down on her camera phone. Lucky it was fast so the blood circulation to my arm wasn't disrupted for very long. Finally, she emerged with a new accessory.

Since friend-who-pierced-navel was meeting her friend, me & friend-who-dumped-bf proceeded for our own dinner. I could only drink soup lor... Sad case. But after that, I attempted to test my gums again. Went to buy bread so that I can slowly peel and bite. Then went to Paragon walk walk. I think I took more than 45 minutes to slowly peel and nibble that bread lor. Horrible right? After that I was leaving to meet up with Calvin & Sharon. Friend-who-dumped-bf decided to head home. But we crossed the road and *tadah!* friend-who-pierced-navel and her friend. So the 3 of them decided to go off together.

But thanks to that 45 minutes of slow chewing, I slowly got used to the pain when I smile laugh or talk.

Antibiotics = Alcohol Abstinence. So since I'm now on that drug, whole night not supposed to drink alcohol lor... Can only watch. *Bleahhh*

Anyway, Sharon was quite quiet lor. So we went 7-11 to get cheap booze for her first. Haha! Then headed over to Harry's Bar. I like the ambience. Nice. But the band was quite good lor. The lead singer very hyper. Music played after band finished was also good.
All I could drink was mocktail.
But ok lah...
Shirley Temple tastes quite nice.
Soury taste is a nice perk up. Haha
I like the colour.

They drank Bourbon coke.
I could only watch...

After that we decide to go to a club somewhere in MS. Hmm, can actually tell what kind of club it is based on the queue, the bouncers, dressing of the staff and the ambience right before you even step in. So what can I say, from the moment I got out of the cab, can tell that this place sure gonna have lots of lians and bengs. I've never been to a place which played techno songs. So far I only went to places which played other genres. . True enough... There were a whole lot of them, a congregation of lians and bengs, dancing to the techno songs, whenever the DJ lowers the music, it was like a cue for them to start shouting "tu too, tu too, kao pei lah" and of course other kinds of dialect phrases. Kinda feel out of place ya...?

Didn't really stay very long. But just wanted to make money worth lah. After that went to grab a drink then head home.

Still Puffy

After waking up past noon, the first thing to do was to go check on my puffy face. Has the swelling subsided? Has the pain gone away? Sad to say, the swelling and pain were still there.

Ended up chatting away my afternoon while waiting for time to meet the friend-who-dumped-bf friend (Refer to previous post).

Dad came home, then he saw me, suddenly said this, "wahh ger ar, why your face swollen???"
Oh mine gosh!!! I was so sad that I burst out crying, dropped whatever I was doing, ran to my room, slammed the door, *Piangggg!!!* (wasn't the sound of the door, but my heart shattering), dived onto my bed and wailed. Threw and smashed everything in my sight. I wanted it to suffer the same fate as my heart. I cut off all the heads of my soft toys which were made with them smiling. They seemed to me mocking me too. I even started to write hate mail to my dad. But I couldn't find the most hateful words, so I ripped the paper off the pad crushed it and just threw it at the heads of my headless soft toys.


Haha! No lah, KIDDING!!! Not so drama lah... Reason why it will never be so drama.
I will never burst out crying. If I cry, I rather cry silently.
I can't run to my room cause of the stitches and I'm not supposed to run.
My door is impossible to slam if my window is closed. So before I can slam, I still gotta walk to my windows to open it. Then I can get the pleasure of slamming the door.
My bed got all my cat, pooh bear and cushions, wanna dive also must move them aside first to ensure a safe landing. Troublesome ya???
I'm not so violent to throw and smash everything in sight lah... Think I'm stupid ar? My things don't come free hor, smashing it? Waste my money...
To cut off all the heads of my soft toys, I think I'll spend 1 whole day lah. I got 200 over lor...
I don't write hate mail. Such a cliche plot. Then what? I gotta act as postman or lady as well and post it under my dad's room door ar?
Anyway, I do NOT hate my daddy. I am not the type who will hate their parents. I appreciate them. I was just saying it as part of the lame story since it flows. Haha!!

The whole story above was pure drama-mama kinda fiction. The non-fiction scenerio...
Dad came home, then he saw me, suddenly said this, "wahh ger ar, why your face swollen???"
Me, "ya lor... the surgery mah... Then got stitches, so swollen lor."
Me mumbling as I walk away, "Wahh niao ehhh.... today is already the 4th day, now then you notice? Means past few days even worst but you dare not say ar?" Obviously my dad didn't hear me cause I was already out of the room.

Anyway, Xl damn bored in her office, asked me to call her just cause she wanted to hear me say the word 'instead' cause I told her I still can't adapt and I'm still saying the 's' with a hissy sound. But I didn't call lah. Hahaha! Free entertainment ar???

Then it was Hj's turn. Called me up and asked me bout something. Then also took the opportunity to ask me to say my name. Just cause my name got 2 's'. Maybe it would make it sound like a longer hiss?? True enough, it did. Damn it... I must start to control my speech.

Ended TV Marathon

My thursday evening spent watching the telly from 6.30pm till 11.30pm. Channel hopping around and basically, bumming around the couch.

Still find it hard to eat solid food today. So it was liquid diet for me. Until in the evening, I really just wanna bite something. So I went to bake some otah. Thought by leaving it in the oven, it will turn crispy. Ended up being hard and chewy. Darn... Shouldn't have left it so long. Had hard time chewing and it hurt. After that, bro was eating some biscuits in front of me. Again, I tried to test my gums. Took a piece of biscuit which was about 3 cm long and bout 0.5 cm thick.
Guess how long I took to eat that piece? Just that one piece only...
Believe it or not.
I took 10 minutes.
Yeh... 10 bloody minutes!
Amazing huh? But its a good way to savour the food. Nibbling it bit, by bit, by bit.

Supervisor called my hp at 12am. OMG! I didn't know so I went to pick up the phone. Was regarding my earlier sms to postpone the meeting on friday morning. I asked if can postpone to monday or not?
He, "isn't monday school holiday?"
Me, "Huh?? Is it? Ohh... I didn't know that."
He, "Of couse you won't know lah... To you everyday also holiday."
Me, "Ya lor... I never go check cause I'm not affected. So you available then?"
He, "Nope."
Me, "Tuesday leh??"
He, "Cannot. Got meeting."
Me, "Har... Then when?"
He, "How bout thurday? Got the graduation. I must attend, so why not you come in the morning?"
Me, "HAR!!! Don't want lah... Then like that friday I still must go?"
He, "No need lah."
Conversion goes on to decide what I gotta do and send to him via email.

Hmm... Actually I'm damn reluctant to go out. I even postpone my project meeting just because I got a puffy face from the injection which has yet to subside. I don't even want to step out of my house when Hj & Xl asked me to go orchard meet them in the evening when they knock off from work. I even told Lynn that only if my puffy face subsides will I meet her on Sunday to go out. See, I even plan till Sunday lor.

But, its times when my friend, breaks off with a boyfriend, where I shall disregard my puffy face and agree to go out with her tomorrow evening. I don't know if I should be happy or sad for her. Ok... Sad that its a heartache for her to endure. But, happy cause she is no longer with someone who doesn't appreciate her for who she is and what she does. Someone who just takes her for granted. Happy also cause she is now free to go out with whoever she wants, whenever she wants. Wow... More reasons to be happy then sad huh? Haha! Ohh well, thats from mine point of view. But I do hope she is not so sad and will take things in stride.
Nevertheless, whether she is happy or sad, whether I'm puffy faced or not, I shall still meet up with her tomorrow.

That's what friends are for right? *wink*

Unless if she has other last minute plans and decides to cancel the outing, then, I'll probably stay home and rest my yet-to-subside-puffy-face. =(


Yes, talking about friends, my bitching buddy is exploiting me to do research and spell check for some report. Reason quoted when asking me to help, "Cause you're my friend mah." "We're friends right?" "Friends hor! Friends!!!" "Friends should help each other."
Yaya... Ok... Though I'm not from that field of studies, I still helped with some research and went through the 14 page report.

Puffer Fish

Awaken by daddy early in the morning at 0930. Helped him do some stuff cause it was pretty urgent. But after I was done and no matter how crazy or got urge, I cannot go running. Cannot, cannot! *Shakes head and wags fingers*

Although dentist only said that yesterday cannot run or swim, but I shall extend the ban for myself. I don't wanna risk blood splurting out suddenly. Or run, run, run, suddenly stop and my whole mouth is filled with blood overflowing and I stand looking helpless and kpo bystanders will just see but don't help kind of scenerio.
Very hollywood style hor? Hee hee hee

So I was online for awhile then I decided to go buy my liquid food supplement. I don't wanna starve. Since its only sold in an office building somewhere in Somerset, I had to make my way there, buy it then head home in less than 2 hours. First time in my life, I just spent so little time in that stretch of Orchard road. But while I was there, I was so damn tempted to eat solid food lor. But I tried to refrain.

At night leh... There was a pau sitting in the fridge. No one was at home and I decided to eat it lor. I also wanted to try if I can take solid food or not. But since the pau was quite small, I was still hungry. Went to soak biscuits in milk like some toothless granny would do.

Conclusion? I should remain on liquid food for the time being. Cause it kinda hurt to eat the pau even though I peeled it to damn small bits. It also kinda hurt when I tried to eat the soggy biscuits. My gums still not ready to eat solid food stuff no matter how small or soggy it is.
But as a consolation for me, to make me more determined to stick to my liquid food, is that I can lose weight. Haha!! I lost 1kg just within a day. Water loss or whatever, its a good ego boost.
Lalaalaaa...

Ohh ya... My face is quite puffy cause of the injection. Machiam puffer fish. Evil Hj still wanted me to take a picture of my puffed up face and send to her for her viewing pleasure. Kana sai...!

I also try not to talk so much cause the part which has the stitches still feel a bit suan. Then when I speak, my words also sound a bit lao hong. Haha! I can't pronounce the word 'inside' properly. The 's' in 'inside' just sounds hissy.

Me A Vampire?

Hmm, I'm back from the dentist. Today supposed to be first consultation only. But I think the dentist was free. So after taking the xray, he explained to me stuff. Asked me if I wanna do my tooth extraction today or next visit. If I wanted, I can extract all 3 today, or 1 today 2 next week or 2 today 1 next week.

So I was thinking, if my gums and mouth all gotta be numb, why not just pull all 3 today. So I got injected with the anesthetia and I started to get all numb. Then he wanted to take pictures of my teeth. Asked me to smile. I was like, "huh... how to smile? Numb already lah." But anyway, I think I'll probably look quite spastic.

Supposed to extract 3. First one came out quite well after a few tugs and pulls. Second one was slightly more deep rooted. Third one was the worst. It was so stubborn and the roots were like growing in different direction that it was impossible to pull it out. So, part of the root had to be broken. After that the taking out of the root was just a process which just seemed to go on forever. Because it was stuck, the process soon became a surgery and I think my gums had to be cut in order to get it out. I ended up with some stitches. Had to take some pain killers and antibiotic. Imagine having to swallow pills with a numb mouth. Couldn't feel anything but all I could taste was blood.
My own blood!
I became a vamp.
Vampire!

I walked out of the room and godma thought I cried. NO... I didn't cry. Its just a bit of swelling and the gauze in my mouth which made me look like my lips got punched out of shaped.

My lunch was basically blood mixed in saliva. Haha! Ewww.... Gross. But yep, I couldn't eat lah! What to do? I could only sit there and watch godma eat. Of course I had to use tissue and cover my mouth lah. I wanted to shop somemore. But godma said I should head home instead. Said I was crazy to do 3 extractions and still wanna shop. After all, I was instructed by my dentist not to do any strenuous exercise or movements like running or swimming.

Now, I'm just gonna wait for the pain killers to wear off. Then see how pain it is. Any regrets for my decision? Erm... Nope! No pain no gain right?

Who Says No Money No Fun?

As I expected. Yesterday was a long and tiring day. BUT, it was fun and it didn't really cost much. Heh heh!! *Oooo... The cheap thrills of life.*

Well, met up for lunch with Py & Ym nearby. Plans to go for steamboat tonight was cancelled cause Ym not feeling well. Not on form. After 2 hours, I realised that I forgot to bring my Ez-Link card. So I decided to walk back home and take it. Met up with Cf and off we went to shop.

1st stop, Hereen. Py die die also wanna go there cause she needs to cut watch strap and buy water bottle. That was done, we walked to our 2nd stop, Taka. Ym die die also wanna go there cause she got voucher to use.

We spent don't know how long shopping in just one department. Finding stuff for Ym to use her voucher on. Then the 3 of them keep on trying and trying while I just didn't try any.

Finally after she used her voucher, we went up to see sports stuff.
Again, Cf & Py wanted to try stuff cause it was cheap. They die die also want me to grab something and accompany them to try. I didn't want to. But since 2 against 1, they win and they anyhow help me pick something to go try.

Me, being me, don't wanna just try any cheap cheap thing for nothing lor. After all I know I won't buy, so might as well make my time and effort more worth it by trying something more ex. I don't wanna try the $9.00 top which they took. Instead, I went to grab this halter top which cost a whopping $189.00 to try. Haha... Wahh lieowww ehhhh!!! Its nice lah! Although I was tempted to buy, but then, must remember that I don't want to be broke at the start of the month only.

After that, we went to try more tops, again, I'm tempted to buy. But never lor. Try NIKE shoe, also tempted to buy, on offer lor. But never buy. Can see, can touch, can try, but cannot buy. Just try for fun only. Haha!

We shopped so much that we forgot the time. We were supposed to meet up with Sw who was waiting to go eat dinner. Yeh, I finally got to eat Crystal Jade. After dinner, we didn't really know where to go. So I suggested that why not we head over to ChinaBlack since its free entry. We were not really appropriately dressed cause our intention was to go for steamboat where it would be hot. But we still went ahead to CB.

Hmm... We went so early that it was so empty. But we didn't intend to stay till very late also lah. So left at a timing which was considered pretty early for a night of clubbing but pretty late for a day of shopping.

Tired but fun.


Today woke up so early to go to church. I didn't want to wake up. Felt lazy to go. I just wanted to sleep away my morning in my cosy bed. But, no... daddy had to drag me up. Shoo me off so that I won't go back to sleep.
Lack of sleep = me being quite stoned. Zzz...
I need sleep... Sleeepppppp...

New Month Not So New Blog

Well, I suddenly got the urge for a new blog site. BUT, since I'm lazy to edit a new skin, I shall just use back. I also know it is very troublesome to shift blog address, cause you got to give people the URL again. So I shall spare my friends the trouble. Haha! I shifted my previous blog to another URL instead.

No particular reason why I wanna shift blog. Perhaps its just my hand itchy and brain overworking tonight. I can't sleep at 3.45am. Nobody is still online at this twilight hour to chat with me.

Ok... I shall end off now, then try to sleep. Long day ahead, I'm anticipating it to be a tiring one too.

Eating Comfort Food Is Bliss

Yesterday was one of those days where you got so many things to do that you just don't know where to begin. I didn't know my aim, lost focus. Pretty much gave myself stress. Stress till I ate at intervals of 2 hours. Was trying the break your meals into smaller portions and eat at shorter interval theory. I was seeking solace in food. But, I still had my self control lah. I just ate more fruits, split my meals and all that just so as to keep myself sane from the stress.

Blame it on FYP. I hate it. I don't know what the hell I'm supposed to do. Always last minute then got the concentration to do. Bad! Very bad. I should be more consistent. Ok... I shall try.

I only had 4 hours of sleep before I had to wake up and get ready to meet my supervisor.

Today was one of those days where you just heck the calories from unhealty kind of food just to satisfy some craving. I had craving for kaya toast. So went to toast my bread, cut up some butter (instead of margarine. heh heh) and spread the kaya on thick thick. One word to describe, SHIOK!

Took a cab down. Maybe I'm used to travelling by public transport where they move slowly. Or I have been staying home too much that suddenly I feel that travelling at 100km/h was pretty thrilling. But thrill turns into fear when the driver hits 120km/h and swerving left to right, cutting from lane 1 to lane 3 in a matter of seconds. To make matters worst, he was tailgating other vehicles, especially motocyclist. At 120km/h, tailgating is a very very bad idea. Although I like thrilling experiences just to get that adrenaline rush, I do not like to do it at the expense of my safety.

Meeting went on ok.
Supervisor, "aiyo... What happened to you last week?"
Me, "Ohh... err... eat those food then sick lor."
Supervisor, "Ohh... Food poisoning ar?"
Me, "Erm... ya. Ya!" *Smiles innocently*
Anyway, I gotta buck up. Though I'm not really behind time, but I need to learn stuff before proceeding.

As I said, today is one of those heck the calories kind of day. So I happily indulged in KFC. Or maybe its not that kind of days. Its the kind where I know I won't be able to eat solid food soon. Cause going to visit the dentist next tuesday. A third sad, a third happy, a third excited. Haha! I'll probably have to stick to a liquid kind of diet for quite some time. So meantime, must satisfy food cravings else... it will be painful to eat solid stuff. Duhh!

I had to catch up on my sleep. 4 hours is not enough! So now after sleeping, I'm recharged and I'm happy too!
1) Happy cause I satisfied 2 food cravings today.
2) Happy cause its the weekends where more people are free and can go out.
3) Happy cause its the start of the new month, where I'll get my allowance.
4) Happy cause my $50 NIKE voucher has arrived.
Hahaha!!!~ Yeh Yey Yeh!
