Date's set

Went to ndc this afternoon. saw a dentist pretty quickly which was surprising. they had cubicles these dentists, no proper rooms just 1 m tall partitions so you could stand and stare at the person lying on the next chair with his jaw crack open. so unglam!

anyways, dentist tried to dissuade me from having all 4 teeth out at one go, saying there's a risk i won't wake up!! (1 in 10k - 20k chance) he had to remind me too that my lower jaw could be permanently numb after the operation since my lower teeth are really close to my nerves. (1 in 100 chance apparently) what does that feel like? stoopid question, cos if my jaw is numb i won't be able to feel a thing.

so the date is set. 16 jun 10am i'll be wheeled in for a day surgery. hopefully i'll wake up and feel a lot of pain in my lower jaw then i'm sure i'm not that 1 in 10k or something.

Listening to SHE's re dai yu ling (rainforest in mandarin btw). realised i missed my good old frens from stanford. we used to go karaoke quite often near the end of the year. rem driving down to this place south (can't rem where) and there was this cute korean-looking receptionist. Else we'll be at the karaoke joint near Berkeley which is quite a long drive away, up to SF and beyond. enjoyed those rides in the car best cos you can see the sea along the way and you get to drive along bridges while yakking non-stop in the car. it was damn fun. i rem getting upset once when this guy totally destroyed a jay chou song i liked. i nearly squashed him like a cockroach there and then. tell you more about this guy some other time. he's really one kind.

another memorable occasion when the boys started singing liu xing yu (meteor rain). 4 boys to be exact, none looking anything like the original boy-band F4 of course, but all sounding infinitely better. they followed the moves in the mtv as well!! it was hilarious!

btw, there were 2 other girls i used to hang out with quite a lot, and we were referred to as SHE or EEE (Ella Ella Ella) cos we only liked Ella of the 3 girls. haha... but those 2 girls have all flown off to find their own futures. the only Stanford fren i still keep in touch with is jianyun. very fun-loving and pragmatic girl with a mind of her own. she's darn cute.

yeps it was a short 9 months stint but a very fun one, cos it was the last year abroad for all of us, so we were just enjoying every min of it... how i wish we were back in the states, enjoying the sunshine, riding about campus on bicycles and having meals at tressidor. haha... food aint that great, but it was fun anyway. oh para-paradise!!

Back To Reality

It's over! We're finally married (in the eyes of the Church!). It was really pretty fun last sat, thank God for the sunny weather (a bit hot lah, but at least it didn't rain till after), for the wonderful guests and my fantastic friends. hope it wasn't too uncomfortable under the sun for everyone.

Back Safe and Sound

This is my first post since we left Bermuda for Singapore more than 3 weeks ago. We are battling serious jet lag this time. it might be the age-factor (yikes!) or because we didn't rest properly on the flights (yes plural!) back cos we were busy trying to exhaust all the new movies on krisworld, or maybe a combination of both lah. but both of us have been trying very hard to keep awake at 3pm. yes, the sleep monster strikes at that hour! thank God we are going to remove time saving tonight, so we have 1 less hour to correct this weekend. talking about movies, twilight was amazingly easy on the eye! although i hesitate to call ourselves twilight converts given that i was highly skeptical at first. but the eye candy in the form of Rob Pattersin/Edward Cullen is really irresistible (did you know Rob Pattersin was Cedric in Harry Potter??) .... argh. i wanna get bitten by this vamp too lor! BITE ME! Hao-e even bought New Moon (the sequal) to read this weekend and i spent almost ...

IT JUST DOESN'T FEEL LIKE CHINESE NEW YEAR!

As I learn about everyone's plans to welcome the Golden Tiger Year, the more unhappy I become.  Although it was a conscious effort on our part to avoid being home for the Lunar New Year, I cannot help but feel left out during this all-important holiday. On this island, we have all but 1 so-called Chinese restaurant.  Every year, they would put up the red banner a few weeks before CNY. One red banner compared to the numerous ones back home.  How pathetic eh? There is no atmosphere whatsoever. With the "influx" of Chinese kids, 4 in total plus 1 soon-to-be-born, I made myself pack some red envelopes from home, so that the kids can experience a little of the festivities that I am so used to.   WHAT IS CHINESE NEW YEAR WITHOUT THE RED PACKETS? This year, we've upgraded our celebration to include mahjong!  yes, the mahjong set and table arrived last weekend.  hao-e couldn't stop himself from ripping the plastic cover off those ivory -coloured tiles and we ...
