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!!

Happy Easter!

Busy Easter weekend! Got my screening report from the doctors on Thursday, I have to cut down on sugars, oily food and carbs.... uhoh, nothing about the lumps so i'm grateful. Marc Jacobs bag arrived in the evening, woohoo!   Good Friday was spent in Church and shopping at Sim Lim Square for Hao-e's new PC. Pilates on Saturday morning after a week's break, super out of shape.  think i should probably start doing some exercises at home and maybe go for swim downstairs when i get a chance. Chewy had a good scrubbing session at noon then off to watch Le Noir at Sands Theatre on Saturday afternoon, fun! Cousin-in-law's wedding dinner at Conrad on Saturday evening, no shark's fin which was a bummer. Easter mass on Sunday morning followed by Qingming thingamie at Mt Vernon. Sunday brunch at York Hotel's Penang Hawker Buffet, yum! Watched 1.5 movies too - GI Joe (meh) and SVFV (vulgar).  SVFV was the movie that  was banned and made the h...

The Tudors

I just realised how good looking Jonathon Rhys Meyers is? Gosh, i just love his chiseled face and beautiful eyes. Anyway, so i chanced upon this new series loosely based on THE Henry VIII, second king of the Tudor Dynasty. You guys should watch it if you are as besotted with him and as fascinated with anything royal as i am. hehe.... So i went to find out a bit more about the rather infamous king on wiki and here's some trivia about his eventful life ( i bet, with so many women around him?!) Technically, Henry was only married twice. Four of his marriages were annulled which means they never took place. His court jester was named Will Somers . The only surviving piece of clothing worn by Henry VIII is a cap of maintenance , awarded to the Mayor of Waterford , along with a bearing sword, in 1536 . It currently resides in the Waterford Museum of Treasures . Henry VIII was the first member of the English Royal Family to wear silk stockings.
it's funny how you learn things about yourself - your likes and dislikes - every single day. here's a list of dislikes: eager beavers people who fake an accent people who talk more than they do people who claim credit when they've done nothing (oh! old debts) back-stabbers gossipers (is there such a word?) that stir up trouble like there ain't enough of that already?! inconsiderate people .... more to come, i just know it is it too much to ask to have decent people around? there's a chinese saying, that even on the same hand the fingers are of different lengths. but is it really impossible to have everyone cross a certain threshold of decency and not stick out like a sore thumb? i've often wondered why some 40 year olds act the way they do - as if they hate the whole world. i think i'm in danger of being that sort of 40 year old as the list gets longer, and i meet more obnoxious people. argh.
