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!!

Jay Chou

Blasting Jay Chou into my ears with my broken ear-phones.. hee. I still love him so much! one of those singers whose songs cause my body to move and groove to the rhythm. just feel like dancing. my interest in mr chou waned though in recent months due to his new gf. i mean she's an improvement over jolin but i still think she's a bit ah... how shall i put it, not very nice. somehow i feel she's mean. not as guai and angelic as she looks. still have a soft spot for ppl who are nice. why can't ppl be nice? i'm trying to be nice. (my new mantra - " Be nice ") haha. i mean people who know me from before know i'm quite harsh and critical and unforgiving. so nice has got be a NEW mantra for me. Next thing you know, i'll be meditating in a nunnery atop a mountain with a thousand steps cut into it. every morning i'll be climbing down those steps to fetch a pail of water... and jack and i will fall down the hill with the pail and all... yikes, ...

Shujun's Birthday!!

Seems like yesterday when the new year 2005 started.. now it's May, and we've celebrated Beek's, Lihui's and Wanping's birthdays. Time seems to be passing too fast for birthdays for i refuse to admit that i'm older [again], yet it passes too slowly when i'm sad or down. Ah well, life isn't a box a chocolates. nor a piece of cake. it's full of cakes! birthday cakes especially. in 2 days, one of my best mates will be turning 24. it's been more than a decade, us knowing each other from sec sch days. haha! I just want you to know that you'll always going to be my lap cheong. my very cute friend who can sing "one night in Beijing" in both guy and gal's voices and break the record too! my ultra loyal friend who stuck by me all these years, listening to my whining and complaints. i have a lot of respect for ppl who can stand my nonsense, cos well, i'm not an easy person to like.. ask my buddies they'll tell you. [better still, ...
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.
