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...

dinner at swizzle inn

last night we had a most scrumptious bbq dinner at the original swizzle inn . much much much better than the dinner we had some days back with O and K at the branch in warwick. woo.... i had the char-grilled prime rib and the much famed rum swizzle, while hao-e had the margarita shrimp and strawberry daiquiri. blogging about it brings back nice memories. heh. Oh! C and i found some fresh watercress at the marketplace yesterday. so today's lunch we had watercress soup. i've been yearning for some light clear vegetable soup for some time... especially after a discussion with HL about the lack of vege variety here, and how she spotted kailan on the island! KAILAN !!! how did they manage to get their hands on kailan ?! i was joking with HL that one of the chefs must have secretly brought over some seeds and planted some in his back garden. or else why doesn't kailan appear in the vege aisle of the marketplace as well?! oh, and i bought some canned longan, jackfrui...

Forgive and Forget

it's been a long time since i've written anything of a serious nature. i try to keep this blog lighthearted but some things have been bugging me lately and i need to ventilate and detox myself. so please bear with me as i spurt and sputter some bad blood. one, because of man A's negligence, my start date has been delayed till further notice. was rather upset about it, not because i was looking forward to what i thought i was about to do, but because once again, my plans have been thwarted by things and people beyond my control. i should have been able to start in july had hao-e's permanent work permit been granted right after his first temporary work permit lapsed. BUT, it didn't happen that way cos hao-e had to settle for a second temporary work permit as they tried to sort out his permanent one. now, with this delay, i'm not sure when i can begin contributing to the "save stella" fund. [C was really cute today as i told her the amount that i ...
