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!!
