Post-op

okie. the very worst days of my life is over.
*ahem* at least in 2005.
*ahem* other than that grueling A levels.

The 1st 2 days were HORRIBLE. I couldnt talk. There was lots bleeding still, leftover from the op. My right hand was wrapped to measure blood pressure, there was drip on my left hand.
Basically, i was paralysed.
And i was giddy from the anesthetic effect. Sleep then awaken. Sleep then awaken. Sleep then awaken. oh wells. u get the idea.
And my face is SUPRE swollen. Like a pig. Hmm. But i prefer to call myself "swollen like tomato". [anw since im a tO-mAn-tO =p]

Only stayed for 4 days. Not 5 days like Christina. So i went home on Christmas morning. In fact, the docs actually said i could be discharged on sat afternoon. But i was just off the drip, so my mom thought it's best i stayed for a while more...

hmm, tt dr y ar... done my op then went off for holiday already. gosh! wad a RESPONSIBLE man eh??

Deeply appreciate the fact that my cedar mommy&daddy (Van! Kim!) [came on fri aftnn], my cedar zhu ren (lou!) [came on sat noon] & elton [came on sat aftnn] visited!
Am surprised they could stand my ugly looks (smth i would be afraid to c) & understood my murmurings.
VERY TOUCHED BY YOU GUYS!! =)

very touched by my mom too. Who was there with me all the while. And when she came home, it was to wash the army clothes my gor just brought home. She didnt even rest!
I really feel so bad, so bad.
THANKS MOM!

upper jaw, here we go!

hmm, thanks to all those who wished me luck. =)
cant say im not worried. But christina assured me that dr yeow's gonna do his magic on me... so let's hope he's fully charged tmr! =D

til i-dunno-when, we shall meet again! :)

Operating in 5, 4, 3, 2, ONE

Thanks lots, Dr Lee! :)

Hmm. Wont make it in time to come back for Xmas.
So here & now i wish all of you (those who come & read at least)
MERRY CHRISTMAS & A HAPPY NEW YEAR! =)

历史考试前夕

词曲唱：梁文福

如果秦始皇烧书都烧完，我不必读到三点半。
如果周公真的忙着治天下，何必不断催我入梦乡。
三吕大夫不投汨罗江，卖粽子老王生活怎么办。
如果楚霸王当年不到乌江，隔壁班刘邦不会这么嚣张。

西施不琬纱昭君不和番，现代古典美人做何打算。
如果刘备哭不出诸葛亮，会不会闹出一阵剧本荒。
只看过薛丁山偏要考安禄山，知道冯宝宝她演过杨玉环。
若非十二金牌将岳飞来调返，今天还吃不吃到油条香。

我吃过月饼当然知道朱元璋，吃榴连知道郑和下西洋。
胡金铨的戏里听过东西厂，看金庸小说知道袁崇焕。
只叹林则徐烧鸦片烧不完，西太后偏偏相信议和团。
珍妃不该嫁给那个光绪王，几千年等到一个孙中山。

万里长城长没有历史长，考试题目比那丝绸还弯。
五胡乱华乱我的脑筋更乱，心情比那个八过联军慌。
多少年的改变已经很习惯，多少次革命总是革不完。
谢天谢地近代史老师讲不完，下一代历史考试不敢想象。

Whee! Went out with merle, qiao yun today. too bad pei ching working... but nvm. We got to visit her!! :)

Went to kbox @ marina sq after that. First time there. So didnt noe alot of things. Like you have to have at least one kbox member to go in. Like you have to buy the 2 snacks. (@ $5 each!! pls lah. i can get $1/pkt @ntuc with triple the amount lor! :/) Like you can actually eject the ads. (suay ar... qy went so many times nv c ads one lor.. we keep getting this stoopid car ad. then aft I complained. e person said we can eject de... =( boos. kena cheated dunno how many mins le..)

BUT we got to sing from 3.15-7.15pm although we were scheduled for a 3-hour session. hAhAz... cos no1 came to chase us. Until 7++ lah... was singing 五月天 《知足》. then we thought the tv will shut down after that. Who knows it continued playing. So i [cos 2 of them dunno :( ] sang 《恋爱-ing》!! AGAIN! (I sang it earlier le. Cos by 6++ we qt sian liao.. start to choose songs we've already sung) Realised that song super nice to 飚 lor! it'l be so damn high if we can all sing together! but too bad they dunno.... sigh. MAYDAY rocks!
oh, 梁文福 《历史考试前夕》 also very nice song. Of cos we dunno how to sing lah. But cos we've heard it b4 & know it's a nice&funny song, so played it to hear... haha...

Ay, but something v malu happened!! -_-"' i wanted to dance mah... so i danced while they sing lor. Who knows, qy go 偷拍 me lerhz!! stoopid cloud! hmphs. better dun let anyone see that video ar!!!??! OR ELSE.

hmm, kbox quite ex lah. tt time lynnette bought us to this ulu ulu karaoke @ singpore river cheaper. hAhAz.. ay, but i still think karaoke is a waste of $$. Hmm... maybe not gonna go again?? My house's bathroom better. At least it's free. And i think i sound better in there too. haha.

Operating 5, 4, THREE

Hmms. Did nothing much today. Except writing Xmas cards. Man, it's not as easy as it looks kaez! i could only write for 10 ppl. didnt finish 5. Oh, i shared those cards with Dolly cos i thought 30 would be too much. In the end, i gotta "ballot" to see who's getting my cards... Haha.. so those lucky fews, be grateful kaez! :)
this yr did smth more special. I even took the effort to look for stickers to paste k! hAhAz...

hmm. then there was planning for the outing tmr. Supposed to be done by merle lor! in e end, i was the one doing the job. All cos pc reply my sms instead. (hmm. i shld be honoured. pc didnt bother to reply merle leh!! =D hAhAz... 幸灾乐祸)
HAIZ. I hate organising outings. Esp when people give me the feeling that they actually dun give a damn to the outings (which i always so look forward to) esp so this time.

dunno when will i get to go out again.

Operating in 5, FOUR...

Whoopie! Went out with Dolly today. Went to bugis & the bugis village opposite. Did lots walking, did lots window-shopping. There was this stall that were selling earrings "2 for $2". I bought 2 & Dolly bought six. haha...
hmm, it's easy to rmb when i pierced mine on Valentine's Day last year. Nah, no one gave me earrings that day... keke... it's just that nj road run was on that saturday last yr. So after lunch @ turf city with yang hong & bert, me & lusi went orchard to get my ears pierced. :) yea, we stinked the whole orchard!! hAhAz....

Tired we were, but satisfied. Cos it's been sUpEr long (since p5/6?!) we've been out! Glad tt there wasnt any leng chang. otherwise abit awkard. but nopez! we had a great time chatting & hearing updates of each other! :)
hoping to go out with her again soOn! ay, but i think i'd only be able to step out of house earliest nxt feb?! sigh. guys, ask me out then... or can come online to pei me chat chat... hee...

met the little sister of my ex-guides PL & her mom in the lift when i came back.
The gal asked her mom very innocently “为什么有人的嘴巴长得这样的？” and then laughs.
I pretended not to hear, so as to hear what did the mom say. Thou i nv hear anything.
Then i begin to ponder. What do i really want to hear??

oh, did i mention in my last post (i didnt rite?! lol!) that last tue, 2 policemen came my house?! :O no lah, nv do anything wrong. they were just doing some residence updates. My mom said maybe cos nowadays too many murders, too many crimes liao... so they wanna make sure the owner is still living in the house & not rent it illegally or smth...
well, we are not that rich. Only have one house. Dun live here, live where?! haha....

OOoohhh... caught the charity show too. 吴克群 can sing live really really well! i mean, the rest of the oversea artists 对嘴的 lor!

Operating in FIVE...

okay.. this week has been lots of visits to the doc & dentist, and meeting up with friends before i lose the chance to do so after my operation, and feeling a sense of achievement cos i've tidied my whole room!! :) [*ahem* a huge achievement for someone as lazy as me!]

Went to dentist on mon & tue. On mon, before seeing Dr Lee, the nurse took my x-rays & photos. Hmm. Hope i can see drastic improvement after the whole course! :) Dr Lee stuck some fish-hooks-alike stuff @ my braces. Then in the end, almost instantly, my gums were scratched by those stuff, resulting in a mouth full of ulcers. OUCH!
On tue, it was basically quite a pointless trip. I waited for roughly 15min (cos i reached early) only to see her for the same amount of time! lolx. thou i ought to be thankful. Cos the nurse told me that it's cos my case is a straight-forward case. I supposed it means there isnt much rotating, much measurements to take care of when moving my upper jaw forward. So yups, although it was a pretty short trip, im not grumbling about the wasted trip! (okie, at lst not tt much~ :P)
Ooh, after that, i went to see mommy at work @taka! [not my real mom lah. my Van-mama. hee...]. Waited for her for half-hour til she can take her 1hour break. She's lucky lor. gotta find a dec hol job. $7/hr summore. nOt bAd at all!! summore only 4 days/wk. But must stand 8hrs throughout lah... & apparently, e supervisor of taka is very strict too...

Went to SGH for my anesthetic review on thur morning. Haizz... just this trip there wasted my dad $4.50 for ERP!!?! gosh. didnt noe it's gonna be so ex lor. if not, i'd rather take bus... lolx. but my mom is tai-tai lah. Sure want my dad to drive her around de. (oops. =x sorry mom. didnt mean to bad-mouth about u! but it's fact leh... hehe...) Took blood test, height&weight. SIGH. finally let my mom noe my weight (smth i've been hiding from her) le! hahaha....
After that, we went to Rama Thai for lunch, an early celebration to my mom's bday cos i wun get to eat any decent (in my opinion) food anytime soon. [no CNY goodies nxt yr le!! =(] gor didnt wanna come along. too bad lor. HIS loss. hAhAz.. e meal was quite ex. $188!! cos shark fin is $28/pax?! for it was worth every cent. For the first time in my life, i was sick of shark fin! i had so much in my bowl lor. Even my mom says that mine seems much more. haha. the cook likes us! (tt's why extra ingredient at our table) the waiter likes me! (tt's why my bowl has the extra fins). keke. The prawn cakes were delicious! But the pineapple rice & crab bee hoon not that nice. Hmm. Anw, my mom 用心良苦 la. Cos she wanna me have enough good food before i go for the op. :)
*feel guilty now. to think i just bad-mouthed her!! =s

Met up with Michelle for Sakae Sushi Buffet on fri. YUMMY YUMMY! =) broke new record. 14.5 plates. could have eat more cos not thAt full. wanted to have one more chawanmushi (i Luuurrrve the chawanmushi @ sakae!!!) Surprisingly not as full as last time. Hmm. Guess the trick is to walk around abit. keke. OH. and this time, our dessert is not the yucky ice-cream cake. (heng ar!) but BUDS ICE CREAM! :) had my all-time fav -- green tea! i love japanese green tea! 名副其实的甘. dere's this bit of bitterness plus lots of sweetness. Really nice! (But michelle dun like leh.. she tried abit of mine & said she dun like...)
oh! we saw olinda when we were at borders. she looks quite shiong/dao... =s

Tidied my room too. Spent a whole week on that! gosh. On-&-off lah. With times going out in btw... But it's not alot actually. Cos i cleared my WHOLE room. Being a garang-guni (my whole family calls me that! >.<), i have tonnes of stuff. Even "persuaded" myself to throw away lots stuff this time round. yeah! feel a HUGE sense of pride now.
So aft my op, even if anyone comes for surprise visit, i wun be embarrassed! lolx. thou so far only christine wanna visit me. ask her go hospital thou. hahaz...

yeah... looking forward to tmr... meeting Dolly! yay! after like, SIX years?! no lah. tink i went her house in sec2. But still, so long nv meet liao.. hmm... hope we can still be as chatty with each other!

responding!

heh. quite happy that got ppl ask me to update! lolx. means im having some readers around.. thought this blog only got me & myself as the sole reader =pPp
*juz KPO, why ur nick got "g" ar, ah bing?? =D

anw, there has been no updates partly cos i dun get to use the comp. Gor has been sick!! so he's on medical leave & stayed at home! and this means he is stuck in his room, hogging to the comp. ugh. as much as i worry for him (he seems to get sick quite frequently), i yearn for the comp too!! hAhAz...

anw, i've switched the dates for the previous posts so that they cover the events on that day. heh. easier for me to rmb oso...

hmm.. life's pretty boring though busy. Have been in & out of the house, but no date yet! =( oh no, wait. gonna meet dolly (my long-time-no-see pri best friend!) this sun & michelle on fri for SAKAE SUSHI BUFFET!! yeah!! =) gotta savour all those good food by next thur. otherwise, god knows how long i cannot chew on these food after my op!! (oh, so far, elton's e only one who noe what's "op"... hAhAz... & to think that i ve always thought "op" is the short form for operation!)

My da jie (bert), my ga (junwen) & jinhin have reported to ns liao... hmm... hope they gonna take care... endure guys! jia you! =) & ga: im still waiting for ya prezzie from malacca! :P

JPU First Outing =)

After the failed attempt at the J1L outing i tried to organise last yr, i was actually quite demoralised to organise another jap class outing... But ay, wanwei (my ex-nj junior) had to sms me to tell me that ono sensei has ended her contract with moelc. As i figured this is probably the last chance for us to meet with sensei, so i tried contacting the jpu ppl i still have contact with.
hmm.. thanks to ronnie who emailed me the class contact list! (which was complied but nv passed down!)

I told myself that i would be satisfied with just 5 (out of a class of about 35 students) turning up. So long i dun have to be face-to-face with sensei throughout, it was okay. In the end, FOURTEEN students + sensei went for the outing!! You can described me feeling triple the happiness!! :)
THANK YOU JPU-ians! for not pang-seh-ing me!! =)

We met at somerset cos i was thinking of going to eat at either heeren or cine. In the end, chuan zhi suggested wheelock place. So we walked all the way from somerset to orchard! If only we knew, we would have met at orchard lah!! hee... but then again, the organiser (me!) had planned to eat near somerset lor... anyways, if not for the walk, my joke about e green man (there are four marching soldiers in four different colours at the cross junctions at heeren for xmas deco) wouldnt have popped up. BUT no one appreciated my jokes throughout the night!! ='( SO SAD! maybe my coldness cant beat the winter in december... sigh...

Well, the outing was pretty simple lah. Just a dinner at Big O. But it was simple yet pleasant to meet everyone (Ronnie, Chuan Zhi, Sheryl, Lee Han, Pamela, Josephine, Ivan, Nick, Starion, Zhiqi [the male one], hong zhou, sik hin, Boon Xin [aka mollie!], AND ono sensei)... Hope that this wont be the first-and-final outing.

Hunter for the day

hah. super tired today. went to sooo many places... hmm...

WAS SUPPOSED to meet pc & merle @ raffles place @ 11.30am. Being my usual self, i arrived @ 11.15am. JUST slightly on time, thinking that it's alright to wait 15min for them. God knows (or rather im just stoopid not to know/learn) that BOTH of them were late. Merle reached @ about 12NOON, and pc? TWELVE THIRTY. I was DAMN P*SSED OFF lah. hello? i took the effort to be early, cant you all show the least respect to me by being ON TIME. Maybe it's cos of my stupidity. Having known pc for so long, i should have already learnt it rite?? Or maybe it's cos of my kindess, thinking that she has changed for the better. NO. in fact, merle joined her. =(

to look on the bright side, perhaps i should be happy that i was UPSET enough to write another song. hm. but still need some polishing. So not ready to post it yet. heh.

Anw, when i FINALLY get to meet them, we went to SAKAE (pls pronouce as sa-ka-e!!) main office @ OUB Building (think tt's e name). Pc's fren told her sakae is mass-hiring ppl. Those who went on the first day (yesterday) were all hired. So we decided to try our luck. As it turned out, the interview is at TWO. -_-"" which was one hour more to go. & merle had another appt with the job agency @ taka @ 3.30pm. So we went back to the mrt to decide. Luckily pc brought tt day's recruits. so we looked thru it. In e end, i found a telemarkt job holding an interview nearby & decided to go see-see while two of them decided to depart for orchard.

quite scary to go job-hunting on ur own. Especially around places where there are those old, ancient shophouses & full of bars & pubs. =s luckily when i was pondering whether anot to go up, i met 2 malay gals. could c tt they were there for tt job too, so i asked them.
This is weird lor. When we called, they asked us to go to this particular place, but when we reached tt place, there was this guy who asked us to go OppOsiTe & unlock the door (u noe those ancient shophouses have door leading to e 2nd floor) by pressing C or wadever button. "Dont press wrongly" he warned. But i wonder why he used such a heavy tone. Would it be really serious if we pressed e wrong one??
As if not weird enough, this place is FILLED with ppl calling others. Apparently, they have to say smth like
"Hi. I am so-and-so calling from (the company's name which i've forgotten). We've picked ur name from (some Lucky Draw name which i cant rmb). Congratulation! U've been chosen to undergo a FREE makeover... yadda yadda... ..."
Upon reading this, i KNEW i wasnt going to do this kinda job. So obvious it's fake one rite?! If it's really from a draw, how come got picked so many ppl? Somemore some points to take note was "because we are a newly set-up image consultant company, we are inviting you over....". Isnt this contradiction? On one hand, they claimed to pick them out frm draw, on the other hand, they are saying they are inviting selected ppl to participate in e makeover.
Anw, i really dun like to receive this kinda calls. Dont do onto others what you dont want others to do unto you (smth like that lah). I had wanted to run away. But that place really creeps me out. I was kinda scared of those peeps too. So i guai guai wait til the personale was free to see e three of us & made up the excuse that i can only work one month. Hee. That got me off. Hooray!

So i went back to sakae. MAN. There were SoO many applicants lah! But i still tried anw. Pc & merle returned from their orchard trip & went in after my batch. I didnt get any call from them (maybe cos i had too many requests?? i heard they were short of ppl @ e east, so i asked to be placed @ east area... =s) Neither did pc. But lucky merle did. Agreed to work part-time for them.

oh. after tt. We went city hall to try out watsons. (cos i've worked there b4. i know they still hire ppl during xmas season.)
NJ prom was on dat day, at dat place (Swissotel). So met a few NJCians. Saw Mr Dio too. thou doubt he know me. AND THE REAL SURPRISE IS
SEEING MR RONNIE GOH. gosh. the three of us (me, pc, merle) cAnnOt come out in trio lor. The first time we went out w/o qy, we saw gary sim. now, the 2nd time, it's ronnie goh. who's next?! haha. i dun wan le! =p

after tt. we went paragon to c ee teng make up! cos VJ prom oso on tt day. the lips were well-done (hm. not well-done in e steak-like manner hor..) but e eyes not bright/eye-catching enough. But i like e hair too!! keke... then pc got all excited cos her prom (tj) was on e following mon.

Ay, gave up hope in searching for job liao. Ironically, in my house, it's the daughter (me!) who wanna work & it's the mother (my mom lor!) who doesnt want the daughter to go work. hAhAz. so good lor, mom says she'll support me. =)
ay, partly cos i can only work til 21dec lah.
"WHY?", many had asked.
"Got op."
"What's an op??"

So right here, right now, better inform everyone [or at lst those who visited this site, this page :)
] tt im going for a jaw surgery operation on 22nd Dec.
Gonna have my upper jaw moved forward.
Some have been encouraging --> ooh, tt's means u gonna come out pretty??
Some have not really showed it --> Why u wanna do? U're quite alright, right?
gosh, isit dangerous??
As if im not worried enough.
hm.
wells. which side are you on??
