[81. pain]

I tell you, this time round, it's really PAINFUL! No joke, 2 teeth at the same time is no joke! I juz kept on rising my mouth yesterday and still, there's blood. And the thing just goes on and on till bedtime. And then I can't sleep. The feeling is just very irritated, very uncomfortable. The feeling is just hard to describe.

Woke up exceptionally early this morning. 0800H. Ok, not really early but for someone who is not working, studying or exercising, it's considered early ok! I'm up so that I can take the medication. Sucks right? And I'm thinking what should I eat later? Porridge? I could bearly open up my mouth this morning to slurp down the half-boiled egg that my mum had prepared. Thanks mum, but it's a little overcooked.

Actually, I'm still kinda bleeding right now. Little bit by little bit. It will shows when I rinse my mouth and I can literally taste my own blood! Eeeewwww, disgusting.

So who's up for wisdom tooth extraction? You?

[80. surgery again]

Just reach home after my wisdom tooth surgery and this time round, my face is terribly swollen! I got a shock when I look at myself at the mirror just now!

My surgery started at 1500H. After the injections (around 6 this time round!), I almost fainted. It's soooooooo painful! Then the dentist came in.

"Ok, Mr Lim. We are going to start right now."

Then here comes the "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" sound again. But because this time round, the wisdom tooth wasn't as badly decayed as the previous one, so it's almost a full-size tooth! And I think my frequent milk diet comes into play. High calcium diet = strong teeth = harder to extract. I could feel the pressure she (my dentist was a lady) was using on my tooth!

"Ok, Mr Lim. You will hear a crack sound."

(Less then a second...)

*crack

(And the process goes on for 3 times!)

"Ok, Mr Lim. We are done on the lower tooth. Now we will extract the upper tooth."

Like I've said, high calcium diet = strong teeth = harder to extract. My upper tooth is even stronger then I've thought! She was using so much force that my face could feel the pain! Pain coming from the pressure on my face! Pulled here, tugged there. I could literally feel the root of the tooth detaching from my canal. And I tell you, that is painful, even though I'm already on aneasthesia. Still bearable but scary! And viola, it's finally out after sooooooooooo much hard work. But I seriously think that a small part of my upper gum is being tear off after the top tooth is being extracted. She was stitching it back. Hmmmmmm. Pretty rare for top tooth.

And when it's all over, the clock shows 1530H. That's half an hour of scary moment that you will never want to try. But sometimes you just don't have the choice when it's really badly decayed ya. I've got slightly giddy right after the surgery. Was wondering why but just felt pretty weak. Did I bleed to much? Or is it the aneasthesia? But it should be ok.

Now here comes the even more scary part! I'm not sure if I'm allergic to Codeine, just got some not-so-nice reaction from it after the last time I've taken it. Got breatheless the last time. I think she slipped her mind la, and prescripted me with a painkiller that contains both Paracetamol and Codeine. Ok, I'm not too alert to realize that too but luckily the pharmacist saw that after issuing me the medicine and quickly called me back before I leave. Phew! Close shave. But never mind. At least they had sincerely apologized right on the spot.

Now, back at home. No exercise, no alcohol... blah blah blah... Wait, no exercise? Then what about my grading this Sunday? Heck, don't care... I'm still going for Friday's training. But perhaps not joining them for the more strenuous exercises ba.

[79. terror]

So now what? Another bombing ya. So what's this? Instilling terror, fear or hate? I simply condemn such acts! Why do they have to make the world a living hell? Why do they have to take lives when all they wanted was to enjoy their holidays? Why bomb Bali... again?

It's such a beautiful island. Rich with Hindu historic places of interest. Rich with nature. Rich with friendly people. Rich with innocence. Rich with parties. Why destroy it all? Although I haven't been to Bali yet, I've been thinking maybe I should go there to relax one of these days and yet, they do it again! So when is it going to be enough? They did it in 2003 and they do it again right here, right now on 2005.

I saw the scene from CNA and was badly shaken by the act. Ok, shaken not as in literally but mentally, the bodies, the limbs, the blood, the gore... but are we giving up to these acts of terror? I'm shaken, are you?

The terrorists have their fun ya. Look for quiet and secluded place. Make bombs. Plan the route. Stealth through the places undetected. Drop the bomb. "BLAST!". Buildings burn. Windows shattered. Listen to screams and cries. See people run for their lives. Limbs fly. Mummies die. Daddies die. Children cries. Tourists bleed. Nation uproar and condemn. The terrorists feels accomplished... Accomplished what? Killing? Don't they feel the pain when killing the people? I feel the pain for those who died and those whom love ones died.

Let us pray for those who had died in the Bali blast.

PM Lee made a daring and yet applausable move to not cancel his trip to Indonesia for his visit. Along with his wife, some ministers and senior officials, they went ahead with their 2 days trip. This is what we call, not giving in to terror. How can we let the terrorists win this war over our minds? So let us give a bow to PM Lee and wish them a safe trip ya.

So are we still giving up to these acts of terror?

NO WAY... and the war against terror continues to fight...

[78. done]

Yes, after 16 confinements and it's finally over! Looks like I've broken many records ya! Ain't I great? Bleah. But this weekend had been pretty tiring ya. The Rubbish System Manager had come up with this rule that all confinees have to clear up EVERY single stagnant water within the block. Ok, if the work is split for many peps, it's easy... but if it's solely for 1 person, it's living hell! And when the sky isn't helping at all for both Saturday and Sunday -- after I've clear up, it started to rain like it'd never done before! What the!?!

Never mind, at least the bos wasn't particular about that. I mean, by clearing all the stagnant water up, it's not going to help with the dengue thingy in Yishun right? It's still a breeding ground and mosquitoes have wings hellooooo, in case you've not realize, they can FLY! Oooooooo... So they can fly in camp as and when they like for some feast ya. So I don't see the reason why clearing up only our block would make such a BIG difference, unless I clear up the entire Yishun estate... and please, don't be stupid! Anyway, just do it right? Ya, I know that...

And guess what, I'm bitten 3 to 4 times in camp while I'm cleaning up the drains. And it's super itchy! Hell with the mosquitoes and from today on, it's WAR! Don't lemme see you fly pass me you bitch! I'll make sure my palms slaps you hard! Just when I thought they don't like my blood type. Argh!

Hans is sick. So is Dick. I'm not 100% recovered. And once again, the flu virus saga has yet ended. When is it coming to an end? It's been like dragging on for quite long!

So now, all I have to worry is my second round of wisdom tooth surgery tomorrow afternoon and my TKD grading coming up this Sunday at TPY Indoor Stadium. For the former, I'm nervous -- can't forget the excruiating pain of the injections to the gums. For the latter, I'm worried -- I've got some of the movements mixed up and still can't get my basic kick right. Shucks! So right now, I'm nervous and worried! Plus, I haven't book my practical lessons for bike class 2B. Darn...

[77. slimming programme]

Ripped this off from my email and I think it's really really funny. So, let's laugh out ya!

A man was ordered by his doctor to lose 75 lbs due to very serious health risks. As he wondered how in the heck he would ever do it, he ran across an ad in the newspaper for a GUARANTEED WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM.

"Guaranteed. Yeah right!" he thought to himself.

But desperate, he calls them up and subscribes to the 3-day/10 pound weight loss program. The next day there's a knock at his door, and when he answers, there stands before him a voluptuous, athletic, 19 year old young lady dressed in nothing but a pair of Nike running shoes and a sign around her neck. She introduces herself as a representative of the weight loss company. The sign reads, "If you can catch me, you can have me!"

Without a second thought he takes off after her. A few miles later, huffing and puffing, he finally catches her and has his way with her. After they are through and she leaves, he thinks to himself, "I like the way this company does business!" The same girl shows up for the next two days and the same thing happens.

On the fourth day, he weighs himself and is delighted to find he has lost 10 lb. as promised. He calls the company and orders their 5-day/20 pound program. The next day there's a knock at the door and there stands the most stunning, beautiful, sexy woman he has ever seen in his life, wearing nothing but Reebok running shoes and a sign around her neck that reads, "If you catch me, you can have me."

He's out the door after her like a shot. This girl is in excellent shape and it takes him a while to catch her, but when he does, it is worth every cramp and wheeze. For the next four days, the same routine happens. Much to his delight, on the fifth day, he weighs himself and found he has lost another 20 lbs as promised.

He decides to go for broke and calls the company to order the 7-day/ 50 pound program.

"Are you sure?" asks the representative on the phone. "This is our most rigorous program."

"Absolutely," he replies, "I haven't felt this good in years."

The next day there's a knock at the door and when he opens it he finds a muscular guy standing there wearing nothing but pink running shoes and a sign around his neck that reads, "If I catch you, you're mine."

[76. out]

I'm out from home almost the entire. Well, almost like I've said. From early morning, down to SSDC for my bike class 2B enrollment, then lunch with Logan at town in the afternoon and finally ended off with Hans and Logan for dinner at Bishan. I'm sleepy and tired. But it's really been a long time since I've last done sooooooooooo much window shopping!

I've never felt having so much time in my hands! All of the sudden, I couldn't seems to get use to it. I'm constantly looking for someone to company. Then emptiness sets in then blah blah blah...

Well, while I was in town, I couldn't help to shrug off a little with the fashion sense that some young peps have nowadays. The hair, the tops, the bottoms, the colours... all wrong wrong wrong. Ok, or rather weird weird weird. A nice word would be "stylish". A worse word would be "disastrous". Well, though I'm not the fashion doctor out there (unlike i.Lix), but still they are still bad for your eyes la. Just bad...

Anyway, just when Logan and I were crossing that little path between Cineleisure and Meritus Mandrin, there's this bridal's car with the bride inside. Just take that we were stunned, going to puke plus faint when we saw the bride. Ok, up to your imagination. And just a little advice to ladies with HUGE boobies -- wear a bra! Although it's really sexy to go "bra-less" but when they are exceptionally large, it's very very disgusting and DISTRACTING to look at while they kept on woobling as you walk. Not very nice ya.

Xuan told me that somebody left a tag in my old tagboard that was in my old blog. It says my new blog address, which is current one that you are reading. Well I went to check it out this morning and got a slight shock of my life! the nickname was MINE! It's been such a long time since I've last visited my blog le. So did I really left that tag? I couldn't remember but I've wanted to keep this blog as a "private" one and I'll only inform those friends who seriously want to read. So no point for me to annouce it over my tag so out-right ya? And plus there was a mistake in the sencond latest tag and the amendment was made to the first tag. So, if I've made a mistake, I'll just need to go to the administrative page to edit right? And one more error, I don't use the typo "seeya" for "see you" since I only use "cya". So, was there someone impersonating me? I don't know but I had that tagboard removed. Although I don't exclude the fact that I might really left that post since it was really so long back then and I couldn't recall if I've really did, but neither do I exclude the fact that someone might had impersonate me. So to all readers here, please don't do such a thing ya. There should be some kinda ethics within yourself and don't cheat it ya. 'Nuff said.

Oh ya, before I've forgot. My NEW CELEB CRUSH -- Malika Sherawat from the Jackie Chan's movie, The Myth! Oooooohhhh, sexy! I like the why she moves!

[75. home]

A song by the world famous crooner -- Michael Bublé. I think so far, this is the only song that can make me feel calm down in a noisy place or a hectic day. It simply got this magnetic power over everyone's mind and soul, making everyone feel like going back home. I think I'll cry if I'm overseas for a very very long time and listening to this song. So, let's enjoy... Home by Michael Bublé.

Another summer day
Is come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home
Mmmmmmmm

Maybe surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
I just wanna go home
Oh I miss you, you know

And I’ve been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you
Each one a line or two
“I’m fine baby, how are you?”
Well I would send them but I know that it’s just not enough
My words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that

Another aeroplane
Another sunny place
I’m lucky I know
But I wanna go home
Mmmm, I’ve got to go home

Let me go home
I’m just too far from where you are
I wanna come home

And I feel just like I’m living someone else’s life
It’s like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you could not
Come along with me
But this was not your dream
But you always believe in me

Another winter day has come
And gone away
And even Paris and Rome
And I wanna go home
Let me go home

And I’m surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel alone
Oh, let go home
Oh, I miss you, you know

Let me go home
I’ve had my run
Baby, I’m done
I gotta go home
Let me go home
It'll all be all right
I’ll be home tonight
I’m coming back home

[74. dragging]

Honestly, I think my cough has been dragging on for too long. I'm still coughing right now! It's not getting any better but luckily it isn't getting worse either.

Yesterday, I'd spent my entire day watching Naruto and guess what, I'm late for TKD training because of that too. Oops. And by the time I'd reached school, the rest had started off their training. Darn. But I think I wasn't getting use to the muscle aches that I've gotten from all my own personal trainings that when I went off running on the tracks, I could literally feel the strain on my calves. Shucks! Old liao. Kailing was there yesterday, mentioning that how much she had missed my old blog. Ha. Too bad, it's closed. Ya I know. I missed that place too.

Perhaps later in the evening, I'll drag myself to run again. Have to lose more weight!

[73. begin]

Ok, I just embark on a slightly stricter diet to begin my "weight-losing programme". And to kick off, I went running this early morning. And what a "good" return I get after that -- my mp3 player's earphone got it's "veins" exposed! IRKS! I think it's due to the impact that I've created during the run. Every single copper wire can been seen clearly. Shucks! But luckily it's still working fine, only that I'm really afraid that it might snap anytime.

Guess what I've used to "repair" that problem? Yes, black tape and micropore. Ok, the black tape is obvious reasons la. Strong, sticky and durable. But why micropore? For those who don't know what the hell is that, it's the white tape that the doctors use to tape it over your gauze so as to secure it when you have a cut or blister. Well, although it's not as strong as black tape, it's actually very very sticky and because my earphone wires are actually white in colour, so using a white tape would be more appropriate right? I definately don't want to look so weird walking around with my earphones, having a little black tape sticking over it. Eh........

And since this morning I was really bored, I've decided to begin watching Naruto. Yup, the one that has almost every manga and anime fans gone gaga about. Not bad actually and pretty hilarious! Till now, I've completed up to episode 20. Wah, my eyes almost popped out! So I don't think I'll be continuing it till slightly later.

Now I'm getting a little worried for my up-coming grading. So little time left and so much details to memorize! Remember this, forget that. Remeber that, forget this. If this goes on, I'll be dead meat! And not forgetting my grading fee!

[72. screams and cries]

Ok, it's nothing to do with beatings and stuff like that. It's actually singing. Haha. It's been a long time since my last visit to a KTV and so happens that the TKD gang is going over to KBox this afternoon and I happily tagged along. I'm not sure what's wrong with me la. Coughing like hell and still persistant to scream off some notes. Bleah. Just too tempted.

Well, I seldom hang out with this group of peps and I'm a little teeny-weeny bit of "shy" initially but as you can see, I can't resist the temptation of mingling around.

All I can describe my voice today -- SHIT! I was like trying very very hard to hold on to my notes and they were like "flying" all around! I just simply sounded horrendous! Even my usual songs sound like chicken cries! It's sooooooo embarrasing. But all of us were kinda like screaming at the top of our voice, so I'm not the worst la. And I'm not the only one sick over there. Not alone!

But we had great fun. But spending $20 on having fun, eh........ Then the expensive Neoprints! Wah, $9 on that teeny-weeny sets of stickers. Eh, talking about big-spenders ya. Haha. But the company of friends is priceless...

On my way back home, saw Hsu and I'm windering how our topic started to wonder off to Edward and he made a little correction on my quote on him and I think it's pretty true ya.

Initially, it was: Who says there's nothing wrong with him? Unable to communicate is his problem!

Now, after courtesy of Hsu, it goes: There is nothing with him if only one person in the office dislikes him. But there is definately something wrong with him if almost everyone in the office dislike him!

Hmmmmmm, how accurate and precise Hsu always is as usual.
