[85. crossroad]

Was reading my friends blogs as usual when I'm really bored when I came to i.Lix blog. This was what he wrote: I am at a crossroad now, not really knowing what I want to do. When I was young, I knew I wanted to be a symphony conductor. Then I grew up knowing I want to be in suits, commanding my advertising or marketing team. But how does one really get started?

So, now I'm actually in this problem too ya. When I was really young, I wanted to be part of police force, nabbing gangsters and stuff like that. Then, I wanted to be a singer. Ok, too far-fetched but like was saying, when I was young. As I entered secondary level, I wanted to be a military officer. Hmmmmmm, why did I ever habour such thoughts? Then, I wanted to be a teacher. What the? Better don't "Wu Ren Zi Di". When I've entered poly, everything starts to go distorted. My future seemed so narrow. Everything that the society had shown had already some to a conclusion, for peps like me! None scholars + stupid farks + bad results = gleem future. No degree, no talk and when the economy crisis happened, everything came to a naught. Then when I was in unit, Huijian once told me to become a radio DJ since I can talk so well. Eh, can talk don't know how to read the scripts also cannot make it la. So now, I really really don't know what to do! So please please stop asking me what am I going to do after I ORD. I wanted to go into hotel line but all these courses needs $$$ and they don't come cheap! So it's like how am I going to go for it when $$$ is already the main problem? How to get started in the first place? What about the future that it holds?

So...

Future seems gleem... gleemer than before...

I might not be even at a crossroad anymore. A crossroad still has choices to choose from, but I don't have choices at all. I'm at the end of the road with a huge wall blocking it. I'm waiting for the sledge hammer to suddenly appear on my hand now so that I can whack it down.

[83. class 2b practical]

Ok, you all are "permitted" to call me loser for TODAY only! For the THIRD time, I've failed my Theory Trial Test! Can you believe it!?! Darn!

Anyway, Class 2B practical lessons are soooooooooooo fun!

Lesson learnt number 1 -- always bring an extra top.
Reason 1: after that lesson, my tee was so drenched by my sweat, like I've just completed 2.4km run with it! Eeeewwwwww.

Lesson learnt number 2 -- buy your own helmet.
Reason 1: theirs STINKS like hell!
Reason 2: I've got slight rashes around my neck after yesterday's lesson.

But Thomas and I both felt that we are learning pretty fast. Some only can proceed to the big circuit during their 3rd practical while we were already on the big circuit just now for our 2nd practical. Hmmmmmm, not bad. Although I still screwed up a little here and there, but overall, I'm pretty ok. Yeah! I think pretty soon, we will proceed to Lesson 2.

But I think I wouldn't buy a bike if neccesary although I'll keep on learning until Class 2A or even Class 2. It's pretty dangerous on road ya. Cars are what Chinese says "Tie Bao Ren", metal-cover-man while bikes are what we call "Ren Bao Tie", man-cover-metal. So, the difference is there, go figure out yourself.

Gosh, I'm pretty shag after this 2 days of practicals. Darn.

There's still TKD training tonight. Grading is coming and I'm getting more and more worried.

[82. swelling]

My face was swelling quite badly yesterday until late afternoon where it started to subside. And I though I'l be all ok like usual this morning. Heck. It's still SWOLLEN! Ok, although not as bad but... bad. I look like I have mumps on my left side of my face! Gosh! I look like shit!

I just took a quick look at the extracted teeth in the small ziplock bag. Like what the dentist said, it's decayed. Ya, you can see the surface of the teeth starting to have small little holes forming. And together with the remains of my gums' flesh and blood, it's actually quite a disgusting sight. Anybody want to take a look? Haha.

Now I'm wondering when will my swelling fully subside? I've got bike practical lesson later in the afternoon, together with Thomas. I've got TKD training tomorrow and the grading is this coming Sunday. Worried? A little.

Oh ya, Aaron's birthday was yesterday and although I've SMSed him a greeting, I think I'll wish him Happy Birthday again ya!

[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!
