Teeth, or lack of.

It's been 6 days since i've had my wisdom teeth extracted (my first ever surgical experience! :P). here are a few things i've learnt.

Heads up, Tim Foo. this is for you.

Tip #1. It will hurt when the anaesthesia wears off, and the pain might radiate up to your temple and give you a throbbing headache. If it does, 2 tablets of Panadol or Nurofen should do the trick. :) at least for a few hours..

Tip # 2. Take extra care when eating food, especially with things like rice and nuts. they tend to get stuck in the gaping holes of your gum. :O

Tip # 3. Don't attempt to blow up a balloon. I tried just now, and 5 hours later, my gums are still hurting. :(

Tip # 4. I think it helps to be a bit chubby in the first place, just so that any form of swelling or chipmunk-ness will not be as accentuated. :P

Tip # 5. (Only applies if your dentist uses sutures to mend your gums back together) it's really ANNOYING to have this piece of string in your mouth. hmpf. -.-

That's all i've got so far in less than a week..might update this post, we shall see. :)

Sunday afternoon

it is exactly a week to AMYC. i'm REALLY excited, this shall be my first youth camp since i touched down in Perth! Woop-de-doooooooooo i hear the D & Ms with my girlies calling...it will be ossumpossum!!

LOL.

on another note, i love that it is the holidays, and i can do things without having this nagging little voice at the back of my head saying i have to study or i really should be doing my assignment. right now, THERE IS NO VOICE. muahahaha. :D

went to Esther's 21st, enjoyed it tremendously. i thought everyone looked great! albeit i may have been a bit too big to be Boo and Nick was a bit too small to be The Penguin. the irony. xD still, it was memorable..and now i'm reminded that i will be 21 pretty soon. :O

I love you guys long time. :)

i wonder

...if i can find the time this holidays to watch all the movies in my hard drive (because they're seriously growing mould in there)

...when we'll ever get tired of sleepovers, and laughing ourselves silly over boardgames :)

...if in 20 years, 40 years, 60 years, we could still hang out as though nothing's changed and not be like those people who are so caught up in the frenzies of life that they have no time for anything anymore

...if i'll be ready for work in 2 years time

...whether watching the entire Star Wars collection this holidays will change my mind about not liking Star Wars

...if i will be able to carry out my holiday resolution of becoming a gym junkie :S

...how the angmos can stand the massive flies (i can't stand them!! ><)

...if there is a chance, a very slight possibility, that i could just grow ever slightly more? (just maybe 2 cm, dear God? :P)

...how i will survive 6 units and 5 units in 3rd year

...if i will be able to become as good a cook as my mom one day

and i wonder..

One of the things I will never get

is the whole..alpha-male thing.

we can't all be GOOD at EVERYTHING and we can't ALWAYS be RIGHT in ALL circumstances and we can't KNOW EVERYTHING!!

and that's actually perfectly alright, you know.

pfft.

this is really testing my patience, but i'm going to suck it up.

just like my infection & immunity lecture.

go me.

"God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble." James 4:6

Humility man, humility.

i <3 the Science library

there's smth about the round tables with green seats in the science library that just appeals to me.

maybe it's the fact that it's got backseats that rise up and become mini walls so people can't see you.

maybe it's the way the sun shines through the windows and brightens up that spot.

or perhaps it's the fact that interesting people plonk themselves in the seats opposite you and random conversations take place all around.

today a final year law student offered me lime and chilli soy crisps. she was so scared to eat them properly coz she thought that she was being very noisy. i was secretly trying not to laugh. :P she also had the worst time at the post office today, but unfortunately i could not sympathize with her as it's never happened to me before.

the last time a guy with earrings on both his ears asked me if i thought his handwriting was nice, because his friend (who'd received the strangest email from her ex) complained that his font was too big, in her words: "who writes that big?! that's like, a font size 20!" of course i said his handwriting was nice.

and this other time, a girl offered to wake me up from the nap i was going to take, which i declined..too paiseh. :P

that being said, i think it's because those round tables with the green chairs make my day interesting. :)

kudos to andrew for an OSSUM time of MEGAPRAISE tonight. :)

i've visited Maccas for 3 times now, in the past week. first 2 for frozen cokes, 3rd for a Happy Meal. so unhealthy. >< *guilt trip*

i need to start on this week's Disciple. :S

except for exams, i have no more uni days for the rest of this year. halfway already. too fast.

we should jam more often. i learnt how to do a drumroll today by accident. i may have forgotten how to do it already.

i'm exhausted. been deprived of sleep lately. it does NOT go well with my skin. yucks. :(

there exists two strange people in IMC who can sing songs at mega-high frequency. like, CHIPMUNK level. and CONSISTENTLY too. 0.0 ...and it's not me. lol.

i can still hear the cymbals clashing in my head. and tim's solo. and ivan's keyboard skills. and alberts wao-wao-wao-wao-wao effect on the e-guitar. and loony's punk rock version of 'Every Move I Make'. and tiff's geng piano. :) it makes me happy just thinking about it.

on that note, time to sleep now, i think.

i want to go to sleep, happy. :)

i miss you

talking to you today has made me realize that we haven't actually properly talked in....way too long.

:(

it makes me sad.
