Wisdom tooth operation

2009-11-24T20:32:00.000-08:00

Tuesday, 24 Nov 09.

Day started off without eating or drinking anything. Was scared. Mum and dad brought me to outram park NDC to have the operation.

Everyone was being real nice, the staff there etc. One nurse helped poke some needle thing into my hand, but forgot to cap it so an estimated amt of 2ml blood leaked. It didnt matter though, the nurses had my bed sheet changed quickly.

Took tests and had to wear the silly blue hospital costume. Haha. The pants was too loose for me, so I stuffed it till it fit me ;)

The op took fast. One lady led me onto a bed and a few people were working on me at the same time. One placed an oxygen mask on me, told me to take deep breaths and relax. Another doctor which was a male told me he was my anasthasia doctor and told me i will be sleeping soon. Then I really conked out, and the next moment I awoke I was on this bed and a nurse helped put gauze in my mouth for me to bite and keep the blood from flowing.

Rested for awhile while waiting for parents. Was in discomfort, alot in fact. Pressed the bell for the nurse and she helped me change my gauze and fed me water. The water was sweet and coloured in red, almost looks like blood to me. There was a small ant in the water too, but I didnt care. I was so thankful to be able to drink water. After that I waited till my parents reached the place back from lunch, and then they brought me home and bought for me tiong bahru porridge. Ate it slowly, and during lunch my teeth suddenly hurt - the numbness was just wearing off. It hurt, real bad. I was so in pain that I didnt want to do anything, cant even sleep. So i immediately took the painkiller, and the 10-15 minutes that it took for the painkiller to take effect was really bad. Luckily carrie underwood's play on accompanied me till I slept, and then when I woke up it was just in time for Your hand in mine and the night was alrite.. I even managed to go onto msn to chat with ppl :)

Alright the op's a success, thank goodness. I'm ok, no worries!!

November

2009-11-22T06:26:00.001-08:00

My favourite month of every year is flying away so quickly.

What a year this has been.

I feel that part of me has changed a lot. My believes, thoughts and trust.

Let me say, people change with their surroundings.

I'm no different.

This year has introduced me to victoria junior college, college life and a group of new people. It has also allowed me to see which secondary school friends I've spent 4 years with are the ones that would be potentially life long friends, which ones are just those you are close to for awhile, but when the time passes, you're no longer close anymore.

What I am introduced to this year is a world of team-working, deception, learning how to survive in a world of office politics and mind-numbing backstabbers. I've also learnt that being a loud child doesn't do me any good, not in a world like this.

I've learnt the world is practical.

I've learnt that it takes one or two bad seeds to ruin your entire patch of land that could have potentially sewn for you life-long plants that you can keep and rely on during times of needs.

I was at my grandfather's birthday party yesterday, and I saw how my young cousins knew how to operate a computer at just 6 years old.

Times has changed. So much.

In a way I envy them, for still being so young and not exposed to what a teenager gets to see in his everyday life.

But I know that if I get through this stage, adult life will not stump me.

All the way, =)

2009-10-24T05:00:00.000-07:00

I'm updating. I am in a damn bad mood now as I'm updating. Someone shit up please.

I will update more when I feel better.

Open House 2009

2009-10-11T02:09:00.000-07:00

Open house on fri was a blast! =)

The JC2 assembly was quite ok, but it's quite boring to be honest cos my class quite seperated that day and everyone is just so quiet... Hmm so halfway I went to find alvin to talk to him becos I think he is the only one who will entertain me. Yeah then things got a little less duller and got qiao ni next to me to talk to too, so after awhile I was feeling at least happy again haha. Then during just dance, I wanted to find people to go in front to dance but it seems like no one wants to.. =( But the song rocked though. I hope next year they will perform "Bad Romance". That's my favourite chorus ever from GaGa.

Then after that we had a short interact meeting and then some of us left to go april's house to play mahjong. Didnt play that in the end, ended up playing cards. Wah her house is really special and nice, and she has a really big room that is spacious and her bathroom roof is not covered with any thing de. Lol. So when bathing its like the birds can see. Hahaha. Yeah we da bao food from PP and then left to the house. Poor aven lost his water bottle though, and he was a total auntie throughout the whole outing HAHA.

Yep then had some misunderstandings with ppl back at sch abt the booth thing but yea, its settled.. =) After that we went back sch, and me and clara ran all the way from st pat's bus stop to vjc cos we were quite late and there were sec 4s arriving already! I was shocked that I could run so fast without feeling tired at all... my stamina's really improving siahs. yeah then set up the booth, and then watched band perform some songs, and then we started telling people about interact club.

The booth duty was rather sian to be honest, but thankfully yi han and yi wei and other random ppl popped by to give entertainment to us. Then the concourse area traffic is also super low... so it's really sian. After that went over to piano there, started kicking the balloon with karen corliss and jia en. I think the SC see liao v heart pain... hahas. Yeah but it's quite fun =) Then after that ranon came and we went around sch to explore the different booths. The lighted tree house is really amazing to see! After that bought dinner with him then he had to leave for home.. then went to eat dinner with josie, and then aven they all join us and we went back to the booth to clear up the booth lo since the traffic so low anw. But rather fun lah the whole day. Hahas. Then after that me, gordon, aven, cai jia and josie went to mass dance! Really fun, and I partnered josie for the friendship dance lol. We just anyhow make up steps throughout the dance, ahhas. Rarely I massed dance so happily! Really fun.

Then we left and went home with xuan hao and hui ying, pris and jia ying on the same bus. Auntie aven pangseh when his bus came rite away lol. Then went home, went onto facebook and farmville.. =) After that had a good nite sleep. hahas.

Then saturday had mentoring. Wasn't fruiful at all for jun hao cos he wanted to play, so I let him, and taught wei bin instead. Lol. Must have been terrorizing on wei bin because I just kept piling him with work after work. Anyway his p1 exams are coming up so I had to do it to make sure he does well for the exams.. Yeah and the other external volunteers were playing games and giving out gifts to the kids and it really distracted them from doing real work in my opinion.. Hmm I hope this is just a temporary arrangement because it is not beneficial for the kid's studies...

After that went to wei hao's house and did pw with him and joann first. hahas we went to watch some cool videos, and I showed them my favourite performance of adam lambert: ring of fire. Then they all hated it sadly.. :( Maybe I got weird taste ahhas but I really really like that performance. Then joann said carrie underwood is so pretty that a straight girl can turn les for her, and me and weihao gave her that kind of "o.O" face. hahas. Yeps then after that ate dinner at wei hao's house (the food is really good!). The corn soup is really tasty, and I actually ate finish both corns and drank every bit of the soup (I rarely do that at my own house). The lime juice drink is nice too, wh say can just buy for $2 at GIANTS. hahas.

Hui ting came when I went toilet, then after that we 4 did together the WR. Left early to go ah ma house, and then its home sweet home and PW again on msn. Slept at crazy 4 because I was surfing the net for stuff hahahas.

Then today... woke up early for piano lesson, then went over to bedok stadium to meet wei hao to run. Wah the sun was really hot, and we both died after the 4th round, so we stopped. Then we went to rest and talk cock.. and then ran 2 more rounds, then wei hao kena stitch. I think he is really in pain cos he kept saying "ow ow ow". Felt really helpless cos I dunno wat to do.. so I suggested we go to the gym there for air con. Hahas. Then I think that made him feel better also.. =) So aft that we walked back to the stadium and walked for around 3 rounds I think, and talking bah basically. hahaha. Quite fun. Oh and I did 3 pull ups (boo) and he did 5 and stopped. I'm sure he can do more de, haha but I can't sadly... Haiz my fitness all gone after promos le. So after that we went to talk more, and then around 2 we both went home.

Then I went home for lunch, aft that went to the swimming pool to chill. Been a long time since I've been in the water... =) Now my skin is quite red, hahas hoping that it turns into tanned skin and not peeled skin in the LR. Lol so econs, nvm...

Yep so here am I blogging now and going to do stuff later too! Tmr will be a fun day, going out with yi le yay and then out with inggrid and yile on tues. Can't wait.. =)

What a nice 3 days, (:
-leon

Start from where I left off

2009-10-08T07:05:00.000-07:00

Thursday, 8 Oct, day started off sunny but rained later to allow me to catch some nice sleep.

Promos has finally come to a closure. I think overall the promos are harder than the mid years, but it's still manageable for most subjects. Bio was killer though, oh no. I pray that my GP doesn't fail again too.

It's been a hazy few days, been out of house a lot. I realised in the past few days that I've lost interest in some of the stuff that I used to like - alot.

Yesterday (or today) was the latest time I've ever slept in my life. 520 am. That happened at wei hao's house because we two were doing overnight WR editing. It was rather fruitful, and quite fun too. The WR looks great now, it consists of so many diagrams and our pictures of pilot project etc.

Yesterday the day started off by going to bedok to interview people. We were supposed to meet at 9, hahaha I woke up at 840. Then I realised joanna and hui ting will be super late too, so poor wei hao waited for us at bedok. In the end I was the second to reach the place, so luckily I'm not the latest. When joann came, we went around interviewing people. Some of the stall people like the woman from the chwee kueh store at bedok central (the chwee kueh store next to the char kway tiao stall) were really friendly, but some others like the uncle selling the teochew mutton soup isn't that friendly... Oh well, we got what we wanted, the hawker interviews went real fine.

After that I went to school - late for interact exco folding straw hearts. So I ended up not learning how to fold, but hey I did an important job of cutting away loose ends of the straw hearts to make it heart shape. We went to buy transparent straws from the vj drink stall aunty, lol I think she must have thought that we were weird. I also ordered M sized vjc zip jacket! Actually I thought the pullover looked nicer than the zip jacket, but wearing it is super troublesome and zip is more leon style.... =)

Sometime later tan yew hwee chased some of us out of vj because some of us were wearing slippers, so we proceeded to east coast to make the interact club souvenirs. The hut soon became a souvenir making factory, hahaha me and caijia designed the nice ice cream sticks and josie pasted the hearts while gladys, ming ee and jas made the hearts. Halfway through we wanted variation in the words, so we started making different designs - lol i wrote VEEKS INTERACT CLUB for one of the ice cream stick, which makes no sense since it is supposed to be VJC INTERACT, but veeks is kind of closely related to vjc. Don't know which lucky secondary 4 will get it tomorrow at the open house. ;)

After that it was proceed to somerset and then back to tanah where I had my dinner at home and watched tabitha own everyone else in Singapore Idol. Then went over to wei hao's house and watched the results show with huiting, joann and wei hao. It was kind of funny how everyone seems to be rooting for the girls - haha. The bottom 4 were tabitha and 3 not so important contestants, and then I was so scared for tabitha, and I think tabitha looks like she's almost going to cry any time on TV. Luckily the host said one of the guys is going home, lol then all of us relaxed right away.

After that it was a little farmville, gossip, facebook and PW. Wei hao's house is really modern and nice, hahas he showed me his toilet bowl with the moving lid and kitchen cabinet with the self closing mechanism after giving it a slightest push. How cool is that? Haha.

Yep so this morning woke up at 8 and I realised there is a blanket over me... thank you wei hao's mum :) I went to brush my teeth, and then stoned around before leaving the house with wei hao. Lol made my way to bedok south to get the interact photos developed, and then had breakfast at the hawker centre. One of the most feeling breakfasts ever.. =)

After that went home and I was on the phone for quite long.. I think maybe close to an hour. Then the thunder came and rain started pouring, and I got super tired because I only caught 2 to 3 hours of sleep. That's when I fell asleep all the way till 4 something, haha.

Going to start looking for a job attachment, or something that can occupy my time during the holidays. Looking forward to working up some sweat during floorball trainings, and the interact club stuff. Oh and piano emsemble too, I must start working on clair de lune! My playing really became quite bad during this promos season.

All right, time to log off =)

Testing

2009-08-07T09:47:00.000-07:00

Trying to get back into the blogging mode now, I realised that it's really difficult to keep blogging because my scheldue's really tight...

Anyway, some notable things that happened in the recent few days includes feeling fab, the bio lab session with s35 and s37, GIIS interact club installation.

FEELING FAB

I'll start with feeling fab first. I was enrolled into dining etiquette and ice skating! Talk about sian to the max at first when I heard I was in dining etiquette... =( initially I wanted windsurfing or sailing, so those were my first 2 choices... but I kena rejected from them and had to settle for DE and ice skating. Hahas, but was quite relieved that I have ice skating as one of my activities, because it seems cool and it's something that is really beyond my usual boundaries.

Dining etiquette was lecture style, then eat. Quite useful course, but it's a bit too expensive liao I feel. Went there with kang ning, and cindy's Iphone (or Ipod touch, but no difference anyway) kept us entertained while waiting for it to start! :) Cindy told us that her high score is genius I think, then kang ning tried playing and he nearly beat the high score.. hahas.. So I tried to give it a shot too! PFOOM. First time I jia lat, score quite low. But second time, I AM A CYBORG BRAIN!!! =) Which means I'm the top scorer. hehe.

Then aven came and we were talking quite a lot throughout the etiquette course. I rmb him commenting about a lot of things that the etiquette conductor said. LOL. quite funny. oh and do u know entree (pronounce it as on-tray, and not en-try) is the word for main course? BET U DONT KNOW RIGHT. learnt something new today? :) hahas.

The food was alright though. not a fan of tomato... so... but I bet alvin will scream and faint because the rice is wrapped in egg. yum ;), but yuck for him. hahas.

Anw, no fotos were taken during DE because very weird if I were to take pictures in the hall...

Then next, ice skating!!!

I have nil history of rollerblading or even having my legs on wheels. So ice skating is totally challenging and new to me. Hahas... Kang ning and I went to canteen and I unintentionally exposed daniel's magic trick (sorry daniel) and then met up with alvin before I ate my honeydew sago from the drinks stall! Aft that we changed and got onto the bus. The 3 of us were on the same bus... but suddenly a tchr came up the bus and said

"whoever name I read out stay in the bus, the names I never read out leave the bus and board the other bus"

=.=

guess who got chased out.

lol... Me and alvin both got kicked off, leaving kang ning stranded on the original bus alone.

Then on the bus I got bored because alvin was tired and he wanted to sleep, so here are some unglam shots of him:

Alvin having a nice sound sleep.

Actually not very sound lah.

Then soon we met again with kang ning when both our buses reached the place...... man i never knew katong have this cool place called katong leisure park, which is so near valhall! Went there and we were forced to purchase gloves which cost us $2.

After that we had to measure feet size and get blades. Me and alvin compared feet size before hand, and we same feet size... But the cock person gave alvin size 7.5 while he gave me size 6. I dun know why I stupidly not realize anything is wrong until I started skating and realising that my ice skates are too small for me ... Now my legs are filled with blisters and cuts. I def learnt my lesson...

L and A of the LAM club. Too bad wei hao is in the other ice skating session (theirs is morning one, ours is afternoon slot), or we could have had a LAM photo, hahas.

Kang ning!!!

Anyway, as expected, I sucked and failed totally in ice skating. Loolx20000. The first time I stepped onto the ice, I was so afraid the ice will just crack and I will just sink into this hole of water. Kang ning scolded me for thinking like this cos he keep saying below the ice is not water but ground... anyway, first round I followed chang da along the fringes of the ice skating course in an anti-clockwise manner, with my hands fixed on the sides all the time...

& at the end of the course, I only learnt how to walk on the ice and stand up after falling... I NEVER LEARNT HOW TO GLIDE, because I'm too noob to raise my leg when I skate liao... =( Nvm, next time I will def go back to the place to learn how to glide. =D

Angie!! She was the one who guided me throughout most of the ice skating. Hahahas. Thx for the help yo, appreciate it :) :) :)

I wished terence was in this picture too. hahas.

Anw, after feeling fab I couldnt go for floorball training because I had rash outbreak and it's really very sad... Speaking of rash outbreak, I will come to that now..

CGH RASH APPOINTMENT + BIO PRACTICAL

Wednesday I had CGH rash appointment with the specialist at 350. Supposed to have bio make up practical for my class frm 230-330, but I sure CMI if I go at 230. So me and chris told mrs cheng and she just dragged us into a class and asked us to do our experiment. !_!

We were totally unprepared.. lol. The class is s35, and there's 2 empty seats and luckily one is next to corliss! Was really relieved to see her. Hahas, lucky got her to help me explain what to do in the experiment... or I sure blur blur and cock the whole thing up. Lol. I think I still cocked the whole thing up though...

But the bad part is when corliss' class left, me and chris were just halfway through our experiment when s37 came in cos its their lab session! Which means our alocated timeslot of 1 hr and 10 mins is cut in between 2 classes. So some ppl were staring at us and wondering why we were here....... hahas. Quite bad, but nvm.. Oh and I took/stole the small container thing from corliss' original experiment container after she left to use becuase they only provide 3 each but the exp requires 5. LOL. So when the guy sat next to me at corliss' seat, I paisehly dumped the contents of 2 containers into the sink and put it into the experiment container without him noticing! HAHA.

Ok so finished lab and went to CGH. Wah, I was quite pissed with them actually. First they make me wear a mask. Ok its a good thing to be cautious because H1N1 is really scary, but it makes my mood kind of low compared to not wearing mask... actually this is not the main point, the main point is I came at 330 when my appt is at 350, but at 430 it hasnt reached my turn, so I freaked out a little as I have lessons at somerset at 530, and I went to the counter to ask why it is taking so long. and the woman at the counter told me I still have to wait 1/2 hr!!! my original doctor is taking forever to see his patients and so they shuffled me to another doctor after I complained that I am in a rush, and the new doctor is quite useless and he did not help me much at all. zZz. total waste of time. & i completely skipped the pharmacy, had no time to collect my medicine. to be honest I am angry because CGH made me waste my time and rush into doing bio prac with 2 other classes when I can actually do it with my class, and also the stupid mask stinks quite badly after wearing it for awhile!!! imagine the smell, =.=.=

Oh but I made it for my class in the end. :)

GIIS Interact Club Installation

We're invited for this interact club installation of the new exco of global indian international sch at queenstown! Me and aven went together, and were amongst the 6 guests that attended... hahas. The school was rather ulu, or in fact, VERY ulu. We were lost for quite a moment, but thanks to my great navigation skills by roughly remembering a map of the area at queenstown mrt, we found it!!!

My CCK kids HGL - aven too. He is the only friend I have whose surname is too. So cool rite?

Anyway, I can see that a lot of effort is put into the installation. The indian dance performances were great, I think the dancers really placed a lot of effort in preparing for it.. =) & the light lighting ceremony is cool too. The speeches are boring though... but then again, which speeches are ever interesting? (:

On our way home, I took aven's phone and took some photos:

LOL I SET THIS AS AVEN'S DP but he changed it away =.=

HAHA I LIKE TAKING PHOTOS OF MY FRIENDS SLEEPING. beware hor ;)

Anyway I shall post about National day celebrations on 7/8/09 in the next post on national day.. =)

August

2009-08-02T07:33:00.000-07:00

Hey all, I decided to make a new blog again! Please re link if you haven't.. :)

It's the month of august already, which means national day is coming soon. Hahas, I just love NDP every year because I love seeing the army march and form the NDP words every single year. The airplanes, PDS drills and commander shouting also gets me excited every single year. My aim is to get to perform in a NDP parade next time when I'm in the army!

This year's NDP song is especially nice too. Never had singapore have such a nice NDP song since reach out for the skies by taufik and rui en. 2006-2008 ones are quite bad I think... lol. 2009 owns.

I shall keep this first post short and sweet.

Huge smiles.
LEON :D
