i am scared about things i cannot predict, and things i cannot control.

removed my other 2 wisdom teeth today by extraction.

was conscious the whole time.

not a very pleasant experience as they took some time to remove. according to the dentist, the roots were quite thick and embedded deep in my gums so it took some heavy twisting and turning of the teeth before they came out.

luckily they numbed my jaw so all i felt was a lot of pressure, but no pain except when my cheek was pulled aside to reach the teeth.

i brought my ipod but the earphones fell out halfway through the extraction so i heard all the gruesome noises -_-

although i very nearly cried from fright in the dentist chair, i am proud to say i survived!

here's an xray of my mouth taken before the wisdom teeth (circled) were removed.



am glad its over and done with!!!!!!!!

finally have all my referee reports in.
now need to find some time to go down to the post office to get them registered and mailed.

i am just glad that the hardest part is over, and i sure hope that the universities' response will be positive!

if i have to go through the whole process again i think i will jump off a building.

it kinda sounds cliche, but i need to leave singapore in order to find myself in australia.

applications are a long, tedious process and if im successful for even just one of them, i am going to be tremendously happy.

life is just too unpredictable and aimless at the moment. it'd be nice to know that im gonna spend the next 2 years studying. at least then there is something to commit to, something to work for.

so today its the start of chinese new year and valentines day.

both days mean nothing to me.

people would ask, 'but what about the hong baos? money lei.'

please, spare me all the social interaction. you can keep your money.

spare me all the ladies carrying bouquets of flowers while the flower sellers laugh their way to the bank.

call me cynical, i dont really care.

chinese new year = 2 extra days of rest of me. and i think thats all that really matters.

PERCY JACKSON AND THE LIGHTNING THIEF KICKED ASS!

finally a good show after numerous mediocre ones!

it was almost as good as the dark knight, imo. and it sure helped cheer me up after a day of dealing with hyper active, restless and playful kids. too bad they didnt have it in 3D, cos the graphics were really good!

next up - alice in wonderland in 3D! and this time im booking tickets. dont want to end up waiting 2 weeks just to watch the show (like avatar).

i just have to get thru tmr and long weekends here i come!

am still debating whether to pluck my wisdom teeth directly after cny. but i havent made any appointment yet..

Monday, February 08, 2010

i really just feel like quitting my job.

later today i need to go to jurong.
tmr i need to go sengkang and thomson.

why cant i just have a peaceful week?
im sick and tired of travelling all around singapore.

just praying that there wont be any last minute surprises for the rest of the week.

fed up.
