Currently: listening to blog songs, eating Chocolate Wafer Sticks, and typing with one hand for an invisible audience.
Have been quite busy... going out with friends =D. Wouldn't have it any other way.
Had an experience of a lifetime taking the shuttle bus from Jurong East. Nah. The bus reminded me of the newer 174 buses. Your ears just get clogged up due to the vibration when the bus is stationery.
Anyway, we reached RWS-USS and saw this trademark UNIVERSAL globe. Seen the bigger and nicer version in the US. But I didn't take the opportunity the last time because I was basically sulking the whole trip then. However, I've been given a second chance, it seems. So this time in Universal Studios Singapore, I was determined to have a freaking good time! We missed the opportunity to take pictures with Mr Hershey though (haha).
When we went to queue up at around 7pm, the queue had decreased to 3/4 the displacement (no, not distance/length, you know how queues usually wind [say: whine-d] to save space, don't you?). The girl manning the queue told us "No guarantee of tickets". I spent almost $2 on transport, I wasn't going home without spending $5 on tickets! We got our tickets without trouble. Then we went to get popcorn. Caramel Crisp. I didn't get to try the CheeseCorn though. Anyway, the queue was totally stalled by the scarcity of popcorn.
And then we went into the park. The first thing that caught my eye was a guy holding a conical flask of some drink. No, not the guy, the flask. It was totally cute! I forgot to buy it! Argh! Oh well, it costs $9 and the drink is cola, if my memory doesn't fail me.
Took lots of pictures. I was glad my storybook came into use as a platform for the cameras, because I certainly didn't do any reading the whole trip!
Oh yes, it was that evening that I realised Nazar and Mr Pandian looks alike. And I do mean alike, alike. Even another student of his thought they looked alike. I only realised who he was after he asked me whether I was going back to KW. No, check that. I only realised who he was after we were on our ways. My processors must need some oiling.
We missed the 10.20pm bus to Jurong East, so we queued up for the 10.40pm bus for Tiong Bahru instead. Saw an old friend on the train. Chatted with her a bit, should have stayed longer though. She was nice to talk to. Bumped into a close friend while walking from the MRT station to the bus station as well (actually she grabbed my bag to stop me). =D The world is really so small.
Reached home and washed up. Resolved to sleep early to wake up for another outing the next day. I guess my definition of 'early' has become 2am.

Busy - Vivocity/Sentosa
Woke up at 9.20am the following morning. I was supposed to reach Vivocity level 3 at 11am. Ate till I-don't-know 9.50am? Then I was stuck in the bathroom for around 20min till 10.23am. Or did I leave home by 10.23am? Doesn't matter. I was late! Typical.
Got my chance to zi bi on the bus and train. But my fantasy of walking around in that state in Vivo before 11am that day has (of course) been crushed.
Met bossman before looking for D and milk at Bakerzin. D TOLD ME IT WAS BAKER'S INN. Hehe. Anyway, that day, I realise TK DOESN'T REPLY SMSES. *frowns*. Went off with pirates to look for food. Was fallowing pirates because he was walking as if he knew where he was going. My brain wasn't working, so I didn't lead him to Food Republic even though I knew he was going in the wrong direction. I thought he was looking for other food stores. Oh well, we eventually reached there. But we didn't get anything from there.
Went down to the atrium where eventually we met up with everyone, and where we met wil and cream. Took a group photo with pirates, who was in line for Hair for Hope 2010. Oh! I saw Adrian Pang on stage! Haha!
We got to Burger King to queue up for our lunch. It was dam full. We queued for almost as long as pirates. So we ended up waiting for him to go over to Sentosa as well. Oh, my supposedly more updated version of the EZ-Link card doesn't work at the Sentosa Express tap gates. Oh joy. I had to queue up for the paper card. And they had to wait, once more.
Anyway, we trekked to Siloso from Beach Station. Trekked being walked. Walked past Fish & Co. Fish & Co. being Oscar (a fish) & Co. Wow. How misleading can I be, right? Along the way, 2 umbrellas were brought out by 2 people who were going to get tanned eventually. That defies logic, but that's just human.
We had a beachfront view where we sat. Wasting no time, we immediately smothered ourselves in sunblock. Then we went frisbee-ing under the sun while milk stayed under the palm tree and took candid shots of us.
Lazed around a bit afterwards, finishing my burger. I detected no sand in it okay! Milk and pirates went and got us mineral water. Argh i forgot about paying them. I'll bet it costs a bomb, there being Sentosa and all that. We all know Sentosa water is superior to the other types of mineral water. Wow, that makes so much sense.
We eventually went into the sea (well, knee-deep into the water). It was heavenly (well, not really, but better than not being in the water). We eventually gathered and sat in the shade talking about nonsense and making sense.
I should have gotten jing to go out earlier. They reached so late that we already finished eating at Sushi Tei! I had my first taste of roe there. I am sorry to the people who are opposed to it, or are offended by it, but I found the taste good as expected. I must have smelled or tasted it when I was small, courtesy of my father of course. Expensive food is almost always introduced by him.
We took our last group photos of the day, and made our way home. Leaving jing, flaze, and pirates at Vivo. As always, pirates is nice enough to keep them company. I wasn't. I wanted to get home, bathe, and SLEEP. 2 days without 8 full hours of sleep each was taking its toll.
I couldn't get off the sofa after bathing. So I stay there until around 10pm, brushed my teeth, and knocked out... Until 1.55am when I woke up from a dream. What the hey?! My lips were chapped (and possibly bleeding), my body was stiff, and the room felt stuffy even with the air con on. The thing is, I didn't have a nightmare. The dream was just too weird, I guess. I don't remember the dream by now, of course. So I ended up reading manga from my phone till 4am. Wow. That's mainly because I got started on a new manga. Shoujo this time.

Wisdom halved
Round 2 is over. At least, I hope it is. My wound is still healing awfully slowly. Well at least I can clamp my teeth together on the left side with minimal biting now. But the drill wound is as bad as ever. It's like an ulcer that comes into contact with my long and sharp canine. It hurts to brush my teeth -.-. Anyway, halfway through surgery, after or when my tooth was being pulled out, i felt a sharp pain which wasn't unbearable. And I felt as though my jaw was being pushed to the right. I think they held my jaw the 1st time. Felt as though something broke there. Or maybe it was just the tooth. At least I saw that it looked whole. Wasn't in the state of mind and didn't have the will to talk to ask them for the tooth back home or anything. I ended up going to another dentist to ask about the bone near the extraction site. I hope I'm one of the lucky ones that have it heal in 1 or 2 weeks. I really don't want to go back after I remove my stitches.
Anyway, the bone totally made my first day of recovery unbearable. Didn't know if it was a bone. Just knew there was a pain like an ulcer near the back of my tongue. It hurt like mad to swallow that day. The second day, I got a little more accustomed to it, but I still couldn't move my tongue around much because of it. So eating became a huge problem. The first night was unbearable. Because I can't clamp my teeth together, I can't chew using even 1 side. I'm glad I had 1 large KFC whipped potato the second day (or was it night, and I only ate around the medium size). Had whipped potato again the 3rd night (finished it =D). And then I wanted whipped potatoes again the fourth day. I got porridge with hard food (that I would usually love). I thought I was able to chew well enough. I was wrong. I ended up chewing on my wound more times than I would like. Night was porridge again. Just like one of the meals for each of the previous days, it was blended. HAHAHA! It tastes ok actually. Because the taste is captured and it's easy to eat (i.e. just swallow). Had steamed egg too. It was ok, but quite a chore to eat, still.
On to the medicine. The antibiotics tablets are HUGE. Okay it's still swallow-able. But I need to concentrate to swallow. Yesterday, my concentration was broken by my dad who told me to gargle when I was battling with the bone near my tongue. I choked on the tablet. Thanks Dad -.-. My choking caused my wound to hurt. Urgh. At least now I've completed the whole course of antibiotics. Anyway, the painkillers prescribed became more a burden than a relief for this round. I had to eat to take painkillers. I didn't want to eat. So I only took painkillers twice this round. Saddens me that I can't stay up late at night the first night and watch TV while eating sugar-coated bread because I was hungry. I even bought bread when going home!
I am craving for all sorts of food!
