so much for the wisdom teeth extraction scare~ -.-"
the whole process was painless! the operation part i mean. but it was a violent operation. got plenty of drilling and blood and knife and 3 catridges of anaesthetic, my mouth was super numb until i cant spill my water on the basin ... it shoots to the floor! haha ... my dentist say that the operation was a tough one ... i can tell! he was sweating profusely and most of the time standing up, his face peering into my mouth, hand yanking the wisdom teeth out! i kept my wisdom teeth for keepsake ... they are humongous! and their roots actually curl ... like a girl dress like that ...
so ppl! those who scared of wisdom teeth extraction ... do not be afraid! its almost painless!
*phew~~~ i got v scared at first cuz benjamin was gushing how the dentist will drill and stuff, and mr tong mention that he was hospitalised when he extract his wisdom teeth, and reg mention that without wisdom teeth, one become more stupid* (haha! that's why i keep my wisdom teeth with me!)
my appetite was totally unaffected! like totally~~~ i was eating like nobody's business!! to think that i could use the opportunity to actually go on a short period of diet-ing ... hao shi bai ah!!! :/
should be coming back to work tmr ... i can simply start today .. but i tot my swollen cheeks and my disgusting smile is simple tooooo UNPRESENTABLE! i got an image to uphold!
"swollen cheeks, swollen cheeks, pls de-swell!" :D
reading thru my past essays (for scholarship, uni admission etc) the topic of racial identity struck me again ... been thinking whether everyone who look at me actually DO have a mental note that, "she is not singaporean. she is indonesian. but she is chinese. she is a foreigner ..."
rmb-ering about boon and ivy, 2 ppl from different origins, i admit i had that thought of,"wow ... they are so different, inter-racial relationship ... how it start man?!" haha funny rite ... sometimes i just forget that me too are not considered LOCAL. lately, so many ppl ask me bout where i come from. the construction workers at lvl 10 asked me, the taxi drivers asked me, new friends asked me ... i wonder whether they will be bias if they know that i'm not LOCAL. again, i gave that sneaky look, smiled and say, "i'm super mixed! got china, taiwan, japan, indo origins ..." could have easily added that i'm also hong-kish, vietnam-ish, thai-ish, afro-ish and korean-ish ... haha ... all the possibilities!
i know at indo, the normal indo ppl treat the chinese indo differently. i feel that until now, both indos just dont mix together, like oil and water. then the question is ... whether the singapore pink card holders .. do have that same impression of me ..
dont get me wrong, i love my frens! they have been really great, friendly and supportive .. but i really want to know whether there is such a barrier that differentiate me and the rest. i wonder who will be able to tell me the truth about this fact ... hmmmm ... gd question to ponder eh?
what happen if someday, i change my blue ic to the pink one ... and marry a singaporean ... lol! i nv even thought of that yet! is hdb, cpf, medisave, erp ... really my thing?
someone mention over msn few days ago ...
me: haha .. i really have plenty of stories to tell huh?
someone: yeah, perhaps its cuz you are not local. your tradition abit different from here. so all your stories are really amusing
(pls note that the convo is not quote-to-quote ... but otherwise have the same effect)
that someone dont mean harm at all ... just a side track i guess ... but poof it proves my point about that biasness and barrier ...
can the world be one day soooo GLOBALIZED that the word ORIGIN doesnt matter any more?
~L is for the way you LOOK at me...~
*pondering*

hey hey ... been a long long long time since i post something here ... too busy larh - my life
i heard that our class is the top class for 2006 A LEVEL EXAM in njc ...
100% 3As
24 out of 28 05s17 students 4As
mr lim must be super proud of us! i wonder whether the school will increase his pay or something ... :)
was rather numb, and felt very calm throughout friday ... except when
1. hsiao wei (who is late) suddenly rush in and pointed out to everyone who and who got 4As ... not mentioning me, manda and cheryl's names ... then cheryl freak out and start crying ... ah yo ... wasted the tears for nothing man! haha :)
2. i saw YAWEN'S RESULTS!!!!! omg~~~ i'm like super happy .. she got an A for her biology!!!! gosh gosh gosh!!!! the feeling was estactic .. crazy .. delirious .. unthinkable! for once, i really felt, "boy, i'm doing good. i'm making a difference in another's life ..." is super fantastic feeling can ... that .. I BROKE DOWN AND CRY! gosh so embarrasing .. i was practically bawling! ha-ha-ha :/
everyone who saw me tot i cried for my results .. NO SHIT! i cried for my dearest sister results! :) really proud of her ... and really proud of myself :) that's the magic of helping others ...
i guess the feeling cant be sooooo easily describe with words alone ... only me and you! will know what happens yup yup?
other than that ... i have been promoted to lvl 11 at work ... but it was a sad/depressing move to lvl 11 ... me, yumi nanako(my new colleague! she from indo, her mum is jap, her dad is chinese ... she say i'm v funny -.- and we gossip in indo like mad!!), jayanthi felt super unwanted at lvl 11 ... we got to share photocopying machine, printer etc ... sad :/ the workload is getting crazier on my side ... cuz my new colleagues still make a lot of mistakes in their work .. so i have to check, recheck, help them ... i think if i was solo like last time ... things will be carried out sooo much faster.
the gd thing is that now i am now closer to manda, brynjal (ben), wani and all the other temp staffs ... the past 2 days was really fun teasing brynjal aka banana aka benjamin (: then calling manda FREAK! hahaha ... really enjoyed myself ... :) felt like for once, lunch is becoming more alive and more forward looking!
anywayz .. i'm going to extract my wisdom teeth on wednesday!!! ouch~~~~ going to have swollen cheeks, fever and what nots -.- regina said that without wisdom teeth .. a person will become stupider -.- i hope not! i still want my wisdom! haha ~~~ oh well see how larh. maybe too pain then i dont need to come to work! lol .. i want to see how the billing dept can survive without me ... oh yeah KIMMY GOH (FINANCE DIRECTOR) actually praises me! lol .. wat a miracle siah ... she recognise that i'm the only person who understand the working of billing dept and credit control ... she want me to extent ... i'm giving second tots on that ... i really want to try working at BEN AND JERRY or any hawt&chick FOOD OUTLETS! :) :) :)
oh yes .. you know wat, i had my PRINCETON interview over the phone at 11 pm! lol ... crazy rite? and its super surprise surprise kinda call! my siblings were spouting vulgaraties at that point of time somemore! crazy .. the interviewer was impressed with my life i think .. haha .. hope everything goes well then ... :D

this finally marks the end of our JC life .. haiz ..
dont you just feel so OLD.
esp when you work with all those 20+, 30+ ppl ... just makes you even older!!!
hmm ..
OMG today .. quite a freaky day!
just like any other day .. sittin in front of comp doing work,
listening to music ....
suddenly i felt as though someone was playin with my hair la
ok-ay! frantically looks ard .. who is that person(!!!) so daring ...
go play with my hair!
NO ONE .. gosh .. feelin rather stupid then ... i turned back to resume work.
THEN i had this weird sensation ....
my head was spinning .. i felt like i was sawyin in circles VIGOROUSLY!!!!
oh my ... had this weird feelin that i was going to faint
(esp when i had been having dizzy spells the past few days)
wah .. i tot i was suffering from sth seriously sick & fatal ... bleah!
why was my head swimmin???
thankfully my colleague brought me back to reality.
he shouted super LOUDLY wif this horrified look on his face: "the ground is shaking!"
Apparently, there was this earthquake in sumatra & we can feel the tremors.
haha .. lookin back at this scene ... it does seem really hilarious! it seemed as though he was acting in some drama-mama-serial. poof ...
then all my colleagues started to leave the building ...
i was too stunned to move la! i dont want to leave w/o my valuables & the part-timer frens here :( they were still happily msn-ing away to each other about the tremors felt la.
lol .. i tot IT dept was kiasu! but oh-no! corporate ser/com there was even more kanjiong
kan-jiong-spiders ... wahhaha .. they took all their belongings to leave. Finance best la .. stay behind count money still .. haha .. so money-minded!
hmm .. the tremors came not only once but twice. really huge waves & long-lasting. haha .. my colleagues so scared that they took the lift all & down soo many times. tink they took the lift more often than me for today at least .. i tot i was the record breaker la .. haiz .. they beat me to it -.-"
this comes from steph: "tell you something funny, you know AVIVA (INSURANCE COMPANY) ? I tried calling them .. then voice msg say, "Due to the Sumatra Earthquake and Safety of our employees, Aviva has closed for the day" hmm .. lucky ppl!
wat an event! an least sth different happened in our otherwise mundane lives. yesh ...
