okay. So here I am. finally free. actually I was free last night. But sleepliness and tiredness got into me. So I decided to turnin early after becoming a housewife--doing all the household chores like cleaning the floor, mopping the floor, changing bedsheets...

but today, my mouth hurts badly. last night, i noticed there was more-than-usual bleeding. it got me quite worried. after that, i just felt pain in my mouth and alot of abrasions. i was afraid it wld be caused by bacteria on my teeth so i decided to go for a dental check-up today!

Wan ting also came along with me. thanks for your company girl! And it cost ALOT also. $65?!?! So after that, i called my mum and told her about it. And i received a scolding from her. ha. an exclamation on why it cost so much and why i decided to go for a dental check-up impromptu. well, but it was a good check-up. the dentist was caring and nice. keep assuring me to relax and not be so tensed up. yeah. oh well. got my teeth polished too though not super shiny white.

oh well. tat's about all for today. back track a little, on monday, I WORE A DRESS TO SCHOOL!! okay. it may sound like no big deal to some of you but it was a big deal to me! first time i wear a dress to lecture! it was scary too. when i enter the tut class and lecture venue, can feel ppl looking at me. and mind you, i'm in engine fac. so not many girls wear dresses wan. ha. so i'm one of the rare ones. so the reason behind me wearing a dress? Not that i'd a date but that my mum bought the dress for me and encouraged me to wear to lecture on monday. so just to make her happy lor. haha. below is a picture of how i look like!

well, i also went to school with a new haircut that day. so i was somewhat presenting a new image and style that monday! ha. some of my frens cannot recognise me till i greeted them. i think the hair was very different. short. change style. wan ting's first comment when she saw me "wah...so flowery". lol.

anyway, wearing the dress really makes me happier and more confident =) thanks ppl for your compliments! esp mark and yu xin. haha. hope to buy more dresses to wear to school and wear dresses more often! :)

wad else shall i mention after so long a break? During recess week, rather, during the weekends, i met up with Jie Ming. Yes. he's my 1e1/2e1 classmate! that one. somehow we were talking on msn then said we shld meet up over coffee and there we were! at coffee bean on sunday afternoon. i was craving for ice blended mocha anyway. and boy! it was a great meet-up! not only did i get to catch up with him, i was given a new perspective of him! jie ming has indeed changed alot! more gentlemanly. he doesn't mind paying for my coffee, he doesn't mind going arnd with me as i run my errands, companied me to the bus stop where i wait for my bus and even asked me to sms me once i've reached home safely. wow! it totally shocked me lah! but in a good way. i was very pleased, happy and pampered. haha. and another shocking thing is that i can't believe i sat down at the coffee bean for an hour plus talking! haha. so it was indeed a good chat and catch up esp over his studies and future. mm. looking fwd to seeing u in NBS, man! =)

back-tracking a bit more, i met zhen guang and jason ng on Friday night at clarke quay! it was grrrreat meeting the 2 of them again esp jason ng. i've seen zhen guang recently at OCS social night. and he owed me one night-out of drinking with jason ng. so i arranged for that fri night. was glad we went clarke quay. haven't been there for a long time and i had a new insight! i din noe there were so many expats in Singapore! esp caucasions! they just crowd at the bridge and sit anywhere and everywhere. wow! we met for late dinner at 8pm. and zg chose Billy Bombers (wow!). ex. but ok lah. still can afford. after that, we walked arnd the main area. showed jason the place inside. after tat, we headed to brewerks for a drink. i know brewerks is a beer place but i'm not for beers. so i still took my dose of liquor! but the noob me had to ask the waiter to explain all the cocktails. ha.

rmbing that i had gotten slpy the last time i took the wrong liquor, i chose something more familiar--vodka content inside. though it's very hard, i still can bear. and it's better than me getting into that kinda slpy state. not that the guys i'm with are not trust-worthy but that i definitely dun wanna be slpy and drowsy at clarke quay where there are alot of ppl. anyway, had a good drink and a good chat with the 2 of them. esp with jason whom much has happened.

after everything, we were shocked to realise time passed fast and it was 11.30pm. so i told them i want to leave cos i dun wanna miss my last bus. as we were walking to Central, i noticed the 190 bus. i just let it past in front of my eyes cos i thought there will be another bus. BUT I WAS WRONG! there wasn't! tat was the last bus! i was shocked! there were many Night-rider bus arnd but i hesistated boarding one cos none of the guys will be with me. so after thinking a while, i decided to take the bus with zg to his hse and wait for taxi there. at least zg will be with me.

so tat's wad we did. walked all the way, cross several streets, to the pitstop cafe area! that means raffles area! ha. the bus stop had many smokers but we just stood at one side where there's less smoke. well, it was a gd starting pt to tell zg my fears and concerns. thanks for listening pal! after that, the bus ride was a short trip since traffic was less. however, when i boarded the taxi at zg's hse there, the taxi had a strong stench of stale smoke! it was quite strong at first. yee.

so guess wad? after i reached home, my clothes and body totally reek of smoke! i was so shocked and disgusted! totally din like it! and i was so afraid to put the dress to the yard. i'm afraid my mum will question me and think too much. ha. but well, in the end, i still told her abt it. just that saying it nicely. ha. now i learn my lesson already. if possible, stay away from all the smoke. mm.

okay. so that's the end of that night-out. thanks guys! nxt up! my 3 Cs: Champagne grapes, confidence and complacency.

the last 2 Cs crossed my mind during my driving test. while waiting, i was wondering to myself if i'm ebing confident or complacent. i dunno which one. after taking the test twice previously (then), i think i'm confident. yet, i had to consistently remind myself not to be complacent. cos complacency can kill. so well, i dunno. until now, i still dunno but i guess it doesn't matter cos ultimately, just do your best during the test!

champagne grapes. ever heard of it? neither have i till i see it for myself and ate the fruit! it totally looks nice! i was totally shock when mum showed me and even lifted up the branch to reveal the bunch of grapes. and i really mean BUNCH! the grapes were also small and sweet. just pop them into my mouth! nice! =) it really looks like a typical grape picture. mm.

ok. on the last note, i actually wrote a poem last night. rare. got the inspiration again and can still have the skills to write. good. well, won't post it here. personal. it's in my diary. well, ok. i guess i'll end my post here then! ciao!
