Chocolate(y)

Sunny Day

The foot is not getting any better. Now that I am limping, there is no more motivation to get up from the seat. It's another excuse to get lazy at the same time playing the sick role. In fact, I don't get much priviledge from that, haizz... I still went working despite limping to the office. I still travelled for the talk and had to endure an hour of standing. I changed the office setting this morning so I wouldn't need to stand up every now and then.

After taken some pain relief and anti-inflammatory agent, I am slowly settling down. Having my cuppa hot chocolate and oreos is like having an orgasm, ahahhahahha (pardon the language for those below 18). I was just so craving for chocolates. FYI, I am a choco person instead of coffee. It feels so good everytime I take chocolate. But lately I was avoiding it coz too much sweetness is not good for the body. Anyways, sick people can have whatever they want. Ahahahha... if I don't spoil myself, who else would.

Okay, some pictures taken during yesterday's event at the district hall.

Let's start with this aspirant sajak reader from a chinese school. Not bad for a young lady.

Then, comes the choir group of lil kids. They are so cute la... esp that small boy in the center and that girl trying to reach the mic. They were shouting all the way, but in a cute manner. Kidss..

Cultural dance was up next. The costumes are so pretty.

It's getting more colourful

Finally, the choral speaking team. I was surprised that many people didn't know what choral speaking is all about. This team literally went up to the state level and got 2nd-runners-up. Well done. They did very well for their age. It reminds me of my school days. I was part of the school choral speaking team. We went up to 1st-runners-up at the state level. So, I am a lil more passionate than others during this session. We trained so hard, yes, very hard during the choral speaking time. I remember I had to quietly escaped from training because I had to train for the school debating team as well. I was the 1st and last speaker of the school team. So, it was really tough juggling both at one time coz the choral speaking teacher was like so darn fierce, she would throw away anything in her hand when she was upset, for instance when she found out we went for debate training session.

How can we miss the healthy foods..

PS: I find that I blog even more when I am stressed out, gosh, I better concentrate doing things that I should do

So pain o...

Sunny Day

It really didn't deem right to blog today. Anyway, I can't upload the pictures taken from the event this morning.

I am still experiencing pain from the flu jab yesterday. It's kinda tender but there is no skin changes. So I guess it will heal very soon. It's just that, the left arm is feeling a lil stiff everytime I lifted up the arm. Ok, but there is another place where the pain is even more.

Let me introduce Mr.Left foot. While training today, my left foot suddenly got twisted after a heavy landing and sustained partial dislocation. I sat down and kinda reduced back the bones but the pain is so intense now. I can see the swelling and a lil worried if there was comminuted fracture. I can passively move the toes with limitations due to the pain but not on active movements.

The neighbour is moving in today. I could hear the drilling into the wall as early as 6am this morning. Must be a last-minute job la. Perhaps it's a fine selected day for moving in today especially for the Chinese (I really don't know) but it doesn't seem right for me. Left foot injury and kinda boring whole morning. Take your pick. So, I did speak to the neighbour a lil today. Mainly to the wife (I guess) but the men appeared to be more shy than I thought, haizzz (shaking head)

Oh yes. Almost forgotten to mention. That old aunty who was all the time so kind to me came to visit me in the office. She brought along some cookies. The afternoon wasn't busy at all. So, I spent some time sitting next to her and chatted with her. She is so old already. The wrinkles and drooping eyelids had certainly portrayed her age. But she is still walking strong. I told her that I felt shy everytime she brought something for me as I have nothing to give in return. But she was nice. She told me that she thought of me when she passed by my office and remembered how I looked while holding a bread running up and down at work. I have to confess that those days I was really busy at work. Never had time to drink nor eat. But her thought was really kind. Remind me that there are still people out there who care for me.

After a short chat, she excused herself as she didn't wanna interrupt my work. And then her shadow slowly disappeared from the view. The staff were teasing me. So, I contributed the cookies for our tea time tomorrow. We'll see how it goes. Okay...gonna prepare the presentation for tomorrow. Glad that I've found the reference online. Also, the training will resume only next Monday, at least now I have plenty time to recuperate. Friday is a public holiday afterall. Hooray!!

Hiao or not..

Sunny Day

The renovation is still going on. I saw a few unfamiliar faces around the neighbourhood today and I was really tired to give any response. I was only able to put up a smile and walked into the house. Maybe they were my soon to be neighbour, too many of them, I have no idea who were the workers and who was the family. Let it be coz time will slowly tell.

Again, I was exhausted today. Not because of my work but becoz of some silly chores, like dealing with the volleyball team. Haiizzz, no comments, I don't care anymore. Wasting my time and energy. Then, 2 letters came to the desk. 1 invitation for a talk this Thursday by another health group support and another supposed to be from an NGO. Waking up early tomorrow coz leaving for another town to attend a Healthy Eating event. I have no idea what am I going to do there. I REALLY HAVE NO IDEA =_=. Probably going to waste some energy and time. I so not into this coz I am so busy lately, I just want more rest and to do my stuff. Oh, yea. I have so many obligations to attend to including my personal stuff of course.

I still remember when I was in school, I grabbed every opportunity to join the societies and clubs. But at the same time, I wouldn't compromise on my studies as well la. But nowadays, the responsibilities that come with every post that I am holding in the society is kinda tearing me apart. Everyone has different needs, and I am supposed to look into every one of them. Hmm... I am feeling a lil nerve wrecking here, ahahahhaa...(see, I can't even laugh sanely now =_=!) Ok, I will survive. Siapa makan cili, dia lah yang terasa. Now I am feeling a lil hot already, hehe. Yes, who ask to be so hiao...accept so many posts. Whatever la, I'll do what I can and I know I can do better.

So much so on the dilemma, finally I got a jap of flu vaccine. Argghhh... I didn't know I could be so baby. Screaming a lil for attention, muahahha... but hey, it hurts kay... just a lil la. That's why lor... When lack of attention, some people tend to become attention seekers lo. Oh yea, I need so much attention now coz I am simply STRESSED OUT! Now I am feeling a lil unwell, maybe the side effects of the vaccine. Don't get mixed up k. This is not that vaccine for the current outbreak of flu virus from Mexico. This strain is not covered.

Okay.. going shower now.

Rats and Food

Rainy morning

Well, I am going to talk on rats and food in this entry. No, not ratatouille again. Nothing near, not at all.

Let's talk about rats. A very quick subject, comes out at night for food with powerful sharp teeth. Haizz... There were two rats fell down from the sky last night. Just right in front of me. Haizz... What do you expect me to do in the middle of the night. Chased them out lor... 1 was trapped and the other ran into the room and never be seen. I thought the story ended there when I locked the door and stuffed some paper underneath the door, but to my horror this morning, there were wood particles spreading everywhere on the floor and the paper was gone! IT escaped.

.

Before you make any judgment that the house is not clean, I really beg your pardon. I blame it on the neighbour who harboured these rats all the while and finally they roamed about because the new neighbour is moving in and renovation is under progress, literally clearing the whole house. Oh, I forgot to tell that my old neighbour had moved out. So sad...got to acclamatize with new people whom so far don't seem to be soooo approachable, perhaps time didn't match.

.

So, this morning, first thing in the mind was: RAT POISON!!! Arghh...you guys forced me into this. I wouldn't believe if it wasn't my own eyes. I was all the time suspecting the lizards were eating up my stuff for the past few days when I was away. I knew they were nasty but this time, I thought they went crazy and wild having a party with my food. I didn't know the lizards could actually bite open plastics and create super holes here and there but again, I have not seen any rats in the house before, so they were totally not on my list. Poor lizards got accused until I saw for myself these RATS!!! Outrageous rats, st*pid rats, crazy rats, %*##* rats!!! Argghh...

.

Okay, calm down. Let's move to the other topic which is food. Yummy. I was reading on some blogs last night on foods. I was so impressed that there are bloggers out there who would share their recipes, inspirations and experience with others. Way to go. By looking at those pictures, I was already salivating. So, I saw one of those pasta pictures. Looked delicious. I was not a fan of capsicum, but alang alang, because I wanted to try so much on western cuisine, I bought some capsicum too... There you go. I had lunch with pasta and night with noodle "ala ala mat the salleh". Ahahahha...

.

FYI, all these while, I looked at the pictures rather than the recipe for cooking coz it's really difficult to get those ingredients here. Furthermore, I don't go for artificial seasoning, I am more of a nature fan, hehe... Oh yea, I see some saliva drooling already. But 1 thing very funny, despite me liking to cook, I've never thought of being a cook.

.

Shhh... Mr.Rat is spying for food now. Oh no, Mrs. Rat is tagging along. I better pretend not to see THEM. Okay gotta go..shh...

.

Lunch: Seafood pasta

Mixed grilled seafood and chicken noodles

NARCOlepsy

No, it wasn't a love bite. No, it wasn't a pinched mark(not even by those errie kinda stuff....). Just a simple bruise over the forearm. Why did I post it here? Got it 5 days ago from a volleyball session and still not improving! Argghh...not really tender. But that's so obvious o....

Ok, so much on the bruise. Let's move on to something more educational.

It was a tough day. I was so busy at work that the moment I got home, quickly I went for a shower and headed to bed. Straight away I dozed off. Slowly I slipped into a dream. Very odd dream. There was a commotion. There was a girl standing by the window on a tall building. She was threatening to jump off the building while she was weeping. Suddenly, another girl came from nowhere went into the picture and directly climbed on the window and told everyone "good bye". She then jumped off the building without any delay. It's like less than 2 seconds. No time for everyone to think, nor put on a reaction. The shock just sent the adrenaline up to the spine, and I woke up. I was there looking at the darkness in the room. A dream! What a relief. I tried to move the limbs, but I couldn't! As if the soul was trapped in a motionless body. What happened?? It was a terrified feeling. The heart was pounding fast. It lasted for 2 whole minutes. Suddenly, my eyes just opened. Gosh, was it a dream after a dream? I tried to move the limbs this time and I could.

The next day I woke up early as usual. I could barely recall the event coz I was busy since the start of the day. But I had been feeling tired. Sleepy all the time. If not because of the work itself, I could've slept right on the couch in the office. But no, I was dealing with human. During lunch time, I went home. Again, tired. Took a nap...yes ..a whole 1 hour nap. Still tired after waking up. This is not something new for me. It's been there since young. I recall one event when I fell asleep in the middle of the night, suddenly hearing someone banged on the door which was facing my back. My bro was lying just next to me, in fact he was facing me. The loud bang was terrifying and I wasn't dare to look back coz what's on earth trying to bang the door in the middle of the night! Or maybe it's a thieve or robber? It took me 2 minutes to stay in the same infantile position and then, I heard nothing. Quiet and calm. I was trying to move and look back but I couldn't move! Gosh! What happened. I could only open my eyes. Then slowly after 5 minutes, my limbs started moving and I checked on the room, there wasn't any sign of entry and everything was in order.

Narcolepsy. This word I've known for quite sometime but I'd never really looked into it. Is it just as simple as being sleepy all the time? In fact there is more to it. I've just read more in depth about narcolepsy, a chronic sleep disorder characterized by cataplexy(muscle weakness), sleep paralysis(inability to talk or move while waking), hypnagogic hallucinations(vivid frightening dream-like experiences while sleeping,etc) and automatic behaviour. Very jargons right? Go and check out the web for further understanding coz it's so difficult to explain in such a short entry.



My eyes are complaining now. It seems like having draught here. Warm and dry for the past few days. Better go bed now. Nite nite

Back again

Sunny Day

Lethargic (tired). A word describes all. Rushing back to work and realized that everything was waiting to be done. 3 hours of driving oo..Haizz...I could've simply requested for an off day. Then, there was another meeting to attend. A moral support group for BF. Late for half an hour, beg your pardon, but I was simply trying so hard to see as many clients as I could before leaving for the meeting.

Slowly, I gotta know about the support group and decided to give a booster dose of confidence to the committee members. It's kinda NGO thingy involving the community, and as usual, the ppl are still lack of confidence running the group. Well, at least this time we had come up with some agendas for the whole year. And yes, I am the sole male member in the group. Feel like becoming more and more aunty already, hahhahahaha... The irony is that, I am holding the highest post, as the advisory panel of the group. Whatever, as long as it benefits the people (community), I don't mind spending some time and energy in this.

Let's talk abit on the hotel that I stayed over the past 2 nights. 1st time experience with Mercure (I think it's the AEON group comprising of Novotel, Ibis, etc) Correct me if it wasn't. Nice new building but a lil further from the main town. But hey, you have a big MALL right next to it. So easy access to entertainment and foods. Felt so guilty yesterday coz having KFC. Well, that's what happening when I was sooo tired, and anything fast shall do. Then, went for a movie on Langkasuka, thai epic movie. For me, it's kinda interesting. I've been so impressed with the thai culture and in this movie depicts various races, characters, story lines, and many action stuns. Very universal and cultural.

Flat screen tv

Oh ok. Diverted abit. Back to the hotel. Small room but kinda cozy. A lil sexy coz the bathroom is see-through, meaning you can watch tv while bathing or looking into the bathroom while lying on the bed. Very simple and modern. Cost, a lil costly if comparing the size of the room. Imperial has the same setting and the same price but more spacious. I like the shampoo, body wash and lotion, very aromatous. The door a lil outta control, it banged everytime you lost the grip of the handle. Wall between rooms are not sound-proof. The phone ringing next door can easily be heard. Breakfast, so so.... Not very variety, continental a lil and asian a lil. Only got scrambled eggs but no other choices except boiled eggs. Swimming pool is indoor, small and so boring. The only consolation is the connection to the Mall, fast and easy. Parking a big NO. Always occupied and I had to pay 5bucks for jockey.

TV and bathroom

Okla..so tired d. Until then, adios.

Sports meeting

Sunny Day

Great day for training! Okay, let me recap what happened today in a nutshell. Busy busy in the morning as usual. No water supply, no time even to go for a pee, see how busy it could be. Well, thanks to my last week absence, work had been piling up. Rushed for the sports meeting in the afternoon. Great, all the senior citizens were there having meeting. I was exhausted and speechless literally. Though I felt honoured to accept the post as the vice-president of the sports council here, but the conventional management of the council had made me go speechless.

I know the system was there years ago, probably before I was even born yet. I know they are just so experienced in conducting this council, but really I beg to differ. They are generating funds from the membership fees. Full stop! Duh.. and they claimed they were so serious at running this council and when there was a problem, they blamed on the financial constraint the council faced. But did anyone think of generating income from other sources whole year long instead of using the funds to fund the sports expenditure? This is a council, we can generate income in other means and save it for future use or buy more equipments to improve the sports quality. Go organize internal events, encourage local talents, etc.

No, the council only became active during the external event which is probably once a year, and then go quiet till next year. Yes, I did voice that out, but guess what...90% only saw the coming event and not the future events. Why do we need to raise fund la...no time for that, bla bla bla... When speak of their rights, ohhh.... they wanted to be excused from work an hour earlier so that they could seriously train for the event. Duh... I don't see why we should neglect our work just because you want to train so hard. Guess what, everyone arrived at 530pm, see what I mean?

As for my staff, they have been quite discipline. I told them, they should change half hour earlier and leave by 5pm sharp. They did and they didn't skip work though. Again, these veterans la (I mean those in the committee for sometime) think that we, the young ones know what la, know nothing, as if our presence threatens their tradisional ways of management. I am not impressed at all. So, be my guest...do what you do best, may the council sleep in peace, lol... I have more things to deal with besides that. Anyways, I have my own team to deal with, so let's just concentrate on that.

Oh yea, I am travelling tomorrow. Dunno why, but felt a lil excited. Booked this hotel, kinda new in town. Gonna go and rest on the nice bed while watching tv for the whole night. Maybe try to catch a movie at the Mall. Fred suggested for seafood in town. Maybe I'll ask if Shah wanted to join me for seafood dinner tomorrow or maybe Nurul. I have lost 2kgs, small achievement but hey in a month time! Lots of veges and fruits will just do that.

So exhausted now already. A lil lazy to pack the clothes. Going light this time. Shouldn't be a problem if packing tomorrow before leaving. Wow... did I just say recap in a nutshell. Surely had gone over quota, hehe... Okay, time to rest now.

Adios

A day of community work

Extreme Sunny Day

There we were this morning, that is.

Got up this morning at 6am, yes, darn early eh? On a weekend somemore. The driver actually came to pick me up at 7pm, therefore, had sometime to prepare. Well, this time our community event is near one of our substations, organized by the staff there with the support of the local community.

River near the backyard

Logs nicely arranged

I would say that the response wasn't that encouraging. When we arrived, there wasn't anyone yet. People were taking their sweet time to come over when my eyes were already half dreamy, hehe. The river at the back was a nice hang out indeed. The extreme hot weather had compelled me to spend sometime at the river.

Puffy puffy eyes, I was simply exhausted and sleepy. Slept late the night before.

I was actually invited the very last minute. And after 30mins, people started to come over. The place was not really well-organized. This reflects the very last minute arrangement by the staff, a desperate attempt to reach out the community I guess, which I have no objections but reaching the target is what I am concern of.

People registering

Simple cooking

I was the only attending male present that morning. So, I had to watch out what I said to them, hehe..na..I am always standing by the ladies, ceh, not true, not true. It's sorta ladies' day, concerning of women's health. Seems like the guys have no concern at all, and there were times I was teasing them, as if the guys sleep all the time at home, leaving the ladies to care for themselves. Slowly but steadily, the number of attendees rose, one by one they walked in after we had just started. Speaking of discipline (*shaking head..*)

People were listening

So much more to learn.. xiao mei mei

Guess what for? No prize for guessing right, hehe..

The weather was really unbearable. It felt like burning under the skin. So, quickly I went to dip myself (naked limbs only la..) in the river to cool down abit. Hmm...what a beautiful river. Wanna listen to the sound of the river? I got it recorded, perhaps you can use it to cool down your mood sometimes, hehe.

Before

After, yay...so clean already

Tomorrow I have the whole day for myself. Time to do a lil bit of laundry and cleaning. Next week will be away for 2 nights, so need to clean abit la. Lotsa meetings as well, gee... everything cramped in a week. The night has come. The sky is slowly changing hues from orangy clear sky to darkness already. Time certainly moving fast. Another entry is written here again.

I Dreamed A Dream

Cloudy Day

I just thought that this video was stunning. Tried to embed but not able to. Just click on it if you haven't done so. Nice one.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxPZh4AnWyk

The blonde judge was stunning as well. Wonder what's her name, hehe. Tomorrow having a community event. Gonna wake up early as well. I know...it's a weekend, but that's how supportive I am ay... Looked at the organization chart yesterday to see how many ppl are actually working with me. There are more than 40, or was it 60 of them. Gee...that's a huge number to take care of. But it's fun!

Made a hotel reservation this afternoon for a course next week. Shah is not going, after a last minute decision, ceh...so I have to drive alone. Though it's only a day course, I am gonna stay for 2 nights coz the road would be so packed. The phone network in the office was not working. Glad that someone came over to repair and only my room get to make calls now, coz it's so essential for the work. No, I am not a telemarketeer, hehe.

Nora gave a call to Idy after the volleyball training. Idy used to join us for practice before she left for another state to work. Guess she was missing us here. And she being a sporting one as well, it has become so quiet without her presence. I remember we going picnic near the river, sang in the karaoke, playing sports together, had fun, eating steamboat, etc. But that's life lor... Here I come, there you go.

So much so on that, what do you think about the above video? Amazing huh?

Weather report

?Sunny Day

No, it wasn't a typo error. The reason I put on the question mark before the weather report mostly because I hardly had the time to walk out the office the whole day. The day started very challenging as people were seen flooding the office waiting even before my arrival. A sense of panic suddenly felt behind the spine. All in all, I had only 30mins for lunch break and rest before the work continued till 15 mins after the usual office hours. So, I really have no idea if it rained during the day.

I have no complaints, coz it feels so much better today compared the past few days. I feel less dependant on the previous sense of attachment. I am getting slowly settling at my routine pace. Though the weather seemed grey in the evening but it has not rained yet compared to last evening when our training was cancelled due to the 'on-time' raining from 5 till 7pm, right on the dot of our training hours, ceh....

As long as I feel better emotionally, I dun mind being a lil exhausted. Sometimes, exhaustion can divert your feelings or attention to some other more important stuff. Having said that, the long rest last evening was really a helpful one and I started to think if the exhaustion that contributed to the mixed feelings after camp. Okay, sounds abit paradoxical, whatever...as long as I feel better now, I dun care more, hehe...

I find many people especially my close friends are having depressive moments very frequently. Some really became so down that I couldn't really recognize them at all. Sounds scary. Is it infectious or is the environment today predispose us to a greater risk for depression? Hmm something to ponder about.

Time for beddie now. Training tomorrow evening and then another community event on the weekend. Need lotsa energy! Yay, keep it up, baby...

Life is not about owning the moment forever

Well, I am back as promised. The 3-hour journey home wasn't an easy one. I was having motion sickness all the way and I guess the inadequate sleeping time for the past few days had made it worse.

Anyways. Although the mood was elated this morning, it had changed its direction when I stepped out of the course building. I know i know. I was complaining of not wanting to go travel in this month, but I have learnt so much and got to know so many acquaintance in such a short time. The building had housed us for the past 5 days and I had spent these 5 days with a group of wonderful people from a very different background.

Though sleeping in a dorm, yes, a huge dorm, going to bed at 12am and waking up at 430am in the morning repeatedly, we had come so close that there was no more barrier in speaking out our minds. I felt so priviledged to have a wonderful time but no, I have no pictures to show coz I didn't take any. Perhaps I should let the memories fade away with time coz yearning for this moment can be torturing. Yes, I know this feeling is temporary after getting back to the routine lifestyle with the routine people I meet everyday.

So now, it's a transition. I have come to a conclusion that meeting and departing is not an easy thing though it will happen off and on in our lives. The only thing left is the memories. Perhaps I have put too much feelings or emotions with this group of people. And I know this is the first and perhaps the last time we gonna meet although we had exchanged contacts. The truth is, we all are busy with our lives. I've learnt to put things down slowly and learnt to accept it.

I could see Mr.Yini, our facilitator was so much attached to us even only with us for 2 whole days. He was really supportive. What about us who had spent 5 days together sharing our thoughts, working together, trekking together, learning together, singing together and eating together. We were so supportive of each other. We worked so well to accomplish our assigned challenges and we were so excited celebrating on our double victory yesterday. Perhaps, that's what lacking in my life. Emotional support!

My eyes are so heavy now. The mood has not much improved. Perhaps it's not a better night to write a lot. The chinese proverb says: Life is not about OWNING the moment FOREVER, but to have EXPERIENCED the moment that counts. I shall unload this feeling before going to bed tonight as tomorrow has still alot to do.

Will be right back

This morning woke up a lil late despite sleeping early last night hoping to do the last minute packing early this morning. Whatever. It's done now. Still have maybe 15 mins to rest abit before embarking the journey. It wasn't a fun feeling this time. Dunno why. Rather to stay home and rest throughout the weekend.

Making a move now. Enjoy your holiday, guys. Afterall it's a Gd Friday.

Take care and will be back right after.

Speechless..

Rainy day

The day was fine although a lil more hectic. But it ended up spoilt after a phone conversation this evening.

Haiz...dun wanna talk about it la. Life is full of ghosts haunting wherever you go.

Nite nite

Push..push..

Rainy Day

Breathe in, breathe out, breathe in, breathe out....

Dun get it wrong! No labour in progress yet, lol...(wa..can laugh somemore)

This month's schedule is so tight. Need to loosen up the tie abit. Didn't notice that I was taking in so many appointments just this month. Volleyball training resumes this week. Will be away for a week-long course, so the training will be interrupted. Then, there are 4 talks, 2 campaigns coming up, 1 AGM meeting for BF society, 1-day course in another town (rejected a 3-day course earlier) and ...wat else ha? Cannot remember already. I find it really funny. Invitations will just flood in last minute, and I am supposed to be multicentric, hehe... Coz on top of that, I have an office to run.

Ok, a friend kinda told me that guys are not gd at multitasking, so I am actually struggling by just looking at the appointment book. Another funny thing, I dun look at the appointment book all the time (:p) coz whenever I look into it, I got so stressed out. So I'll peep once a while, hehe. But when the time comes, things will definitely get settled. If not, just close one eyes lor..(no la, joking)

Travelling day tomorrow. Need to rest early. Nite nite.

An evening at the dentist

Rainy day

ARRrrr....

Saw the letter on the desk this morning dated 3rd March 2009, another notice to attend a meeting at another town today. So last minute again decision. Travelling sometimes make me sick, no, I mean physically I am prone to motion sickness especially lately.

Then I thought it would be a chance to visit ma dentist friend in the town again. Well, I'd always wanted to scale the teeth coz there was quite alot of $#@#$ and sometimes with gum bleeding. The plan has never succeeded becoz I was all the time working and there would hardly be time to visit a dentist in another town. My dentist friends have been kind enough to offer me an immediate scaling whenever I drop by their town. One thing that YH wouldn't want to do: Not by a friend who is a dentist, ew....

The last attempt was last month when I was supposed to see Leen at a further town since I was sent for a course there. I was late, indeed very late after work and rushing in the rain. So, finally, I called her up and told her I wouldn't make it on that day. And yes, I did it this very evening after the meeting. That one also rushing right after the meeting when the boss said, "ok, thanks for coming."

The rain then started to pour like sooooo hard, harder than you may think. So, there I was, sitting on a patient's foldable chair. The last time I had scaling was 5 years ago. Ng had his done last month and he warned of the sentivity of the teeth may become. Dun drink tea or coffee coz they stain the teeth. Ouch, bleeding plus plus. That picture was playing on my mind when Eva put the spot light onto my oral cavity.

Gentle ya

With a gulp, I was saying, "you will do it gently right?". Noticed me being worried, Eva assured me that she would be extra gentle. The whole session lasted 15mins but it felt like 1hour though. Considering opening your mouth all the time with instruments in and out, you just wanted it to be done soon. Then, a sudden hmmm...came from her. What? I couldn't ask coz the mouth was occupied and I didn't want to interrupt her work. We did 3 times, and finally, she said: done! Floss your teeth and come back in 6 months time.

Gee..I was so glad it's done. Nicely done. Can feel some gaps in between teeth as if breathing through it. But it's clean now. No more hard calculus. It was 5pm already, she had another patient to see. We chatted a while and I had to leave also because the driver was waiting. The rain is still pouring at this time of writing. Seems like the rainy season is back.

Some pictures were taken during the visit to the cultural festivity. Fun but so packed!



Bo kian siao...(tak tau malu,hehe)


Waa...char sau, ppl's favourite

Not flower pots k, they are used to keep rice wine for happy hours! (you know what I mean)

Wee hours

Rainy day

Indeed. It's the wee hours of the day. The rain has once again brought down the temperature to less than 30 degrees tonight. Cool huh. Nice to go under the quilt and just sleep off. Just came out from shower. The water was like freezing cold, brr...

Finished work out like 1 and half hours ago. Then hooked on the pc and read on an interesting piece of somebody's blog (blog hopping again, not kepo k). Well, it's kinda interesting once a while to read on some stranger's blog and started to know that person like reading his/her diary (in a legal way la). I guess it's part of an entertainment (educational one) for me. I like the way the author writes and how emotions were translated into words. It's always nice to know that someone at the other corner of the world has actually the same thinking like you do. Conclusion, there are still many nice people out there. So, keep on searching k.

Gotta wake up early tomorrow. Sounds like Ah Soh, but really, I need to pick the hse abit and do the laundry coz next week I'll be leaving town again. And thanks to the concern suggestions of friends on getting a maid to do the stuff (as if they are paying for it, lol). Well, I've thought so, but I just dun wanna get lazy. It's not difficult, just the matter of timing. I guess if I spend less time online, I could even do more stuff outside, hehe.

The night is not young anymore. Time to go to bed now...

What a talk!

Rainy day

Finally, after many days of draught, the sky decided to pay a lil sympathy towards the drying fields and cracking lands. It was 7pm, after the carom game, there was a sudden downpour outside. Everyone was relief, yet cautious coz this might turn to be another episode of flood!

Well, as for me, I'd welcome the rain although it poured at the very wrong time when I was about to leave the carom game for home. Nevertheless, that short downpour has certainly brought down the temperature a lil and easing the rest tonight. Afterall it's weekend!

There is a feast at the local cultural house where pageants and local delicacies are displayed. I heard si Jacklyn is participating the pageant. Shar is going tomorrow as the standby paramedic and invited me to join. I've in fact heard bout it this morning from the driver when he was driving me to the talk this so the very early morning (pardon ma english, coz it's really b...dy early) I slept late to prepare for the talk, so of coz ma mood was a lil...or let's put it this way, sensitive(wink wink). But I did pull it off so nicely, that one thing was so fun! The crowd was the largest thus far for me to handle a talk. I was sooo excited ( I know it sounds insane, but I was excited indeed) esp when the mic was in the hand. Mic was working, I knew I nailed it, hehe. And it went like a life telecast forum as some of the staff were literally recording the talk. Ah..nevermind. Maybe I was just over the top and hallucinating, hehe.

Ok, received an order yesterday to attend a compulsory kinda national course next week. Again, need to be away from home. Argghh... Whatever la. I am just hoping the ONE ABOVE will be kind enough to let me through successfully all the hardships I am working on now.

The rain outside has stopped. My eyes are sooo tired. I can't think much for now except that the night is still young, and the heart is so wild. Still refuse to sleep a...
