today might be the worst day of my life ever. i had a bloody toothache at night. and i was in great pain lah. cannot sleep. and the hot blinking weather is just not helping. so, i decided to go to the dentist today, this morning to get rid of the pain. as you can see, i am never a big fan of pain.


so, i went to the dentist. i innitally wanted to go to NUH Dentist but the traveling and all that.. too much effort. so i went to Vista Dental Clinic in Chua Chu Kang Central. the dentist was nice lah. gentle and all.. and guess what? after a proper checking ( i have not been to the dentist like forever, say 2 years at least?), he said, my teeth is in a okay situation except for 3 teeth. it was decaying (opps, sweet tooth), and one has completely crashed and burn and cracked and destroyed. so, final verdict, i need 2 root canal, 1 extraction and 2 crowns.
i know, so much, so drastic. i could almost cry there. in pain, in my teeth, in my heart and in my wallet. and its gonna cost me $1200.00 . that is like my whole month's pay lah. i was very unsure but i was so desperate to get rid of the pain that i just said ok. plus, i dont need to pay all in 1 shot. so, today, they did a root canal on my lower teeth. it was bloody painful lah. they gave me anesthesia, and i cannot feel half of my face. my lips were numb, and i am salivating lah. like one bloody big baby. and i paid $500 bucks today. haiz. i am officially bankrupt. bills and dentist bills kills me this month. there goes my social life this month. oh oh, the whole procedure will take me 2 months. can you imagine. i am going to the dentist every 2 weeks for the next 2 months. sigh.......................
so anyways, i am in great pain now while i am typing this. urgh... and i am broke. and my birth anniversary is coming up. what a luck.. what a journey.....
donation anyone? to Feed Mus Fund.... any amount counts!

anyways, i had a lazy saturday. woke up late, laze around. had my coffee, then fall asleep again about 12.. and only to be woken up by some random number on my phone at about 2-ish. i know i shouldnt habe picked it up. oh well, its my in-charged from camp lah. he said i was being mobilised and i need to report to camp by 4pm. like 2 pm and repost at 4 pm. a bit tight eh? plus, i need to wear my ever ugly uniform and packed my bag. you know, i have to packed things that is suppose to carry me through war? or something. so, take cab lah. u think i will go out in my uniform and travel all the way from chua chu kang to selarang (changi/pasir ris)? damn far lah... so annoying!!!
anyways, it was weird. i meet my old new camp mates. we booked in. they scanned out ICs and then they checked our bag and make sure we met the neccessary requirement. an hour later, after all the checking, we are allowed to went home. after and hour. like even with cab, i need 30 mins to travel. there for an hour, then go home. another 30 mins. plus, its not cheap lah. 25 each way. like.. wtf????
anyways, reached home, i just realised i have made plans with Rinaz that we are suppose to go for a baby shower for our collegue. in boon lay. sheeesh, i completely forgot about it. and i haven't even bought presents. its like so rushing lah... run here, run there.. so, anyways, we made it. late. as always. and it was fun.
proud mama...

proud parents and a smiling me.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . .
then, after the baby shower, i met up with anna and diana. and we went to simpang bedok to eat fored oyster cake and bar chor mee.... tasty lah. and cheap too. and i feel, from my opinion, they sell the best home-made ice lemon tea there. the best thirst quencher.. and cheap too.. so shiok lah! then after that, we were all quite bored, and i was carrying my new SLR camera, so we decided to go to east coast and can whore. hahaha... the best thing to do to topped the day. cam whoring. the weather was perfect lah. nice breeze. just lacking bubbles to complete the whole experience. hahaha... lucky
so, there u go. i still cannot believe i was summoned to camp that afternoon.
yummy right? damn nice lah. JUICY!
the first batch of the fried oyster was too burnt. taste like shit. so we asked for a new one. lucky they didnt make noise. i got camera lor.. the power of media..

last sunday, was songkran. its the thai new year. and annually, we were invited by the thai temple in chua chu kang to perform on the temple ground for good authentic thai food and "good merits". i mean, we are the fabulous people that will make the festival more festive. so, why not. it was damn fun lah. i was prepared this year to be bombarded and getting splashed on, (which i was and i was soaked to my underwear!) sheeesh, i had to walk home from the temple.. thank god i live quite close. i am sure no cab would want to take me.. i am like a freaking snail.. i leave a trail of water when i walk pass....
the temple gate... damn glam lah.. very glitzy.
chang chang chang chang... (elephants in thai)
and so, the procession starts from outside of the temple ground. with money tree and lots of music and dancing. these thai singaporean really know how to rock up a procession lah.. chingay might want to learn something from these people...

and thats me after the procession. no no, the watetr splashing have not started yet..

and who can forget the ever gorgiss ms tiffany kay from north carolina, representing Ms Texes, USA.. she is kinda pissed that she got too wet during songkran. too unglam for her lah.. miss universe u know, sayshay. waves.

the monks, are evil. they use water hose and hose at me lah. then sit there and expected not to get wet? like people are splashing water on them like a target board lah. i should have make a counter and ask for 50 cents for every water splashing. i would be rich by now.
oh, and there is a lot of dancing and dancing while the ensemble plays the music. very festive.
the evil girl with a water gun. evil evil!!
more small children. evil lor. make me wet. and knowing that i am holding an electronic device, still want to splash..

yes, i was noy noy noy-ing with the chulas. no, not the regular
cholas (term used from
http://www.dlisted.com/) from the great america, its chula, as in Chulalongkorn University. they came and visit and conquered the thai music scene for 2 weeks and i get to play with them. it was fun. i mean not everyday you the chance to play with real musicians and having the thai ambassador come watching you. ok, not everyday, but at least once a year. hahaha. so, it was fun. was done at the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music. nice building. nice acoustic rooms too..
anyways, photos below. oh, my NUS Thai music ensemble also made like its own "promotional photos", like you know, if you want to use or photos for publicity, its that few photos. ownself made. so hence, the mid professioanl quality. hahaha....
the chula's, in pink!


thats me, playing the ranaat thum..
me and koong, my thai music teacher.
more of me, as always. i always looks spastic when i play music.. sigh..




and that is after the concert. we need to move back the instruments back to our music room by ourself. can you imagine? like, over the hills and down the plains just to sent the instruments back? why must NUS be so hilly?
and thats me with koong's tail from teh dance costume. feeling "manoorah*".
*Also known simply as nora, this is Southern Thailand’s equivalent to Li-khe and the oldest surviving Thai dance-drama. The basic story line bears some similarities to the Ramayana. In this case the protagonist, Prince Suthon, set off to rescue the kidnapped Manohra, a kinnari or women-bird princess.
and me again, doing the beyonce-shake-your-booty-thingy in "crazy in love". uh-huh, uh-huh...

i know, so much, so drastic. i could almost cry there. in pain, in my teeth, in my heart and in my wallet. and its gonna cost me $1200.00 . that is like my whole month's pay lah. i was very unsure but i was so desperate to get rid of the pain that i just said ok. plus, i dont need to pay all in 1 shot. so, today, they did a root canal on my lower teeth. it was bloody painful lah. they gave me anesthesia, and i cannot feel half of my face. my lips were numb, and i am salivating lah. like one bloody big baby. and i paid $500 bucks today. haiz. i am officially bankrupt. bills and dentist bills kills me this month. there goes my social life this month. oh oh, the whole procedure will take me 2 months. can you imagine. i am going to the dentist every 2 weeks for the next 2 months. sigh.......................
