Somewhere in between

19/7/11: Met up with Shiya, Amalina and Atiqah at Clementi Mall for lunch at Seoul Garden! Shiya, Ama and I met up earlier to buy a belated birthday present for Ati and after that we went to the library to write on the pretty birthday card which Shiya had made. By then, we were kinda hungry so we decided to go to Seoul Garden first. Atiqah was super late and by the time she had reached, we had been eating for an hour and a half! Was really full. The soup was too salty and so the vegetables and mushrooms were too salty as well, so we diluted the soup by adding ice cubes. Hahaha it was really funny.

We surprised Ati with her present! Yay. Then we decided to go to HomeTeamNS for a game of bowling. We went to the Bukit Batok clubhouse or whatever it's called at first, but there were too many people so we walked to the 188 bus stop. While walking, we reminisced about the past - the good ol' days in St. John. Hahaha. Talking about all the stupid, random and funny things that we did or had to do, triggered all kinds of memories which were buried deep inside my mind and had never left me. We were laughing so hard and it was so fun.

Bowling was fun too. During one round, I bowled a strike and went back to them saying "Yay, happy liao!" and they were like, "Why?" and I was like, "You missed it!". Hahaha so funny! They weren't paying attention! Anyway I had a dental appointment at 5pm but since my mother was late so I thought I could be late too. After bowling, I met my mum and we went to the dental clinic but as since we'd missed the appointment we rescheduled it to be on Thursday instead.

21/7/11: My dental appointment was in the morning. I had to visit the dentist because when I was eating Pringles (Original flavour - my favourite, because it's so salty), there was a sudden pain on the left side of my mouth as I munched on the potato chips. I stopped eating Pringles because it was too painful, and my mother had immediately arranged an appointment with the dental clinic. I went to look at my teeth in the mirror and realised that the tooth which had root canal treatment done on, had turned grey.

So anyway, the dentist said that because root canal treatment was done, it was normal for the colour of that tooth to change because the blood supply to that tooth had been removed. But my tooth was painful because the fillings came out and there was again a hole in my tooth or something. I already knew this since I could feel it with my tongue. So they did an X-ray on that tooth and it wasn't that bad so they just filled it up but if the fillings come out again, I would have to visit some specialist and have the whole procedure done again or something.

Then I had lunch with mum (could only eat on the right side of my mouth) and went to NUS for registration day.

22/7/11: Met up with Lynn, Xueying, Yingwei and Justin! I came directly from giving tuition so I was early and had to wait. The rest (except Lynn) met up first at Starbucks so that we could write our wishes to her and stick it onto the birthday card Justin had made. Then we went to find Lynn and we went to Suntec City's Kenny Rogers for dinner. There was a bookshelf in the restaurant and we were so entertained by the shelves of random and interesting books. Haha. Then Justin disappeared and we finished almost all our food until he reappeared with a small slice of strawberry cake for Lynn! By then, we were stuffed. Walked around for a bit and visited a pet shop with lots of cute hamsters and rabbits!

23/7/11: Went to Vivocity to find Michelle and the bunch of people who surprised her! There were friends from her workplace and JC I think. I only knew Jack and Leongyew, obviously. Haha. Only hung around for a bit while she the rest of her dares. Jack and Leongyew had to leave and I went to watch the movie, "Bridesmaids".

24/7/11: Gave 3 lessons in one day. So horrible and tiring! Yet kinda fun.
25/7/11: PJC wasted my time. They told me to go back to school for some photoshoot thing which was so lame because they just took one picture of me and I could leave. I should've said that I wasn't free!

26-28/7/11: Went for FASS Orientation talks with Lynn and Elena! The talks on the first day were useful since it was about the curriculum and about using the system to bid for modules. Talks on the second day were lame since it was about the different subjects and it was somewhat like the talks they had at the FASS open house. The third day was kinda lame too, since I thought they'd teach us how to bid at the bidding clinic but we pretty much figured everything out by ourselves. And I have my econs and history exposure modules pre-allocated to me at 1 bid point each, so yay!

26/7/11: After the orientation talks, I went to meet my mum at Outram Park MRT station and we walked to SGH. Visited my grandpa at the ICU and talked to my aunts. The doctor came by and told us that ah gong could be moved back to the general ward the next day. Yay! Had dinner at the kopitiam there and my uncle came by after work. When my mum and I left the ward, two of my uncle's friends had arrived. As we walked past, one of them (the woman) asked my uncle, "Is that your mum?"

WHAT AN INSULT TO MY MOTHER! :(
Especially since my uncle looks older than my mother. So mean.

27/7/11: Went to Bugis with Nureen after the orientation talks! Shopped at Bugis Street. We were going for dinner when this guy from Prudential stopped us. He wanted to do a quick survey which would last 5 minutes, but it became a 45 minute talk instead. Oh well, no time to eat before tuition. But at least he was kinda nice and funny.

29/7/11: Tuition was cancelled. Watched "Captain America: The First Avenger" at Lot 1.

Omg school is starting soon. I don't want school to start. Actually I used to say that I wanted school to start but now that it's starting so soon, I don't want. So scary. I can't believe that I'm going to a university. It sounds like a big deal. (Even though it isn't) It sounds like a place with matured people. (I know this isn't true either, but still) I don't know what I'm saying.

FAKE FANS

I was waiting in line for 188 at the HarbourFront bus interchange just now and I overheard this really stupid conversation these 3 random girls were having in front of me. Okay, one of them didn't really talk much so it was just Girl A and Girl B. Their conversation went something like this:

Girl A: ...After Prisoner of Azkaban, there was...

Girl B: The Goblet of Fire.

Girl A: Yeah! And after that it was-

Girl B: Hey was there like, the Half-Blood Prince?

Girl A: Yeah there was! I read the book! It was about-

Girl B: There was a movie on the Half-Blood Prince right?

Girl A: There was? No, there wasn't! I would've seen it if there was!

Girl B: There was! What was it about anyway?

Girl A: It was the one where that dude dies, right?

(I couldn't bear to listen to their dumb conversation, so I tuned out. A while later...)

Girl A: Was that the one where he met Tom Riddle?


OMG I COULDN'T STAND IT. Those girls talked as if they are Harry Potter fans when they sound so FAKE. And it's plain stupid to think that they didn't make a movie out of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and just skipped to the Deathly Hallows. (It's probably normal to not have an impression of the movie though, since Harry Potter movies never live up to the standards of the book.) And that girl even claimed to have read the book. She was probably staring at the pages and thinking of nail polish or something. And for goodness sake, Tom Riddle is Voldemort! Harry Potter meets and fights Lord Voldemort in some way in almost every book/movie! (Except maybe in the Prisoner of Azkaban)

These girls don't know what they are talking about at all. I don't know why they bother.

Update: I've got 124 pokes on Facebook!

Excited!

I'm flying off to Hong Kong tomorrow! YAY! Will be back on Friday.
