I shall now officially declare that wisdom tooth extraction is one of the most painful ordeals of my life. Arghhhh. The period right after the numbness has subsided is the worst period. And I'm currently going through that period now. Damn. Not only do I have a headache, my stomach's feeling queasy and the pain is excruciating! And the blood just keeps flowing out despite me biting on the guaze for the past few hours and changing it every now and then. I am practically 'eating' my blood now. It's super gross and I guess the taste is the one that's making my stomach queasy. Yucks to the max.
The process of extraction, though not the worst period, is not that good either. It didn't turn out the way I expected though. I thought it would be just any simple extraction. You sit there and wait for your turn and when they call you, you just go into the room and have your tooth extracted. But hell no. I was asked to change out of all my clothes (including the insides) and wear a robe and their slippers. Then the nurse passed me a rubberband and asked me to tie my hair. Thanks ah. Rubberband is super painful and bad to the hair can. Luckily I bought my own proper one and told her I would use mine instead. She had to verify if there are any metal stuff on my rubberband. Lol. Then she brought me into the operating rooms. I was asked a few silly questions. Haha. I know they are essential but they are really silly. Stuff like: What are you here for? Whose signature is this? (Points to my mum's one) And whose signature is this? (Points to my own one) and so on. And I was asked a few times on the same questions somemore -_- by different people. Then I was 'escorted' into the operating room. Haha. I didn't know such a simple extraction would seem so 'major' that I actually had to go into a real operating room with all the lights and machines and whatsoever. I don't know if I'm exaggerating but I really only expected a chair that can be reclined and a dentist. That's all. But there were nurses in the room, the main surgeon and the assistant one. They strapped me onto the bed and wrapped the blood pressure thing around my arm. I could hear my heartbeat from the machine. Haha. And it's not consistent one lo. They were periods when there were no sound. I thought I had the ability to stop my heart from beating and I even tried a few ways to see if it really worked. Haha. But too bad the stopping periods were irregular and not according to my 'actions'. Lol. At first I was feeling alright. But when the nurses kept asking me to relax, I became more and more nervous. When I saw the two surgeons walking in, I could already hear my heart beating faster in the background. Haha. Shit so embarrassing. Means they all know that I'm very nervous even though I tried to appear calm on the surface. The surgeon even asked if I'm scared and I still replied a no confidently. And there my heartbeat was, going faster in the background. HAHA. Damn. Anyway, he started off with injecting the anesthetic thing into my gums. And he didn't even gave any warning. He just flashed the syringe with the super long needle right in front of my face and asked me to open my mouth. Lol GG already. Basically it was painful lah. And i can feel him piercing the needle though my gums and a tinge of numbness was felt. After injecting a few times, the numbness started coming into effect. I was left lying there for a few minutes and it's certainly not the part which I liked at all. I can hardly feel anything on the right side of my mouth. But I can feel that my saliva is accumulating there and it's so dammit uncomfortable! I tried to swallow a few times but I swallowed the anesthetic thing in as well. Such a horrible taste. And I just prayed that the surgeon would come and operate on me immediately. Finally the operation began. My eyes were covered from the light and only my mouth was exposed to them. Basically I couldn't feel anything except that I knew he used some cutting thing to cut my gums. I can feel the vibration. He sliced my bottom tooth into three parts. Haha. And before I knew it, he said "Your bottom tooth is removed already." I was like huh so fast? I couldn't even feel anything being pulled out from my gums. Haha. My upper tooth was removed even faster. I just felt some force and before I knew it again, he said that it's removed already. HAHA. Thank God for the numbness. The entire process was completed in less than ten minutes? And I could hear them talking in the background: Woah this time very fast leh. LOL. I wonder if it's good or bad. Then my blood just kept gushing out non-stop. I was asked to bite on a guaze to stop the flow. I didn't even know if i bit it or not cos I can't feel anything. Haha. My right lower cheek was numb all the way. The numbness only subsided like now and that's why I can feel the pain already. And I was given four kinds of medicine which I had to eat for at least twice a day for five days. Argh this sucks man.
Okay my stomach's feeling queasy again. Tried to eat something to drown the taste of my blood but it doesn't seem to be working. Yucks. I really hope I do not have to remove the wisdom tooth on the left side cos it's definitely not a good feeling and I really hate this period of time now!! It's worse than putting on braces. And no one's at home to comfort me! HAHA. How I wish you were by my side now. Oh well. Jiayou to myself! I can and will hang in there for the next few days! :D

You must be surprised that I still bothered to come back here to blog. Frankly speaking, I've actually given up on blogging since I don't really find any point in it. Oh well, just a sudden urge to blog about the many recent events that have happened. Shall not go into the details but I'll summarise as much as I can.
Finally cleared all the projects for this semester! Now looking back at it, I really wondered how I managed to get through this. At the beginning I was still complaining everywhere about how I am supposed to survive with the irritatingly irritating BIZ LAW ASSIGNMENT or the seemingly impossible projects of IT. Really glad that everything's over. At least for the projects. Now I just have two more hurdles to clear for this coming week before breaking to study for exams. Another oral presentation again!! And another FM quiz again!! Oh well, this is a repeat process anyway. Shall just let it come and go. Hopefully I won't screw my OA up again. -crosses fingers.
Back to my main point. Biz plan presentation ended successfully on friday, at least. I should say the three presenters really brought the class to life that day. Even marc low laughed with the class though I feel that our ideas really do seem ridiculous. And I should say our group was the most relaxed during the session. But just when I thought everything was alright, an email from marc low was sent to all our group members on saturday. And it read "I would like to give your group verbal feedback regarding your final biz plan proposal." That was when my heart sank. Haha. Okay too exaggerated. But I knew it won't be a good thing lah. Just hope it won't demoralise us too much. But anyway, I still enjoyed all our meetings together, with my wonderful groupmates!
Weiwei: the lame and the lame and the super lame one. She can just randomly stun us with her lame jokes. Haha.
Yu Ching: the leopard prints, the zip-bra and BOOMZ and SHINGZ. Thanks to her, I am now so 'into' the ris low trend. HAHA.
Mildred: the one who came up with the T-shirt idea! and all the cute names for the website features. And not forgetting her zai presentation, which left the class saying "orhhhhhhh.." at the end of it. Haha.
Chen Wee: the one who always get bullied, especially to clear our bowls after our meals everytime. HAHA. Poor thing xP
Really had a great time with you guys. Especially when we had our discussions at canteen B and we'll start singing along with the songs played over the broadcasting station and commenting about the DJs. Haha. And sorry for losing my temper at times. Though I know you all can't tell cos I don't show it. Haha.
Okay I'm falling asleep yet again. Shall stop here for now. Wonder when will my next post be. Haha. But don't bother to come back here frequently. Lol.$BlogItemBody$>

Yo. It's been almost a month since I was last here. Haha. The long awaited yet dreaded recess week is finally here! Long awaited cos I have been so busy with school stuff that I hardly had any leisure time. Now I can finally sit down and watch the television. I seriously think we will all be isolated from the outside world very soon. Whenever the tutors talk about any random news or happenings, we will just stare at each other with the huh look. Lol. And dreaded cos there are countless stuff to do during the week. Which means this will greatly decrease our time for entertainment. Don't know if we should feel slightly relieved or not. Both the business plan proposal and the biz law assignment's deadlines are pushed back one more week. But still, I'm so not positive about the blaw assignment. Just reading the questions will develop even more question marks in your head. I really don't like that module. It's interesting to study but definitely not good for any assignments or tests or exams. And speaking of comm fundamentals. I really wanna laugh at how slack our class is. Other classes have presented stories and newspaper articles but we haven't done any of those yet. Was prepared to present my newspaper article on wednesday but we spent too much time on one task that in the end the teacher gave up the idea of letting us present. LOL. Even though it should be better if we had presented, I still have a phobia of it cos of OP. And the business plan just immediately reminds me of PW and the urghhh written report. Can't believe that IT itself has three projects. We even have one for Microsoft Access -_- lol. But I think it's quite a cool application after trying out abit of it during class today. But so far I've enjoyed the project meetings. The people that I'm grouped with are all quite nice, and cooperative. Hope that this will last till the end of all the meetings. Haha.
Okay I'm quite tired now. Have been sleeping at 12 or 1 plus in hall everyday. Hardly had six hours of sleep. Lol. Need to replenish myself. Anyway, don't think I'll be back here so soon. The next time I will be back may be at the end of the semester. Don't know what I'll become. Ohwell. Shall be more positive. Jiayou all in their projects and assignments and tests and exams! We can do it ;D

Back in hall again. definitely not what i look forward to. i spent less than two full days at home this week. its sunday night and i'm back in hostel alr. and the reason? cos i dont wanna take public transport carrying so many things. lol. and i dont feel like riding to school too. i think im spoiling the bike lor. never even use much thats why i always have difficulty starting the engine everytime -_- so paiseh. that day i kept trying to kick-start the bike and the engine just refused to ignite, making me look like a thief who's trying to steal someone bike but cant seem to start the engine. and the banglas were staring (and laughing i bet) at me too. haha zz. now i just leave my bike at home and let my dad use it. which means now i cant afford to leave the hostel later for class alr. haha. usually when im gonna be late, i just ride my bike and chiong to class. oh well. i dont have time to maintain it anyway. so i decided to leave it with my dad. lol. and paiseh to those who wanted me to pillion them around ntu. cant pillion you guys anymore! unless i can find a time to ride to school. lol. anyway, i dont know why but i just feel that the time that i spent at home passes faster everytime. i wish i could stay there longer. i prefer my bed and pillow at home. i prefer to use my desktop at home. i prefer to bathe at home. and i MISS THE DAMN TV!! im like a frog in a well here lor. dont even know what tv programmes are showing now and im like so detached from the outside world. haha. why am i like saying all the bad stuff about hostel. lol. hostel is good in another way also lah. at least i dont have to squeeze on the bus early in the morning. BUT, the shuttle bus services in ntu are not very efficient either. especially bus C. it's always takes so long to come and it's always crowded. im always scared that i'll be late for lessons if i need to get to the south spine early in the morning. sometimes i would really prefer to walk there if i can. i ever walked once. from south spine back to hostel. its like the reduced version of pasir ris to boon lay. HAHA. nothing better to do..
okay i'm feeling abit sleepy already. still got lots of tutorial undone. i take damn long to complete one tutorial everytime. its so damn difficult and not straightforward at all!! especially business law. financial management is second to it. irritating calculations. lol. i kind of miss science now, especially chemistry. the other day when my brother asked me a question on mole concept, i could answer him straightaway confidently. and i cant believe i can still remember the atomic number and mass number of the first 20 elements. it's all because of my sec 1 chem teacher (which i forgot who she was already) who told us to memorise them. now it's like stuck in my brain alr. lol. not that i wanna boast but i really miss doing science. sometimes i would ask myself if i had really made the right choice of course. i would have put chemical engineering as my first choice unhesitantly if i had not heard rumours that straight As and a good cca record are needed to get in. when i heard that someone who didnt do very well actually got into that course, i really wished i could turn back time and remake my choice again. but all's too late now anyway. i should stop day-dreaming and prepare to face all the upcoming presentations. arghhh. i already had a bad experience from OP in project work last time and now i have to go through the process all over again. zz. and its not like i know my group members very well yet. i cant even remember some of their faces properly. luckily there's this guy who is in the same group as me for everything. cos he has the same timetable as me and we happen to be early for the first lesson of the classes and hence we sat together and so we formed groups together. haha. hopefully the rest of my groupmates are nice + friendly too.
okay its getting late. uhhh actually its not supposed to be 'late' in hostel now. i can still hear people talking loudly and laughing outside. im rather anti-social when it comes to late night gatherings. lol. i miss sleeping at 10! it feels good to sleep early you know. HAHA. fish leong's qing ge is playing on my music player now and it's making me emo. nice song really :) i love her songs man. i cant think of any songs of hers which i dont like. haha okay damn random. ahhhh shall go sleep soon. after playing mafia wars. HAHA. yet another week of school again. hope it can pass as quickly and as smoothly as how it did for the previous two weeks. wish me good luck! haha.
