Its been a pretty exciting week, that is, I THINK i haven't really done much studying... Mainly focusing on bio and hitting it, then maybe I'll stop having the feeling that Mrs Foo is breathing down my neck for being an S1.

Ahhh... so many people came n tagged on the xin xian blog! =) so touched, our blog has been thoroughly swept clean... Thanks phoon for telling me where to put my pics... Didn't know my phone was so pro-ed also =Pp BHB. And also to wei quan for repairing the damage done to it...

On Friday Maurice (who lives about a minutes walk away) came to practise fencing using our plastic blades.... My accuracy is like *bleep* sighz. Yeah anyway quite fun lar... haha... then talked a lot. Then my brother, sabreur as he was, asked to fence with me, then maurice helped us preside. I won 12-10.. so many simou hits. Then he kept slashing me lar.... Haiyo, my chest had a massive red cross on it not unlike the England flag..

Saturday was Under No Roof. I must admit when I woke up at 5.30 in the morning after 5 hours sleep (haven't recovered from SJ camp loh!) I was scolding myself for volunteering for the duty. Hey I almost walked through the glass shower screen... Then went to Tankong Pagar, n I paired with SiHui... she's not FAC, but still a capable first aider (our certificates don't expire till 2006). JiaYan was also there... offered her one of our armbands but she didn't want... haha... Trina was also there, back from her ODAC trip... she's like so so busy, dunno where she gets all the energy from, with mid years on top of that... Anyway for the first 7 hours of the day SiHui and I, stationed in Bestway itself, did everything EXCEPT first aid... Helped them set up soup kitchen, tie streamers, carry food, tables, chairs blahblah. Thank goodness for the 1.5L bottles. Only at 2 pm we got our first casualty, an abraision case, quickly treated by us. Next were a couple of minor incised cuts and a splinter... How SiHui got the splinter out I don't know, it was so deep.

Oh yar, during lunch time... I was sitting at the side of the line murmuring "Finish your banana, don't choke, finish your banana, don't choke, finsh...." like a computerized parrot when I suddenly just conked out and fell asleep, much to the amusement of the people around me. Sighzz.... so paiseh...

At around 5 the rest of the first aiders pushed of first.... I stayed a while more cos I wasn't feeling to happy... wanted to hang around my friends a while more... plus by bitter experience anything can happen right to the end of a duty.... Recall Red Swastika Sports Meet 2003, Lay Theng and I were supervising the rest of the cadets to pack up, and we were just lounging there, then during the prize presentation a little girl fell down and tore her palm open on a metal spar, just as we thought everything was over... Talked to JiaYan and Trina yup.... then pushed off home...

Today was another exciting day, went to get my crown, that is, for my tooth... When I was a teeny little kid (I stayed teeny, i.e. below 145 cm until i was in sec. 3) I had serious asthma, and so took steroids to stay healthy or something, which caused some of my teeth to deform, that is, they were structurally weaker than the rest, or hypoplastic, in the parlance of the dental field. When it was discovered by the National Dental Centre people all of them pushed for them to be extracted and braces put in, even though under ordinary circumstances, my teeth were ok and didn't need braces... huh, try to cheat our money only... Anyway, got a second opinion with my father's dentist, a Dr Aaron Seow, who said a crown would suffice for the most serious one.

Today, with the skill of an artist, he injected my mouth with a strong anaesthetic (which put it to sleep for the whole morning) and proceeded to shatter the fragile tooth with a series of drills. The hypoplastic tooth was no competition and gave way with frightening ease...took a few moulds n then I got a temporary crown... it didn't hurt at all, although it was difficult to talk or drink for the rest of the morning due to one side of my face being numbed.

Anyway yar, just a post of sheerrrrr boreeedom!! I totally don't want to study... and now must devote some attention to chuaH who is suan-ing me online... ok, gotta go now..
