Ageing at Warwick

Posted in
Just got back from Warwick Malaysian Night 2010. To be honest the show wasn't thaaat great. Halfway through the show I was thinking, 'really? did i look that bad when I was up there 2years go?'

Ahh. Went out to 'Hustle' yesterday. Girls' night out! We ended up leaving the party early and went to our flat for a midnight chitty-chatt session. The supposedly short sobering-up chat turned into a discussion about our past and future. That was when we realised that we are growing -old- 'why are we talking about this? kids talk about the future, only the old and wise reminiscence about their past'

True. Watching the dancers on stage today at Malaysian Night, I remember thinking how young they look. 3 years of education here really tortured us into grow up the speedy way. All of us. To prove this, let's look at a few pictures.


Orientation Time + First Year:


Me with dyed hair! Jess, Aaron at the back. T shirt at parties ahem ahem



Yup! Look at that :S





And now........

(you may notice the same people in some photos)


With the exception that Aaron + Heng yong still have the Asian flush problem... look at everyone else!





Need another prove?


We now even do proper food out! No longer being so broke after parties that we had to live on soy sauce and rice. (We don't do that often though, look at Aaron's concentration on trying to make sense of the menu)


So there. Ageing!

Wow. I may have gotten myself a job here. In UK! Perhaps not what I originally wanted but hey, like what a friend says 'beggers can't be chosers'. No complains here.

The only thing I can do, is wait for the offer letter to come. A London one. Please transfer me to London please transfer me to London. Never have I felt so excited about Mondays. Slim chance but still, there's hope.

2 terms of hard work, 2 terms of neglecting my studies. I can almost see sunlight! Just one thing left, and it will be perfect.

Come on....

New Year, Half A Tooth Less

Posted in
Ok, here's a continuation of my tooth saga:

After my tooth came off, I did what everyone would do if you hold part of your tooth in your hand, I panicked.

Luckily for me, I met a friend on my way home one day, while he was going to the dentist to get his tooth fixed (I later found out that he experienced exactly the same problem as I did). I got the number from him and booked an appointment for the next day.

The following account makes me swear that British make horrible dentist:

The walk there was long. I just did my presentation and was in not-very-comfy-shoes. The receptionist told me it would be a 10 minute walk from campus, but wth, it took me over 30 minutes and I even had to half-jog the last 5 to avoid being late.

I kind of wished I hadn't make it to the appointment on time. The place looked like a horse shack. She spent most of the time while I was there fiddling with her computer, whilst repeatedly telling me there's not enough time to finish fixing my tooth. Fine. After she finally put in some fillings in my tooth, I found out that she'd put in too much filling that I couldn't close my mouth after that!!

'Could you check, cause I don't think I can close my mouth now'
'That is not possible. You are closing your mouth fine as I can hear your jaws clenching'
'It may be that I am not used to the new fillings, but could you check'
'I think it is your own problem' (Blame me for your own inadequecy?!!!!!!!!)

5 minutes of getting her to check later...

'Fine' She pulled out a thin piece of paper, and asked me to bite and hold.

The paper fell right out.

'Fine' and she started drilling away the fillings.


I went home thinking, well, at least the problem was more of less solved right?

Wrong.

I looked into the mirror and found our that she merely coated my gum with a thin piece of filling, not even attaching much to the tooth. In a few more days I am sure the filling is coming off.


I am sure an amateur dentist in Malaysia can do better.

Man I miss Malaysia even more now.

So to all of you there...




Happy Chinese New Year! =)

A Little Over 2 Statements to Make

Posted in
I have 2 statements to make here:

ONE- I have a presentation tomorrow. In less than 12 hours


TWO- Half of my tooth just chipped off!!


So clearly, these 2 statements don't match up. You see, my tooth felt a little weird a moment ago and so I went and 'interdental-ed' + brushed it. After 5 minutes of fiddling, it went mad at me and.. fell off. FELL OFF! You know although you had caused me plenty of heartaches and sleep-less painful nights, I still love you and want you to be with me for the next, however many years I remain alive. But no! You betrayed me!


So now.


No tooth+ Presentation= Shit

P/s: I got 2 interviews and an Assessment Centre lined up over the next 2 week! I was very happy/nervous up till now.


I miss my chipped tooth!

There is no turning back.

Damn. Again, this 2 sentences doesnt match
