That is how anyone will feel if they put the 'snake brand' powder at their armpits.
You know, that snake brand, the one with a snake (and an arrow through its head) as the brand's logo. It's an oooooold brand already.
But I think few years back they came up with a Lavendar flavour that rocks. I like to put it on Chubby so that I can smell it anytime. The silly old one still follows me everywhere so when I want to take a sniff (sound like some drug addict?), I just turn to my side where Chubby is, and pick him up to sniff his ears.
But of course, I have to add that Mum will kill me if she founds out cos the powder is hers. Oh well, not like I'm feeding the dog bird's nest or anything.
Today, Jo came over. I'd fast forward abit and get to the part where she's getting home.
We crossed the road to get to the other side so that she can take the bus to Toa Payoh and take the train home (I'm sure most of you AREN'T SURPRISED to know that in the end she took a cab).
I suggested the brilliant idea of taking Kilo out for this short walk.
We should have taken one of the smaller ones. In fact, even Joon is a better candidate.
Kilo tugged and pulled. And when we finally got to the steps of the overhead bridge, he looked up, saw the ever-going flight of stairs, and then sat on his fat ass and refused to budge.
He did though, he climbed the first few steps and looked down. Suddenly, he jerked like he remembered something, and went tearing down that few steps and going to this plant beside the bridge structure to pee, dragging a screaming, shouting Joanna down with him.
I was walking in front, halfway up the bridge but when Jo screamed, I turned around just in time to catch her flying down the stairs, thanks to Kilo. I thought to myself: where the hell are those two going?
"Very dangerous leh! He like that!" she whined, face pale from the encounter. So, I decided to finally take over the leash from her.
I don't think Jo will ever want to walk Kilo again.

Eyelashes
I know people who would kill Miffy for having such nice eyelashes.
(Click on pic to enlarge you dodo!)
Since we're on her, let me add a few more adorable pics of Miffy. And a side note to those who always said that they want to visit her: You'd better be fast because she is growing at an alarming rate. Once in a few days, I would carry her down and show her to my Ah Gong, who would remarked at how much she has grown.
No longer is she the tiny cutesy bunny we saw at Ubin:
Of course she's still a cuddly baby and all. But not for long, I assure you.
Sometimes I can't wait for her to grow up, and become a huge bunny like her Mum. And then the next time Chubby goes near, she could kick him in the face and he would leave her alone thereafter, just like the way Joon was very much respected after countless attempts to attack and remove Chubby's toenails.
Acting innocent
Soon, I'd be updating on Xiao Bao, whom I heard is starting to get to that nippy stage where she either gets better or worse from there. I somehow have no confidence in Xiang's 'pet education' skills though I am not any better (but that, I have to stress, is due to environmental factors like having maids who would take your lovie out to play behind your back and NOT KNOW how to properly handle it).
Freddy, if you need the watergun I used to tame Joon, just ask, ok?
Now that we are talking about everyone's favourite lovie (I am referring to Joon. NOT Xiao Bao), let me include a little clip here:

Bai Wu Long
Tuesday, June 27, 2006
I have no idea why 'screw-ups' in Chinese is called Bai Wu Long. What has it got to do with the Oolong tea?
Anyway, let me tell you all about one screw-up I received today.
I received an SMS from Manda, who just returned from her very very long holiday at Shenzhen plus Hong Kong plus goodness knows where else she went.
And the SMS read: Fang, so how? Ciin's present settle already?
I was extremely amused, so I replied: Yup! Settle already.
That, I later found out, was due to her having gone on heavy flu medication. There you go. Blame it on the World Cup all over again.
Then there was the other night that I watched the England-Ecuador match at Lex's house.
EVERYONE forced ME to be the one to order Macdonald's, and I wasn't extremely happy about it.
After finishing reciting everyone's orders, the person asked me to hold on, and so I thought he would not be able to hear me.
So I angrily shouted at those beside me, specifically Xiang, "NI MEN SHI BU SHI NAN REN!" Call yourself a man!
Gawd knows the Mac person heard me, and asked with mock concern, "Miss, is everything alright?"
I WAS SO ULTRA EMBARRASSED! "Um.. yea.. yea.. alright."
Another Wu Long belonged to Zhong Ji Yi Ban, one of the funniest show I've ever came across. Weird and totally illogical plots like Zhong Ji Yi Ban should be appreciated for the creativity involved in all that planning, as well as for the straight faces of actors/actresses involved.
But then again, I chanced upon this show on YouTube, so I was majorly pissed when they took it offline just as I was coming to the second last episode. As a result, I had to blow the rest of my remaining allowance for the week just to buy the entire show, and watch the last two episodes.
This is despite having countless nights that I am able to 'cheong' finish the entire series. Blame it on procastination, important beauty sleep, and of course, the World Cup again.
Anyway, I can't wait to go to the dentist tomorrow to remove the stupid stitches. I have this awful feeling that one of the end stitches actually dropped off, cos there is like a huge crack in the corner of the gum and I can roughly see abit of the insides.
However, one thing for sure is, MY DAYS OF (dental) MEDICATION IS OVERRRRR!!!!!!
Yucky medicine! One of the worse thing about it is that because the stitches was so near my cheek, my jaw can only open to a certain (pathetic) angle. We all know the best way to swallow tablets is to open your mouth wide and put it right at the back of the tongue and faster swallow it down.
This has got to be the toughest time I had to swallow medicines. There were even times when it got stuck at the stitches area, especially when it was still numb from surgery, and then I had to use my numb tongue to move through the numb area to feel for the tablets and flush it down my throat.
Whoa! Challenging, I tell you.
Also, I would like to share with you all a comic strip I saw on the Straits Times Life the other day, that I thought was really cute and true. I think Daddy would find it eerily familiar:
CiiN Sniffed Her Pillow At 9:24 pm
I really really ..
Post: 3/3
.. love the Mitsubishi Colt. Colt, Colt Plus. It's all the same.
It was the front of the car that had attracted me to it the most. It was shaped like a rounded rice ball.
Irresistable cuteness!
Tee Hong and I acted as chauffeurs that day(Hany's birthday), and I was supposed to fetch Lex, Darius, and finally, Xiang.
Lex was easy. We often introduce each other to our friends and say that "this is my neighbour".
When I picked him up, I thought he had just rolled out of bed, except for the fact that he was in jeans. Well, who says you can't sleep with jeans? My first natural thought was, wow, guys have really proven that they are able to squeeze everything they need outside of their homes, into their pockets.
Greeted him, and we went on our way to Whampoa to pick Darius up.
I was turning into Whampoa when I said how surprised I am that he could put Hany's gift in his pocket.
You could see all of a sudden that Alex jumped in his seat a little, and for the first time throughout the ride where he wasn't making any sense in his speech, he actually seemed fully alert for awhile there.
"Shit." he said.
"Shit!" I echoed.
Picked Darius, then Xiang.
We waited below Xiang's block for what seemed like HOURS. I knew how Freddy Chen Good Jerk hated people to call his handphone and nag him to hurry up, since he's usually late because he is styling his HAIR.. and his hands would be full of wax.
When I finally decided to call, it turned out that he had reached thousands of years ago but was waiting by Towner Road, which means he had PASSED BY my car and three pairs of eyes totally missed him.
We then got back to Lex house where everyone else in Tee Hong's car had already reached nong nong ago.
Signed the card, settled payment, and everyone left.
Lex, who was STILL half-asleep, then forgot to close the gate to his house. Worst of all, there was NO ONE ELSE at home. Lex followed Tee Hong's car so he wasn't aware that the gate was left open. We wanted to call his handphone to let him know, but as my car moved forward slightly, we had this 'optical DISillusion' that the gate was closing already.
Turned out it wasn't closed and we had just driven off like that. In the end Lex received some !@#$% from his mum about it.
Therefore, people, I have just proved how the World Cup is not only detrimental to your health due to lack of sleep, but to the safety of your house, and inconvenience of your friends.
After picking up the star of the day, Hany, she made the last minute announcement that she is tasked to buy 4D or lottery or something. There is the strong belief and superstition that birthday peepz have all the luck in the world.
I guess there is some truth to it. You all know how the last digits of my number is 1230. So when I saw 0123 had opened as one of the consolation prizes for 4D, I asked Mum to buy the first four digits instead. She didn't. And it opened. Though thankfully it was only the starter's prize.
There was a long betting queue that day and some of us were hungry beyond words. I caught them red-handed eating Macdonald's in the other car as much as they had tried to hide it from us.
After multiple discussions, we decided to eat at East Coast Park. And, Janet, if you're reading this, I haven't gotten to the Mac drive-through yet!!! Goodness!!!
We ate at Kenny Roger's instead. The drive there was extremely dangerous. I was a noob and obviously didn't know roads well.
The good thing? There was Tee Hong.
The bad thing? His reckless driving. However, the only one among all who came the closest to being injured has got to be the previous birthday boy, Darius. I'd tell you about it later.
So there I was, following behind Tee Hong, with him cutting lanes here and there and me following provided it was safe enough to. I did not know if he was actually trying to overtake by cutting lanes, or really meaning to turn out.
Anyway, it was crazy and I seriously recommend that if any of you had to follow him, then get a few living breathing walking road-directory friends to sit in your car (I had Xiang, Darius and Hany with me).
But it was not only his driving that was disturbing me. Another irritant was this:
Having to constantly face Val. The roads we traveled also seemed to stop us at every traffic light, making Val all the more pleased at the fact that while we are in the car, we all face the front and would sometimes accidentally or naturally look at her.
Let me not describe the trauma of the entire experience, but once we reached Kenny Roger's, a secret was revealed that none of us in the group had been aware of.
That Val and Tee Hong had actually been secretly dating behind our backs!!!
We feel betrayed man! But yet we wish both of them good luck in their relationship. Let's hope it lasts longer than it did for the group's previous couple *ahem*, we all know who they are.
But I was wrong. Val and Tee Hong, the lovey dovey couple, was only together for all of 10 seconds before they rushed to queue up to buy food for themselves and then subsequently gorge on the food.
Now here's a mystery pic. Guess what we are looking at:
The hint is from the angle that we are staring.
Alright, an obvious clue for the clueless, and a confirmation for those who already guessed correctly.
In the spur of a moment, I suggested that after we go eat, we should go fly kites at Marina South, however when we were on our way there, I swear that I saw something drop from Tee Hong's car, since we were directly behind him on the expressway.
So, we stopped somewhere along the deserted road on the way to Marina South.
At the end of the day, we still couldn't figure out just what had dropped. Probably it was from another vehicle and the car happened to go over. But I honestly really saw it FALL FROM THE CAR. Hany can vouch for it too!
Oh, whatever. Lastly, let's end with Val again, who NEVER EVER MISSES an opportunity to take photos. Am still awaiting more photos from the digicams that day.

Just Joking
Post: 1/3
Ok. I'm just joking about the Fort Canning birthday part. Actually, I was serious, but was met with great resistance by my superior (Freddy Chen), who claimed that he had a friend who did just that and ended up in hospital with a broken foot or something (nonsense. I myself have NEVER fallen down before at Fort Canning, except just now while I was climbing up the steps of my own home).
Speaking of which, that fall was great. I didn't fall and knock my head. My right knee took the full impact as it knocked into the edge of a the stair.
My weird natural reaction was to continue climbing, and then plop myself onto mum's bed and roll around in pain, thus, successfully messing up her bed which she did not appreciate.
She started to warn me about bringing me to the chinese doc and get my leg wrapped like pig's trotters (for the previous time's revenge) but all I had gotten was thankfully, JUST, a blue-black.
So, I have deviated so far from talking about Darius' birthday.
I still, for lack of better word, owe most of you pics from Darius' birthday that was celebrated at Sakura, Toa Payoh. It was great there. I think there were about 3 other tables who were also celebrating birthdays, so when we sang his, they started singing as well and the entire shop had most, if not all, of their patrons singing the happy birthday song at the top of their lungs.
We actually wanted to watch a movie after that to help in the digestion. It was a buffet at Sakura, so as you can expect, we ate till the point of threatening to vomit out our food if we over-exert ourselves so we thought it best to sit down for over an hour and help the food digest.
Alas, there were no movies near to that time slot and the next one was almost two hours away.
But nothing stops us from taking photos:
You don't really have to guess why the van is looking so glum. It's gotta be the 99th time this photo was taken.
Behind Superman's powers lies... Ciin & Jo???
Dead-ringer for Garfield.
'Pissed' ringer for Garfield, Meimei eventually silently fled the party halfway while the rest were deciding where to go next.
Finally, all of us ended up at the billiard/pool hall, and the rest as they say, was history. By the time we wanted to go home, it was 1AM in the morning and raining extremelyh heavily.
My parents were very steady-pom-pee-pee. They stayed up all the way to ensure that I will get home safely (something about robberies and stabbings and leave-you-there-to-die). I gave them a call and they came to fetch.
But you should see how heavy the rain was. The roads were half-flooded, and it was impossible to avoid stepping entirely into the whole puddle of water because, as I said, it was flooded, lol!
And it was like this that one by one, Fang, Keet Leong, Xiang and I got up into the car and made the entire backseat floor wet.
Now allow me to rest for the next half an hour before I continue with my next post, on Hany's birthday.

On the 28TH!
Sunday, June 25, 2006
Yes! Ok! I know! Darius' official birthday is on the 28th so he isn't 21 yet! But I thought the day of celebration is all that counts.
Anyway dudes, on MY birthday, I don't give a damn about ANY excuses because I am warning all of you here beforehand that WE ARE GOING TO FORT CANNING TO PLAY HIDE-AND-SEEK! Be damned in your heels, mini-skirts, flip-flops and long jeans because you have been warned.
That aside. Tomorrow, we're celebrating Honey's birthday. You know it's true that there must have been MILLIONS of people who were born in June as compared to the other months. Other 'hot' months to be born in include March and the last few months of the year.
I guess I will only upload photos tomorrow.
You know, sometimes, having a 'zhi ji', I don't know what you call it in English. Oh, ok, Jo just told me 'confidante', is really good for health. Especially for someone who can suddenly forget alot of things.
A Zhi Ji, if you suddenly change the subject, from talking about school to criticising someone who threw litter and your Zhi Ji would know who the culprit is without you having to lift a finger to point him/her out.
A Zhi Ji is also one whom you don't have to complete your sentence but that person already knows what you mean.
For example, I was in this game on Diablo while Xiang was bringing in his different characters to move his items around.
Then there was this item called 'Standard of Heroes', which I picked up cos its weird name really attracted me.
Turned out it was some kind of flag with banner, and with no attributes, so I told him where did he get it.
CiiN: Where you get the standard of heroes?
XianG: Kill ubers
CiiN: Oooh.. you mean like that time I kick the whose ass and they drop the thing that I forget is what?
XianG: Yea! That one.
CiiN: But I don't even know what I'm talking about. . . How you know is that one.
Unfortunately, my zhi ji, who often goes by his other names mentioned in this blog of: Xiang, Good Jerk, and Freddy, was unable to attend my graduation ceremony with me and dab his eyes with tissue as I get on stage to collect the piece of paper that I had waited 3 years for. Although Jo offered to do that for me, I had, very politely, declined her good intentions.
So, it only meant that I had to go back to school on a seperate day to collect it, which I did, and drove back, all the while telling Mum that it was so stupid to only get a driving license AFTER I got out of TP (I am referring to Temasek Polytechnic. Not Traffic Police).
As Mum waited in the car, I went to One Stop Centre to get my cert. I walked in, and it was totally empty (thanks to school holidays).
"Do I have to get a queue number?" I asked the only staff who was there, her entire person sitting down and barely visible as it was blocked by the ridiculouly HIGH counter.
She didn't even bother to smile or anything. Just nodded her head, so I pressed the button, got my number, and prepared to wait for at least 10 minutes or so (though, I am repeating that there was NO OTHER SINGLE SOUL OUT THERE except for me and her).
I walked to the nearest chair and was about to plomp my fat ass down when that very same lady pressed the button to reveal my ticket number.
You know, if the staff was friendlier, I might have burst out laughing.
Every part of me screamed: L.A.M.E. If there was a customer service quota that they had to reach everyday, then let me know lah! I press 10 queue numbers for her. She made me think I had to wait, and then she called my queue number before I even had time to sit down!
Three years. Just for you. My dear piece of paper.
Education; it's all about papers.
Anyway, yes, my surname is Lim, and my Chinese name is Shi Yi. I just have this unexlain-able reluctance to show my full name on my cert, so I censored it off.

...with my darling pair of baby yellow Crocs that has somewhat already morphed into dirty yellow instead..
It's high time I got myself another pair of shoes, and thus I decided to aim Vibram's FiveFingers!!!!!
I can already imagine how comfortable that shoe would be.
Now all I have to do is sit back and wait for it to be imported into Singapore probably 5 years down the road.
You know, these days, no job no school, it's kinda fun. I do what I wanna do, I play computer games non-stop or eat non-stop etc etc. Most of all, I get to sit home and shake my leg.

Lang Man = Romantic
An extract from the drama Zhong Ji Yi Ban. Part of the reason why I like the show; it doesn't make sense. Most things that actually DO make sense are NOT funny.
I think the show deserves credit because it also requires the actors to not laugh at their friends when they're acting so possessed. HAHAHA!!
Anyway, I feel I am ready enough to relate the experience with my wisdom tooth, for the benefit of those who haven't been through it before. Some people I know actually have all the luck in the world of not even having wisdom tooth (or rather, maybe it hasn't 'erupted' yet, cos the age is between 18-25 years old).
So this stupid wanna-come-out-don't-wanna-come-out lower wisdom tooth was bothering me like hell. You know that kinda itchy painful feeling? The gum was red and swelling and I presume a tooth was coming out, so I purposely chewed things using that particular side in order to 'help expose' the tooth.
Everyday throughout the roadshow, I would lament to Jo that my wisdom tooth was !@#$%-ing me.
I kept going on and on about how I was going to see a dentist, and I kept telling Mum too. Finally on Tuesday, two days ago, I went to the dentist near Pets' Station (and conveniently bought dog food and cat litter for Miffy to pee in).
Now that day was probably one of the suckiest days of my life. I knocked into the kerb. Twice. Within an hour. As you can tell, I got mighty pissed with myself (and I had this awful feeling it had something to do with me purposely NOT wearing my crystal bracelet with me that gave me all the bad luck!)
That dental clinic was fully booked. I was impressed.
Then we went to Serangoon Central, which Mum wasn't too glad about, as she believed that they were so small-scale and probably wouldn't have the stuff OR staff to perform surgery.
I was thinking: Surgery? What surgery? All I wanna do is check my wisdom and take an X-ray man!
It was great. The waiting time, I mean. I waited for a mere 15 minutes before I was called in to see the dentist. Sat down, and before I know it, I was asked to take an X-ray.
Got into this room and the dentist poked this weird piece of thing in my mouth, apologising all the time at the discomfort it caused me (believe me, it WAS MORE uncomfortable than the surgery itself!) while the nurse adjusted the machine.
Then suddenly I was left alone while dentist and nurse walked out. I was thinking "how long am I going to be left here" when suddenly the dentist burst into the room again and went to touch the machine.
"Oh great, they forgot to adjust the thing to my mouth" I thought, but then the dentist told me it was done. I sat there for awhile in stunned silence before I was whisked back out to the dental chair.
To sum it all up, I was told that my upper wisdom had already grown out, but the lower one was stuck. My jaw bone wasn't long enough to support it and it had already reached its maximum height INSIDE my gum.
That swelling area that I purposely chewed food on was actually a stupid blardy ulcer caused by the upper teeth often clamping down onto it.
And then he dropped the bomb. "I would recommend you remove it. If we were to hold this surgery, when do you think it would be the best time for you to come? Like.. are you already prepared for it to be removed by.. let's say.. today?"
"Tooo...daaaayyyyy....?" Suddenly, my voice was half-gone.
"Why, today. Of course! Can!" I said after a few more seconds. Anything to remove the swelling shit in my mouth.
He recommended I went to eat lunch first (don't think I'd have appetite after surgery to eat), and I did.
And I ate.. BAH CHOR MEEEEEE.. and I forgot to ask them NOT TO PUT tee kuah.
I thought I could do a real re-enactment of "I thought I asked you not to put tee kuah?" but then decided against it. Oh, and by the way, I forgot to add that my dear Mum was with me the whole time providing assurance and support.
It was, after all, my first visit to a dentist that is NOT related to a school and it was a surgery already. Kinda true what most people say; we only go to see a dentist when there is pain, and it usually is too late.
So peepz, remember to go for your dental check ups at LEAST once a year.
Ate and all, soon I was back in the dentist chair with the dentist explaining to my Mum ALL OVER AGAIN about what is happening etc etc. Gawd, that dude is really patient man!
As he explained, I held a mirror to see where he's pointing to get a second-going-over of the whole situation.
It was then that I noticed that I had some chilli skin stuck at certain very obvious places of my teeth throughout the explaination. Thank goodness there was that usual cup of water at the side of the chair where you can sit up and gurgle.
Next came the part I was most nervous about. The injection. I had thin fish bone stuck in certain awkward places of my gum before and it wasn't a very pleasant experience. I was quite sure the needle wasn't something I would like as well.
My stomach almost lunged when the kind dentist made it a point to let me know where he would be injecting. Think there were 7 or 8 different areas. My mind was blank by then.
But it was, afterall, anaesthetic, and it goes to work almost immediately. Other than ONE injection that made me cringe and tear, the others were hardly felt.
Then the best part came. I was introduced to the POWER of Anaesthetic (I am tempted to name it Anastasia). To prove to me that it would really be painless, the doc poked me and asked if I felt anything. I had kept my eyes closed since the injection thing. I felt him using something to touch my gum but it was very slight.
"Painful" he asked.
"Ngo" I said as best as I could with my mouth open. Then he told me he was actually using the sharp skewer-like thing to poke me. I felt very glad. He poked the needle with more force a few hundred more times and I got even more comforted. Then he officially proclaimed that he was going to start soon.
I was asked to gurgle my mouth again and he chatted with my mother for awhile more regarding root canal or implants and the sort. I realised I had trouble closing my mouth while gurgling and water threatened to spill out the sides. I feel so helpless.
As they chatted, I looked around the room and happened to glance past a mirror. To my amusement, my jaw was hanging down. I looked elsewhere while closing my mouth. When I looked into the mirror again, hey, the jaw is STILL open! So I used my hand to clamp my mouth shut because I can't even feel if my upper/lower teeth is against each other or not.
The upper wisdom, as you all know, was already out, so its considered a normal extraction. It was out within 10 seconds or even less!
In fact, I only realised it when he said "Ms. Lim, it's out already you know."
"Arrr..." Was all I could muster.
The lower teeth was the tricky one. The one that required the cutting open.
I wasn't sure what was going on as they had covered my eyes. Something about squirting saltwater and being afraid that it would kana my eyes. It was this one that I felt my mum holding on to my leg. She was seated beside my feet throughout the whole ordeal. There were drills, salt water (I could hardly taste it through the anaesthetic. It was like normal water to me), and then the occasional instructions from the doctor to "keep your tongue away" and "don't move ar.. alot of sharp objects in your mouth".
Sitting there with a light in your face, two person peering into your mouth and a nervous mother at your feet, I suddenly felt the INTENSE urge to shake my leg.
I didn't dare to. Of course. Would you?
The longest time was spent 'pushing away my gums' as they had described to me. Even the drill was brought in to 'push away my gums'. What a subtle description. More like DRILL away my gums to see the teeth below. I started wondering whether my shirt was stained with specks of blood.
It wasn't. They had unknowingly clipped a tissue on me that acted like a bib. The only blood stain that remained after the surgery was at the side of my mouth. I wiped it away with ease but some of it was stubborn as it had already dried so I could only go home and clean up.
I felt so okay that I could even drive home after that. As we were on our way, I even dumbly told my mum that if she slapped me on the left side of my face, I wouldn't even feel a thing.

Lesser Wisdom
Wednesday, June 21, 2006
To lose ALOT of weight: Have your wisdom tooth extractions done one at a time. Each extraction's week-long discomfort hinders ability to chew food, thus losing appetite. In total, you should be going on a (forced) diet of porridge for almost a month if you did all 4 extractions one at a time.
But anyway, just to add here, that if any of you are in need of a GOOD and PATIENT dentist for your wisdom tooth problems, you may want to check out Q&M Dental Surgery (Serangoon Central). Book you rappointment with Dr. Yap.
The painkillers DO work you know.
Ok. I shall go into specific details another day but right now, since this is a toothy post, I shall include some random (read: Stupid) photos that doesn't make sense.
Let me see.....
First of all firsts, we have to include the wisdom tooth pic.
YES! I KEPT IT! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
There were even blood and bits of tissue stuck on it. It's so obvious that you don't even have to scrutinise the pic to see it.
I only took one though. It's disgusting enough.
Don't worry, I've soaked both tooth in bleach already. It, as Manda would have described, smells CLEAN, right now.
This pic is pretty obvious. One of Miffy eating her favourite veggies that I STILL find disgusting. I understand the likings for carrots but.. VEGGIES! EEEwwww...
I've only seen her tooth once. That was when I held up a veggy and she stood up on her hind legs to reach it. But I only saw the two very obvious teeth: The ones Bugs Bunny has that's sticking out.
This one? Punctured skin. Joon bit me with her teeth. Ohhh.. not so.. I think this one is disqualified then. Anyway, wounds on my precious and 'insultative' middle finger were courtesy of Joon's beak, to be exact. I guess in the case of birds, we consider beaks as their 'teeth'.
Next. Something that you can eat/drink EVEN if you do not have teeth:
Milo Godzilla!!!!
Ok, another final story to add before I end.
Fang was telling me very very angrily that she and her colleagues with her spent $22.60 EACH on lunch just now, which was a crazy amount (unless your boss is treating).
Turned out that when they were jaywalking across the road, she saw a policeman taking down the names of people who had jaywalked.
What she didn't expect that while she was looking all the way at THAT officer, there was ANOTHER ONE standing at where they were crossing to, and they walked right into him, and were fined $20 each for jaywalking.
Singapore is a FINE country.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Ouch. Laughing is bad for my health. Damn wisdom tooth.

Today was a crazy bla bla yada yada day.
To sum it all up, Jo and I were supposed to be out. Then Darius wanted to join us. Then Val AND Tee Hong joined us, or rather, we joined them since TH had the car. Then instead of Bugis, we went to Jurong.
All of a sudden, we found ourselves at Ikea.
For the most important people in the world!!!!
Feeling so at home in Ikea with Wawa's distant relatives
No. Eventually she didn't try it on, don't worry.
A Bug's Life
Metrosexual-looking Darius??
Purely Val's own idea to pose like that
Val's another idea. Looking at it, it kinda reminds me of Power Ranger's first HQ.
And now.. The 'hat-mania'....
Can you sense my reluctance to pose for this?
Daruis actually look drunk here..
So is Jo, I guess.
Val.. is ALWAYS drunk
Our Harvests at Ikea:
Darius was absolutely delighted with his purchase. An ergonomical pillow, with two covers. Having just been through it myself, I know how wonderful it feels like to just purchase a new pillow; you can't wait to get home and sleep!
Part of Val's preparation.. ok how you spell that word? Anyway, part of her preparing.. PROCESS.. to Australia. The patterns you see here are going to be her bedsheets for the next two years
My only harvest was a dog bowl that I bought for Miffy. You can see Darius digging his wallet to throw coins into it while Jo used it to beg for money. At the very last minute, I withdrew an item I had wanted to buy, a light switch for a lamp in my room after realising it was for a two-pin whereas the light at home was three. Anyone knows where I can buy a step switch for my standing lamp?
Very quickly-taken picture of Val whining...
Before we know it, we were at Novena waiting for Shufang to reach. Since we were early, we parked at a corner and messed around as usual.
Tee Hong decided to do some spring-cleaning with our spare time. As you can see, Val isn't really helping much.
Actually, from certain angles of viewing the reflections, most of us look like hobbits.
Finally, Fang joined us. Thankfully there were more than enough space to accomodate.
We were tested to the max when Lex and Xinni joined us later on at Toa Payoh and Bras Besah. Basah. WHATEVER!
