hey it's merdeka day
but somehow the whole occasion nearly slipped out of my mind
despite me being part of the merdeka celebration @ Tav comm(do come!)
maybe it's the distance
maybe it's the people around me
maybe it's my so-busy-until-cant-update life
maybe it's the lack of atmosphere
maybe it's the absence of media coverage
maybe it jus doesnt apply to the younger generation-jus another reason to partey
meh

so lazy busy to blog... another picture-less post again...
14/8- we left our lab halfways to see the 100m swimming finals in the common room...i think 40% of the class left and in the common room there must be 40 odd people cheering and shouting...that was fun..
15/8- lost my wax knife but found it back in someone's box...but that person kept saying that that was his, despite the factS that: the knife has my number on it, it has the burnt mark that i did accidently...i jus hv no idea how to get it back...
16/8- world vision 40 hr famine is on- i actually wanted to do it at the beginning of the year...but as the date approaches, i realise i have to do it under a group...so...didnt do lor...if i'm doing it i'll be going 40 hrs wihout sleep (since sleep is wat i need most)
17/8- went to indian indepedence day celebration- coz my fren was dancing...and i was kinda dragged to go
20/8-radiograph session- it was kinda fun-ish...taking differently shots of dexter (plastic man) and a skull...lolin the afternoon i had my drilling test...which i killed (in the bad way)- so that's a resit next weekright after the test at 4 continue to fiddle around with some wax which i have been fiddling since 2 weeks ago...then went to a talk on evolution vs creationism at octagon theatre which wasnt that enlightening-then wasted my time watching 'so you think u can dance' and olympics (sprint 200 m men final) before sitting down to study for my test the next morning at 11pm...slept at 4 (2 hr rest in between)
21/8-given the drilling exam format which will happen end of the yr...hv to pass 5 of 6 items to 'pass' ..like wtfungus...a HD to pass a unit...suddenly dent didnt look fun anymore...and fear of failing (enhanced by the test we just had after that) spread like wild fire and intensified and i was dead tired during lunchtime-mentally tired ..you know how when u are sleepy..your eyes are heavy but your brain is still active, thinking 'there's goes the eyelid again, man i shud sleep' kinda things but mentally tired was totally diff lol...you can be walking or cycling then *snap and *snap -and you go 'why am i here' to realise your brain jus disconnected for while there
22/8-even our lab instructor was saying 'i saw a few of you coming in at 8, did your waxwork til 1pm, went for the test, then came back to continue after that til 6pm' ...starting to get stressful now...finally manage to get 6 teeth onto my dentures but still look crap...
23/8-is going to miss all the fun coz my sense of responsibility is jus too strong to ignore...sorry guys...really wanted to go...
so inspired by harmonisation after i heard one at utopia the other night (:P) that i youtube some to see if i can learn it...lol

kids, bus, olympics, money, quote
Hey yo...so i’m blogging here in the library...yes a lecture got cancelled because we cant find a venue to have it...how lame...anyway, better hurry up before i head of for lab at 1pm.
I don’t think i can write stuff here...jus so un-inspiring...so i think this will mainly be non-sense...hahaha
Kids:
U know how things jus happen..u get all excited to write about it but when u get home and sit down...the stuff jus seems too menial to write about. Anyway...the other day when i was working...a mom and a girl came in to buy a subway each...so i finished making them both...then at the cashier and out the blue i decided to give the little girl her own plastic bag to carry (coz i tot the girl would be stoked to have her own carry bag...and normally i’ll stuff everything into one bag- to be environmentally friendly)...i purposely put in her drink into the bag to let her know that that’s hers...and she was like ‘is that mine? It has my drink in it...i have my own bag~~~’ in a cutesy manner to her mom..but u know adults, they don’t care...but i can see the smile on her face and the bag swinging in her hands when she left...so i tot...i can be a good paedodontist..hahah
After church, a few friends and i had lunch with a bunch of kids...the youngest being a yr5? And man is he racist...he started telling jokes like ‘what do you call an Abo priest’ ‘what’s the difference btw an Abo and a bucket of shit’ et...such a bad influence on me lol...and the guy who was driving us there was such a ‘koko’ no wonder the girls where all over him (slightly exaggerated)...haha
You know how kids can be really cute and fun to play with...and girl will go 'i want to have kids' right? But once u actually raise one...it will be totally different...like hell...so i suggest...u can either kidnap one, be a godfather or godmother to one, or jus work with kids...
Continued at home…
Bus:
The other day when I was bus-ing to work…I noticed this lady sitting with a huge brown colour book on her lap…but it was jus empty pages…must some autograph/wedding book. That was my thought after that quick glance around the bus which registered in what I’ve wrote about her.
But then after a while I glanced at her again (I wasn’t actually facing her, but standing and facing the side of the bus)…then I realise something…her hands were moving across…then I realise they were Braille (or sth else)…then I was like ‘oh crap’ in my heart…dunno why, maybe jus the assumption I made about her? Not sensitive enough…so me being ‘empty-minded’ at that time jus starting wondering about her…she looked calm tho, facing out of the bus…as though she was looking out at the riverside…but when she turned back, I somehow felt like she was staring back at me saying what are you looking at…but I continued topeep observe…reading Braille is hard…but she did it smoothly…quite amazing how fingertips can be used like that…so sensitive…then I realise she didn’t look bad (don’t mean anything else)…since she wouldn’t be able to see how she looked like…and that being said (or thought), it would kinda be a blessing in disguise coz you wont see stuff which makes you worry/sad etc…but you will miss out on lots more stuff like how the colour green look like, how ‘brightness’ look like (though scientists believe there a part on the midbrain which actually can detect those but let’s not go into this now)…then I wonder where her walking stick is…and then i went ‘holy sh*t’ there was a dog tucked under her legs…it was humungous…how did I even miss that…then I realise I’ve seen her around the neighbourhood… but it was time to leave the bus…
Sometimes bus-ing can be fun…especially when there people having conversations in an audible range…talking about their housemates who refuse to pay, about the Jap test they jus had, etc…
Olympics:
Yes the opening was grand and I manage to miss the first 30 mins which was the best part in the whole ceremony…
I was watching one the sports on tv- gymnastics…it’s actually quite hard to perform…but everytime when someone fell onto the floor or slips off the balancing bar, it’s actually quite saddening…actually the close-up shots on their faces…you know that they are devastated/disappointed but they still don’t show it out and still continuing with what they were doing… feel sorry for them…
Money:
I lost my pay last week…180+…so stupid…pretty sure I lost it on the bus again…stupid
Just a quote I copied from a blog that I read but not knowing the author :
人生只不过是需要一点点的感慨来点缀
而我的感慨好像占了大部分
咖啡杯已经变得冰凉
咖啡还是没有喝完
或许我喜欢的就只是它的温度
而不是它的味道....

wk 32
Sorry about the lock-up. There were reasons to believe that the safety of my blog was compromised.
Let’s see…actually I have stuff in my mind to write about…but just cant be bothered writing it out…don’t even know where to start…
Ok we were suppose to have this test…but the scope of material examined kept changing until someone complain and it got postponed…then we got to meet the head of the school coz apparently we have a lot of other complains about certain units ranging from ‘just-15-mins lecture’ to ‘late lecturer (who was extremely apologetic when she finally got there)’ to ‘reading a whole 300 pages of book and get tested on it (not knowing head or tails)’ to ‘not getting our marks back three months after the assessment’(which itself has lots of problem like some of the stuff were not even taught and the whole confusion with who the marker was)…the head wasn’t nice…at all…good thing the guild is behind us…muahahaha…school politics (unique to our course only apparently)…and our class rep resigned after all the commotion…
So we had another meeting with our year mentor (someone said he needed a translator to understand...just because his accent was weird…lol) and the paper that we were suppose to take…well we know VERY WELL what will be in the test…courtesy of the lecturer who set the paper…
So..that was pretty much the most interesting stuff that happened recently…
Jus had a prac test this morning…drill with all my might…trying to achieve: that curvature which reflect the outer surface, specific dimensions ranging from 1.5mm to 3mm, and making a ‘drain’ which is supposed to be 0.2 mm (like how do you even measure that)…all was well, I think I fail…
Met up with this guy from CU…had a talk over coffee at Dome (I don’t really like coffee)..talked about stuff…and due to me talking too much (I think I was tyring to make conversation) I have to meet up again next week…dunno ‘sigh’ or ‘yeah’…should be grateful (I was going to type ‘greatful’) … ‘Luke’ it will be
Saw my fren at uni and then saw my mentee at the bus stop…I swear 1st yr seemed ages ago…I was like thinking years back to recall what happen and then I realize it was barely a year ago…
And I missed the main campus…with all the people and ‘happenings’
Had a lecture at 5 til 6.30pm..dont mind coz it was awesome…on orthodontics
So now here I am 11.26pm, a 140 pages prosthodontics book (which I painstakingly scan and printed out) waiting for me to read (test on friday), several other books/magazines waiting for me to read as well…expedition to search for the cheapest durian around tomorrow…my laptop I’m afraid is dying…responding really slowly
Just some random stuff:
-It’s the 7th month in the lunar/Chinese calendar..boo
-this year’s Olympic had been not smooth sailing at all from what I read from newspapers…the ‘birdnest’ is not as safe as we thought…there were a lot of problems ‘passing on’ the oylmpic fire from ‘04 athens’ to ‘08 beijing’. From 1976 to 2004 the fire had only been extinguished (accidentally eg by wind) only 6 times. But after the Beijing official got the fire, it has extinguished more than 20 times at everywhere around the world (rain, wind, people, and even no apparent reason)…the five FuWa was also believed to be a curse (Nanking flood, Sichuan earthquake, Tibetan unrest etc). and the dates all have something to do with the number 8…freaky ey…
On a happier note…summer’s almost here
man i really can write crap...
