Today was like a full time shopping day! I was awaken at 8am because mum decided that we will go around Suntec mall to shop after sending Nik there to film his entrepreneur competition show. Anyway, his team lost. We reached there at about nine and the shops were not even opened yet. Walked around then had some coffee before getting into Carrefour to look around. What we had in mind going in was just to look around before the other shops open. We wanted Jeans. We ended up with loads of purchases from Carrefour and no jeans from there in the end. We bought like a new basketball and volleyball.

Dad and I saw some rugby balls on the rack and guess what. We have our backs to one another and we did the exact same thing. We picked up a rugby ball and tried to pass behind to one another. What a joke! And when the ball bounced away as it hit the other one, we just turned around and had a good laugh. “Daddy, you copied me!” No, it was just coincidental. Anyway, we both wanted to buy a rugby ball but mum said that we can’t play rugby with just the few of us.

I got a pair of stone washed jeans which has this motif on one of the front pocket from Giodarno. Better not let me meet someone wearing the same jeans as me on the streets. I also got a new pair of pumps (Shoes with short heels) which looks pretty retro.We returned home at about 8pm. A whole day at Suntec! Anyway, today I managed to get my hair with a more obvious red.

Yesterday, after tuition, I was supposed to have late lunch after tuition with Chee Yong and the few others that went to fort canning. Chee Yong overslept and didn’t turn up in the end. That poor thing, didn’t get to really have a good sleep for two days. It’s alright, I don’t fault you for not coming.

So Changtai and his friend from HC met me at Clarke Quay MRT and we went to meet Teck Hao and Sheng Long at Liang court Macs. We then walked pass Calrke Quay to Esplanade and Merlion to take some photos. Then I went off to Orchard while they went to Queensway. It was pretty fun to look around town alone too if your friends can’t come with you. I went to Borders to get books. I bought HPand the Half Blood Prince and also Roald Dahl’s Tales of the Unexpected. Both are great books that are highly recommended. After that, I walked to Far East and I bought my Safety Pin earring, a pair of bronze button ear studs, blue hairband and 4 coloured rubber bands.

I have enough of shopping for these past twos days. Happy, yes but I am feeling the pinch now.

Friday, I somehow got a little sour because of some small thing. However I neutralized the sour taste on Saturday. Keep having extreme feelings recently, acidic then alkali…PMS-ing huh?

After one or two months, I got it yesterday. It was quite a nice timing and I was for once was happy about it.

I went out to swim at Toa Payoh swimming complex with Ruo Yun this afternoon. I am sure to be the last whenever I swim with IJRCY 04Sec4.

Anyway, I met Teck Hao on the bus to the MRT station. He was so nice to volunteer buying me the earring I broke this morning. It was that safety pin earring that broke in my ear hole. *grumbles* It was such a cool earring. Thanks Teck Hao for the effort.

Just after I reached home after dinner, I went out again to play badminton with Nik and dad. I had quite a lot of fun. I won Nik but lost to dad. I have to come home and get another shower.

Tomorrow there is ODAC at noon. The previous Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday had ODAC full swing… Hope that with so much of seeing one another, we can forge a stronger bond – at least hopefully it will be able to meet Mr Lim’s expectations.

Anyway, I had this weird dream two nights ago.


*smiles* :)

There's like so many people here in the house today... So many kids too. I just played Barbie doll with Yvette just now. She told me those dolls that I gave her are mostly spoilt by her brother. Sigh, those dolls that I kept for so many years and they end up spoilt after I have given them away. And now, sitting in my room, my only private sanctuary in the house at the moment, trying to create a new entry to pass my time. Just got called eat dinner at the dining area. But then again there are so many people, no place for me to perch myself... LOL

Yesterday, I went to ToaPayoh HDB hub after tuition to watch first aid comp nationals 2005. Supposedly went there to support my juniors but then again, there weren't as many supporters compared to the years when we were still in IJRCY. The support was pretty pathetic. Anyway, Ruo, Weng and Yiping were there as volunteers. Results were that IJRCY didn’t win top three. What a disappointment! There were so many flashbacks of FAcomp training and competitions.

After FA comp, Ruo and I went to walk around ToaPayoh. There were this bunch of Bengs that were walking behind us, then from the corner of our eyes, we saw this cigarette flew pass. We speculated that the Bengs tried to aim at Ruo’s Shirt with this huge red cross at the back. Luckily they did not hit her with the lighted cigarette. Later we went to Long John’s and Ruo had her dinner and we chatted.

Oh yes, I bought this Palty temporary red hair dye at $8.90 from Watson’s. It was a good deal. I tried it on today and it was not really obvious. Pretty cool. On Friday, went to town and I bought this cute safety pin ear ring. I am wearing it now and it looks totally weird! It is just so eccentric.

Should try to go get my dinner now. Or at least wait for my mum then eat with her. Marathon is coming and I only reached five km. Gosh… there is still so much to catch up!

Craig David - Don t Love You No More (I m Sorry)
Album: The Story Goes

For all the years that I’ve known you baby
I can’t figure out the reason why lately
You’ve been acting so cold
(Didn’t you say)
If there’s a problem we should work it out
So why you giving me the cold shoulder now
Like you don’t want to talk to me girl (tell me)
Okay I know I was late again
I made you mad and dinners thrown in (the bin)
But why you making this thing drag on so long (I wanna know)
I’m sick and tired of this silly game
Don’t think that I’m the only one here to blame
It’s not me who’s been going round slamming doors
That’s when you turned and said to me
I don’t care babe who’s right or wrong
I just don’t love you no more

Rain outside my window pouring down
What now, you’re gone, my fault, I’m sorry
Feeling like a fool cos I let you down
Now it’s too late to turn it around
I’m sorry for the tears I’ve made you cry
I guess this time it really is goodbye
You made it clear when you said
I just don't love you no more

I know that I’ve made a few mistakes
But never thought things would turn out this way
Doesn’t make sense to me now that you’re gone (I see it all so clearly)
Me at the door with you in a state
Giving my reasons but as you look away
I can see a tear roll down your face
That's when you turn and said to me
I don't care babe who's right or wrong
I just don't love you no more

Those simple words hit so hard
They turned my whole world upside down
Girl you caught me completely off guard
On that night you said to me
I just don't love you no more

I got pretty turned off when I couldn't get your attention. I guess I was too narcissistic for that. I think this song is nice. Would you sing it for me if you know that it was you whom I am mentioning now? I would guess that you can't sing it or don't know how to. How about sending this song to me? I guess you don't have it either.

Monday October 24th
I went to school in the morning. I did some PW. I was looking forward to ODAC in the afternoon. However, I felt very dizzy and tired. Appetite was totally gone. My left elbow started to hurt again. I decided to take a rest in the sick bay and go for ODAC later. The pain was so bad I couldn’t sleep. Finally decided I could take it no more and should go and visit my doctor. Ms Low was really nice to send me to the doctor and accompany me home after that. Marian went along too.

After looking at the swelling, my doctor told me to go to the hospital’s accident and emergency. She wanted to call my mum. My fever and headache was so bad I could not remember her office number.

Mum came home and sent me to Mount Alvernia hospital. We went to the A&E and I was being referred to one doctor to the next. Finally I was referred to the Orthopaedic or bone specialist. Before seeing him, I had to get an x-ray done. I couldn’t even turn my arm to do the x-ray. Anyway, it was done despite the pain.

The Orthopaedic said that I have some infection but luckily it did not affect the bone. He suggested operating on my elbow to drain out the pus. I nearly fainted.

Then I was admitted into ward 423. Two beds, one bathroom, air-conditioned and there’s a television to kill time. I was supposed to fast and not drink anymore water. I couldn’t remember how many injections I was given. Then there was the I/V drip. I was really scared. The anaestatist said he could not see my veins but finally he poke this needle with a tube connected somewhere near my index finger. I didn’t dare to move my fingers for there is this funny feeling when I moved it.

At 8pm, I was supposed to go for surgery. I was freaking out. I was pushed into this room and made to watch television while I wait. Then not long later, I was pushed to the theatre. The lights were really bright. I was given an injection through the I/V drip. Then I was asked to breathe in through the oxygen mask. It smelt slightly sweet and I was asleep.

Someone woke me up later and I was pushed back to my ward. Then throughout the day and the next, I have to get injections through the I/V drip.

Tuesday October 25th
Feeling really tired but I am better. My arm was bandaged and can hardly move. So many people came to visit me. I had Dong and Poh during lunch. Then Marian came with her dad with a pot of purple flowers. It was really sweet of her. Afterwards, Cynthia came with brownies and Milo. Then Marian left soon after. Cynthia looked extremely shocked. I was so happy that she came. Though I didn’t get to chat with her much that day, she still cheered me up a lot. Then a whole bunch of ODAC people- Myra, Keith, Cheesy, Hazel, Jia Sheng and Wan Hui, they came during dinner. Cynthia went soon after they came. Thanks for visiting people… oh yes and the Fish Essence. LOL!

Wednesday October 26th
This day was really miserable. I broke down a couple of times. In the morning, soon after mum came, the Orthopaedic Dr Tho came to change my dressing. He did not sew up the wound after operating so that he can clean it. I saw part of the hole when he took away the dressing. It looked like a tissue box. I didn’t see because I was too afraid but I think this is what happened. He too out a few pieces of cotton wound from the hole and it hurt when some cotton got stuck while he was pulling them out. I only saw blood dripping onto the plastic sheet and then onto the bed covers. There was so much blood. Then he took some antiseptic soaked cotton wool and pressed into the hole. It hurt both physically and mentally as well. Blood was dripping again.

When he left, I asked mum what she saw. She told me she saw my flesh, she said I was muscular. LOL. I think she said that to cheer me as I was on the verge of bursting into tears. I didn’t cry until much later because I wanted to be brave in front of her so she won’t worry. She also told me later that she saw my bone which was really white.

Later during lunch, Poh came again. She asked me how I was and I told her about the washing of the wound. As I was telling her, I can’t help but started to sob. I couldn’t eat because I was really upset. I looked really disastrous because my eyes were red and swollen.

In the afternoon, it rained. Nobody came and I was bored. I felt really miserable because I can’t help thinking about the washing that morning. That night, I could not really sleep because I was thinking about it again. I was like crying again for like one whole hour and the nurse when she came to take my temperature was really shocked to see me cry. My temperature rose again in the wee hours. Oh the nurse takes my temperature I think hourly. Well, with the rise in temperature, I have to stay in hospital for another day.

Wednesday October 26th
Dr Tho came to clean the wound again in the morning. I was already freaking out in the morning after I woke up. Then I think I slept a lot during the day and I can’t remember what happened.

Thursday October 27th
I got discharged in the morning. I was supposed to go back to the Orthopaedic clinic the next few days to get my wounds cleaned up. Irritating.

what we could have been, 1:37 PM.

Tuesday October 18th
I noticed the first squint of pain on my left elbow. I thought I was just a bruise. I thought it would go away by the next day.

Wednesday October 19th
I woke up a couple of times in the wee hours before day break. The squint of pain grew… When I woke up for school, I could not move it. It hurt like crazy. I thought I dislocated my elbow. Dad sent me to school to pass my PW group mates the file that I keep all the PW stuff. I want them to have something to do even if I am not around.

I went to see the doctor and she gave me antibiotics. It was probably an infection. She said if it doesn’t go down I would have to go get an x-ray done to check if the infection affected the bone.

Friday October 21st
The fever finally subsided. My medicine was soon to finish.

Sunday October 23rd
My elbow doesn’t hurt any more. The swelling went down, leaving just a small patch of red. It felt more mobile. Fever was gone… I played table tennis and badminton with Nik. It was no much of a problem because I am right handed. I won most of the games.


It may not be the end though it may seem like it...

I heard this song while I was in hospital watching MTV on the hospital TV and listening to the song with the headphone turned up max. Will try to type the whole hospitalised thing soon. The first time I was hospitalised (apart from birth) and operated on. It was a coincidence to be in my birth hospital. Getting better now.

The Scientist - coldplay

Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are
I had to find you, tell you I need you
Tell you I set you apart
Tell me your secrets, and ask me your questions
Oh lets go back to the start
Running in circles, coming up tails
Heads on a silence apart

Nobody said it was easy
Oh it's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said that it would be this hard
Oh take me back to the start
I was just guessing at numbers and figures
Pulling your puzzles apart
Questions of science, science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart
Tell me you love me, come back and haunt me
Oh and I rush to the start
Running in circles, chasing our tails
Coming back as we are

Nobody said it was easy
Oh it's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard
I'm going back to the start

Oh ooh ooh ooh ooh ohh (x4)

what we could have been, 11:47 PM.
