finally i've decided

to go make a dentist appointment for my braces-making! it was decision made years ago but cos i was still saving up for it, i decided to wait. so now seems like a good time to get started on it.

first appointment with my dentist; did XRAYS, made a mould of my teeth.

the second appointment was on friday, was so nervous and scared that i couldnt sleep well the previous night. thankfully xueshen came along and accompanied me. had to have 4 tooths extracted. the moment he injected the anaesthesia, i could almost faint from the pain. then he started to shake, pull, twist and turn, and after 1hr, 4 tooths came out.

i think i looked very pale when everything was done. my hands were still shaking when i was making payment. that bad okay :(

so i went home with a bad headache and the blood wont stop flowing + my saliva kept drooling cos i had totally no sensation in my mouth. 6hrs after the procedure and its still bleeding :( but no choice was real hungry so forced down a small bowl of porridge.

past 2 days was real suffering for me. had to spent 1 and 1/2 hr just to finish up a bowl of porridge. but the pain kept disrupting my sleep that i had to wake up in the middle of the night to take painkillers.

i need proper food.
i need to be able to speak properly.
crossed fingers it will get better tomorrow.
till 12 days later, it will be another new experience for me.

never forgetting the one who reassured me throughout the night.

Happy Nurses Day

Photobucket

last sunday was Nurses Day (Singapore) ! woke up early in the morning and head down to hospital to support my ward people for this musical dance! :) hard work paid off - we came in 3rd! :)

recieved roses/messgaes from different doctors on the day itself. like they will only treat us nice on nurses day only =x too bad there's no Doctors Day!

and back to ward for afternoon shift after that -.- seriously, totally shagged out please. but still its nice to work on a sunday afternoon. i love the quietness in the ward, like finally there's peace after the 5 hectic weekdays.

it was once my passion, and im proud to say that, its still is :)

taiwan day 6 & 7

day 6 of taiwan and we are totally sian to the max. cos its left with only 1 day at taiwan and we'll need to be back to singapore the next and start working the following day :(

initially we had a plan to go somewhere(forgot exactly where) but we kind of lost our way and gave up searching for it.

Photobucket

Photobucket

went to this place which the movie (MONGA) shooting takes place. the place is vintage and its really interesting reading and understanding how the place (MONGA) came about.

Photobucket

Photobucket

head over to 阳明山 in the afternoon! its like hiking at Bukit Timah just that the scenery there is so much nicer :) and of course the weather is damn hot, melting under the hot sun. blood got sucked by the (*%^$@@ mosquitoes over there.

packed our daily supper back to hotel and we started the long hrs of packing out luggages. i dont know how but we managed to pack everything in! we were damn scared that all our luggages will overweight. thankgod it didnt :) and not forgetting to eat the so-very-delicious cup noodles! :)

Photobucket

day 7 of taiwan and we were all feeling moody. cos we didnt want the trip to end do fast :( did some last minute shopping and nua-ed at the hotel till the bus came to fetch us to airport @ 4.30pm. its really very difficult dragging all the heavy luggages :(

flight was at 7.30pm and  reached Singapore at 12am :) left the airport at 1am cause the luggage retrieval line got stucked -.- home sweet home :)

7days of taiwan really makes me relaxed and do nothing but just eat/sleep/shop :) if and only if i dont have to work when i come back to singapore =x

taiwan day 4 & 5

day 4 of taiwan and we were kind of exhausted from the shopping/walking for the past 3 days. so we were lazing in the hotel room thinking where to go for lunch and we ended up at this small stall by the streets. their speciality is dumplings but we ate none of them, instead we had their beef noodles. love how beef noodles taste at taiwan! :)

Photobucket

back to hotel for awhile cos it was raining very heavily :( we didnt want to get drenched in the rain :(

Photobucket

waited till the sky is clear and we head out to have our BBQ pork at this restaurant! the price is half of Singapore's! we ended up paying only $15 each for our many many plates of beefs/porks/seafood! tell me how not to love the food there? :)

head over to 五分埔夜市 for shopping again. but sadly i didnt get lots of stuffs from there =x

day 5 of taiwan and we decided to head down to TAIPEI 101 to see see look look. but the weather aint very good, it was drizzling the entire morning :(

Photobucket

had seafood ramen as our lunch before that.

Photobucket

Photobucket

didnt expect to buy anything over at TAIPEI 101 cause stuffs are quite expensive over that but still i brought back things from there -.-

train-ed to 士林夜市 after that we get more of our stuffs and back to our hotel. our legs are tired from walking already!

saw this totally cute and huge toy poodle at 西门町! seriously, the dog is almost the size of a golden retriever! reminds me of kenken! :)

back to hotel and nua-ed instead of packing =x

Photobucket

Photobucket

train-ed to 台北火车站 and change train to 基龙 after bus-ed to 野柳. the 45mins ultra bumpy bus ride up the hill can really break my back bones. back pain after the ride :(

but it was totally worth it, cause the scenery up there was fantastic to the max! the clear sky, the blue clear sea water, the breath-taking statues.

Photobucket

it was damn windy up there, and the sand was constantly blowing into our eyes which explains why we had to squint our eyes just to take pictures. all the sand sculptures were form naturally by the sand and wind. amazing works of the nature once again.

45mins bus ride and 1 hour train ride back to 西门町. exhausted to the max but not forgetting our usual supper + fav pearl milk tea! :)

hey people! im back from taiwan! :) actually im back since last tuesday but i've got no time to update cos i started work straight away the next day :( 7 days spent at taiwan is totally loved and relaxing. like the way how we dont have to rush for anything, do whatever and go wherever we like. the exchange rate at taiwan is awesome now, totally worth it! :) spent a total of $1400 to $1500 including air tixs for this taiwan trip! and thats why im on a shopping ban now :(

flight was at 7am in the morning, checked in at 5am and was feeling sleepy to the max. slept on the plane and reached taipei @ 12pm!

Photobucket

bus-ed to our hotel located right at 西门町, unpacked and nua in the hotel due to the heavy rain :(

went 士林夜市 when the sky is clear and shop&eat like crazy. food is real cheap and damn tasty! shopping was even better, lowest price for a top was like Sing dollars $5 only. totally awesome to the max! :)

the big cup of red tea below only cost like $1 !! :) really damn shiok to drink when the temp at taipei was like 33to34 degress celsius -.-

Photobucket

Photobucket

not forgetting the famous 阿宗面线 which is located at the street opposite ourt hotel! our daily supper at the hotel! :)
