Saw a really interesting picture 2day.. Now if u'll turn to page 3 of ur Straits Time 2day, u would see a school girl in uniform who is one of e 11 top scorers who clinched 10 A1s for e O's. When I first flipped e page and saw e picture I was looking hard at her left.. chest area.. Haha.. For those who r unaware, I'm trying to find e trademark of Bukit Panjang Govt High's uniform~ a unique horizontal maroon strip of cloth on the superior marginal border of the left pocket, which was blocked by her hand. But e painting on her right confirmed my suspicions.. It was unusally familiar coz I drew it myself..( Like real.. haha) Yup.. I'm an old boy of e school liaoz.. It's nice to see ur great grand grand junior make headlines.. Anywae, e thing tat's so interesting is her expression.. She was like looking happy.. yet bewildered.. Plus a little tinge of craziness and perhaps she want to cry too.. (Like u throw all kinds of fruits into e fruit juice dispenser and press e button..) Damn farniee ah.. Can't help smiling to myself.. Reminds me of e face GF made like someone who is constipated.. Muhahaha..
Btw.. her name's Grace Ong..

I'm here to air my grievances again... Thou this time I'm ain't rushing off to study thou there's e DA MCQ test tomorrow.. And this blog's on quite a sensitive issue so those of e faint-hearted pls go somewhere else.
Earlier like 2 wks ago, our much-talked-abt Prof L warned us abt this circulating piece of MCQ test paper. Apparently our seniors performed extremely well and he suspected tat e paper's in circulation. So he was threatening us with wat would happen if we were caught with it.. Thing is, this kind of threatening won't work. If he want to do something abt it, pls pls pls go change e questions.. But my gut feeling is he won't.. If I'm slack, he's 1000% slacker than me... Kao! And if he's changing e questions, juz change ah..! Y bother to threaten us and tell us he will change Qs this yr?
2day we had our DA pract test. Which some of us soon realised tat it was e exact same paper a few yrs ago.. I didn't.. Needless to say, the paper was an illegal piece of item as well. Those who got hold of it and mugged for it.. Congrats.. Those who didn't.. tough luck.. And I never say life is fair rite..? The thing is, it was e exact same paper, even e sequence of questions r e same.. Its one thing if u get questions from different sources and lump them together so those who had studied will be able to answer and quite another if u get e questions from just one source and whether u will do well or bad depend entirely on whether u had read tat one toopid source. Yet those who had studied r merely penalised becoz they didn't haff e stinking shit of paper. If questions r changed every year, there won't be such a prob.. We too would haff past yr papers for reference.. The ultimate aim of tests is to ensure we have sufficient understanding of e subject tested rite? So it did no good even for those who had e paper.. Coz they'll be confident and merely study e stinking shit of paper and neglect other topics.. (Tat will include me of coz..) Ofcoz I exaggerating to e x'treme.. Anyway if u nue wat's coming out for e test tat'll defeat e purpose of tests..
It's not tat I like studying.. Or tat I like tests.. But I think we r students, and as students our duty is to ensure we had a good understanding of e subjects we r taking, be it they will be useful or not if our future line of career.
We r paying $16,500 a yr.. Prof L recieve $20,000 a mth.. For this kind of money, perhaps we should expect a decent kind of testing system? As far as to my knowledge, DA is e only subject tat repeat its past yr papers.. Perhaps it wouldn't pose a problem if there wasn't a leak of test paper?
Thru this u can perhaps witness something abt human nature also.. So maybe tat's y I'm throwing all e blame on Prof L instead..

Y am I here online when e rest of e class ain't? Suffice to say I'm still very much a slacker. And wat's this blog abt? Suffice to say its thanx to physio lecturer Prof Hwang's kou tou chan.. And if u're still wondering wat's his kou tou chan, suffice to say u r an idiot. Basically this phrase is so useful, can be use at anytime, anywhere, anyhow. Yup.. point taken and shall c it put into good use.

Argghh.. I'm online now to complain, vent my frustrations and air my grievances.. Trying to make me feel as guilty as possible so I will feel less guilty..? Don't nue wat shit I'm toking so dun't try and dissect this shit thou one thing is for sure.. I'm in deep shit.
I have not touched any Dental Anatomy material since day break to now and I'm still left with embryology of face, jaws and tongue and entire morpho and histo. Tell me who can be in deeper shit than me..
Anywae I woke up to e alarm clock this morning at 7am thinking wat e hell my twin set his alarm clock so early for. After this 10 sec he gave a discontented grunt to remind tat it was my alarm clock sadly. 2day was e bowling good times at West Coast Complex opposite Clementi sports stadium across AYE. Super cheap rates for bowling or pool or billard. Prof Loh had said he will return us e $10 fee if anyone of us didn't enjoy ourself. I always hate it when he's rite haha.. In grps of 3, each of us played atleast 3 games each and Anqi and Yee Hau made it for e individual challenges. Anywae, a major part of e value-added fun is e witnessing of totally new style of bowling. Rite D? Hiaks.. I call it e pendulum swing style.. U pull back e bowling ball back a little and then let it swing forward then backward for a couple of times to gain momentum and finally drop e ball. Haha.. it was damn unorthodox yet.. very cute. Then also how e whole class cheered when her ball scored a strike.. I guess its things like these tat spice things up.
Played e 3-player pool then after.. Interesting game with a whole new strategy which is something like tat of survivor.. U r now trying to keep ur balls on e table and hit ur opponents' balls in instead. So outwit and outlast and last one left standing is e winner. Tot it was a pretty slick game myself.
Then we went for lunch with Prof Loh and then finally bid farewell at 2 plus and I reached home at 3. I read papers abt e porno VCDs and recieve sms tat East side of Singapore is experiencing tremors due to quake in Sumatra. That done, I felt sleey and went to sleep.
I woke to e ringing of my hp at 5pm, with my army friend Chin, asking me if I'm free and if I can show him to e shop where me and Alan bought our PS 2 consoles for $388. So I went cycling to lead his car from West Mall to my place where I lent him
a portion of my games. DT: dun't worry.. ur games r still with me.. Then Chin drove me to e town centre and then at e shop there I was bringing up stories of how me and Alan had bought e consoles a year ago for $388 (already cheaper liaoz coz we 2 buy together) and yet now they r still selling for $375.. We bargained down to $360, which issn't alot but betta than none. And we also got off with an original controller instead of e plastic one which I got e last time. Quite a good deal I think.
Then I got home at 7.30pm, ate dinner and then come online to blog this entry. Now if u excuse me, I'm off to atone for my deeds.
Mugging.. mugging.. as fast as I can.. Do u nue if we'll make it?
Thou perhaps my 'fast' prob won't be even worth a 'brisk' rating by any standards. I found myself daydreaming away and then cursing my evil twin for making too much noise while he played wc3, then ps 2 then watch TV.. Even with him walking around, all his footsteps r making so much of a nuisance.. Argghhh!!
Sick and tired of mugging, or rather pretending to be mugging, let me tell u a story.. A good break for those who r tired of mugging and haff too much time to spare.
Titled: The man who refused to pay.
Three teenage boys, less than 20 years of age, stood waiting in the dark. They were talking about some dirty jokes when suddenly Johnny whispered, "Shhh, someone's coming!" Quickly they sprang into their positions, hands patting their blulging pockets. Straining his eyes, Jack, the gang leader, saw a stokily built man approaching. Only when he moved into the light of the isolated lamppost, did Jack realise the man was at least in his late forties. The man wore a dirty blue shirt, top buttons unbuttoned, revealing his chest hairs. The man was also grasping a glass bottle in his right hand. Closer scruntinization revealed redness in his eyes; then it dawned to Jack that the man was a drunk. An unmistakable stench of whisky enveloped the silence, confirming Jack's guess.
"We have company," whispered Jack and nodding his head. This will be their target for tonight. Too easy a target. Jack planted his hand into his pocket and drew out a pocket knife. The third fellow, Ace did the same and gave Jack the signal he was ready. Now they just waited. For 5 seconds.
The sruffy man was now in the centre of the impatient gang. Jack jumped into the path, blocking the drunk. The drunk was appalled, but did not know what was happening. "Hey kid, scram from old daddy's way," he snorted and tried to pass Jack. But Jack pushed the man back and swung his knife in the air until the drunk saw it with his half-closed eyes. Noticing menacing look in Jack's eyes, the drunk winced and looked around warily. Another guy had appeared beside Jack. To proclaim his presence, Ace coughed slightly and the drunk turned his head behind to find his escape route being cut off. Suddenly, the drunk realised the situation he was in.
Jack now patted the blade on his left palm slowly, then broke the unbearable silence. "Money?" he raised his right blow as he asked the obvious. A chill ran down the man's spine. He shivered. A cold wind was making his throat dry. Not wanting to waste any of his precious alcohol, he raised the glass bottle and emptied it in one gulp.
"No" came the reply, short yet shocking.
What is this fool trying? Does he want to get himself killed? The gang was appalled. They had never had such an occasion in the previous encounters. Nevertheless, they were now desperate for money and would even kill the victim for the bit of stinking money. It was not the first time they had murdered someone. This would make the sixth or seventh, they could not remember.
Jack gritted his teeth as he launched forward to attack. The man however was amazing fast; quickly shifting out of range of the plunging weapon, and then on Jack's withdrawal, drew forward and brought his wine bottle down on Jack's skull, full force. That alone did it. Jack collapsed on the ground, his head bleeding profusely. Jack was unconscious. Johnny and Ace watched in awe. Fuming with rage for revenge, both struck forward at him. Unable to focus his defence against the two attackers, the man was stabbed in his thigh and bruised in his arms and back. With a yell, he barged blindly at Ace with his skull and this blow forced the air out of Ace's stomach.
Snatching Ace's knife away, the man shuffled his body and gave a hard kick at Ace's exposed stomach. Ace staggered back. Suddenly the man felt a sharp sting right across his exposed back. Swaying back, the man saw the dark figur of Johnny and with a roar of victory, plunged the knife's blade deep into Johnny's heart. Johnny opened his mouth and gave a gasp. He fell. Eyes opened. The man then heard a scuttling behind him and looked behind to see the retreating back of Ace.
Silence returned. Unbearable silence.
The sting on his back develop into a threshold of pain. He touched behind and felt a sticky liquid. Scruntinizing his fingers, he saw fresh, red blood. All drowsiness left. He screamed. He was ever so afraid of blodd. He did not know what happened. He looked around to see two bodies lying on the ground around him. The ground was puddled with blood and glittering glass pieces. What had he done? Slowly, he remembered the incident. It was the whisky that had given him strength and the courage yet stupidity to say "no". Still, he could not believe what he had done. Suddenly he had a thought. Stepping cautiously on the dry ground, he moved a trembling hand into Jack's pocket. Nothing. Then he moved around to the other body. In Ace's shirt pocket, he found a wallet. Ripping open, the man found a lousy $5 note. He took it out, place the note into his empty pocket and threw back the wallet back to the corpse. He needed another drink to calm his nerves.
The end.
Yup.. So this' e story.. Some of u may find it familiar ya? It's a composition which I had written in secondary 4.. Pretty slick huh? I tot so myself. Yup yup.. Anywae I like my essays written this way.. Not some toopid descriptive, boring GP questions which I super duper hate!! I cannot stand e lengthy articles for one.. Like after 1 paragraph u start dozing off liaoz.. And it doesn't help when e GP teacher is super monotonous.. Like a fly buzzing around in e background while u trying u find e most comfortable spot for ur head. So imagine my surprise when I got C6 for GP..
Anywae, I managed to keep my sec 4 essays and its interesting to read wat u had written.. Something like diary but diff coz got e imaginative factor and then u see ur teacher's red marks and circles everywhere correcting grammer, spelling and sentence structures' mistakes. So farniee.. I would have kept more ancient essays too if they haffn't disappeared when I started to seek them.
Anywae this essay is actually a rewrite.. A complete different story line from e previous failed one and then one fine afternoon my english teacher, Mr Lazko was telling all e rewriters to find him in e library coz he finished marking e rewrites. And then when it was my turn, he said "It's going to be so easy for u.." Then he start questioning me if I had written e paper myself.. Wat e..? It's true I haven't exactly exactly excelled in english before but some pple r like unpolished gems can? Muhahaha.. Anywae tat paper was quite a sentimental one for me coz it really boosted my morale for essay writings. Since then, whether its becoz Mr Lazko want to encourage me or becoz there's really an improvement in my essays, I managed to get quite decent markings.. I got an A2 for prelims and B3 for Os.. something which I would not haff imagine in sec 3.. Yup.. Wanna really thank Mr Lazko for being such a wonderful english teacher.
Again.. thanx father, mother, brothers, blah blah blah and most of all thanx to Xueli, e most intelligent, chioest and farniee gal blah blah blah..

This morning I've been running, running, as fast as I can.. And still I came in like 20 min late for the phsyio test.
Damn e traffic.. It was more than a killer.. It was Hitler. I was doomed to be late in e very first place.
The test was supposed to start at 8.30am.. Usually 30 min would be sufficient to reach to reach NUS from my place, which include e time to walk to e busstop and an avg waiting time of 8 min. Becoz of the test, I set off at 7.30am.. A full 1 hr for me to walk slowly and look at pple.. Or so I tot.. First bus arrived after 15 min of waiting but was already pack with commuters liaoz.. Usually 2 buses would follow soon after tat, and tat there'll be enuff standing space for everyone.. But the next bus came at 7.55 which was again full-house. And e next at 8.05 which I boarded.. Teck Soon: BB was there too and was waiting for a cab after she missed the first bus.. But even all e cabs r unavailable.. She was still waiting for e cab when I boarded e third bus.
And then it was one hell of heavy traffic. Juz fall short of a jam.. There was never a journey continued unhindered for more than 15sec? Urgh.. Damn irritating.. I'm glad I didn't take a cab.. It probably won't any good x'cept burning an enormous hole in my wallet with all e waiting times. The traffic condition persisted all thru e way until it hits e AYE and became smoother. WS had replied my call and told me there will be no x'tra time given. Ofcoz I ought to be faulted when all e rest of e students are able to make it on time. But e last physio test we had was one hell of a paper and time wasn't exactly an luxury. I reached e AYE science busstop across e road at 8.42pm and e destination was COFM, MD3, which ain't exactly close. Since it was a monday with an op tech lesson I was unfortunately in my shirt and pants. I'm aware of all e strange glares I would get if I run but en, there's ain't really an option is there?
It's been quite some time since I had run.. And surprisingly it felt quite good even thou at such an awkward situation like this. And my stamina had fallen again since e last time. I hoped it's becoz of e leather shoes but.. haha.. we all nue better..
I got to recover myself somewat at MD 3 building, storey 1 infront of e lift. As u can believe my luck, it was at level 2 and ascending. It would be a suicide if I ran up e stairs to 5 storeys. So I waited for e lift which had ascended to the 6th floor (Y am I not surprised?). I managed to get into e test hall at 8.50am.. Abt 40min left.. I managed to rush thru 20 MCQ Qs and 2 structured essays thankfully..
As a sign of defiance I was telling some brothers of mine tat I should have come 1/2 hr late instead coz like still got 15 min left haha..
Hiaks.. There's always a lesson to be learnt from something and of coz this is not excluded. The lesson is of coz~ WHEN THE WORLD IS AGAINST U, ITZ AGAINST U!!
Haha..
Listening to running~ no doubt.

Happy Valentine's Day everyone. And to all e single souls like me, try not to feel too sad ok..? I got a couple of friends who were like.. "wallowing in self-pity" (wisp, quoted from a friend) thou I think e words are abit too strong.. Anywae this blog is written in honour of D asking me a question.. Do I feel sad this valentine?
I'll be honest with u that I had had in past yrs feel abit disappointed. I was quite sad tat I had missed out on all e schooling romance stuff.. "Relationships during secondary schools r e purest.. Coz e couple only haff each other on their minds.." said HR. The older u get, e more things u r troubled with... (Tat's y I dun't want to be spiderman. "With great powers come great responsibility", which I can gladly do without haha..) Anywae I tot it makes kind of sense.
This year I amazingly took it by e stride thou. So much so I feel like telling e rest, "stop whinning and get a life!" So much time and energy is wasted on wisp. If only u could divert this energy to ur work or studies I'm sure u'll be glowing inside.. And perhaps with luck, impress some girls? Or maybe e girl u r looking for haffn't appear yet? And if she does, pls do urself and e world a favour by initiating something. Time's not gonna wait for u and u alone. U must try and break out of this.. wisp-cycle.. haha..
Of coz I'm no expert myself since I can hardly be considered an amateur in e fields of love. But this I nue.. Deep down I'm just a simple guy wishing a simple girl to love me as much as I love her totally. Tat will be e most romantic story of all times..
Actually someone pisses me off terribly 2day but since now is 4hr plus into e Holy Day For Love, I shan't elaborate anymore. And I want to thank mio father, my mother, my 2 brothers in e completion of this entry. But most of all I want to thank Xueli- a chiobu of all times- for crapping with me till 4.. *grumble grumble.. ~Happy now?

Becoz 2morrow's Public Dental Health day and I'm in e 1st shift, I rescheduled my student, Ying Ming, to come over my place 2day instead. But I was in for a surprise.. Instead of hearing one kiddy voice I heard two.. Yup.. There's another boy beside him whom YM introduces as his neighbour and claims he die die drag along with him. This boy, although also P6, is half e size of YM.. My.. he's really super duper small size looking more like a P2 than P6.. Anywae I was thinking to myself, "Wat e hell is he doing here? These P6s really got too much time to spare.." Coz YM dun live very close to me and has to take 15 min worth of busride to come over. And this kid followed him all e way here. I was abt to chase him away when my nice and intelligent mum invited him in and tried to psycho him tat he need tuition as well. But apparently he had quite alot of tuition teachers liaoz so.. oh well..
With nothing to do, he basically joined in for a free tuition session. Like YM, he's a touchy, feelly, talky little rascal.. (word learned from Prof Loh) Y can't I haff better luck with getting quiet, obedient students? On a brighter side I can treat it as a practice to improve my relation skills with kids, which ia essential for paediatric dentistry.
B4 YM became my student, I helped out a friend giffing a tuition class at communtity centre to a bunch of P4 kids. Tat session was a total disaster.. The kids were yaking away soon and after e first few outbursts of pretended fierceness, they realised my treats were nothing more than pleads and soon they were yaking away even more loudly than b4.. I swear then I will never take another class of kiddos..
And when YM first became my student, because he's my mother's friend's kid, I am quite put off with his touchy, feelly, talky nature.. "Hey let me see ur hp.." I put it some distance away and en he will then spend large amt of time executing commango style retrieval missions. "Let me see ur skull.." (e one my line pass down) "Y ur hair so long? U want to be a gal izzit?" Then his fingers will start approaching my hair. "U got gf?" "Can I play ur computer or PS2?" But perhaps as time passes on, I become more accustomed to e ways of a kid? Juz like Tom Cruise becoming accustomed to e ways of a samurai and eventually grew to love and embrace e ways. Not tat I feel like embracing YM.. I realise too tat e sessions r very much more fun with pple like him than perhaps e quiet, obedient students. Kids say e darnest things.. (thou he's P6, he's still a kid to me) Once I asked him how old he think I was and he said 31... Best lor.. When all my friends say I look younger my age. Was sharing with Dennis.. like if I was oneday walking along with Clement, imagine someone approaching and telling Clement, "uncle, dai hai zi chu lai wan?" A bit extreme haha.. And 2day when he learned my youngest brother YJ is giving tuition to other kids, he told me he was so glad tat YJ wasn't tuitioning him. I questioned him y and he said YJ looked very fierce haha..
And tat time juz b4 I shed my golden glory, it was him who helped me take a picture of my puny pony tail. And if I'm going out after tuition, he will wait for me to bathe and change finish, even thou we only took e lift down b4 we split? And 2day he jioed me next time go play cs.. Unfortunately tat will have to wait until after exams..
Teaching english comprehensions and cloze passages are actually quite informative too. Like 2day I learnt tat Titanic was offically launched on november 1911 and in less than a year got itself sunk on october 1912. But I tell u something tat is damn sei men.. I was doing this cloze passage which was abt this gal who met an car accident juz after getting her degree and got herself in coma. I quote: "she was studying at National University of Singapre for her dentistry degree"... Y dentistry? It's e smallest fac in NUS and yet its mentioned..
Anywae, its really heartening to see tat tuitioning sessions tat once I felt quite disgusted in actually become something I enjoyed. Although some pple may dislike e way I mingle with my student, tat I should be more authoritative and have a clear cut teacher-student relationship, but tat's juz the way I am. Who am I to reject a friendship when it comes along?

Our hum sa DA prof did it again.. Finally appearing in class 2day after 2 wks of MIA (missing in action), he gave us a lecture on later development of teeth. Which again like most of his lectures is totally fei.. eg. "After enamel and dentine formation, something will happen." Fullstop. Yeah.. I also nue something will happen. It's more likely than nothing will happen. Guess I can be a professor too? Think if u read up for 1 hr it's more productive than listening to his 10 hrs worth of lecture. Still, I guess e so called most 'informative' part of his lecture is his dirty jokes.
#1~ He was saying tat u can dun nue the details except e basics of diseases and such. (Betcha tat's his policy in life). Something along this line~ "Like the bird flu u must nue it comes from bird right... Although other diseases may come from featherless and non-flying birds.."
#2~ "Guys like viagra, girls like niagra" This one's abit chim coz most of e guys dun't get him. So he explained, "Niagra Falls alot of water rite? Water make u wat?" Answer is wet ah.. Tecksoon, BengWee, Ivan and Henry: i.e. wet WK..
Anywae, was sharing to WeiSong tat if u r sexually healthy and yet consume viagra, its going to be very damaging to ur health. Coz blood pressure is already high in e organ and u r forcing yet more blood with e blue pill.. If red liquid start oozing out instead pls dun't be surprised.. haha.. K.. except for e red liquid part, e information is a courtesy from Rod Monteiro of e Morning Express.
1 thing I like abt going to school early in the morning is so I can tune into morning express.. Their craps are so farniee and at times informative too.. Tat's y during hols when I everyday sleep till past noon, I find myself missing e talk show..
Yup.. enuff crapping for now.

Arrgh.. Been super ineffective in mugging today. Reached home at 4pm and slept all e way to 8.30pm.. The natural position of a slacker. Then ate dinner and tried to study abit butta e factory across e road is having its chinese new year party. Yess.. a light industrial zone just across the road. Even now the music is pouring in so I decide to do something more constructive like making another blog entry.
Teck Soon, Bengwee and all those who attended 42 SAR ORD function would nue excatly how e party across e road is like.. It's an exact replica- with dining tables and stage staged up in 2nd storey of e multi-storey carpark. From my room I gotta a vintage view of e performers blasting their vocals on stage complete with sound and disco lightings system. And then with e tiger beer waitresses serving e beer around.. Haha.. sure bring back memories on e ORD function nite.. Chin was totally drunk and then sprewing vomit all over e floor and then collapsing on his own vomit.. Best.. Tried to pick him up but he seemed reluctant to leave his biological waste.. In e end a couple of us helped him back to his bunk where he puke some more..
Xiaoz ah.. he's not ORDing until 1/2 yr later together with us yet he's like downing glasses of beer like nobody's business. Even thou beer's free flow, u don't drink like tat.. Then when its obvious he's drunk, T K Tan pestered him to drink some more... Damn damn farniee.. But like wat Nijam had said, if u want to get drunk, wat better time than is to get drunk with ur friends?
K.. shall watch American idol now.. Hopefully can catch someone as interesting as William Hung.
Haha.. Got a nice little game going.. Me and a few of my classmates r standing by our favourite survivor casts and see who will last e longest.. I'm obviously for Rupert, Bran for Jenna, Kenneth for Shii Ann and Xueli still undecided.. Juz a little game to distract us from e menacing exams lurking ard e corner.. http://www.cbs.com/primetime/survivor8/index.shtml

Hmm.. Its sad to see Rupbert's tribe saboga lose e very first immunity challenge.. In the last pearls islands survivor, his tribe has won like 3 immunity challenges in a row.. Then he's so damn confident and full of gusto... But 2day's episode like he's more tamed down.. New strategy I guess.. Then his skirt is gone also.. On a brighter (horny) note there's this guy, Richard, who remove his shorts whenever he feel like it, flashing his err... watergun.. Dun't like him.. Think he resemble somewat to our physio lecture Mr Attention Seeker.. Think he's so special, a higher cut above the rest.. His tribemates all call him "king" behind his back.. I super hate this kind of pple..

I am reluctant. To let go.
My hair tat is..
Ever since I ORDed I went for only 2 haircuts for minimal trimming.. Saved quite a bit from e hairdressers haha.. Anywae I have wanted to keep long hair since jc but neva had e chance coz of e jc and army regulations. I mentioned in my last blog entry how I relish on e freedom of choices once I ORDed. Yes.. Since I ORDed on may 18th I stopped cutting my hair. On 26th July, I caught e first glimpse of how my classmates look like during e dentistry's first freshman orientation programme~ amazing food race. I had thought we will introduce ourselves to each other then but instead we set right off in our own small grps of 2 freshies and 2 seniors. Guess they wanted us to interact with e seniors first..? Anywae towards e end of amazing food race, everyone gathers at e final destination: Lau pa sa.. It was then when Alvin asked me if I'm a Singaporean coz my hair very long liaoz and he tot I didn't serve NS. And I got more comments on my journey home on train with Fengyi, Siwen and Xueli. They were actually quite saddened tat they got an 'ah beng' for a classmate- tat is b4 I start speaking to them.. So much so first impression I guess.. And an invaluable lesson on not to judge a book by its cover.. Tsk tsk tsk..
Long hair issn't really easy to maintain either.. esp e long fringes. U got more to shampoo each time and everytime when u try to eat or drink something ur fringes will be trying to tell u they r hungry or thirsty.. ya.. my fringes like ba chuo mee soup especially. And everytime u study u find ur vision reduced to half. My mum actually kindly bought me hair clips and head bands.. But I disliked e feeling of rubber ard e forehead so I use clips. Troublesome rite?
But once u feel e wind breezing thru ur flapping fringes u'll feel everything is worth it.. Yeah yeah.. I'm vain. Human beings r vain by nature.. But I dun go to xtremes like facials.. hope I dun offend anyone, like MJ haha.. Long hair has its advantages too.. Like shield ur eyes from e harmful UV or hide ur closed eyes during lectures.. Advantages or disadvantages aside, when u haff kept something for quite a long time u came to have feelings for them. It's esp all e troubles u have gone thru tat makes shedding of ur golden glory so painful.. Yess.. I have decided to cut my hair 2morrow.. Something which I had promised my parents and myself.. After chinese new year and b4 mugging of physio test. I can do without e next 2 mths clipping up my hair during e 2 mths worth of intensive mugging.. I'm still clueless how short I want to cut it thou.. I shall decide 2morrow on e hairdresser's seat.
U may wonder y this idoit is rambling on abt his hair when he can juz grow it back.. Trouble is.. once we started our clinical terms, which is at e end of yr 2, we will have to uphold e professional image of doctors which include short, neat hair for guys..
So I guess it's goodbye hair.. The longest and e most beautiful hair in e world.. Maybe I'll take a picture of my hair's golden age b4 e massacre session. And then I can tell any long-haired dude.. "Been there, done tat.."
