I have been very unlucky for these few months.. My health has not been good and I got sick with high fever, flu, cough, sore throat etc during my exam period. I can't really focus on my revision and exams as I feel very tired and physically weak. I slowly recovered and thought that I can enjoy myself after my exams.. But now is my wisdom tooth causing me problems. It has been very painfully for past one week plus to two weeks. I though it is just some common gum problems when I get too heaty, but its getting from bad to worse and I cant even sleep or eat..
Finally, I can't stand the pain anymore and went to a dentist. He say that it is my wisdom tooth causing my pain and indirectly, it may cause me to have gum disease. The dentist ask if I wanted to extract my tooth right away or do some kind of cleaning, filling, etc to see if it gets better after that. Ofcos I opt for the cleaning as i'm very scare of pain. Last time, kelvin suffered for 2 weeks plus when he extract his wisdom tooth and he can't even talk or eat. However, there is a positive effect of his wisdom tooth extraction, that is... he quit smoking after that as he can't smoke during that painful period of time.. haha!
After the cleaning, my mouth still feel the pain and the doctor prescribe some extra strong panadols for me. Although I didn’t extract my tooth, but it still bled. Dun know if it bled from my gum or tooth, and I can only eat soft food for this period of time.. If the pain still continue in next one month time, I think I have no choice but to extract it out..
By that time, I think that I will not only suffer physical pain but heart pain as well. It will cost me at least $500 to extract the wisdom tooth and my company do not have dental claims!! I told my mom about it and she advised me to quit as this company do not provide those common employees welfare benefits as being provided by most of the companies (my company only provide insurance claim for hospitalized surgery). I somehow agreed with her as all of my ex companies have employees benefits of dental claims, medical claims etc... Since the job market is quite good right now, I may move on soon... =)

My Wisdom Tooth.. Ouch!!
Especially For All My Angels
You Are My Best Friend
You are my best friend through thick and thin
When You reach for my hand you touch my heart
You are the bestest friend that i can have.
You are there for me when i need you the most
You cheer me up when i am down
If i am about to cry u make me smile
You are my bestest friend and i cannot lie
You listen to me and give me advice
Advice that comes straight from the bottom of your precious heart
You are My best friend in the whole wide world and i couldn't ask God for a little bit more.
We are going to grow older, and things will change
But our Friendship will forever still remain
I'll make new friends but That won't change
Because you will always be my best friend
I'd like to mean as much to you as you mean to me
I'd like to be some help to you as you have been to me
I'd like to know that as we grow old our lives will change
But that our Friendship will still remain
Me and you will never be apart maybe in distance but never in Heart
For our friendship is way to strong to let it go off just like that.
All i can say is that you are my best friend
And i swear to God That i don't want it to change
I may move to a different state
But That doesn't mean that our friendship will end
Because you will always be my best friend.
No matter what life has destined for us
I know that our friendship will never die
Words From The Bottom Of My Heart:
A great THANKS for all the care and concern during this period of time.
I am really touched and will always remember this kindness.
No words can describe how much i appreciate this friendship,
and I am really very very glad to have such true friends around me.
Third Day of Bangkok Trip - 21/04/07
We suppose to wake up early today to make gd use of our last day to shop!! But i think the red wine is really very good... me and Steph have such a gd rest that we overslept!!! We only woke up when Sharon had prepared herself and come over to peep at us, and shock to see us trying to climb out of bed!!! We had a nice breakfast - Dunkin Donuts and Sushi in our rooms and very sweet of Stanrick to make tea for us... After taken our breakfast, Me and Steph pack our lugguage and moved it to Sharon's room as our room has to be check out by noon.
After checking out our room, we went to MBK again for our last round of shopping to buy some gifts, snacks and dunkin donuts to bring back to S'pore. Since we do not have much time to shop, we split into 2 group- me and Steph in a group, and the lover bird from the other group. We and Steph went for crazy shopping spree on beauty products and bags at level 3. I bought 5 bags and Steph bought even more bags than me!! After that, Steph went to shop for her kelvin's gifts, as for me, i shop for some lingeries. While i walking through the shops, suddenly saw some shop rushing to close up their shop and some people looking quite panic by their expression on their face. I went to ask Steph if she knows whats going on, and she told me that Sharon has sms her that there are fire and smoke coming out from Level 6. Im so shock when i heard it, and faster hold Steph hand to get out of the shopping mall (incase we lost each other in the crowd). At this moment of time, Steph very funny.. She ask if we can buy dunkin donuts before we get out of the shopping mall. At that time, i dun know if i should laugh or wat, i replied her that the donut shop shld be closed le and continue to head to the exit of the shopping mall. When we get out of it, we managed to meet up with the loverbird and we stand at a side to observe the situation.
At this time, sharon do a comical stunt that stone me. She saw me that she has taken a pic of firemen climbing up through the exterior wall of the building to put out the fire.. But when i look up to the building, it seem to me that the "firemen" are cleaning the windows of the building with pails of water and cloth.. haha.. After confirmation with Stanrick, the "firemen" are actually the cleaners lah.. Sharon blur sotong!!
After awhile, we saw fire engines coming to our direction one after the other. I think there are at least 7 fire engines and the situation should be quite serious.. Even the hotel staffs from the hotel next to MBK also come out of their hotel as well.
We waited for awhile, hope that we can continue to shop after fire being put out.. But in the end we dun think the shops will resume operation in next 1 or 2 hour, so we decided not to waste time and return back to hotel to put down our shopping bags and proceed for our massage!! As there are no cabs, so four of us squeeze into a toot-toot and head back to hotel. After we reach our hotel, Steph show us what she bought - necklace and ring for 1800 baht. After rested awhile, as we are walking out of the hotel for massage, Steph realise that she lost her necklace and ring that she shown to us earlier on. She faster went back to hotel room to search for her accessories.. After awhile, she come down look very disappointed that she cant find her accessories. We try to console her and told her that after we have our massage and our lunch, we will go back to hotel straight away to find her find her accessories.
Sharon , Stanrick and me choose the normal traditional massage and Steph choose a oil massage, so she went into a different room and three of us went into another room for our massage. Sharon very lucky, the one who massage her is a lady. As for me and stanrick, it is two guy who served us. Feel kind of funny and paisei as i used to been massage by ladies only. After the massage, we went into a cafe "bug and beetle" at next door for our lunch.
While waiting for Steph to finish her massage
In the cafe with Steph.
Although she is smiling in the pics but we know she feel very sad that she lost her accessories
Three Blind Mices =p
My lunch.. (Forget the name of the dish)
What you see is crepes with chicken and veggie.
Sharon's curry - The Gravy is very Yummy
Sharon also ordered skinny chicken wing.. Really lived up to the name of the dish!
Lastly, our dessert- waffles with ice cream!
After eating out lunch, it is already ard 4.45pm. We faster rush back to hotel to help Steph to find her accessories. We checked throughout Sharon's room, including our own lugguage bags, bed, drawer, toilet, rubbish bin, under the bed, table etc but still cant find her accessories. In the end, we giveup as we need to rush to the airport for our flight. At this moment, we all can sense that Steph is really very sad while Sharon and Stabrick check out their room. Steph is very quiet in the cab when we are on the way to airport. We reached airport at around 6pm and we try to cheer Steph up that her accessories maybe placed somewhere in her bag.
We took 8pm flight and reached S'pore at ard 11+pm. Steph bf, kelvin is very sweet. He reached airport at 10+pm le to fetch us and treated us to prata. We head back to Steph's house to take Stanrick's car and on the way we chat about the sound we heard in the hotel room and sharon said that she also heard funny noise when she is bathing.. Very creepy and my hair really stand at that very minute. Im abit scare after hearing the creepy discussion and very kind of Stanrick to send me home since no one pick me up from airport.. =( Actually, it is very disappointing to have no one fetch me from airport.. but luckily, i am blessed with friends...
On the next day, Steph called me up and told me that she had found her ring and necklace. It is hidden under the shirt that she bought for Kelvin.. Haha.., lucky she found her stuff, which concluded the trip as a tired but fun experience.
This is the first time i went tour with friends and during this period of time, when im very depressed with my relationship problems.. Thanks to them, they accompany me, talk to me and encourage me. I am really blessed to have such friends around me, cant imagine how am i going to tide through w/o them. Ofcos, i have to mention Chris as well. Although she didnt go to the trip with us, she being consoling and encourage me in office and asked Sharon to tk care of me when im in bangkok. The other person i wan to thanks is Tim as well. Thanks for his care and concern.. i will always remember and be thanksful to all of you... => Sharon, Stephanie, Chris, Tim, Stanrick... =)

Second Day of Bangkok Trip - 20/04/07
Picture taking to kick start our 2nd day of shopping sprees..
Stephanie and i woke up at 8.30am to prepare ourself to meet up with Sharon and Stanrick for second day of shopping spree at 9am. We went to the nearby BK for our breakfast and took a cab down Erawan Shrine for prayers to the Four Face Buddha. Although it is a friday morning, but theres already a crowd when we there. We do not know the exact procedure for the prayers therefore we stand at a corner to observe how others did their prayers before we pray. We paid 10 bahts for some joss stick and a ring of flowers and start our prayers. After our prayers, we took a cab down to MBK, one of the largest shopping malls in Bangkok. Today, i have bigger achievement than yesterday.. I bought a pair of sun glass, 1 handbag and some beauty products such as nail polish and eyeshadows. After that, we and stephanie head towards Watson to buy those general products such like acne gel, shampee, facial wash as it is so much cheaper than in S'pore and some of the products are not sold in S'pore as well.
After shopping for a few hours, we head towards the foodcourt for our lunch. We had SharkFins soup with rice and it taste yummy!! At the foodcourt, we need to buy coupons before we can buy our food, if there is any unused credits, we can exchange it back for cash.. Quite troublesome.. After lunch, we continue shopping again. Me and Sharon bought some beauty products again. She bought busher and mascara and i bought mascara for myself. Initially i wanted to buy a few pair of watches and shoes, but didnt find any that i really like..
At around 4+pm, we go and bought some dunkin donuts and sushi for our next day breakfast and went back to hotel for a short rest as Stephanie need to prepare herself to meet her bangkok counterpart for dinner later. Back at the hotel, Sharon went over to our room for a chat and to look at our "achievements" of the day.. Then my brain abit screw loose and suggest taking some pictures in our room.
"Flower" Power!!
Our pretty flower girl
Here come the grape girl..
