Crazy birthday wishes

Hmmm.... how should I reward myself this year? My birthday is just in a few days time and I can't think of anything to buy for myself. Well, maybe there are a few things, but sigh... they are way beyond my reach, financially speaking. Hahaha... The newly launched Honda CB1100 [ABS], Yamaha's boat W-19GH fully imported from Japan, all the things that I wish for are all big boy toys, costing tens of thousands each. Here I am, the weird teenager who wishes for crazy things and not what typical teenagers would like such as a PS 3 or a MacBook. Hahaha... and here I am just day dreaming...but I am telling myself, I am going to give myself 10-12 years to get all these.

Since I know that I wouldn't get what I wish for this year, and considering that I've laid eyes on a new pair of shoes from Puma, I think I'll just get them as a present for myself. Will upload the pic of the shoe once I buy them...

EveryoneConnects.net is so popular recently with their song, Through My Window. While I like the song, I love the adverts that TM made using that song even more. So cute... I feel like I'm the poor guy cut out of paper, hahaha... Anyway, kudos to those who came out with the idea... Superbly creative...

Work hard, work smart, no need to work??? >>> Education???

How tough is the human body?
How much weight can one carry?
How long can one withstand using a 42lbs demolition hammer?
How many times can one swing a 14lbs sledge hammer?

These are the few questions that went through my head for the past few days. I've been working with dad to hack floors and demolish walls of an apartment. Using the demolition hammer to hack the floors, the vibration and the weight the hammer itself is mad. Weighing 42lb, carrying the hammer up and down, up and down is extremely tiring. Next was to carry down the stones. Each sack of stones weigh at a minimum of 20 - 25 kilos and there are at least 1000 sacks. Luckily there are 5 - 6 workers to help or I would have ... died??? hahahah... LOL...

All these hard work, most of the workers at the construction site advises me to pursue better education for a better future. The stuffs they told me, you guys would have probably heard of it before. Well, remember those days when we were kids, and our parents used to tell us, "thak chea gao gao, pat tao cho ho kang, ah bo tiok ki sau sampah". LOL... Anyway, whether its an easy job or a hard one, someone has gotta do it and if all people begin to think that a better education would definitely guarantee a better future, I suggest you better wake up. No doubt education may grant you an easier job in a more relaxing and comfortable environment, the pay that you get may not necessarily compete or even match half of what these people earn.

Another issue is education abroad. With the Australian Dollar appreciating again at RM3++, it is gonna cost a bomb to study there. Some say that its not worth it and that it's a waste of money while others say its the chance and opportunity, the experience and the exposure to differing culture but I say it is just a privilege. Studying abroad is not a necessity although some may argue that the degree would somehow be better compared to the ones obtained locally. Studying locally be it a private uni or a local, government supported one, whether its in Penang, KL or in Perlis, one should never feel ashamed. Keep in mind that you are not lacking in any sort as compared to them, education wise. To me it is just a luxury that one can afford to travel and at the same time pursue education. Anyhow, its very much debatable as some may have plans to migrate abroad. Hmmm... what says you???

Pain... I went through hell in the past two days

First and foremost, Happy birthday to my blogger friends/ex-coursemates, Su-Lyn and Fiona. I wish them best of luck in all their future undertakings and may all their wishes come true.

That's it... and now back to me. PAIN. That is all I've felt for the past two days. PAIN. Having decided to change my orthodontist, I should have seen this coming. I was very much well aware of the consequences, being told that another 3 teeth extraction is required. Despite that, I went ahead with it. I went ahead cause I've had it with my previous orthodontist. I'm not going to reveal much here but I'm just going to ask you just one question. How can you still get your treatment from a doctor that hide things from you and not being honest with it?

Anyway, I've to say, this new orthodontist which also happens to be my dad's friend is awesome. She may not be as well known as Dr Looi but I'm pretty sure I'm under good hands. I think I'll get the results that I want and I'm really looking forward to it.

I had 2 teeth extracted yesterday. I don't think I've to mention the pain again. Scaling is also very very painful. It couldn't stop bleeding for hours and I had to return to clinic to have something stuff inside my gum. The bleeding then stops for a couple hours and it resumes again during midnight, causing stains all over my pillow. I didn't sleep through the night, having to bite a gauze to stop the bleeding and it finally stopped at 10 a.m this morning. If you're wondering why I am ranting so much, I didn't ate a single thing the entire night. I couldn't. 11 am and I am back to my orthodontist to fix back the wires. I notices that she uses a different technique. Anyhow, the pain is still there. In fact it got worse after the wires are fixed. We'll see how it goes, another teeth to be extracted next week.

P/s: If you're wearing dental braces currently, and if you're a patient of Dr. Looi, mind if I suggest you to get a second opinion from another orthodontist. Consult another person and see what he/she has to say about what Dr Looi has done for you. Maybe he/she could point out a thing or two that Dr Looi might have missed out.

David's party

OCTOBER... If I'm not mistaken, most of my friends and the people I know are born in the month of October. Every year, throughout the entire month, I'm expected to receive lots and lots of mails from Friendster and Facebook reminding me of my friends birthday. That said, speaking for myself, I'm also an October baby. Anyway, today, October 4 happens to be the birth day of one of my ex-classmates and friend, David Yap. Besides that, today also happens to be the one year anniversary of me being really drunk and kinda wasted and damnnn..., I've been blogging for a year already now. Hmmm... I could still remember, my very first post in the previous blog (which is now defunct) was a day after David's birthday party.

Anyhow, I'll be blogging about David's birthday party again. If we had the party at the beach last year (which was freaking messy, sticky and yucky; a big LOL), this year, David rented a service apartment. How's that for a start? Hehehe... Instead of the sea breeze, we opted for the air conditioner. The chill box was not needed this year, we've a fridge. Hahaha... and not forgetting the convenience of relieving ourselves in a toilet (using the toilet at the atap house cafe/bistro behind Paradise Hotel at a cost of 20 cents last year, which is another big LOL).

Going to the food now. If we took our dinner at Northam Beach Cafe last year, this year we ate in the service apartment. 8 large sized pizzas from Domino, lots of cream puffs, a big portion of fried maggi (courtesy of David's mom) and definitely loads of junk food Twisties to kacang tanah Cap Tangan, hahaha...

For the drinks, we have a few bottles of carbonated drinks, a carton of Oranjeboom lager beer and 3 bottles of liquor. But I've got to say, I really really enjoyed the beers. Oranjeboom can kick some ass, LOL. For the cakes, there were no cakes this year. There is a cake, but it was smashed all over David's face, hahaha... it happens every year, its becoming a tradition.

What I like about the party:
Meeting friends, some that I've lost contact with since secondary school
The card game, and ping pong piang
Definitely the beer

What I dislike about the party:
Fucking braggers
Investment seller??? WTH???
Childishness, immaturity... (a big LOL)

P/s: Just helping a friend. Ladies, you might wanna check out http://the-loopz.blogspot.com/ for their opening promotion.
