the city's in surrender

What a 2 weeks i had. Time flies. Well, too fast i think. Sometimes i just hope i had spent time more wisely, cos i noe i cant stop it or slow it down.
I went to Sitex on the first n last day. The same old stuff as previous IT exhibitions. Had nothing to buy, and there wasnt any xbox or playstation to play either, so sian. But at least i observed how the ppl there work. Seems being a IT fairs veteran has a benefit. Next time i noe how its like to work in such surroundings. Cos im keen to work part time to be productive durin hols. Of course i wont overwork myself. n i rather not work than get only a pitiful pay like $2-3p/h. $4 is ok. Aniwae i some stuff i saw at Sitex and neighbouring Big Boyz Toyz, like cars n 'flyer party'. The flyer party dun seem to think. They all lined up, and attempt to pile the visitor wif flyers, leaving them irritated. And even more ignorant (cant say stupid, cos not true, n later kena like wee shu min) was tt they all stationed at 1 door, leaving the other doors 'unguarded'.

Woooo!!! Cars!

On Tues i had a dental surgery to do 2 things, extract 2 teeth to prepare for braces, and also remove a tooth tts apparently buried in my left gums, below my molars. The dentist said tt its becoming more common among our generation, and added tt if fully grown, it can uproot the tooth above it. The surgery went smoothly. I just hate it when the anesthetic was injected. But sumhow i love the vibration of the drill drilling my gums to remove the tooth. I saw the buried tooth afterwards , and it was like a normal tooth, with its roots, except its small. Sad tt i forgot to ask the dentist for the 3 teeth, and he forgot to ask me for it too. So when i tried to ask him later, he said he threw it away already. But i still got 2 teeth from an earlier extraction. Posting the pic just to let u all see what ur teeth looks like with the roots.

Then yesterday, my family went to orchard rd. I went to kinokuniya while my dad tried to find a parkin slot sumwhere in the big big central area tt apparently has little little free or cheap parkin. Who so stupid to park in shoppin mall when got free parkin everywhere? So hence the trouble. Found 3 eng-jap dictioneries, out of which i think this one is the most value-for-money.

Later we went to a high-class goods store, n my mum bought the bag she has been considering for years (apparently). Then we went to wheelock place, went to Borders first, where i head to the familiar spot for books on martial arts. Saw a book written by Jigoro Kano himself! Then headed to crumpler upstairs. Tried 2 models wif different colours. I think i'll stick wif crumpler for brand reliability, design, and durability. The price was originally a problem for me, havin grown up to be thrifty. But theres a saying, "yi fen qian, yi fen huo", meaning tt what u pay is what u get, if u go for cheap, the quality may be lower, if u go for ex, u get guranteed good quality goods. I quite like the designs, and aniwae since crumpler's gettin common, wif its reliability proven, i'll just go wif the flow.

After tt we tried going to geylang for the famous beef hor fun for dinner, but gave up becos of parkin problems (again), n we went to some secluded place near aljunied mrt for fish head steamboat. I was initially angry cos i thot we're eatin normal zhi char, ordering pomfret tt we often eat at home, n tt its already 11pm, but i was wrong. The steamboat came, and the soup was delicious! Seems tt simple food can also be good!

From this incident i realised tt i've still got a hot temper problem. Maybe becos i was hungry. But anyway, i noe i gotta try settle my hot temper, trying not to get so angry easily, staying calm before i noe the truth. Im not sure how, but i'll find a way. Maybe yoga or meditation? Haha.
