15 jan, monday
wanted to do scaling and polishing today but when i called ntuc denticare, they were all fully booked..then elise recommended me this dental clinic in bedok called bedok dental surgery (i know it sounds corny but that's the name!)..painless and cheap she kept telling me..so i braved the rain and went down (it is located behind bedok 85 market)..when i reached, the first sight that greeted my eyes was how 80s the exterior of the dental clinic was..and when i asked, the lady told me they do not have nets, only cash..after i withdrew the money and got back to the clinic to wait, i noticed that the interior probably has not been changed since the early 80s..dirty yellow walls, untiled cement floor, mouldy plastic chairs, chipped ceiling fan (the waiting area is not air conditioned!), aging cupboard behind a counter, rusty metal trays for the patients cards among other things! when i looked around, there were three patients waiting with me and all three were (i am convinced!) over 50! i was cursing in my mind "elise what have you gotten me into!"..i wanted to back out but since she seemed so convinced that the dentist was good, i stayed on..when it was my turn, i went into the dentist room and noticed how sparse it was, it was a big room separated into two by a dirty cloth-type portable partition..the dentist? well he was a healthy looking old man wearing a white translucent tee shirt and black pants (just like one of those void deck uncles!)..i am like "oh my gosh..here it goes!"..but then after everything, it was a good experience! like elise mentioned, it was fast and painless..the uncle, i mean dentist was really friendly and helpful and it was cheaper than most dental clinics as well! so now i have - well, not white - cleaner teeth for my first day at work! cool!
16 jan, tuesday
muse so totally rocks! they rocked so hard that i am now a bit deaf (partly due to the fact that we stood so near to the stage i suppose..but it's like upfront leh! so cool!)..sure, it was crowded, it was hot and there were lots of unidentified sweaty bodies rubbing next to each other but it was a helluva time! the band was super energetic and the crowd responded likewise..jumping up and down, hands waving in the air and clapping to the rhythm of every single song that the band played..super duper cool! i went with jingxian and her friends but ended up with jingheng, chinyong and his friend, amanda ..i think she's really cute, amanda..was dancing with her throughout the concert! :) (in case you were wondering, jinx apparently got swept away from me by a "human tidal wave"..i did not abandon her even though it may seem that way!)..oh and did i mention that muse so totally rocks? well they do!
during the struggle they will pull us down
but please please let's use this chance to turn things around
and tonight we can truly say
together we're invincible...
starlight
i will be chasing a starlight
until the end of my life
i don't know if it's worth it anymore...
if you're wondering why i haven't mention anything about my first day of work..it's because there is nothing to mention la..just induction, damn boring lor!
