It's been superrr long since my last post. lol. So busy. What to do :/

Anw, I FINALLY got a job. Admin one. haha now then i realise how boring it is to sit in the office the whole day doing data entry. lol. And so much inactivity makes you feel fat D:

haha and baking lessons are adding on to the weight gain. SO MANY NICE BREADS TO BRING HOME EVERY WEEK :D hehee. Anw, i'll definitely post them up once i figure out how to work the picture upload thingy. (not exactly very good with IT stuff...)

Yep. That's it for now. Gotta go sleep cuz i'm meeting brenda for our long-awaited outing tmr. Ciao! ^^

1st baking lesson today...and it was really tiring, but nonetheless, still fun and interesting. I was quite paiseh when i first entered the class, cuz everyone seemed to brought along a friend while i'm the only one standing around, not knowing where to sit. In the end, i was offered a seat by 2 nice uncles. Phew. The rest was okay. haha but i realised making bread from scratch is really hard work and i'm glad for machines to help mix the dough. Cannot imagine mixing everything manually...can get muscles from doing all that work xD Anw, brought home lots of bread and i'm happy that my family is still quite patronising to eat them. lol. To be honest, the funny caterpillar shapes that i made were quite fail...could barely see any shape and the red bean was super unevenly undistributed :P But i guess they are all the same once in the mouth. haha.
So proud of myself though. I was the only one in my group that managed to make the complicated leaf-like hot-dog bread. I'm quite good with my hands. yay! :D We also baked choco swirl, hotdog spiral, almond spiral, pandan red bean anpan bread and cheese twist. So many different types of bread right? haha no wonder the chef said that we would be having bread for dinner, supper and breakfast xD

Anw, it was a good distraction from all my recent frustrations. Still looking for a job and it doesn't help when you see your friends getting internships. So lucky. It's super rare for A level grads to get internships even before entering uni. Sighz. Pray hard and hope that I'll be able to make up my mind and get great opportunities like that. Hope for a better future.

*yawn* Okay. super tired now. Gotta go rest and then get ready for a new day! :)

Day 6 of my recovery...and the my lower jaw is still abit swollen :(

Sighz...6 days going without solid food makes me feel all jelly.
Even when i wanted to plan what to do after i recover, i could barely think properly cuz i have NO ENERGY...and it doesn't help when all you think of is sushi..spaghetti..fried rice...instant noodles..bacon......

rawr. Can't wait for my gums to heal and go back to normal. but i heard it takes at least 3 weeks before everything really goes back to normal. So i guess it's another month of pain (not to mention i still have my braces)...

Anyway, I'm just glad that it's over and i can now focus on other things. One new year resolution down. yay xD

Sedated xD

Just had my wisdom tooth surgery done this morning.

I was super nervous when i got there...and the happy banter in the dental room was not comforting..lol. But the one of the anesthesians sat down and asked me some questions, briefed me through the procedure...only stopping at the part whenby i start to get sleepy from the medication. Probably knows what happens after would be of little importance cuz i wouldn't be aware of it. I was super nervous the whole time but funny, his nice calm voice actually helped to soothe my emotions. yeah. i thought that with a nice calm voice, he would also be nice and gentle when he injected the medication.haha.

When the surgeon finally came, he briefed me about the surgery. then we went into the room. The nurse gave me a nice warm blanket. (which was awesome and nice cuz i was afraid of just lying in that scary cold seat) After that, the guy tied a band on my right hand (to my surprise, cuz i thought he would poke in the left one which has a clearer vein), and in went the butterfly-like needle. After much poking and tugging, he told me that the vein was too small. Next thing i knew, he tied the band on my left hand, sterilised the back of the hand and poked. I squealed. The needle was in place and plastered. i leaned back into the chair and.....

I was awakened by the nurse and anesthesian, as they happily shaked me and repeated, "It's over". Haha but all i thought then was "it's over? yay great. now let me get up...arrhhh..too tired." As they waved and smiled goodbye to me, all i could manage is a weak smile and constant nodding of my head. But i'm really grateful to these wonderful doctors. Thanks to them, my surgery went on smoothly and i felt minimal pain. And i underestimated the sedation. It was good. I would advise people to get it if you are willing to pay a bit more...especially if it's more than one wisdom tooth. But if it's just one, then save the money and just opt for local.

I only realised how powerful the local anesthetic was when the nurse tried to feed me with glucose (i thought it was water). I could barely feel anything and thus could barely move my mouth. After much struggling, i managed a few gulps before going back to sleep. After lying in the dentist chair for quite some time, i regained some strength and went home, walking like a drunkard until i got on a taxi.

Slept for 3 hours when i got home and spent another 2-3 hours trying to gulp down some Milo before taking medication. Now i'm enjoying myself before the pain hits me and writing down everything about today before i forget them. (an effect by the sedation. haha.)

Yep. Now i'm gonna go rest. Must take good care of myself so that i can recover faster. Even though it's sad that i won't be able to eat nice food for now, but i'll treat it as a fast slimming treatment. haha. But anw, i'm just glad that it's over.

Gambate! :D

P.S. Pardon me for any grammatical errors or if my post looks more like garbled nonsense. i can't really think clearly with the medication. lol.
