I can't seem to post photos on blogger. Weird. Is it just me or is it blogger?

Anyway, school semester is starting again tomorrow. The teeth on my left side are still aching. Even painkills aren't helping much.

I am not sure what's causing the ache. Maybe it's the food I ate that are irritating my teeth.

The drowsy feeling is back. Shall go rest.

Will try to post some unglam photos soon.

Day 1

It's our month-niversary.

It's also the day of surgery. =S

Mr TT and I set off early morning to eat breakfast. He had to get leave to accompany me to the surgery and bring me back afterwards as requested.

Downstairs


We reached rather early in cab, so we had to wait awhile.

When it reached my appointment time, they called me in. I was given robe to change into and a bed to rest.

Waiting...


Mr TT getting bored too


When the wait was over, I was called in, alone. Everything was in a fast pace. They made me lie on the bed and started preparing me for it.

I was given a jab on the hand and some gas to smell and off to dreamland I go.

I heard some voices calling me and realised I was being waken up. I felt some gauze in my mouth. Wow, it's over. It is really over!!!

Choosing general anesthesia was really a excellent choice. No need to go through the process of seeing or hearing anything I don't like.

They wheeled me out and I saw faithful Mr TT standing outside that door. I was drowsy for sometime before being able to get up.

My 8 teeth are gone just like that!

My Teeth!


Unglam


There were more ugly photos, but shall leave them out.

After resting in the bed for an hour plus, I requested to get out of the place. The nurses made me drink the ribena before removing the needle off me so that I can change back into my clothes.

The event took the whole afternoon. After that, we went to Crystal Jade for porridge.

The food




My food was plain but I can't feel anything with the numbing feeling on my lips and gums.

Taken in CJ


My face was swollen and numb.

So it was home after dinner. The rest of the day was spent eating medicine and sleeping.

It was awesome that I can't feel any pain yet, due to the numbness in my lower lips.

This whole thing was much better than I thought!!

Father's Day

Last Sunday was father's day. Thus, Mr TT and I went out with my parents to eat a simple dinner.

Tofu


Soup


Bitter Gourd Chicken


Fried Mee Sua


Yam Ring


The food looks quite nice but the taste was only average. Mum still said the food here is nicer, but I think the food we ate for mother's day was better.

Going back visiting my mum is not as enjoyable as usual. She is extremely pessimistic and hard to get along with as she ages.

She kept bugging me whether had we taken a cab home. Everytime we go visit her, she will ask that same quiestion. Seriously, does it matter?!?!?! As long as we visit her, does it really bother her so much what transport we took???

She bought durians home for me, without telling me. Mr TT is one of those who disgusts durians, so none for him. I had swollen gums and none for me too. She was mumbling about the fact that I can eat and drink salty durian shell water later on. I know myself well enough to risk shoving down those heaty fruits and get myself in trouble. She also kept mumbling that Mr TT don't like durian thus nobody will buy for her to eat. In the back of my mind, I really wanted to tell her there's no relation in those two events. If she wants to eat, we will buy for her even if Mr TT cannot stand the smell. But I kept quiet before I explode at her.

She also bought me 3 packets of instant noodles as I had gastric pain the week before. I know she is being nice to me and I should appreciate that. But she gives me a look that hinted that I am being ill-treated at Mr TT's place. When I was living with her, whenever I had gastric problems, she didn't care at all. So why that motherly instinct NOW? It's not as if Mr TT will ignore me when I am sick, at least not now.

To top it off, she keeps asking why am I asking my dad for money when I told them it's for paying school fees. I only ask for $300 and dad is fine with it, but she keep bombarding me and assumes I am using it to visit the dentist. She really has her own way of thinking huh?! Just because I told her about going to the dentist to do filling doesn't mean I need to cheat my dad for money. I can jolly well show her the damn receipt for school fees. If she thinks $300 is enough for my dentist visit, sorry, no. I ask my dad for money as Mr TT and I had some other plans for usage of money and I do not think it is fair to ask him to pay for my school fees.

All along in my family, she is not the typical motherly person, nor the loving wife of my dad. So what's with the sudden change now? Just because I am married and she sees the need to leash me like a pet so I don't forget her? .......... Or because it's dad and her against me the married-student-daughter who ask them for school fees? ............

This entry really could have been written in a better tone, since I am happy that I celebrated father's day with daddy this year. The problem is mummy is getting on my nerves, thus a need to vent.

Another Regular Weekend

The last weekend was as usual another regular one.

Saturday was spent at home watching dvds. Mr TT and I went to for a smini-shopping trip in the evening and he bought a dog plushie from Watson's for me.





It's rather childish huh?! Old and still buying soft toys.

And sunday, it's celebrating for Mr TT's dad's birthday.

We had to get a present for him, so we went to Tampines 1 to hunt for it.

Along the way, we had our teabreak at Imperial Treasure Restuarant.

Tea


Steamed Yam Cake


Steamed Chicken Feet? Can't remember the name.


Porridge


Char Siew Rice Roll


Scallop Rice Roll


Xiao Long Bao


Up till this point, the food was great! And then it was dessert time. We definitely had overdose of HK drama serials, which lead to us ordering something heard commonly in the shows.

Wine Dumplings


Mr TT did not like it at all. To me, it tasted rather alright. It reminded me of something I ate before, although I really can't recall what it was.

In conclusion, the food was good, their service was excellent too! That's definitely something I had to praise them for!

After eating, we went to Hougang Mall by bus. Our first time taking a bus to Hougang, since we always either got rides from his brother or dad or cab down.

Dinner was at the usual vegetarian restuarant. It's damn crowded, and their service sucks, their food are also not worth the money. But it's somewhat the reunion venue for Mr TT family celebrations, so, I just got to bear with it!

Weekend was well spent. =)

Many Things I Want To Say

It's quite a weird timing to blog, in the wee hours of the night. Caught a mid-night movie - Drag Me To Hell just now and I am quite messed up which leads to insonmia.

There was a major decision made today by me. I think Mr TT is rather satisfied with my decision-making on that issue. I did not realize that he actually worry so much about my indecisiveness.

Anyway, the decision aside, there's something else bugging me so much that I can't sleep well.

The results for my semester are supposed to be out on thurday, but due to an industrial action taken by the teachers' union in Aus, some of my results are withheld! Damn it! Must they go on a strike at this kind of time and holding back my results?!?!

Just thinking about failure makes me want to kill myself, and yet the result remains unknown. At this rate, when am I going to graduate?!?!?

There are so many things I need to know, my results, timetable clashes, etc, etc.

I am having a mixture of feelings now. Apart from the agony of not knowing my results, I am glad about the decision made today. If I have a list comprising of top 10 events I am most happy about in my life, this will probably be among the top 3.

However, I still am unsure if I should reveal it out on my blog as I am afraid of unforseen circumstances...... But it's probably alright because nobody really visits my blog....

Nevertheless, I should focus on posting some outdated photos and reveal my major decision when the time is ripe. =|

Please let me pass my modules smoothly for this semester and may the results be out in the morning instead of monday. =)
