Late Night Thinkings....

I've just watched "I Am Legend" on HBO. It is the first time I caught it and I like it a lot. And this show really gets me thinking. What if this really happens one day?

In the show, 99% of the human population in the world turned into mutant humans because of a cancer cure. What if, one day, we manage to find a cure to cancer and it turns out like this?

I feel like we are walking down that path. Look at SARS. Look at H1N1. They are both mutated form of flu virus. Everytime we controlled one, stronger ones pop up.

In Buddhist teaching, it always talk about the 2 opposite sides. Light and dark. Day and night. Good and evil. Always about the balance. So if we have a cure, will new stronger viruses pop up to balance the whole system?

In Evolution, living things evolve to meet the meet the challenges in their ecosystem. So will the viruses evolve to a form when we can't find a cure anymore?

It is a scary thought. So far, the mutated flu virus only made us feverish, sore and with flu-like symptoms. What if a new mutated virus attacks the brain and brings out the animal instinct side of us? What if it makes us aggressive? What if it makes us irrational? What if it makes us stop thinking?





I just hope that when that day comes, neither me nor my loved ones will be around.

Out they go..

I extracted 2 of my teeth on Tuesday.


Here they are:






Didn't expect them to be so long. When I first had them out, I had a mixture of feelings inside me. First, I was guilty. They are healthy, strong, fine-looking teeth! Then, I was sad. After all, they WERE healthy, strong, fine-looking teeth. I was also disgusted. Coz now I have two big gaping holes in my mouth. My brother said that I looked like a witch when I laugh. Sharon told me I looked cute. I shall believe Sharon and practised selective hearing.

I am also excited. I even dreamt about having even, straight teeth. Hee! Can't wait after two years to see the results!

Anyway, these are my "before" photos. Two years later, I shall post the "after" photos.










The extraction of the teeth were not painful. The seperators placed between my teeth are the ones that are giving me pain now! They are placed there to create gaps for the ortho to place the brackets 2 weeks later. They made ALL my teeth super sensitive and super sore. I cannot even eat steamed fish without some discomfort! I have since practised the art of swallowing my food. =(

Going back on Monday to extract 2 more teeth. Haiz... Poor teeth. Going to buy a box with cushions and place my teeth inside. Very xin tong.

Havoc Nights

The Enemies clique had 2 "havoc" nights recently. I am loving clubbing!! Haha! (A little over-age, I know.)

We got Buttered






































We are Rebels.























Actually, I had a lot of things to say about the 2 nights. But it has been so long since we took these photos. Grrr... Stupid blogger better not fail me again. Coz we are going back for our bottle at Rebel soon!

Trying not to be broke

Finally! My blogger seems to be running into problems every few days. I have tons and tons of photos to blog about but the blogger keeps giving me trouble. Grrr...

Well, school has started and I am loving it. Feels kinda weird saying it huh.. It is great to be in the role of a student again and not the role of teacher.

I have been really obedient too! I didn't take any cab at all this week! Last Tues was the first day in 3 years that I took MRT and buses to school. On Monday, I took MRT and bus home from Plaza Singapura which is also my first. I am finally kicking my habit of taking cabs. Yeah! Quick, praise me! Haha!

Shall post up my pictures soon. I got to go and sleep now. Night, world!

Bracing for Braces

Wah.. Finally, my blogspot is working. Havent post anything since there was something wrong with my blogspot.



Anyway, I have decided on this:







Yea! Have already booked the dates to extract my teeth and to put on the braces. I am so excited. On the other hand, I am going to miss my 4 teeth and my buck teeth. After all, they have been with me for more than 10 years.


(Decided to go for metal instead of ceramics because I am going to be very poor for the next 2 years. =( Bear with the ugly metal bah!)
