2007!
Wahaha. I'm getting excited at the prospect of having juniors. Dunno why. I was just looking at the list of orientation groups. Got it from Hewlett. Somehow the supposedly secret list always spreads through MSN. They didn't have a school column in the list though, unlike this year's. So I don't know the high school make-up of each group. Ah well. I'll be even more interested to know who's in my class. Hope there's choir juniors! Ok I don't know many juniors right now. Don't even know most of the softball juniors faces, much less their names. Hm. But I can recognise them all the same.
1.5 hours left. I'm whiling my time away on the comp. My jaw's not as swollen already. It feels.... suan. Lol up till now I still can't find an English word to replace 酸. Don't know how to describe that feeling in English. Achy? Well there's no pain at all. I dunno... someone please enlighten me? Anyway hopefully the swelling will be gone be tomorrow. Please... Don't torture me for the rest of the holidays.
Not many days left. I'm not dreading the return to school. I'm just afraid of what'll happen cos I won't have completed all my homework. Hm. First priority's the Maths test- the Monday after.
2007. I won't make any more resolutions. Still working on last year's. Which was also the previous year's- to file my work. Important year though, 2007. The big A levels. Maybe taking the O levels wasn't a blessing after all. Don't know what to expect. But I know I've gotta work. No time for slacking. Wonder how the J2s (this year) managed to look so happy and still slog it out the whole year.
Let's see what else I've got this coming year.... Chem H3, SYF, Piano exams... Aargh. Those are all in the first half of the year. I suppose I'll survive somehow. But I don't want to just survive. I wanna excel. Yeah. Bring it on!
Okay. I wanna walk about the house to try and stay awake. Just doesn't seem right if I to go to sleep before the new year begins.
happy New Year everyone!

I survived :)
4 holes in my mouth. No pain. Just feels weird
I wasn't really scared for the most part. Up till the moment when I stepped into the Operating Theatre.
Woah. It looked like a scene out of a TV show. the whole room was white, and there were those fancy adjustable lights above the, um, bed.
Lying down, I had the sudden realisation what could happen to me. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anesthesia_awareness 0.15%! Woah scary.
The injection (into the back of my left hand) was just bit pain. Then my vision begin to blur, and I panicked briefly cos for I moment I realised that I couldn't move a muscle. Couldn't open my eyes, couldn't breathe even!. Scary. Thank goodness I'm part of the 99.85% statistic. Conked out almost immediately after I realised I couldnt' breathe.
Lalala. The wonders of GA. Didn't have to sit through one hour of agony. When I woke up I was facing some window. And I had two big wads of tissue I think, one in each side of my mouth. Felt really uncomfortable. Cos my mouth was dry also.
Lay down for a bid in the ward (did it at Gleneagles Dental Centre btw. damn ex, but ah well got referred there... ). Then I left at 12.30 ( the op was at 9.30).
It's been porridge day today! My dad cooks a mean porridge. haha. But I hope the wounds would heal fast enough and the swelling (my face looks round now!) would subside quickly enough for me to start chewing again! Oh and talk normally also (can only mumble now. Can't fully open my mouth. I don't wanna risk the wounds reopening). And sing! Hm somehow I feel I'll be able to open my mouth more fully. For the whole year I've felt that the two upper wisdom teeth have been obstructing the opening of my jaw a bit. Lol maybe now there's more space for resonance so can ring more.
Hm... I heard from some people that the pain will kick in tomorrow. Maybe that's why I still feel a little giddy? The lasting effects of GA? Dunno. But then again others say that there's no pain. Oh well. Here's to a painless tomorrow! I've got painkillers anyway.

Wisdom Teeth Op tomorrow
I'll admit. I'm a little scared. Not at of the thought of pain.
I heard that complications in General Anesthesia have occurred, sometimes resulting in death. Ow. Okay it'll probably not happen to me. I've also read reports of people being able to experience the pain, even under GA, but are unable to move or call out during the course of the operation. OW.
I hope I fall under the 99.999999% of people whom GA affects normally.
Yeah. So I'm a little worried about what will happen. Mostly about GA (and the injection they give to make you unconscious - is it an injection?).
I hope I go through this normally. The pain after that (when I have 4 holes in my gums to heal), I can handle. I think.
Hm. Check back tomorrow for a new post that I'll make to 报平安。 If there isn't, well... ahahah it means I'm
lazy to blog.
Time to sleep. Op at 9.30am. Zzzz
btw I'm not gonna continue the Penang posts. Yeah very bad, I know. Should complete what I finish. But it's been so long, I can't remember every single detail already. Just be glad I didn't stop blogging altogether :D (which I almost did cos I didn't wanna leave my Penang post uncompleted at first)
