Wisdom tooth horror + Ubin team retreat!

It's the mid sem break and i am suffering. Not just with school work but with my wisdom tooth extraction. The swelling seems to be still around and i am still surviving on a porridge diet... The extraction itself was rather horrible. First, the dentist injected 3 LA into each side of my gums, and i can feel the needle going deep in. I think the LA doesn't do much to relieve my pain as i can still feel the sharp pain when the dentist starts tugging out my wisdom tooth. What was worse was the pain after the op. I had a terrible headache and it went on for almost 2 hours. The worse thing was i could not sleep with all that pain... Now i am having 2nd thoughts about removing my 2 upper ones. Maybe i should go under GA for that.

Tue to wed was spent with the DD08 members in Ubin. Staying in auntie siew eng's house, kampung style. Well, it is an environment that team members could potentially face when in Vietnam, so it seems to be a chance for all of us to experience kampung lifestyle and bond from this overnight camp. Cooking team did a great job with the yummy dishes whipped out in the kitchen. I'm glad that facilitation sessions were not boring for them (I hope) and most of them were very enthusiastic. Spent the rest of the time cycling, playing orienation games such as zhong ji mi ma(which include eating egg mayo from the dustbin), R.O.C.K rock, MRT game and many many more, including those stupid intellectual game like Fuzzy Wuzzy, what time is it now and stuff. It was really a good time away from Singapore as well as school. and i get to know my team members much better. Found another junior frm RVNP again, winni. last yr was Bel. what coincidence huh...

My wisdom teeth has been causing me extreme discomfort for the past 2 days. it all started at grandma's hse after the ubin recce trip. even before dinner, it starts to hurt. kills my appetite for dinner and mooncake (my auntie got some atas mooncake and i never ate it). Finally decide to drag myself to the dentist and get some painkillers. arranged to have 2 of them removed next thu.

argh!! i gonna survive on pain killers for the next few days...

Another busy week has passed. It's alreadly week 5 and time is simply flying by too fast. I realised that this blog entries have been getting less and less in the past few weeks despite so many things happening.

First up, DD08 stuff seems to be getting more on track, which to me is much more of a relief. Right now, the proposal is still bugging me and causing me lots of sleepless nights. But i am really glad that there are really enthusiastic members on our team and i hope the team retreat planned during the mid sem break will be fun and enriching.

Geog soc handover dinner was held at yuna's house and it was really fun to get together with the geog soc ppl. I doubt there will be much chance for us to get together and talk cock and laugh at silly jokes. I guess i gonna miss most of the ppl there. We will only be seeing each other during lectures. some of them don't have same lec as me... and i finally got to see fru fru. he's so adorable and active!

I am not going to study today.. shall wait till tmr.. time to indulge in 溏心风暴II and shows such as Amazing race asia 3. and all my fav US shows are coming in 2 weeks time! S*it!
