just came back from hanging out with the glenn, calvin, lingjun, eileen & yongcheng..shopping in town wasn't fruitful for mi..life had nv been the same in terms of shopping since taiwan..nv really see anything i like..maybe shall wait for the next season of clothes to launch..

had dinner at far east's turkish restaurant..forget what is the name of the restaurant..the food there was alright..just tt i chewed til my jaws are tired and i'm still not done with the food..haha..too much meat i guess..definitely value for money..hangout at mt faber's "the hills"..the price of the drinks there are just as expensive as dempsey hills..

the joke of the day definitely belongs to eileen newly bought "table" from ikea..she bought a table from ikea but the piece of wood and legs doesn't come together and she have to pay extra for the "legs"! without the "legs",a table can nv be a table..will be just a piece of wood! is very amusing that such a thing is happening at ikea..damn stupid..so we bought the 4 "legs" required to transform a useless piece of wood into a table ..but after helping her carry the table back to her hse..she realised that the table require 5 legs! first time hearing a table require 5 legs..2 infront and 3 at the back..what a "award-winning design"! the best part is the sales person nv inform us that the table need 5 legs instead of 4 when we told him that we wanted to get 4 of the "legs" for the table..morale of the story..dun assume that a table have only 4 legs!

6 more hours and i have to be up for work..au revoir~

weekend seems to pass so quickly..too quickly..soccer last night at turf city just doesn't feel right..maybe sat night is not suitable to play soccer..maybe more suitable to chill out..later will be driving my bro and timothy to pasir ris for them to book in..seeing my bro now somehow make mi thought of 2 yrs ago when i was going thru the similar thing..weekend pass even more quickly then..thank god it's over now..

my little bro & mi..look at the eyes, mouth and hand..picture perfect shot

today stumble across a old babies' names book in my hse..this is the book from which i got my name from 22 yrs ago..so i flip to my name and this is what it meant

Millard [French] - 'strong and victorious'

now then i realise my name is of a french origin..learnt something new today!

"it's weird how u go from being strangers to being friends to being more than friends to being practically strangers again..and it all happen so fast" is this what is happening at the moment?

just back from bowling session with the goofballs..and i came to a conclusion..most of us sux at it! that explain y this is the first time we r playing bowling together since we know each other like 9 yrs ago..haha..watched dark knight with the guys in the afternoon followed by dinner at the golden mile steamboat..a treat for mi & yc from eric & waikit..this treat is a forfeit that we had when we played the euro fantasy soccer league last month..the 2 losers have to treat the 2 winners..mi and yong cheng emerged winners so we earn this treat..

met up with edward and helen on sat for korean dinner again at chinatown..felt damn bad coz i was super late..somehow after dinner i was feeling super tired so decided to head home..which is very unusual of mi to go home so early on a sat night..guess must be due to the sleep debt that i'm having..my eyes r looking more tired nowadays..

removed the stitches for my wisdom tooth on monday..still quite painful..kinda not used to working after 1 week of mc..still adapting slowly to the pace of work..playing soccer tonight at turf club! woo!

more pics from the wakeboarding

til today my stupid wisdom tooth is still causing mi alot of pain now and then..i'm running out of painkillers soon!

despite the pain..still had coca steamboat buffet ytd with cal in town..play guitarheros for the first time at cine..kinda get hooked on to it..maybe i'll end up buying the game for my ps3!

watched "wanted" after tt..tink the movie was kinda exaggerating with the curling of bullets and and hitting of bullets again each other..the best part was in the lift on the way down, there was this group of young teenagers talking behind us and this was their conversation..

teenager A: "how come the movie is rated NC16? also nothing much abt it"
teenager B: "maybe is coz got the full back view of angelina jolie when she walk out of the bath"
teenager A: "then how come the bullets can curl?"
teenager B(say confidently): "u swing ur gun harder jiu can curl le!"

calvin, yongcheng and mi heard this and we almost wanted to burst out into laughter! i guess he kinda tink that it is realistic..wait til he go NS and he will know the whole truth abt this!

ytd bought a new toy..ipod touch!! woo..bought it at the roadshow outside heerens..it was going at $473(original price is $498) and comes with a free jbl earphone worth $125..good deal uh..actually was comtemplating between the red ipod nano & ipod touch ..due to this good deal and the stylish design of ipod touch i decided to go with the latter..happy touching!

today is the day my bro went to tekong for the beginning of his national service life..went to play soccer today at turf club..the new kid in the block for astrofield soccer..not a bad place but i personally tink is abit out of the way though it is the closest place to town..dinner with edward and helen at crystal jade @ holland v before heading to dempsey hill's ben & jerry's to chill out..

i must honestly say that my extracted wisdom tooth is giving mi lotsa problems..today the pain was so unbearable tt it make mi wake up like 10am in the morning..and the pain is there throughout the whole day..the onli way to stop the pain is to continue to pop painkillers..hopefully this whole ordeal will be over soon..

had my 2 right wisdom tooth removed in the morning..a very very painful experience..after the whole minor operation..i can feel the pain on the right side of my face though it was numbed..and after which can feel the whole body sapped of energy..

the doctor who operate on mi is damn professional and nice..he will explain everything to mi when he was going to do coz he covered my whole face less the mouth area to do the operation so i can't see anything..so he will tell mi what he is going to do, what sound that i'll hear..and will keep apologising if i suddenly feel any pain..at the same time while operationing on mi, he was teaching another young doctor everything he was doing and all the small details that the young doc supposed to lookout for in the future..talking abt professional..but throughout the whole operation i can still feel quite quite a huge amount of pain despite the jab he gave earlier..i guess the pain i felt is not because he is not professional enought..is just that my wisdom tooth is too stubborn to come out..

i was supposed to book another appt after the operation..the clerk was telling mi "sorry sir, the earliest date i can give u is 1st sept." i was thinking to myself "huh..so soon ar" then i told him i wanted a later date..coz i wasn't ready to go thru this whole ordeal again so soon..

just woke up not long ago..not longer feeling the postoperative pain..but thanks to lingjun for the advice of putting a towel before slping..coz when i woke up..the towel was filled with blood and saliva..at the moment it like those marital art movie where u can beaten up badly and was literally vommitting blood..haha..

shall enjoy my mc now at the moment and take this time to rest well..hopefully there will not be anymore complication and definitely not looking forward to the next trip back there

every 1st sun of the month..the whole "teng" family will gather at the garden of remembrance at 5pm to visit our late grandmother & grandfather..this had been the tradition since my grandma passed away 2 yrs ago..the reason for this tradition is coz in the past when they r still around..we will always go to my uncle hse at ghim moh rd to visit them and they r the main reason y the whole family is so closely knitted despite the huge size..therefore even after they passed away, in order to maintain this close relationship that we shared, we came out with this traditional of meeting at the garden of remembrance..

kinda miss the dishes that my grandma used to cook..steamed minced pork with salted fish, small sized white fish (dunno wat is it called) and the "chai-po" egg..i can still remember eating at least 1 of the dishes every sunday when i visited her in the past..though i can still find all this dishes at teochew porridge stalls..the taste is never the same or close to what my grandma cooked..

just came back from chilling out with the goofballs at house @ dempsey hill and supper at adam road hawker centre..suppose to meeting them 9 plus at dempsey hill but end up onli reaching at 11 plus due to work commitment..been working since 2 this afternoon..so sorry guys..hang out again soon though

dinner at hongkong cafe on friday with my bro, edric, edward and helen..after that managed to watch hancock on fri with my bro and edward at shaw balastier due to seats being filled up fast at all the other popular cinema..i must say the movie was slightly over-rated..i personally tink it was quite a disappointment after all the hype abt this great show..but i tink if it wasn't for will smith..it would have been a flop by now..

wednesday night had korean food at chinatown thanks to the recommendation of edward & helen..first time having korean food..sound damn mountain tortoise right..coz in the past korean food doesn't really appeal to mi..but the experience changes everything..the food was damn nice..forget the name of the korean restaurant but i definitely know how to get there..anyone interested to go let mi know!!

spicy beef steamboat..is not as spicy as it look..very nice
