It's that time again. The annual project Chriselle, Jamie & I work on. Since Chriselle's leaving soon for Glasgow, it's been condensed fun and activities. Fortunately it coincides with my study break, less fortunate for my studies. Bubble tea, piano sing-a-longs and karaoke. The life.

My 2nd concert item got scraped, much to the cast's dismay. So have been working extra hard on my one puny item left and I really hope it turns out well because this year I managed to sell 34 tickets! That's like my whole world watching me on Friday and Saturday night. Too bad my closest buddies couldn't be here. Considering that I'm going to retire soon, or at least slow down. To focus on school.

Mad rush of life finally gave me a breather this morning. Woke up after 8am for the first time in ages. Sadly, one night of undisturbed sleep cannot save me from the bundle of wrinkles and eyebags I've turned into. Gr.

Set my alarm for 7am this morning. Woke up all groggy and cloudy eyed, determined to get my laundry washed as planned. After loading my clothes into the machine, I walked up a few steps of the staircase carrying my laundry basket. Then, I slipped and fell, sliding face down down the stairs.

In the process, I scraped my elbow, hit the left side of my chest, hip and thigh and stubbed my big right toe. Now, there's a 1.5cm x 5cm bruise on my thigh and pretty large scrapes on my forearm.

And the cleaning lady witnessed everything. All she did was say, 'Tsk tsk tsk, aiyo, fall down!'

FDI

If only there weren't tests next week. Then we'd all be able to enjoy this week of break, because volunteering at the FDI World Dental Federation Congress would have been really fun. Besides my 5 minutes of fame, ushering the Minister of Health and several Drs on to the stage for their speeches, I got to tour the exhibits and collect freebies. All thanks to Sihao and his mastery of Dental Materials that impressed the booth people.

We mostly complained because the event took up time. However, seeing 3000 dentists gather at Suntec, and watching the roll call of countries actually made me feel like I was at the Olympics. Felt a little tingle of pride, especially when the M'sian flag came skating out. It's pretty cool to feel part of a big community, even though I need to brush up on my DM knowledge. It was quite exciting as well, to watch representatives from each country get up and cheer when their flag passed by. I feel a lot more exposed (in a good way) suddenly.

And now I'm all dizzy and deaf from Dbl0. God only knows why I went, when it's totally going to set me back in studies. But it was a BLAST! And now I've 2 new tops from Hula, because I was on a dead mission to get a top to get into the club.
