If you hadn’t already noticed, I’ve been pulling a “IN PAIN OMGWTF” face for days ever since I almost swallowed the thumbtacks.

Its just so darn unlucky that, a minor scratch developed into gum infection that shoots pain all over the gums. It wasn’t the first time this oh-so-painful gum swelling happened. I went to the doctor for antibiotics, painkillers and pills to reduce swelling but the pain and swelling remained the same after I ran out of medicines.

What did the doctor say?

Same old, same old.

The GP says that I should head straight to the dentist. Go get rid of the root of the problem: a half concealed wisdom tooth that exposes the gum. This time round it happened because, most likely the thumbtacks so conveniently peppered some bacterias on the raw gums. Thanks to it, I end up being in pain for almost a week and counting.

If it wouldn’t get any better, its time to brave the terror ride on the dentist chair this time round. No matter how must I procrastinate, lived in denial, combat with inner conscious and wrestle imaginary dentists, I must deal with the day to have this damned tooth extracted, and I am dreading it.

Is there any complications involved? I heard that some inexperienced dentist might damage the nerves and things like that. I’ve also heard about unstoppable bleeding, extreme pain and, the worst case scenario, fatality. How, how? I am so afraid now. Ugh.

Dang! I was keyboard trigger happy before the CPU tripped and rebooted itself, and now I am presented with a blank wordpress, and I have to rewrite what I meant to write again.

First off I was supposed to talk about Forbidden Kingdom, and how much the show resembles a cheap rip off of Jin Yong’s wuxia novels + Lord of The Rings + Kungfu Kid + Back to The Future + Wong Fei Hong + [insert any cheap ass Asian kungfu stance flick you could think of], so much so that it is “frying cold rice” over and over again - the recycling and combination of different storyline and plots from different movies to form a new movie, often sucky and of subpar quality. The term “frying cold rice” was something I always used when I watched Canto flick back then when I was a teenager. No idea who coined it though, but it sure sounds apt.

Its Monday again, seriously, and I am tired of my current job. Mind you, its not that I have short attention span, its just that one thing or other happens, and I just felt that the wind is blowing me into another direction. No doubt being fanned with banknotes, the wind is definitely stronger. Let’s just face it. Inevitably, as much as I love a job, if it can’t pay the bills I don’t wanna do it. I don’t do charity. I might as well invest my time in doing other things that I equally enjoy, rather than to do something that might benefit (read: profit) the boss while my pay is being cut left, right and center. Do you think I will stay while opportunities are knocking at the door, you silly?

I bet not. He had better give me an offer before I quit for good.

Work aside, weekend was great!

The exhibition match between Ricky Subagja-Rexy Mainaky and Candra Wijaya-Tony Gunawan was so good, that watching live badminton featuring amateur players in future might not be able to give the same amount of adrenaline rush anymore. Although I must say that MMU does have a lot of good badminton players, and mighty good looking ones too. *winks*

I did return on Sunday, but I was too lazy arsed to take more pictures. That means I missed out Tony! OMG Tony is better looking than 3/4 of the TVB series actors that I watched! Sweaty sportsmen rawks!

We were pwned!

The terror duo!

I sucked at commenting games so if you want to know about it hop over to Bleargh.

Stood for 3 hours in the sweltering hot Yok Bin badminton hall but it was worth it! The match was great, the players were friendly up close and OMG I STOOD SO CLOSE THAT THEY COULD HAVE WHACKED MI WITH THEIR RACKET! But of course, it didn’t happen.

Of the four - Ricky Subagja-Rexy Mainaky and Chandra Wijaya-Tony Gunawan I only manage to take photo with two of them.

Chandra.

Ricky.

I will return tomorrow for another exhibition match! Hopefully I can get to take pictures with Rexy and Tony. OMG did I mention that Tony is so teh kewl? He is!

Time and again, I receive emails and newsletters about remedies that promises penis enlargement, from herbs and supplements to exercise methods. These miracle cures claims to lengthen the penis, and the extra inches will not only make you boost your self confidence, but will guarantee you to send your sex partner to heaven. In reality, does penis enlargement remedies work? While there is certainly no harm to try, some of those male enhancement seems to be very interesting and looks like they work. Being the fairer gender, I can’t use any of them, but if you are curious, then thread with caution.

The summary of the story is: Buy food at your own risk from student entrepreneurs.

The long grandmother story was like this:

I was running late this morning, thanks to the TVB series marathon that JY recommended to me. The movie was so damn hilarious and entertaining that I forgot all about leveling my mage in Maple and, ultimately I slept at 4am after I finished the first DVD. Now, the consequences of sleeping late (or early?) makes my gummy swell like some bloated puffer fish, I was forced to eat porridge for lunch (woke up too late, skipped breakfast). By 3pm the stomach was already grumbling so I thought maybe I could get downstairs to buy some snacks.

It seems like nowadays everyone in campus is an entrepreneur of some sorts. The campus is full of students peddling J.Co Donuts for RM2.50 a piece, Secret Recipe and Nadeje cakes and mille crepes, Kenny Roger’s muffins, Burger King burgers, McD apple pies and street snacks such as hotdog sticks, fried on the spot lekor, curry fish balls, kuehs and the likes. And then there’s takoyaki. Er, are you hungry yet?

So out of sheer curiousity I joined the queue to buy the takoyaki. I had to wait oh-so-goddamnitly long, and when I finally paid RM3.00 for three balls I thought “Finally! Some snacks!”

Walked all the way back to office, settle down, took the first bite and….

This! A thumbtack! The extra ingredient in the takoyaki. Had I bit any harder I would need to go to the hospital for a tetanus shot. Or worst, sutures or surgeries.

I was shocked. Lost all apetite for takoyaki, that’s for sure. In fact, I am now praying hard that I don’t get food poisoning of some sort. If there could be a thumbtacks in it, I dare not imagine what unseen pathogens could be lurking in it. I don’t think the cooking temperature is high enough to kill them.

Aww shucks! I could still feel the metal aftertaste in my mouth after so long! Damnit! What am I gonna do with the rest of the takoyaki?

If I am so lucky why never kena loteri?
