14 years later, a CCHS reunion of class 1995

Went for the Chung Cheng High School (Main) class of 1995 union last evening. Our 4J class was the largest turnout =) and i got to see Mrs Lau (discipline teacher in charge), Ms See (Geography) and Ms Pang (Physics). I missed Accounts Tan as she had left by the time i got there. =P

It was fun to see some friends which i have not seen in a long long time. 14 years to be exact. 2 hours isnt much time to catch up either. At least now we have some contact details and maybe can jio jio for a cup of coffee sometime. =)

Well, am up an early today as i had just bathed after coming back from delivering of newspapers. Something which i had not really done in a while. Helping out as my mom is resting today.

As i type, can feel my attention waning as fatigue is setting in, so time to catch some ZZZzzz....

My BONUS buy ... muahahahahaha .. and some pictures.

Well, surprisingly a quick decision was made to buy my luxury item for 2009 as a reward for myself. And that is the electric toothbrush in the picture above. Colgate Motion, a very affordable electric toothbrush and after trying for 2 days, it cleans better than the traditional manual toothbrushes. =D In a shorter time too! Now my teeth are squeaky clean! And yes, by rubbing my finger across my teeth, they do actually squeak. =)


This photo was taken at Andy Lau's concert back in Dec 08. 2nd Andy Lau concert which i went to, the first at KL back in 06, at Medeka Stadium. Had fun at the concert and very happy to have fulfilled Wheng's dreams. Why dreams? cos we actually get to see Andy Lau in person after following his car from the Kallang indoor stadium to his hotel and caught sight of him as he exited the car to the private lift at B3. =D



Wondering why this mask is in the picture? Make a guess of what it is used for before reading on.

Hint 1: The mask belongs to me and is molded to my face.

Hint 2: It is used to secure my head to a surface.



Before i answer, i had used this for 2 weeks? i think..hmmm.. cant really remember, think may be up to 4 weeks. Answer is: To secure a person (myself) to the surface so that i would not move. Objective: to expose the same area on my body for radiation; otherwise known as radiotherapy. Not that scary when wearing it actually. hmmmm ...

How it works is that it is combined with a backing that is also molded to my body shape as i lie down. The mask prevents the head from moving (the side is secured to the table/bed by clips) and as i am lying on the molded foam, my body is stable and i will have to put i quite a bit of strength to actually move.

Well, the reason i took photo of it is that the material had started to break down and disintegrate. Literally breaking into pieces as you can see a breakage at my left cheekbone. So.... to take photo of it as a memory and ..well, to share my knowledge with you, the reader too! =) Things you would rather read about than to experience it 1st hand or from your family and friends.

Bonus buy

After being advised to moderate expectations for 2008 bonus since a few months back, i have been wondering what to buy for myself as a 'reward' while saving up the rest for a rainy day.
As i thought about it, i realised that i have quite a few items i need to look at.

1st thing is.... clothes. We have a casual wear Friday and my colleagues have realised that i have been wearing the NTU collar tee every other Friday, and after purchasing CNY clothes, I am wearing the NTU collar tee once every 4 weeks. =P As for long sleeve shirts, i am rotating among 5 of them for a 4 day office wear week. After 10 months on office wear job, i am starting to get bored with what i wear. hahaha.. something which i didnt expect to happen to me.

2nd thing is... pants and shoes, pants-wise should be okay as i upgraded to 3 pairs by CNY and still with one pair of shoes though. Wondering what is the life span of shoes as i dont want my shoes to open up crocodile style on a Monday morning, but buying another pair of shoes just in case seems expensive though. hmmmm...

Well, those mentioned above are more of needs rather than wants, and i finally found something that i WANTED to buy, a luxury item which have became very affordable recently. Or rather, i realised that they are rather affordable recently thanks to a DJ on 93.3FM. He was using a new toothbrush recently and only came to realise that it is an electric that vibrates when he accidentally pressed a button........ we, wheng and i were in the car, burst into laughter after hearing that. I was like, huh? buying something that expensive and bulky and he didnt know that it is electric?

Filled with curiosity, on Friday after lunch, i went hunting for electric toothbrushes in the cold storage and oh..... the new models are relatively cheap at $13+ for colgate (there is the sponge bob for kids, if only they have the sponge bob for adults too) to $25~40 range for Oral-B. As usual, i couldn't decide on the spot so opted for more research before buying. And yesterday night we went to NTUC at the airport and found more models of electric toothbrush and found the one which the DJ could have bought - the Oral-B Pulsar - it is the only model so far without a bulky handle and at $9+, it doesn't give the impression that it is electric, so i guess it might have fooled the DJ as it might have been a gift to him.

So in short, after one short day of 'research', i guess i would be buying the Colgate model at $13+ as a reward to myself, a bonus buy, hopefully have offer and i can get it for cheaper. =P

Wonder what to look out for next year, but i guess have to wait till next year to find out. heh heh heh.

All clear!!!

Went for CT scan mid Feb and visited the doc last wed for the results. I passed!! =D All clear, and approaching my fourth year of remission. =) Blood results are good, the only thing now is for me to exercise and watch my diet. Why so? Cos apparently, i have fatty liver. Looks like fat deposits are appearing in my liver, probably means that i have been eating too well and not exercising enough.
Not sure whether exercising and looking after my diet will reverse the fatty liver thingy (which is not good, but the doc didnt say much no it), but the 2 things will be good for me anyway.
Well.. its time to sleep and get some good rest. =D
