I had a belief that everyone will go through some form of surgery, be it early in their life for a little hernia, or later on in life for cancer or something when they are older. So I believe I have reached my limit of that one surgery and I am done. Nah I'm just kidding you don't plan these things.
Jared if you are reading this years from now. Know this. Post op SUCKS ASS!
You do not want to get into it any time soon. And when I mean any time soon, I mean like not for another 80 to 90 years. Cos by then I'm sure you would be so numb that you won't even feel a thing.
I took out my appendix via a keyhole surgery. So now I have 3 little scars. The first 2 where they had inserted the prongs would just look like another mole or something but the other at my bellybutton where they had the actual scope and actually used that hole to carry out the cutting of my appendix will be a bit bigger but nothing too distinguishable.
The surgeons went with this surgery as its a more popular and safer surgery as compared to the traditional appendectomy which is a much much bigger hole and would or might cause infection if the hole is left open for too long during surgery. This keyhole surgery was also said to be more popular amongst women as this way when the stitches are out they could still wear that bikini and not worry about a horrific scar. Well maybe with the little one at the bellybutton they could get a bellybutton ring or something which honestly is quite alright if you ask me.
I honestly feel fine after the first 2 days of discharge because I was only there for like 3 days tops, and by the Saturday of the week I got the surgery (I got it snipped on a Wednesday night) I was perfectly fine and could eat almost as per normal.
The only sucky thing about the post op was the throat pains. During the op, they had a tube inserted down my throat for me to breathe during surgery and it was not small at all.
But I guess that was the only single most depressing thing about the surgery.
I'm great now. Just got to wait for another 6 days or so before I remove my stitches and officially be back to normal. =D
Oh and the diagnosis for it was an acute appendectomy because it was in its early stages of infection and thank God they found it out before it burst. By then I would not be able to even get up. Thank you low trash hold for pain. =D

Its Been Awhile
Well first of. I'm sorry as it has been awhile since I've jot down my thoughts. I've been working and it is indeed time consuming. Erm like DUH! But apart from that work is treating me well.
I've decided to post an entry not only because its long over due and I've a lot of things to say but also because I've reached a point of time in my life where I need to remember for the rest of my life and know that it has happened before. This story starts way back. I'm talking WAY WAY BACK. So let me take you back when I was smaller than I am small now.
The year was 2000, and as a primary 4 student I had to take part in an annual test NAFA which till today I've yet to find out what it stands for because for the life of me I can't remember. Anyway, on with the rest of the story, as a kid I was really active. I did all sorts of sports and would you believe I actually came in third for high jump. Impressive huh. Actually no but the point is I was indeed very active and for a kid I was in great shape. This carried on till I was secondary 1 when after my NAFA I started to get lazy. I put on a few pounds and after awhile I became very self concious because I could not do the things I used to do any more. To add on to the self conciousness I was opted to attend T.A.F club or Trim And Fit club also known as F.A.T club when school reopened after the June holidays.
This was a big blow to my self esteem and then came the period where I started to puke out food whenever I felt too fat. It wasn't really a eating disorder, just a pretty nasty habit. But a effective one non the less. (Kids really don't try it. Its horrible. You mess up your whole body system and uh just don't do it okie?)
This helped with my NAFA and I finished my secondary school life with I think 3 golds and one silver. The silver was the year I realised that I had a spare tire. By the time I was at my peak well I've seen better days but yea I was at my so called peak when I met Guanlin which is pretty cool because as you know she's just swell. Anyway, then came poly. I'm still in poly but I'm huge. Everyone says I'm not huge from my looks which is quite true but every time I sit down the bulges appear.
So here's the deal. For the past few days I've been running around my estate to lose some weight and get into shape again the old fashion way not the puking way. I'm also doing this because very soon I'll be taking my NAFA again after 3 long fatty, greasy, potato couching, lotus eating, drinking and pretty much every unhealthy thing you can possibly think I'd do, which I'll be taking soon to determine if I enter army early or late. And well I'm getting into shape mostly for that but also because I need to be healthy...but mostly to pass my NAFA and after that its just jiggly belly and saggy man breast.
Well we'll see if I do go back to my old ways or if I'm still fit. I'll look back at this post and I'll see if I've changed.
Oh and something else, I went shopping with my God Brother Michael, a real God Brother, not one of those adopted kinds. And I bought a Chrysler. Not the car but a Ben Sherman jacket called Chrysler. Its awesome by the way I'll put up pictures if I get the chance to. It was a real steal at S$189. Directly after I bought the jacket I felt into my pocket and saw a tag which indicated the original price of the jacket and it showed S$329. How true is that but if it were I just saved myself S$140. That made me pretty happy.
I'll be buying more stuff in the weeks to come because I need to widen my cardboard just a tad bit.

The Greatest Super Heros of Them All ++
And they are in order alphabetically:
(This is LONG LONG overdue)
Augustine Soong
Denise Phillips
Darius Kong
Ethan Guo
Foo Konrad
Joram Tan
Kenneth See
Natalie Lim
Rosemary Lee
Sarah Ong
Vanessa Garnell
These people also known as the Chest-Nuts Group™ threw me a party. A surprise one I must add. It was awesome. I've never had a party before let alone a surprise one. They gave me a set of drumsticks which they signed on. One by all the Females and the other by all the Males. So I had a male and a female drumstick, which was odd because to me they are males. Don't ask why.
Anyway apart from the awesome group of friends listed above, I had even more awesome friends too many to mention. Maybe I'll drop a name once after every post. Oh man that will take forever. I might forget. I most probably will forget.
Well they got me a cake and even baked me a muffin with a star on it. It was just awesome. We swam in a huge pool at Mr Guo's place and played an awesome game of Guitar Hero World Tour on the Wii.
Well just for today, I'll have a two for one. Today I'm also going to talk a bit about my first official job. Well a job I'm actually going to stay with for like 6 months. Its my internship for semester 3.1 and its looking ok I guess. I'm doing mundane things but only because I don't know anything else. I hope to do more in the weeks to come and well I KNOW I'll do more in the weeks to come. I heard I have pretty huge shoes to fill which I hope I would and more. I don't want to let my school, friends and myself down.
So that's about the things that happened in like a week plus plus. I'm dead tired and I need my rest.

False Delights
Now you would think that wishing someone on a happy birthday would be awesome. And quite frankly if any of you actually remembered my birthday before or after the actual day itself, and wish me, I'd still fine it quite genuine. Well that's the case for me of course, considering that this, and well that of a few others a few years back falls on the day the great lord Jesus died on the cross.
Yes Good Friday.
But enough said, the false delights that I'm talking about is the fact that I'm 19. I'm no where. I'm a nobody's child at this point really.
I'd say this obviously to ruin and anger the rest of the lot by saying that 19 is the new 30.
I say this with passion because there is nothing great about 19. You are no where near legal to do EVERYTHING. You can't get married. You can't yet work to own a car well at least not in Singapore and the bouncers at pubs can't even close one eye on you.
Its like a dark tunnel you go through on a hill. Its dark, dirty, and utterly abysmal.
Now you see at 20 you are somewhat of an authority figure. You have at least hit a 'ty'. The bouncers close one eye because you are already that much closer to getting in. Its not unusual to get married at 20, well for the females but a rich man's son could do that at 20. And the best part is for all you OCD fellows, ITS A WHOLE NUMBER!
I never really did have that much fuel and drive to be this annoyed at anything considering the sniffles I've picked up over the weekend and how my voice went from 2 octaves lower to no sound at all. But what really broke the camel's back was the combination of the sweltering heat from the sun, the humidity that is quite frankly what makes Singapore that warm, and this!
The bastards at SingTel actually reminded me that I'm 19, and worst, they've got the wrong DATE! You know what. I've decided to not be bitter any more and take this as a stepping stone and for another year I'm going to enjoy the last years of my youth.
Cheers!

The Project +1
Well it was not one of my greatest ideas but yea a flop indeed. After testing over and over again, I've come to a conclusion that I'll never get to see Agent Walker crawl towards me in 3-D from the foot of Chuck's bed dressed in nothing but silk lingerie.
But it was fun though. This was the prototypes which were cut outs of some plastic sheet I found from my Japanese Textbook.
And well these were the final ones but I coloured them in reverse so..............yeap..............
Well anyway at least I actually tried what about you huh, huh, huh????

The Project
I'm going to make a pair of 3-D Glasses.
Why?
Because the twelfth episode of Chuck is in 3-D. Apparently, for some reason, NBC went 3-D on us. And out of no where, 3-D Glasses became useful. I guess the last time I used 3-D glasses was on a ride in Japan where the exciting trip into the crystal cave of doom with Indiana Jones came alive right before my very eyes while I tossed and turned along with 50 other idiots who paid to ride it.
Well off to make my glasses. You never know when you'll need it again. and plus its fun. I'll post pictures if I every get to it after having so much 'fun' with my glasses.

We Wish You A Crappy Christmas
Unlike everyone who is saying how sucky Christmas will be this year due to projects and homework, I for one will not join in.
Yes I'll be happy and say how wonderful the Christmas spirit is. You have combined choirs in church, concerts, presents, games, late nights and lets not forget tones of "drinks" if you know what i mean.
Yeap, life is great now that Christmas is around the corner and arghh who am I kidding. Christmas this year stinks. Apart from the things I've said above which are all true by the way, my holiday is packed with homework and worry. Thank God most of the work is group projects so I have others to help me out.
Everyone else is having a great ball of laughter and embracing the Christmas spirit in its fullest while I'm stuck here thinking about work. Well not fully, but still. Life should be stress free. I should be able to go on trips like my parents.
They went to South Africa for about ten days and they said it was really scenic and eye opening. It is their third holiday this year since my dad got back from Vietnam for good and it was indeed a pleasant sight and thought to know that they are having such a good time.
They bought some unpolished gold in a little container.
Oh and my dad thought it was funny to get this.
Its a little thingy or undergarment if you please for the males of the Kulu tribe in South Africa. This is kinda sad. The guy's shlort is like covered but the lady's huhu's are not. Chauvinistic men.
Well that was what it was and I suppose he has a longer one for when he is ready to mate. =)
Well I'm not all that stressed as I think I am. I went drinking with my god brother Michael. He did not really get drunk but we thought this was quite funny.
That night he had 2 Jack Daniel shots, one gin tonic, one taquila pop and a whole bunch of shit and he was not even phased. Well he got alittle red after the second Jack's.
Well Christmas is not going to get any better or worst so I'll just sit tight and enjoy the ride. COS ITS GOING TO GET BUMPY!
