Chapter One

It’s been a day of wonders and pain on Saturday. I had 2 friends both recommending me Chinese medical for my shoulder, but since one of them give me detailed contacts and address, I decided to go with that. It is at bishan, and I foresee myself feeling the pain if the doctor decides she should twist my shoulder a little, so I asked my cousins to come along just in case I need something to chew on from the pain.

The Chinese clinic is filled with the smell of medicine, it was quite heavy, but our noses got use to it after a while. 3 shocking things happened in the clinic.

1^st, one of the doctor/nurse, thought I was the mother of my 3 cousin’s who came with me, I was shocked. Ok fine, maybe because I went there right after I woke up and brush my teeth, but a mother? Ok, I must look really old then.

Putting that aside, a patient is inside the room with the doctor, the door wasn’t totally closed, so I noticed how the doctor kept telling the patient inside that she is fat. It didn’t really bother me that much coz I am just curious how fat can a person be that she needs to emphasize on it so much, it’s not any of my business nonetheless, so it slip pass my mind after a few seconds.

There is a lady sitting outside having acupuncture on her head, a few needles around her head above the nose level, front and back. It looks kind of scary, and needles usually mean pain. She seems at ease and not having any sign of discomfort though, I wonder how is that possible, my cousin was studying her, and I was just enjoying the sight.

It sure did take a while to be my turn, 2 of my cousins was bored and went out for a walk, I have to stop one of my cousin from going with them so she could stay with me when it’s my turn, I am really scared, and definitely do not want to be alone.

My turn came, and I went inside the scary room and saw the patient that got nonstop nagging about her being fat, she was on the bed doing some sort of massage. There was one empty bed, but I sure did hope it wasn’t left for me.

After some skiving on the doctor’s part, (on phone chit chatting) she is finally willing to find out what I am there for. Told her about my shoulder obviously, and from that point on, it is nonstop nagging from her, about me and my cousin being fat. For those 20-30 minutes in that room, I hear the word “fat” for at least a number of 50 to 60 times,(2nd shockness) I am not even trying to exaggerate, it was one hell of a torture, mentally. There are physical torture too, the useful one though, she asked me some question about my shoulder and manage to find out how to cure it or at least something like that.

She made me lie on the bed, and I can already foresee myself being twisted like a chicken wing. She went to the cupboard to take what I thought was ointment. She walked to me and starts rubbing my shoulder a little, it just seems like a prelude to the chicken wing twist, but I was wrong. I felt a sudden prick pain on my shoulder and was shocked. There was no warning; I was totally waiting to smell some smelly Chinese medicine before I feel any twisting pain. There was no twist pain, just needle pain.

I was somewhat in a state of shockness (3rd) as I look up to my cousin. She was standing there, looking down at my shoulder showing her speechless open jaw face. That was when I know I am being punctured by the doctor. I was there being acupunctured without even knowing beforehand.

I am not afraid to say, I am not quite fond of needles, a little scared is more accurate. Having the needles on my skin and turning is definitely not something I have the guts to see, having them in my mind is bad enough already. Looking at my cousin’s shock face, I can’t help but feel tensed. The doctor asked me to relax. I tried my best not to think about it, it was over after some awkward sensation at needle point. I was up to sit up and try lifting my arms. (I couldn’t before) I did it slowly with disbelieve and waiting for the pain but it didn’t happen. I could lift my arms; still feel a little pain on the shoulder, but surely not restricting my movements. I was very surprise, but still told the doctor about the slight pain, I was really just being honest, and then the 2^nd needle prick came. This time although I am prepared for it, but it didn’t help too much either. I tried to look away from the needle and keep my mind off needles for a while, but when I turn my head. There it was the patient before me, on the bed, with needles on her toes. How the hell can I not think of needles...? I gave up, do whatever you want with me la, I am gonna turn into retarded jelly fish mode. Just after I gave up… the doctor give me a terribly painful massage without warning again. I wonder where she gets all that brute strength from, really. It was about 10 minutes of massaging torture. All the signals of pain I receive on my shoulder were transferred to my face showing obvious signs of pain which was well conceived by mu cousin. She was laughing at me with pity on her face.

The good thing is about this doctor trip is, my shoulder is cured just like that, the little pain is still bugging me a bit, but it’s not restricting me at all, I am sure it will go off in a few days. The bad part is, I am totally traumatized by her session of fat nag, before I start my night, I stand in front of my mirror for fifteen minutes telling myself, “I am not obese, I am not obese.” Until now the impact is still there, the word fat has been ringing in my mind all the way. I am super duper demoralized. Seeing how I look in photos slide me down further.

I know I’ve put on 12kg after I came back from Melbourne… Definitely know I am fat… but to hear it 60 times in 30 minutes is crazy… and traumatizing. So because of all these, I have made up my mind… don’t ask me, saying it is taboo… U should have notice how people always say they wanna do something about something but it never happens… so yeah…. Let’s not just talk about it, does it.

Chapter Two

The night started for xiao hei’s birthday. A dinner at sun with moon at Clarke quay Central. It was a nice small Jap restaurant with big artificial looking door. The place has nice ambience despite its size, the food served are pleasant to both the eyes and appetite. We ordered multiple appetizer and side dishes but we all had the same type of main dish, just different variety…

They didn’t have a lot of variety of sashimi, and I very much wanted to try it, but in the end, the dishes were so much we didn’t end up ordering sashimi…

We all had a filling dinner and the muscle man ray, arrived after we are about to finish our dinner. He ordered his share while we enjoy our drinks and chit chat. Went over to TCC after that, the only two sets of cushion seats were reserved while other seats were taken. Full house, couldn’t get seats, so we decided to go over coffee club, but was stop by the waitress in the end, I guess they thought we gonna spend a lot there so they let us have the cozy cushion seats. Ordered a few cakes and drinks, the black sesame frappe was nice but a little too powdery… Should have ordered the rose Juliet or whatever the name is…

We sang a soft birthday song for xiao hei who was totally in her pai she state and didn’t bother to make a wish on the lighter that is replacing the missing candles. I guess that’s fine though she is the queen of the night so wish or not is her decision… lol

We’re all excited about singing her the song we forgot to take pictures… *damn it*

We laze around in tcc for a while, the cushion chair is just so comfortable, took some forked pictures, but I don’t really dare to post most of them up for fear of being skewered. So I decide to only victimize one person since the photo is blur anyway… This is our Ray being forked…..

All is good but sinful, the 2^nd phase of the night is the clubbing at mos. This time there is three of us, pam and her bunny give it a miss due to preferences, so me xiao hei and ray head of to mos. It might be the diff taste of music we have, ray enjoy himself when he is in the rnb room while me and xiao hei only really enjoy ourselves in the main room. It turns out that there is always someone who is bored among our group.

So it’s two continuous week of clubbing after such a long time, and me and xiao hei really enjoyed ourselves just that this time round, there is a lack of atb. *ahem*.. we made do with their house dj, but I still feel there is something missing, can’t really point out what.

Anyway, we both enjoyed ourselves in the main hall and ray was enjoying his live soccer on tv of the 2^nd floor, while standing on the dance floor with us.

We ended early this time, went to clinic. The place isn’t as fantastic as I thought it would be, poor service. Rude waitress/waiter, expensive drinks, totally not worth it, so I didn’t bother to order anything from there, the girls who are there before us tell us all the bad experience though, that’s how I get to know about it, but the way it seems, they are not exaggerating their bad service at all…

After the night ended, Ray was kind enough to drop me off at my place telling me how dangerous it is where I live. Well I am kind of used to where I live, but well, the thought was much appreciated coz I don’t often have people sending me home.

I head home to find a lonely cow on my bed snoring away. He was sad that I will be home late, and when he insisted on waiting up, I made him believe that I will be super, super, duper late. I guess he give in after that, and sleep sadly and alone on the bed. It feels kind of nice though, to have enjoyed myself throughout the night and then come home with someone tired of waiting for me and sleeping alone on the bed. The only bad thing is the drooling part but I guess nothing is perfect, the drooling part makes it all the more normal, but sweet.

Chapter Sunday

I had a good sleep and woke up at 2 wanting to go swimming but unexpected things came up and I couldn’t go for the swim, so might as well stay home and clean up. Spend the whole noon cleaning up, I bet moo would be glad to see the nicer looking room.

Anyway, I nearly melt the silk blanket while blogging coz I forgot its heating up in the dryer… but I think I somehow saved it.

So that is all for today, and I gonna go make the bed now ~~~
