Chinese new year eve is finally here. Yeah.
Yesterday went to take out the stitches and boy, am i glad that i feel so relieved that the last stage is finally over. To my dismay, the dentist revealed a horrifying truth. He told me my left jaw got this potential wisdom tooth that is posing a threat to my molar. He told me to come back in a month's time, when my right jaw had fully recovered. Then again, he was glad my wound healed that fast. I was kind of wearing my departmental t-shirt, from the industrial and systems engineering. There is this "personalization" on the shirt. That is, you can put watever names u wan to put on your left sleeve. So i carelessly ask the committee people to make "mightymouse" on the left sleeve. When i went to the dentist, apparently he saw the word on my left sleeve and ask me :"Hey Nick, you are a mightymouse ah? Is that your nickname?". I was so freaking paiseh. But heck care lar. Anyway, the removal of the stitches took barely few minutes, and it was done!
After that met lim teh in t.mall, walked around, then went to coffee bean to talk crap, pass her time magazine, then we headed to sunplaza park for the usual swing ride. Talk and talk and talk until she got giddy sitting on the swing. (lousy) haha.
Don't know why this year, that usual argument started again. My dad wanted to coerce me to go "ke tou" to some ancestal worship thingy, due to their "protection". His protection is obliquely referring to the lottery ah? Chey. Anyway, i dont' give in to my position when it comes to this. No means no. Don't ask me to kneel down, hold joss stick, watever things. I mean it's good enough sometimes i juz went with them to the temple and stand one side while they do the usual stuff. Not good enough? Bleah i dun care. There is a clear cut line between traditions and religions. Superstitions are closely tagged with religions while traditions basicallly are juz some cultural norms with not much ideologies fixed to it. Indeed, my dad was a bit pissed..but i know him lar, after a while he will go back to dormancy. =)
