    Less Wise

    Now that 2 of my 3 wisdom teeth are out, does that mean I am less wise? I dunno...but I am certainly feeling more agony.
     
    After the local anaesthesia wore off yesterday, the left side of my throat started hurting more and more, to a point of misery! Dear Coreen brought me food, fearing tt I will starve Smile
     
    I am eating beancurd now. Hope I will start feeling better.
     
    In retrospect, I AM feeling better as compared to yesterday.

    Driving Licence

    I finally got my licence!
     
    Such a coincidence tt I would meet people I know there. Not only one or two, but three!
     
    Met Ting Chu, Jake and Donovan.
     
    Donovan is Ziyang's friend whom I have met a few times but I could not remember who he was though I found him famaliar. In the end, he turned out to be Jake's friend. Therefore, I asked Jake about him and I finally made the connection! It was good to see Jake again as I have not been keeping in touch much with my council mates. Guess wat? He has taken after me - Welfare Committee!
     
    I was glad to catch up with Ting Chu whom I have not met since Poly days, though I have the impression tt I met her once thereafter. Ting Chu thinks that we have not met at all since Poly. Hmmm...
     
    It is my first time and it is in God's plans to let me pass. There are only three who know how i drive - my 2 driving instructors and God. My instructors dun tink i can pass but i did. I prayed a lot....told God 2 let me pass if he feels tt i am ready to drive, and dun let me pass if he thinks i am not ready.

    I am especially happy recently coz of such encounters. I was late for church yesterday. If I take mrt, I would be even later than if I take cab though taking cab would bring me to church late too. I started waiting at the taxi stand at 11.35am and at 11.38am, i told myself tt by 11.40am, if no cab appears, I would not go to church already. After tt, i prayed for a cab and at 11.40am, a cab came!!
     
    Prayers are powerful Smile

    Krabi...Finally...

    Finally, my Krabi entry!
     
    I got all the pictures and the time to write my memories down now but I realise the whole trip has blurred in my mind. The distinct days have been blended into one single impression: Happiness.
     
    So...I will just post memorable photos with a few comments here and there.

    It was lovely to catch some rays on a big speed boat while it is bumping on the waves. Feels like rich princesses with your own yatch. Memories only spoilt by a touchy & disgusting guide. Had to resort to getting TL to act as my bf and Ethan as Michelle's which left poor Cat to fend for herself. Had to save her myself in the end. Wished TL and Ethan could have been more manly, and get him to stop when they knew abt it but I was afraid to tell him off myself too. Sweet TL did the best he can for me though.

    Our first island beach amidst the Islands Tour of Phi Phi Islands! The beige sand is practically shining with the dark forest and blue skies as the backdrop. The sand is so fine as if it was flour whereas the sea was so clear, it was almost like mineral water. Although the colour of the water seems to indicate that we are in the swimming pool, we were certain we are in paradise when we look out and beyond, and you see no swimming pool edge. No end to this expanse of water to the naked eye. We were looking forward to the snorkelling!

    We were just slacking next to each other when TL turned to me and asked how heavy I am. After divulging it, he asked me if I could step on him...So exciting! And...I nearly killed him. Not because I was heavy (I am not heavy, thank you very much) but because I was too enthusiastic about stepping on him. Wahaha!
     
    Feeling down now...I miss Krabi...I miss the looking-out-for-each-other feeling...I miss them...

    Sagittarius Woman

    Most of the below mentioned is true.
    Read on below and see if you know me well. Decipher which parts are true and which are not.
     
    SAGITTARIUS WOMAN

    A tall, slim and graceful woman who walks proudly like she is walking in a beauty pageant competition. If she slips or nearly falls, she will nicely covered it up and continue with her graceful and impressive walking step. She knows how to use make up to enhance her beauty. She looks at the world positively, so her face always seems so happy. She will not get upset easily.

    Self-confident woman who believes in her own style. She will not follow fashion, but stands in between simplicity and too modern. She is a very open person; sometimes can be too blunt. She is an honest person and never try to cause trouble for anyone.

    She likes to say something that you do not want to hear and yet she can say something so pleasing at the same time. Example: she may say "I wish you could make more money, so you could afford better clothes, but anyway it is better this way. If you make more money, you could be thinking of money too much and become greedy." She can say such things and make you wonder if you should get upset or love her more.

    She is also a free spirit and does not like to stay home. She likes to be protected, but do not give her orders. She has no respect for a weak man. If she try to overpower you, you have to calm her down and try to control her within limit by doing the same thing too. She will listen if she respect you. She likes to be herself and like her guy to be himself.

    She is a no-nonsense woman, so you will not hear her say "Guess what I will do next", or "Guess what I am thinking" because she always says what she is thinking out loud like a guy. If you do not understand her in this matter, you could easily break up with her. She sees problems in her love life as another funny story.

    She is clumsy and it is in her nature. You may think it is cute, but for some neat guys, this could be unbearable. She is very friendly, so she can easily turn her enemy to become her friend. She has exquisite taste in clothes, food, and services. Even a poor woman in this Zodiac will struggle to afford such good taste. She could spend lots of money as if she cannot understand how difficult it is to make money. If you are thinking of letting her borrow money, think again.

    She is a paranoid. If she thinks you like her, she may already think about getting married and will lose her freedom and so on and on. A jolly woman who loves sports. She is an ordinary woman who could dress like a tomboy. She has more guy friends and sometimes could act like one of the guys. She does not care about rumors, so she can get home very late and could not care less what her neighbor will gossip about her. She thinks that either good or bad, you will know it yourself, so you should not be bothered about what people think.

    Her wit and innocent look are her charms. She is often hurt from love, but never afraid to look for a new one as if she is singing "Do that to me one more time". She likes being straight forward. She will not go around to get what she wants, or beat around the bush just to say something. If you meet her and tell her straight what you think, she will admire you.
