Monday
I went out with Hui Ge yesterday. We don't do the stuff msot teens do when they go out. We umm... played badminton(yes, isn't it amazing that Ker the couch potato here is actually involved in a sport???) at Temasek Country Club in this ultra cool badminton court where they have a net in the middle(So we can't cheat!) and the windows block out all four sides so no winds can blow out shuttlecock off course. And then after that we had lunch at IMM in this Japanese restaurant called HOSHI. most of us like Japanese food right? Whenever someone goes,"I had Japanese food yesterday.", everyone will squeal,"So luckyyyyyy!!!! I also want to eat!" It's a natural reaction, I mean do you just sit back and watch people feast on sashimi while you force-feed yourself with stringy veg without making a sound? OBVIOUSLY NOT! So anyway in the car while HG's father was driving to IMM, HG was telling me something like, "I don't want to eat Japanese food..." I replied,"How do you know its Japanese food?" Turns out that their father-daughter relationship is EXCELLENT. We went up a couple of storeys, made a few turns(and all this while I thought we were looking for a food court) and HG's father stepped into Hoshi. I turned to HG with this look on my face that said "OMG,we're really eating Jap. food? You actually predicted it!!! That's incredible!" HG later called me that night and told me that her father's claims of "IMM got air con" was just an excuse to eat his favourite Japanese food. ROFL. After a lunch of bento(with marinated salmon, beef, tempura prawns, this purple thing that looked like brinjal deep fried in tempura, miso soup and chawanmushi, we were STUFFED. HG's father did a very wise thing which was to make us walk around Daiso to aid in our uhh... digestion. 
Our lunch
Ok, so we went back to her house and I put on my blades(roller blades) and went "skating" at the void deck. She wanted me to go down the slope, and even though I was pretty freaked out by its steepness, I clung onto the bike(on which her sis EP was riding) and screamed my way down 2 slopes on skates. When we reached the bottom, an utterly horrendous sight met my eyes, ANOTHER SLOPE. And this one with a steeper, longer path!!! I managed to grip onto the bars while moving myself downwards but when I reached the middle of it, HG said,"Kerryn, let go of the bars and skate down... Look, hold my hand and we go down together k? I'll brake with you. Let go!" This was repeated in infinite rephrased versions till eventually after all the squirming and squealing, my patience for myself grew thin(the others patience wore out long ago) and I let go. In a sudden swoosh, I sped down on my skates, half forgetting to brake(though I did) and hit the pillar with an "ouch" and many smothered giggles. All I remember of the process was the rush of wind against my face, and the many attempts to slow down and finally the thud as I collided with the pillar. Having said all this, I'd really like to thank HG, EP and EP's friend for encouraging me all the way and helping me accomplish something I never thought I'd be able to do. For all that you've said and done, i thank you.
Tuesday
I went to the dentist today to get my teeth checked and while i was there, I agreed half-heartedly to get my braces fixed. I expected a sort of squeezing tight pain when I got my braces, but no, none of that, because umm they haven't inserted the wire yet, only the metal things they glue(my dentist insisted on the word "bond on your teeth" even though it looked pretty much like glueing anyway) on your teeth.
The braces have not been any source of DIRECT pain but they have been a great nuisance and since this afternoon, indirectly causing me agnoy. I have no idea why, but sometimes when I chew(just chewing normally) it makes me bite the walls of my own mouth and that, as you all know, HURTS. I have since done that like 5 to 7 times in the last 8 hours. The wound has stopped bleeding but goodness knows how long more I have to put up with this. "Time heals all wounds" right? Well, I don't know how its going to heal this one if a new wound appears everyday over the old one.
Thanks to all the blogs i referred to (countless) for html code help :) (esp. cyn' and sixseven)
