Exams, extractions and SHOES

Yes yes, exams have ended for me here. And what do I do? No, I do not take time off to sleep, I do not brush up on my piano(btw I passed my Grade 6!!!!!) and I do not even go to the movies with my friends. All I have been doing is rotting at home, going online on MSN and alternating between medieval Runescape and Audition. Sometimes, I really don't know how to spend my time.

My exams were pretty OK. I'm expecting to do better in my humanities than in my Sciences, in fact, i WANT to do better, I NEED TO DO BETTER. Why? Well, just to please myself really. I am so very very biased. I studied 7 times more for Geography than for Chemistry because I wanted to do better in Geography even though I should be studying more for Chemistry.


On to the more un-schoolish stuff, I extracted my LAST milk tooth on Friday. And if you didn't already know, I am extremely pain intolerant. Especially to sharp pains. If I had a scale from 1-10, knee grazes would be 1 and injections would be 2. Which is weird, because grazes seem to hurt more than a needle prick. But to me, grazes ghardly hurt. They're just like a bruise. And erm, being the typical weird me, I have to confess that I actually LIKE the pain sensations from bruises and grazes because the pain isn't sharp and has this nice moderate pain feel to it. Ok nevermind.

Back to my extraction, well, I freaked out at the dentist's because I had to have 2 rounds of jabs before the extraction and I am REALLY afraid of injections. But after they injected, the area was totally numb and I couldn't feel a thing. I was so scared that I would be able to feel my muscle tendons being pulled on when they were extracting the tooth, but actually, the pain scale is 0. Yes, ZERO. I only whimpered along the way because of that horrible *crack* *crack* sound when they're pulling it out. My dentist commented, "Later they think I'm butchering in here or something..."

After that I had to bite on the gauze to stop the bleeding but I didn't like to bite on it so I took it out. A few moments later, i tasted some saltish liquid and realised it was blood, so I had no choice but to bit on the gauze. So now there's this funny soft sensation whenever I run my tongue over the 'wound' and I keep thinking that I'm licking my own scab but I can't feel a scab at all! HG, you have no rights to kill me because you chose to read this post.

I bought new shoes! I repeat, I bought new shoes! I'm not really a shoe person, like most women are because:

1) I'd rather blow my money on a new bag than shoes(cuz I'm a bag person).
2) I get fed up finding the right pair before I can buy them.

Adn I'm not joking. Everytime I buy shoes, it's ALWAYS out of size, or in another outlet, or out of that particular design I want. It's so mentally frustrating and taxing that I get fed up before I find the right pair. It's not as easy as walking into Nike and paying with a Visa(not that I own one but you get what I mean).

So today when I was at Wheelocks Place, and I spotted these really special looking shoes in a store called Star Three Sixty. I really don't know how to describe it but this is what I told HM.

"The designs are skecher-ish(as in the brand Skechers) but its from Onitsuka Tiger, and they're flats, but not the ones that everyone is wearing now. Mine has a more vintagey grunge look, rather than the pale white ones. It has a dark greyish blue for the background, then theres this olive green thing down the middle, and the other lines are dusty pink. All earthy colours. I know it sounds weird but honestly I really like it. And it is the best description I can give."

And I am so ecstatic because it's the FIRST time in years that I have actually walked into a shoe shop, saw a pair I liked, chose my size(They had my size!!!!! That itself is incredible.), and bought it without needing to source for one in another outlet. That has to be the best thing that happened to me today.


You Are An INFP

The Idealist

You are creative with a great imagination, living in your own inner world.
Open minded and accepting, you strive for harmony in your important relationships.
It takes a long time for people to get to know you. You are hesitant to let people get close.
But once you care for someone, you do everything you can to help them grow and develop.

In love, you tend to have high (and often unrealistic) standards.
You are very sensitive. You tend to have intense feelings.

At work, you need to do something that expresses your personal values.
You would make an excellent writer, psychologist, or artist.

How you see yourself: Unselfish, empathetic, and spiritual

When other people don't get you, they see you as: Unrealistic, naive, and weak

You are a Rocker Girl!
If you don't have musical talent, you've got a talent for picking out great CD's.
Music rules your life - and you've got the best MP3 collection of anyone you know.
Many guys find you intimidating, but a select few think you're the catch of a lifetime.
Start hanging out in more used record stores, and you'll find love with a fellow rocker!
What Kind of Girl Are You?
You Are Bold And Brave
But daring? Not usually?
You tend to like to make calculated risks.
So while you may not be base jumping any time soon...
You are up for whatever's new and (a little) exciting!
How Daring Are You?
The True You
You want your girlfriend or boyfriend to be more relaxed, calm, and composed.

With respect to money, you spend whatever you have.

You think good luck doesn't exist - reality is built on practicalities.

The hidden side of your personality tends to be satisfied to care for things with a minimal amount of effort.

You are tend to think about others' feelings a lot, perhaps because you are so eager to be liked.

When it comes to finding a romantic partner, you don't have any particular type in mind, but you are inclined to look for someone who will say yes when you ask him / her out.
You Are Adventurous... Sometimes
You like an adrenaline rush as much as the next person. You like your thrills in small doses.
You're generally pretty calm and level headed. But sometimes you have to go wild and have a crazy adventure.
