"Dreaming Of You" by Selena 

Haha.....I got the weirdest dream to date........Hmmmm......it happened on saturday after I got really tired studying Pharmacology which till now I still cannot remember crap about it.

It started like this:
I was in this dilapidated house where I was fighting my nemesis along side my superhero friends. Oh I am a superhero. I got this amazing dexterity like Spiderman such that I am able to swing from buildings to buildings and trees to trees. And I am also able to be in a mode of invisibility (my all time favourite power). But there is a catch when I am invisible I could still make noises like a human being so I can still be detected by sound. Anyway, I am fighting this deadly nemesis of mine but he ended up killing all my superhero friends until I am the only survivor left in the hut. I realised the smart thing for me to do is to escape and since I have spiderman's speed, I thought I could outswing him.

Everything was going on so well until I heard noises from behind. At this point in time, I immediately shift to my invisible mode while continuing swinging to my escape. But to no avail. The noises grew in volume and all of sudden I saw big wheels of blades (I think there were about 4 to 5 of them). They were coming to slice my apart so I tried my best to out maneuver them. I managed to dodge 3 of them but the remaining 2 I could not so I decided to stop swinging and stay still. Thinking that maybe they could not detect cos I might be making a lot of noises swinging. I was right! The other 2 just went off target and my nemesis was left in rage after he could not detect me. At that time I was slowly walking away being invisible...Haha...

The next few days, the nemesis sent his little troops to take me out but I was victorious of course sneaking behind them with my power of invisibility and then electrocuting them....Haha...I just love my powers....Oh yah.....some of them attacked me at my private pool....I just remembered.

Apparently, I am this mutant whom was rejected by the society. I could not tell anyone I had super powers or else something bad will happen. That is why I live alone without friends and family.

One day I encountered some henchmen of the nemesis. And I overheard that they were going to attack my family and relatives. Apparently my family and relatives all worked at the nemesis lair so I had to do a little espionage and enter it without they noticing me so that I could warned all of them to get out! I managed to sneak in and found myself in a room where my mother was. This is the first time she had seen me for like maybe 20 years. It was really long cos she was all over me...Haah....Anyway, I could not tell her I got superpowers. Therefore I had to persuade her to leave this place cos the henchmen were gonna kill her. Suddenly came my aunt. She gave a loud shriek after seeing me and that set off some alarms. Suddenly the whole place was in red alert and I told them to warn the rest of my family and leave this place immediately. I shifted to become invisible in front of them and started running for my life. I dodged bullets and I was awaken by my father!!!!!!!

It was already 3 am and I was sleeping on my sofa for the past 4 hours.....haha....Siwen can you beat this dream.

The people chosen are pretty diversified.........We have a hot mormon, a hot nanny, 3 lawyers, the gay guy, a Las Vegas showgirl, a heavily tatooed girl and a young guy who survived testicular cancer a year back(ouch).

The Princess Diaries 

Thank you for the concerns shown after my last entry was blogged. I was not that sad just a little disappointed at myself but I am alright now, feeling better than ever.

I caught The Princess Diaries 1 and 2 over the weekend on DVD. And I must say it is really pretty and heartwarming. Not exactly the typical teeny bopper movie but something with a little more substance. Anne Hathaway is pretty cute.....How I wish I can be a prince somewhere.....lol

Congratulations to Daniel and Jasmine...........It feels great seeing the 2 of you in holy matrimony and I just pray for God's blessing to be upon your marriage.

Congratulations to Singapore for winning the Tiger Cup......

"Losing Grip" by Avril Lavigne 

Looking for matric number U033641L at noticeboards are no longer fun anymore. The feeling and the relishing of satisfaction in year one is obscured bya feeling of disappointment, mystery and heck how did I mess up again....time and time again...

Well I started of year 2 with pretty decent grades from my year 1 finals
Physiology A-
Biochemistry A-
Anatomy B+
Dental Anatomy B

You would have thought hey this guy got a pretty decent shot for the dean's list next year(not that I want exactly) but things went downhill with a little snap of my finger. I found myself languishing almost at the bottom tier of every tests up to date.

Pharmacology C+ / C+
Pathology C+
Dental Materials B- (I am fine with this score actually...the only one)
Microbiology 46 (I don't even know what grade it is.....probably an F)

Not forgetting I have another F for my Op tec test and I am the third from the bottom in my RP test.....Sounds really pathetic huh....I am equally disgusted by myself.....I don't seem to be getting the grades that is equivalent to the amount of effort I put in. When I walked out feeling really good about myself after a test, I got whiplashed with the grades above. I feel like complete loser yesterday. I am not aiming for first in class. I just want my efforts to be acknowledged and someone seems to be pulling a really big fast one on me.

When you aim for the stars, you might fall on the moon. I aimed for the moon and I fell into oblivion...........many of you will think that here Kenneth is whining again. But I can assure you I am not looking for As just something decent and it is a morale downer everytime you see yourself sandwiched by no.23 and no.25. Linlin and Charles....good job man....keep it up! I don't mind getting Bs and be sandwiched..............................

Everything happens for a reason and I know the solution for it. Don't feel bad for me cos you have not seen the last of me.

Oh well, I went for my dental checkup today and got my enamel on my 11 sandblasted because the mamellon are capturing stains once every 5 months and I got matrix banded....lol

"I Dream" by Taufik 

Woohoo....American Idol 4 is coming to town! And I get to see it earlier than any of you cos I got cable!! Haha....

Anyway, today's last lesson was probably the more interesting one out of the many lectures we had. Prof Adrian Yap going through the clinical examination forms and kinda brief us on what will be in store for us for the coming 2 years. Although it might sound daunting but I am kinda excited about clinics. The patient management, the service side of this profession - I am for it.

It seems like it was yesterday where I was just busy cutting my amalgam prep and now I am going onto endo etc. Time really flies. It really does. Looking back at the past 2 years, I feel like a sense of achievement. I can finally see the flicker of light that is at the end of the tunnel. I have no idea whether is it blind optimism but I thank God for letting see things in a positive way in this second year. Things did not go out as planned but I always managed to get over it and steer myself back in the rat race.

That being said, let me do a little advertisement for myself........For you all people who crave good and cheap oral services (not that oral....I know what you people are thinking), please look for me at NUH from june onwards. A little bit of your time in exchange with my 100% devotion and my eternal gratefulness.

Cheers!!

I am a sucker for reality TV............I do enjoy normal human beings on TV..........
Here is the list of my favourite ones

2. The Amazing Race - its a Jerry Bruckheimer production.....how can it go wrong
3. For Love Or Money - the only dating show i like cos its doesn't just involve love
4. American Idol - great talents found
5. Next Action Star - its the acting version of american idol (i saw it on cable already)
6. America's Next Top Model - babes galore
7. The Apprentice - its just an okay show...probably overhyped but still ok
8. My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance - Really stupid but entertaining
9. High School Reunion - makes me think what it would be like when I see my classmates 10 years down the road
10. Paradise Hotel - a really cheesy dating show but it has twists like everywhere

12. The Simple Life - its amazing to see how Paris and Nicole can survive in the outside world......not very well...

15. Star Search - not the singapore one but the american idol rip off
16. Fame in 30 seconds - what people would do for just their 30 seconds of fame
17. The Osbournes - How do you watch a show where you have bleeps every 1 minute..
18. The Swan - this has to go down as the worst reality show.....endorsing plastic surgery to the max.

For those who are interested here is the fansite of Survivor 10 where they speculated who would be on the show.....looks like another round for xueli, yonghe, bran and me again...haha..

"Lose My Breathe" by Destiny's Child 

Yesterday I went to church for the first choir practice in the year and it was good. The feeling of being able to serve God despite my busy schedule though daunting but it was satisfying. I really do wanna up one level in my spiritual walk with God and when Brother Jason announced that he was auditioning of back up vocalist for children church, I decided to give it a shot with Cheryl.

It did brought me days of my first auditions but it was nothing compared to that. I screwed up big time. I was disgusted with myself and it would take a miracle for them to call me back. I so wanna do it but God has the last say.....

I have completely forgotten to congratulate Siwen's on her salvation. I do hope the times I brought you to my church helped you along the way. Somebody went to have her glam shots taken by a uncle photographer at a shady looking studio and I was there to provide the protection...Haha....I have no idea he has to take so many pictures....Your poses are like all so similar...Haha....

Meet The Fockers 

The apparent sequel to Meet The Parents, Meet The Fockers is an okay stand alone movie which engages the likes of Robert DeNiro, Dustin Hoffman, Ben Stiller, Barbra Streisand and Blythe Danner (if I am not wrong.....she is Gwyneth Paltrw's mother)......Anyway, Meet The Fockers utilizes many sexual references and innuendos to liven up the movie.......the title explains it all.....Though an okay funny show, it was hard to see serious actors minus Ben Stiller behaving or some might say degrading their choice of roles to Meet The Fockers....

Barbra Streisand to say the least was a big diva or still is.......I was pleasantly shocked that she turned into a high libido sex therapist in the movie while Dustin Hoffman went showing some love to everyone he met......

Again, it was an Okay movie, good to watch after a day of dental school with friends so i give this movie 2.5 popcorns (out of 5)

Some split second nudity can be found in the show......just a warning

"This I Swear" by Nick Lachey 

Hey guys, I am back after a week of non existence from the face of this earth except to my classmates........ Miss the holidays .... the times I slept till the afternoon, the day of laziness, meeting up with friends......Oh well, one should never look back to the past but always to the future! The many extracted teeth I have to do restorations on, the drilling of the pulp cavity, the manufacture of dentures....Boy how exciting can life be.....

I really can't blog for long recently.......what's wrong with me........

Oh yah....A special tribute to the tsunamis victims.....hopefully the money the church collected today will help you all and the volunteers they will be sending to you all soon........ A big devastation to mankind.......God bless you all....
