I had to go ALL THE WAY from PASIR RIS to OUTRAM. I had to walk in the sweltering HOT sun ALL THE WAY from the OUTRAM MRT STATION to the National Dental Centre for my appointment. I got there, was 5 minutes late(Which isn't really a problem cause they always make me wait half an hour or so after my appointment time to see the dentist.), and realised, after the lady called my name, that my appointment was cancelly cancelled.
Well, I wasn't the one pissed.. My sister was. She said she could have been bumming and slacking at home instead of going out. But oh well, I don't really care. So long as my dental appointment wasn't clashing with my other school activities, I didn't really care.
The lady said that they sent a letter to inform me that my appointment for yesterday was changed to the fourth of January. I said I didn't receive anything, and gave a little frown just to emphasize my point.
Which wasn't very true. I did remember receiving a postcard thinggy from the NDC, and it mentioned something like 'Please remember to come for your next appointment'. But... I thought it was simply a reminder cause I've been missing and postponing many many appointments. So... I threw it away.
So now, I've thrown away the evidence. But I don't really care.:P
She replied with a "Usually when we cannot contact the patient, we will give them a call. Sorry about this ah, you come back on the fourth of January. I'll write it down for you." before proceeding to write down the details of my newly scheduled appointment.
My sister looked so pissed she looked as though she was going to explode in a fury of loud vulgar words. Wahahaha, just imagine that happening!
Lady: Usually blah blah blah write it down for you.
Sis: *takes deep calming breaths as she tries to force a smile*
Lady: Here you go. *hands me the dental appointment card*
Me: *smiles sweetly at the lady and nods* Thank you! (Note how nice I was. :D)
Sis: *takes a breath one too deep and swells*
*she can't stop!*
Me: *gasps*
Sis: *squeals her words out* NoOoOoOOoO....
Then... BABOOM!(for the body)
And... BABOOM! (for the limbs which does not include the fingers and toes)
And BABOOM! (for the fingers and toes and small parts of the body)
And finally... BABOOM! (for the nails and strands of hair and hair accessories and whatnot. Basically, small miscellaneous stuff explodes down here.)
Anyways, my sister decided to head over to my cousin's house to borrow VCDs or DVDs so I had to head home myself. But I gave her a cute, heart-melting look and she asked me if I wanted to come along. Of course, I accepted the offer with the grace of an otter. (*rofl* It rhymes, it rhymes! But I don't know how graceful otters are... Let's take it that I was very graceful in accepting. *nodnods*)
So... We went over to the Raffles Place MRT Station to meet my cousin and a friend of theirs, Yifeng(they were out together). They didn't come and we received(or rather, my sister) a call from them not long after to meet them at the BIshan MRT Station instead.
So we got there and we had to wait like, half an hour before they finally arrived. During that period of waiting time, my sister and I were chatting with each other, taking pauses in the conversations so she could reply to a message on her handphone.
We noticed two girls walking around collecting donations for the Singapore Welfare Society(Yeah, I've heard of it, but I still don't know what it is. My sis reckons that it takes care of the welfare of the whole of Singapore.). They weren't in school uniform, and were the only ones collecting donations in the area.
They were receiving little donations which is no wonder to any one of us:
- No school uniform
- Didn't really smile
- No stickers (I think)
- One of them was listening to a discman while asking for donations
- Looked sloppy and unenthusiastic
Anyways, they came up to us and asked for donations and I left it to my sister to decline the 'offer'. Then about twenty minutes later, they looked a little unsure about something. Yes, they were facing us, but they were a good two metres away. Or maybe three. But you get my point ya?
They were conversing with each other about something I couldn't hear, but my instincts told me their conversation.
Girl 1: Should we ask them..? *glances at my sis and I before quickly looking away as though afraid to catch any one of our eye contact*
Girl 2: Don't know leh... Ask lah ask lah. We might get a donation. *glances at us then back at her friend, waiting for her to walk first*
I caught eye contact with one of the girls during the conversation and she held the eye contact even though she was glancing at her friend(I don't know how, she's got magic.)
Then, slowly, but purposefully, they strode towards my sister and I. I felt an impending sense of doom circling ahead and swooping down like a deprived eagle.
*SWOOP*
*lol* Anyways, she came over and asked us for another donation. Once again, I silently ordered my sister with a scary smirk to decline the 'offer'. She obediently did so, leaving the two girls thanking us for nothing but wasting our time and energy.
Me: Didn't they just ask for a donation? I think they forgot.
My sis: Yeah, like we'll change our minds the second time.
Too many to remember not donating so why not ask people we think we haven't donated to do so? Smaaaaart. I'm serious. The person being asked twice might feel guilty or obliged to donate.
So... my sis and I waited for thirty minutes or so before heading to Junction 8 to buy drinks and whatever we wanted to buy at the supermarket.
We found drinks for ourselves and on the way to the counter, I found wine! It looked so yummy(not sure if 'yummy' can be used for drinks..) and wonderful, my sister and I bought it! *cackles*
We met up with my cousin and Yifeng before boarding bus numbered 53 to her home. We watched a VCD called 'Kung Pow'. They took a really old Chinese show(with lotsa kung fu fighting) and edited it so it would turn funny. Personally, I'm a really lame person, so the show was really funny to me. And it was really lame. I had never felt so lamed in my life. *wails*
Let's see... There is this Chinese girl, she falls in love with the leading male character. The leading male character is trying to defeat this really guy who's really great at kung fu, but his source of energy comes from these two pointy metal things on his chest. So... the male has to get the metal things off his chest, but they're 'installed' in his body(If you find a better word, don't hesitate to tell me.).
So he goes to the blacksmith and asks him if he has those metal thinggies and buys them. He sticks them into stone dummies. He tries to get them out, but his hands keep getting injured. He gives up for the day and goes 'home' to the girl. He hides his hands behind him and she notices him doing so.
Girl: Show me your hands.
Guy: *shakes his head*
Girl: Show me your hands.
Guy: *holds out his hands, showing all the injuries*
Girl: Does it hurt?
Guy: *shakes his head*
Girl: *squeezes lime all over his hands* How about now?
Guy: *shakes his head*
Girl: *looks rather worried before pouring salt all over his hands* And now?
Guy: *shakes his head*
Girl: *breaks a thermometer over his hands, pouring the mercury all over them before looking up at the guy questioningly*
Guy: *looks at her in horror* You just broke a thermometer over my hands!
Girl: You think that is painful? *pauses* Touch my hair, I want you to wipe your hands all over my hair.
Guy: *wipes his hands all over her hair*
-_-"
By the way, the guy's known as 'chosen one'.
Girl is caught by two strong men, another man(the one who has the metal thinggies stuck to him) is sitting on a chair in front of her.
Man: *growl*
Girl: Weeyooweeyoowee. (she's crying, by the way)
Man: *growls for a longer period of time*
Girl: Weeyooweeyoowee.
This goes on for quite a while until the girl hits the two strong men and runs away.
Next scene. Chosen one is running from afar(he's only about three inches long on the TV screen). Girl is beckoning him.
Girl: Chosen one!
Guy: I'm coming!
Girl: Chosen one!
Guy: I'm coming!
Girl: Chosen one!
Guy: I'm coming!
-_-" Why! Whhhhhhhhhhhhhy!
But it was funny. And not a show I want to watch again.
