Transformation Part 1

We had the floor tile retouched, this was after the retouched.

After the cements that left on the surface were cleaned. Floor tile finally showed its shine.

The next day, 5 wiremen came for around 5-6 hours of work, installing fans, lights and CCTV points.

Before the wiremen left, they actually helped us to clean up all the mess, and left us this. We really appreciated it. It saved us a lot of cleaning works.

Hypersensitive tooth

Went for a dental filling not long last week, and after a few days, it kind of pain whenever i eat something or drink something cold/hot. Went to the dentist again and the dentist told me that my tooth becomes hypersensitive. She prescribed me some meds and asked me to see how it goes, and advised me to avoid hot and cold food. Haih.....Even after taking the medicines, still i can feel the pain whenever i eat something slightly cold or warm. The meds will make me feel really sleepy after taking it. Hopefully the pain will just miraculously disappear when i wake up tomorrow. Pray hard!!!!

FIRE

Around 3 a.m. this morning. I woke up by the ringing alarm. It somehow sounded like an alarm clock ringing but due to its persistence and my alarm clock just didn't sound like this, i woke up and left my bed. I looked out from my window, saw nothing unusual, no smoke, no fire, no fight, no people running and almost no movement of any living creature. The ring persisted and still i didn't see anyone on the opposite building came out to their balcony to see what happened.

Then i saw my brother standing in the balcony, and he saw me. We two started guessing where was this ringing came from. Our first guess was the house alarm that the owner has not moved in yet. Minutes later, we both saw fire engine arrived at the guard house there. Only then we realised that there was a fire, but curious why no one seemed panic or running for their life.

Then we saw smoke near building B, around the height of middle floor. We decided to go to 4th floor, to have a look on what happened there. The room behind the guard house, which is used as rubbish storage room was on fire. We were there watching the firemen put off the fire, not a big fire since it was in a closed room. The fire was all along contained. Only then i saw around 4-5 peoples looking here from their balcony and some just peeked out from their window.

I feel it very strange as i saw not more than 10 peoples actually care to wake up in the middle of the night even when they heard this loud alarm. What kind of people are they who just ignore the alarm? Even if it was a false alarm, we should also be awaken and check out on what happen i suppose.

New neighbour

I received gifts from my newly( around one week ++) known neighbour. We are now table tennis mate for almost everyday on weekdays. I got the soya taste agar-agar from her last week. a diary, a calender, 4 mandarin oranges and a bar of Cadbury Chocolate few days back and this evening, she gave me a cup coaster from Australia, a Koala bear key-chain for my brother. I really appreciate it and i am feeling grateful for giving me all these gifts. A big thanks to them.

P/S: We had some great table tennis games on Monday, which even her son and other neighbour came to join us. One funny thing happened when her son asked me how i knew his mum. I told him i knew her because of the table tennis game and i met her in the table tennis room.

One month anniversary

Moving in to the new place for a month, things happened and we try hard to overcome them.
In a month, i have experienced a lot of things, i have learned a lot. Starting to get use of the environment and people here. I am glad that i am blending in pretty well.
Things can be dramatically changed in a month, or sometime can be almost nothing changed in a month.
From knowing new people to know them more, things are going pretty well. I am actually enjoying this type of life where i dump away my stress with the sweats that i shed. Stress can still be dumped, what about sadness? Sadness goes with us all the time and time is just no healer. People always saying that time will heal, but in real, it just never works. The pain and the sadness will not go away since they will never change. What changes is ourselves, we changed ourselves so that we won't get hurt so much after a while, but still, it hurts.
One month anniversary, one year anniversary, ten years anniversary.....they are all the same. They will still remind you of those good and bad moments no matter how long it has been.

24 Jan 2011

Went to meet with Dr. Harlina today, here came my first assignment as a GA. She handed me a book, and asked me to prepare lecture notes for her of out the book, and the book named, a really familiar one, "Unit Operations for Chemical Engineering", totally was a nightmare for me when i was doing my undergraduate. Luckily, the lectures note are for next semester, that means i will still have time to prepare it without rushing it. So the first task is to prepare a chapter and show to her after Chinese New Year. Now i finally understand why we always feel very difficult in understanding the lectures note. Haha.....

I was in a air-con room, standing which i don't really mind, what make me feel uncomfortable the most was the second-hand smoke. I ended up smelling like a smoke-pot and was having headache for hours.

Just when i was planning to hop into my bed for a small nap after popping in the Panadol, my brother came knocking my door and said our neighbour called and asked us to join the table tennis game at 7 as her son will also be here to join the game. She even asked for me. So i have no choice but to leave the bed and walking with heavy footsteps along with my throbbing head and join them. It ended up quite a good match as they are good player. I am just an amateur player that play for fun.
