ulcer update

IT'S GONE!

FINALLY.

after an agonising week of failed remedies, i decided to do the worst one can possibly do when you have a horrific ulcer - RUB SALT.

yeap.

it was some time late last week. i was on the phone with my dude when my ulcer started bugging. so He suggested i go gargle some salt water. so i did.
gargle gargle gargle *URGHhh*
it didn't sting as much as i hoped it will..you know..cause alot of pain..numb it out and you sort of feel better after..?
so i gave up.
i've been contemplating rubbing salt coz it works but it causes a shit load of pain - that was my last resort.
SO
i dabbed like a few tiny little grains of salt..there was like 5-7 little grains...?
found a mirror, found the evil icky ulcer and aimed.

GOODNESS!
i almost cried. it really does feel like the salt is eating away at the sore... *shudders*

the ulcer was stingy for quite awhile after..quite terrible
but fortunately..it stopped hurting the next morning. and by the following day it wasn't there anymore!

*happiness*

ulcer from hell

i have an ulcer under my tongue. yep. sounds gross eh? yea..it looks quite bad
the left side of my tonge feels swollen. i can't eat properly coz chewing hurts, sauces sting.
even eating oranges hurt! all that acidity!
i've tried icky powders, aloe vera ( apparently it works but it bugs my ulcer ALOT ), gargling very salty water ( puke inducing.. ) .. it's still not getting any better..
yea..i feel like i'm falling sick. i think i'm too heaty..from sleeping late..not drinking enough water..the crazy hot/cold weather..is taking a toll on my body and giving me a bloody swelling ulcer!!!!!

*screams*

i'm tempted to drop a tiny rock of sea salt on it..let it sizzle in the salt and just DIE!
now that's just wrong sounding isn't it?? it sounds like i'm trying to melt a slug..
EWWW

i think i need a shower and lots and lots of sleepp...

Dear J West sales man...

Yes you, the one who ignored us ( me & my sis ) when we came into the shop and only got up from whatever it is you were doing to happily greet and welcome another customer - a man dressed in a suit - that came in after us.

Excuse me. But whatever made you think we're not there to seriously look for shoes? Did we look a tad too young to be earning a living? Do we look like we can only afford shoes that are no more than $19.90? Or is it coz we're not all decked out in gucci or chanel?? Heck if we were decked out in gucci or chanel, would we give a rat's ass for j west?!

What you did was revolting. You have potential to be the face of the local service industry - the rubbish local service industry. I don't understand how you and well..countless other crappy sales people cultivate such horridly selective smiley service attitude. I mean, everyone who walks into your shop, IS a customer, whether or not they buy something from you eventually.
You should be ashamed of yourself, for having such LOUSY work attitude, for JUDGING others and well just plain spoiling the name of the product you're SUPPOSED to promote.

SHAME ON YOU.

"Thanks" for making my shopping trip at the raffles city store today memorable. As long as you're working there, I won't be back.

i hate periods.

urgh.
i hate them.
leaves me in agony & misery for days every month.
i had THE worse case of the menstrual blues..to date..over the past few days.
i was depressed. cry-ey. miserable. bloated. uncomfortable. i hate pads. ergh. it NEVER fails to make me feel unsafe..no matter what the ads claim.
yea. and after the worst of the bleeding passes, i feel sillly for behaving how i behaved.
damn these hormones.

1 bad dish + 1 weird phonecall + 1 bleh encounter

"1 bad dish.."

that was last saturday..but i never quite got around to posting it..till now!
anywooooooooos
i had lunch at S*k*e S*shi..nice place..the decor i mean
good company =P
but unfortunately..the dish i ordered was.. far from good.
i ordered this hotpot chicken thing - Sukiyaki Chicken - it looked really nice in the menu..( it's sad when food arrives..looks NOTHING like the picture -_-! )

THE picture :
nice little pot filled with fresh veggies, spring onions, tofu, mushrooms ; with a nice plate of thinly sliced chicken & an egg in a bowl - it's like a mini steamboat dish

THE actual dish :
a huge pot of brown liquid. yup brown..the colour you would get when you mix 2 servings soy sauce with 1 serving of water. and no..i didn't see much other other than brown. coz even the white tofu is a light brown colour in that soup. the veggies...ohh dear..also sadly and boringly tinted brown as well. hmm....are you feeling sick yet?
i knew when i saw the dish that i would very likely be disappointed..
i was right. i tried a spoonful of the brown soup and..
no it didn't taste like soy sauce with water!
INSTEAD..it tasted like teriyaki sauce.
it was very sweet..abit salty but mostly sweet. it was like drinking sauce..except in a watery soup form.
are you puking yet? i hope not..coz i'm not done yet..

i'm not sure how the dish is supposed to taste like..but surely a good cook knows that when you overload a dish on a particular taste..it ruins the whole dish. for example..curry. you can use the best ingredients..the freshest spices..but if you overload on the spiciness of the gravy..how's anyone gonna enjoy it? people will be concentrating on the overwhelming spice instead of truly enjoying the other flavours of the curry.

i was so sad to find that i won't be getting any thinly sliced chicken where i can cook it myself in the pot. coz the chicken..which was just chunks..not sliced..was already in the brown mess!
it tasted funny..bleurgh..the chicken i mean.

i somehow managed to struggle through the dish..
i poured alot of hot water into the pot..hoping to dilute the stuff into something lighter & drinkable. i gave up. the taste was just BLEURGH..
at one point i resorted to dipping all the veggies & tofu into hot water to get rid of the taste before eating it.
OH! the soup wasn't even hot enough..coz the pathetic little flame there was burned out after awhile..so my egg..was like half cooked - only a thin layer of the yolk was cook so i had a floating yellow ball in my brown soup.

the best thing about that awful thing..was the sole mushroom i found in the pot. ONE.

now..for my verdict ( which i think you've already figured out..)
the sukiyaki chicken...was SUPER-YUCKY
please..DO NOT EVER TRY THAT UNLESS YOU LOVE TERIYAKI SAUCE SO MUCH YOU EAT A BOTTLE A DAY.
S*k*e S*shi isn't a BAD restaurant..although not the best place to have conveyor belt sushi..but THAT dish..is really really atrocious..DOESN'T ANYONE TASTE THE FOOD THEY SELL?

"1 weird phonecall.."

this also happened on saturday. it was after the super-yucky chicken.
Oh..i haven't mentioned that i was at marina square.
so yea i was about to buy icecream when my phone rang..well it vibrated
i took it out of my bag to see a number - that wasn't in my phonebook - reflected on the screen.
so i let it ring for awhile..while i try to recall who it might be..coz it looked like my hair dresser's number but it can't be coz i have her no. stored in my phone.. i didn't pick up the call.
then it finally struck me..
it's this guy i used to see like quite a long time ago...who hasn't contacted me ( which is good coz there's no point in doing so ) since a long time ago.
i was wondering why the heck he would call me now..? so weird laa..it can't be anything good..maybe he saw me at marina square..maybe
but oh well if he did then he did..i'm just glad i didn't see him!

"1 bleh encounter.."

it's about this silly ah beng at my workplace. *sigh* i think he has a crush on me. not that i'm thick skinned or anything but people around me have noticed that he likes to check me out. *sigh* so silly laa!!! he thinks i'm younger than him but in actual fact..i'm 3 year older than him.

SO this happened yesterday when he came into the office looking for superglue. after he got the glue..as he was leaving the office..he lingered at the door..looking at me. i was at my desk..not giving him any extra attention..as usual.
and for some weird reason..he "PSSSSTtttt" me! to get my attention
i thought it was so weird and quite amusing to be PSSSSTtt-ed at so i looked up and gave him a half amused/half puzzled look.
you might think that he was trying to say something to me..but nooooo..he left.
contented that he got a second of my attention.
that's so silly laaa

i told my family about it when i got home..and my sisters have been making fun of the whole PSSSSTtt thing since. i think they might do that to him when they ever come visit me at the office. =P

Woohoo!

i got my photocard driving license! got it in the mail on wednesday =)
no more bringing around the silly payment receipt/temporary paper license =P

oh and we've decided..as a family..to buy us a second car..a relatively affordable mini mpv!

*confetti*
