The past week was spent mostly at home, recuperating from another teeth extraction session. Yes, it's another one, cos the previous session only removed the right side. So this time, i have 4 teeth missing in my mouth. 2 on each side.

The 2nd session was even more killer, cos the dentist had to operate on me. Yes the same old story again, the tooth snapped, leaving the root implanted. Noob dentist couldnt take out the root, pro dentist couldnt take out the root. Gave up, decided to operate on me, but told me to wait after he had his lunch. So i spend 1 hr waiting ard with half a tooth missing, the anaesthesia wearing off.

After much hassle in the operating room, the bugger was out. The last tooth was fortunately easily extracted, so thankfully i din need another op. All in all, it was a harrowing experience. This is gonna be the last time tt i'm going for extraction. (I dun have wisdom teeth problems fortunately.)

Caught the starcraft bug again. Managed to gather some guys to play Big Game Hunters vs AI. One thing about the computer is tt they are much faster than you think so usually u get rushed before u can do anything. But in a multiplayer setting it's alittle bit better cos we can always help each other. Anyways it's all fun.

Midterms are coming, but i dun really feel the panic-ness yet. I wonder why.

Feeling alittle bit more in control lately. Positiveness. I see Nick, he's very positive, till the point tt i get envious. Sometimes i wonder how he manage to get so much energy and drive? Support from other pple perhaps, he seems to be surrounded by supportive pple, be it friends, coursemates or parents.

A song comes to mind: U2 - Sometimes you can't make it on your own. Hmm, i feel very alone in my quest to get good grades, to maintain my fitness, basketball and guitar skills. Sometimes i get very lost and very unmotivated to do anything, cos there's no one to guide me along, to push me. Kinda like during the NJ bball days, where i had to be the team coach.

I spend all my time teaching pple, but who's teaching me? Interesting problem tt i need to overcome.

The plan tt i'd worked out a few posts back, was sadly put on hold due to the braces thingy. Cos it's really uncomfortable right now till the point where i dun really want to do anything. Once i get used to it, the plan will carry on as per normal.

It's good to feel alittle motivated, and have a little sense of direction in life, however pointless that direction is.
