Last December, I removed my first set of wisdom teeth and placed my name on the waiting list for braces at the National Dental Centre. I knew it was going to be expensive, but thought I would have found a job by the time it was my turn (I was told it would take about a year plus).

Well, I got a call from them and am going to see the dentist (or orthodontist-trainee) tomorrow. Still undecided on whether I should just go to a private clinic... (p_q) 

The fallen angel

I was preparing to bake a pumpkin pie in the kitchen when an unusually strong wind suddenly started blowing, toppling bins, clocks and what-nots. I paid no attention, though it felt pretty scary. Upon returning to my room, I found my commencement group photo on the floor, together with the magnets that had held it onto the whiteboard. As I picked up the magnets I discovered with horror that the magnet had come off the aboriginal girl that I'd bought atthe Taoyuan airport. My mom tried to console by saying that I can at least keep the toy. I thought, that's true, and that's when I made another horrible discovery. One of the ears had broken. I rushed back to my room, cursing the unwanted wind. I finally found the missing piece on the floor and was contemplating how to glue it back when I saw that another small pie e of her head was chipped off. And one of her wings is broken. And lost.

青玉案 元夕 [辛弃疾]

东风夜放花千树，更吹落星如雨。宝马雕车香满路，凤箫声动，玉壶光转，一夜鱼龙舞。
蛾儿雪柳黄金缕，笑语盈盈暗香去。众里寻他千百度，蓦然回首，那人却在，灯火阑珊处。

Happy 15th Anniversary to SPEED ( ^ _ ^)∠☆PAN！

当你毅然放下心头最爱，原来在最初的最初，爱从来不是占有。

On 31 October in 1981, Voldemort entered their home. James told Lily to take Harry and leave while he held him off. James, however, was killed before Lily and Harry could escape the house. Trapping mother and son in Harry's nursery, Voldemort, honouring Snape's request to spare her life, offered Lily a chance to step aside. She steadfastly refused to stop shielding her son, and Voldemort killed her. Because Lily's death was a willing sacrifice, not a mere casualty of war like James's, Harry was marked with the protection of her love, and Voldemort's Killing Curse rebounded off the one-year old, destroying the Dark Lord's body and temporarily defeating him. If not for Snape's love for Lily, which led to him to beg Voldemort for Lily's life, her death would not have been a willing sacrifice, and there would have been no Boy Who Lived.

I've never fully appreciated the significance of Snape. Can't stop thinking about him since DH and now the track 'In the end' is stuck in my head...
