Something unusual that happened that day [&] A Special Moment you enjoyed with your family

Hey guys!

Welcome to my forth entry for my English Blog Creation Project.


Today was a really busy day for me.
It consisted of TWO important things to do.

I'll start with the first one. :)



Judging by the insanely accurate and high resolution photo, I'm pretty sure that you can depict what I had today.

Yup, you guessed it. I had a Flu Jab! :(

Some of my friends should know about this, for I sacrificed a very important (wink) Macdonalds lunch meeting with them. And trust me, it is scarier than it sounds. I had to leave school immediately after class was dismissed, and run towards my parents' car, for the appointment was dangerously close to my school dismissal time; not to mention eating a Burger King 'Tendercrisp' in the car as lunch - Yum!

When we got to the Clinic, or rather, 'Mini-Hospital', we quickly registered our names and waited. And waited. And waited. Rather mad, we were - as we rushed all the way to the Clinic cum Mini Hospital just to wait, yet again, for the number count to hit ours. Luckily, television beckoned us to live on, as we watched 'Wheel Of Fortune' on Channel 5 that was showing on a nearby TV while we waited impatiently for a five second jab. The suspense was killing me.

Finally, it was our turn. My family took turns to get the injection. Soon, it was my turn. Frankly saying, I was indeed shivering. I never liked needles. Just try imagining someone holding a Home Economics (hint-hint; previous post) needle and attempting to penetrate your skin with flu liquid oozing into your blood vessel. And what if he makes a mistake? [Add Dramatic Sound Effects Here]

"Okay, sleeve up, get ready... injection." And the moment of truth arrives. The needle went in, and out - in a mere 5 seconds. 'AW COME ON.' I really overestimated the pain of the injection. It was barely an ant bite. All that nerve racking for nothing. However, my hand is currently aching and partially numb due to the jab's side-effect. Bummer.

Remember I said at the start of the post that there were two important things that happened today?

Here's the second one.

After leaving the Clinic cum Mini Hospital, we went to hotel called 'M Hotel' for dinner. (It was already rather late after we had settled the administrative papers in the Clinic, so we decided to go for dinner) Now don't get me wrong now folks, it's not a MOTEL, its a Hotel. Its name just so happens to be 'M' Hotel. Here's a photo of it. (Gee, this is a long post. :| )



You might be thinking right now, 'So what IS the second important thing that happened today?', or rather,'Why would you be at a hotel during a school day?'

Well, it is actually my Parent's Wedding Registration Anniversary, or to put it short,'Anniversary', today. We celebrated, or rather THEY celebrated in a hotel, which they brought my brother and I along. We ate dinner at a Buffet Restaurant called the... drum roll please... 'BUFFET RESTAURANT!' :D Ah, the awkwardness. It's actually a restaurant that serves Steam-Boat Dinners which in this case, is a Buffet version, where you take the raw food from the counters and place it in the boiling soup on your table.

Silly me, I was trying to transfer the soup from the boiling hot pot, but held my bowl on the bottom, which would mean I would feel the extreme burn once the soup is fully filled up. Realising my mistake, I jerked my hand to the top of the bowl where I would not get burnt at, but instead, spilt the boiling hot soup onto my hand, and some of the soup that was in the pot. My hand is currently redish beige even as I type this blog entry. Ouch...

But all in all, the Buffet was really, really nice. And I'm pretty sure my Parents had an enjoyable Anniversary.

So I guess that concludes my really long post, and hope this post has engaged you as much as those that have, previously in my blog! :D

I thank you.

-Vincent.

PS: Did you know, all my English Blog Creation Project Posts all begin with a 'Hey Guys!' ? Neither.





Editor's note (that's me) : My parent's Anniversary is real and not faked, unlike a certain guy with a mushroom-like hairstyle that faked his sister's (cough-cough) birthday in a blog entry. ;) Thanks.
