Importance of dental hygiene

Yes, lack of updates. Laziness has caught up with me. Today I shall tell you the story of my tooth. Rewinding back to monday, I had to pluck my tooth. Not juz any tooth, it's a molar. While visiting the doctor, swallowing pills and injections are a breeze to me. Sitting in the dentist's chair.... isn't. Then again, it might be the case for many others as well.

Knowing tt I might not be able to eat after plucking my tooth. Me aka miss smart ass, took the liberty of eating whatever I can before the extraction. Which lead to various problems... eg. heartburn. Which is a terrible feeling. See, both Alvin and my appointment is on the same day. Except for the 30 min difference. Since I was so overwhelmed with fear, I told Alvin to go in for his filling first. In the meantime, I went to the bakery to buy me some honey cakes. Went to 7-11 for some drinks. Finish my cake, took as many smokes as possible while sipping on my small packet of yeo's lemon barley. As the clock ticked, paranoia filled me up. Although I've eaten as much as my stomach can take. At tt moment before going in to accept my fate on tt dreadful chair. I suddenly felt so hungry, like I could devour a whole elephant. YES! Call me paranoid... call me stupid... laugh at me. But believe when I say I was so afraid.

Alvin finally came out. Part of me wished tt he would take a longer time, so as to delay as much time as possible for me. Then again, procrastination was what caused tt paticular tooth to decay so much. If I drag on any further, my whole row of teeth might be gone. And imagine the pain? No. I had to get it over and done with. I stood up, braced myself and walked in smiling. Actually, I was about to cry.... inside.

After 2 anesthetic jabs in the mouth.. may I add. I know, it's silly since I have to pluck my tooth. The jabs have to be in the mouth right? Okay, continue. After 2 anesthetic jabs, the left side of my face was partially numb. The dentist poked around and made sure I could feel absolutely nothing. She promised me I would feel absolutely nothing. She lied. After 2 attempts of loosening the tooth, she gave up.

Dentist: I'm sorry, if you're so nervous. I cannot pluck your tooth for you. I suggest you go to ndc and let them give u the gas to relax you.
Me: Huh? Why can't you juz ignore my screaming and go ahead?
Dentist: Because if you continue liddat, and you pass out. I won't be able to resuscitate you. I cannot be responsible for tt.
Me: But you said I would feel absolutely nothing. I still feel the pain.
Dentist: Tt is not pain, it's juz pressure.
she went on to push my shoulder with much force.
Me: OUCH!
Dentist: Ya, tt's pressure. Not pain.
Me: (in my mind) Ya right. whatever.
Dentist:I write you a referal letter, you can go over to ndc. okay?
Me: Okay.

I walked out. Part relieved, part scared, part happy, part sad, part angry and part irritated. I won't deny I feel good because I won't have to go through anymore of tt excruciating pain. But I know the tooth had to come out sooner or lata. With much persuasion and support frm Alvin, I walked in again. Telling the dentist to give it one more shot, and if it still doesn't work. I'll go.

Seriously, the last pull was the one tt I couldn't take. I tolerated and tolerated, finally I couldn't take it anymore. I screamed. Due to the unbearable pain, tears jerked out naturally. I became like a little girl again. But I knew it was too late to give up now. Gripping on to Alvin's hands as if I was clinging on to my dear life. I closed my eyes tight, opened my mouth wide..... *screams followed*... "Okay! It's out!". Tt was all I needed to hear at tt moment. The dentist showed me the tooth, it was in bad shape. Really bad one. She asked if I wanted to bring it home, but I declined. First, tt paticular tooth caused me so much trauma and pain. Second, it was juz too disgusting to look at. If I showed it to u guys, you'd probably puke.

After something like 10 mins which felt more like 10 days... my stubborn molar finally gave in. And the dentist managed to pluck the whole tooth out without leaving any little fragments in the gums. Which means I won't have to go through any minor surgery. Which also means no stitching! Tt is one good thing.

Actually I'm still kinda pissed off with the dentist, coz it really did hurt. It was not juz pressure. Perhaps it was my low threshold of pain or perhaps she didn't numb me well enough. But the pain was excruciating. She said I would feel absolutely nothing. I say tt's abso-fuckin-lute bullshit. When I extracted my wisdom tooth, I really felt absolutely nothing. And god.. tt was my wisdom tooth.Sighs. Whatever.. now the nightmare's finally over. No wait.. I have 2 more wisdom tooth to go. FUCK.

健康就是财富

As mentioned in this entry title, health is prosperity. I'm not kidding or scaring you. This comes from real life = me.

Thyroid problems: 8 pills a day

Skin problems: 2 pills a day with scar removal cream. But due to sensitive skin, my face started to peel. It got so tight, I can't smile or show any emotion. It was as if I juz took a botox jab or I was doing facial mask. So I went back to the doctors.. and got more pills. End of the day, I now have 3 pills a day.

Tooth problems: 20 pills a day. I know it's kinda scary.

Conclusion: On the average I have to swallow 30 pills a day. The good thing is, it's temporary. Once I've got my tooth extracted I will have lesser pills to take. And my face treatment course is about done. If I take my thyroid pills consistently, my dosage will be decreased. So pple, please take care of your health because taking so many pills at one time. Is NOT fun. And my body has developed resistance to strong painkillers and sleeping pills. Sooner or lata, pills in the pharmacy are not gonna help me anymore. =( Ya know after typing all these, I realise I'm still self contradicting myself. Because, I'm a smoker. After what? more than 10 years or smoking... my lungs probably have alr disintegrated by now. Smokers unite! Let's quit together...

Ya right. Bullshit is what you're gonna say. Whatever happened to mind over matter? Sighs.


Yes, it's this much. And this is only the morning dosage. I'm one sick girl.. literally.

Btw, yesterday was pretty erm... fulfilled. I sold my beloved w900 and bought a new phone. I love my new phone really... but I kinda miss w900. Coz I can flip it. I know, u wanna kill me.

Woke up at about 10am, went down for breakfast then off to the salon. Reached home after 12. Went out to sell my phone around 1.30pm. Down to ponggol clinic due to my peeling face. Alvin got paranoid coz he was sitting close to a girl with chicken pox. Yes, paranoid. He started to feel itchy all over. It was damn crowded in ponggol clinic. First time I ever saw a crowd there.. really. Left ponggol close to 4. Bought food and went home to eat and slack abit. Phone rang, not mine. Since I don't have one. My new phone's ready for collection. Went out at something like 5.10 to get my phone. And left for my dentist appointment at 6pm which I was early for. And since I have to finish my course of antibiotics and anti swelling pills. I didn't get my tooth extracted. However, the extraction is going to happen... nxt monday. So instead, Alvin got his scaling after much procrastination. Finally. BTW, all trips here and there were travelled by cab. Hole in our pockets! I would rather juz rent a car... about the same price. I think.

Well.. Presenting my new phone.

The W810i! HEHE. I is a happy girl. Wonder when I'm gonna change my phone again. LOL. Then again, lucky deals where I won't have to pay a single cent for a new phone. Only happens once... I got pretty good a deal.. I guess?

Happy Birthday Darling!!

Yes! Finally... today marks the 25th birthday of... tt handsome below...


Hee hee... handsome right? I told you... =p

Yes, it's Alvin's b'day today! *sings* "Happy birthday to you... happy birthday to you..." Yea, the simple celebration started with his swensen's ice cream cake. Which I *ahem* being a very smart girl bought for him.... And the day after I ordered the cake. Alvin told me "Dar... can I have an ice cream cake?" HEH! Told u I'm smart right? The cake was close to perfect. It was pretty, delicious and sweet. BUT... the wordings look like a 3 yr old handwriting. Except with chocolate fudge. Serious.


SEE! I told you..

Then again, it juz doesn't really matter. Tt paticular piece of white chocolate.. went into Alvin's stomach. Okay I know you don't wanna read much.. more pictures!


I love this picture! I think both Alvin and the cake looks good... yum yum.


Now, Elisa took too many pictures. So Alvin got angry. His face reads "EH! Stop taking pictures of me and go study for ur o's!" WAHAHAHA


Candle in the wind.... No la... in the dark.


Make a wish.. blow ur candles! Or erm.. candle. See, Alvin requested for juz one candle. Coz he said if he were 80 yrs old.. and he has to blow 80 candles.. tt will really suck.


Cake cutting time! Well, we had some difficulty cutting the cake coz the ice cream was too cold and hard. Refer below..

>
Alvin trying to cut the cake with much force. But it won't budge!


Then I came to try. Can't blame a girl for tryin to cut a cake right? Okay... so I failed. What? I'm a girl with weak hands! And tt Elisa... juz can't stop taking pictures. Sighs.


Me trying to cut the cake.. Apparently, I made things worse and almost overturned the cake! So Alvin shoo-ed me away.. and now.. let the man do the job!


This is how it's done okay!! I'm THE man!!


Uncle Nick is very happy coz he can have cake soon! Greedy! =p


Finally... We have cake! See! I've got a heart shaped one. Everybody.. go "AWWWWWWWW" now!!! Lol..


We are happy with the ice cream cake!! It really was delicious btw.. except a little too cold. My teeth are sensitive...


Here's what mum and Elisa got for Alvin. Cologne! Juz nice... yours is finishing anyway. Oh and dar.. crave is really gonna be outta the market soon. So treasure it k! You won't see it in Singapore soon... so time to think what scent you're gonna wear when you're done with this! Smell good for me k!! *grins*


Here's what I got for Alvin... a crumpler bag! As requested..


And... a beautiful watch. I think it's really pretty! And it looks good on Alvin's hand. They compliment each other so well.. hehe. Okay, I'm juz trying to say I bought a good gift la. Anyway, I thought the bag juz wasn't enough. Tt's why I got him a watch. Plus his is really worn and old. But who knows... he has a tag heur at home... he juz doesn't wanna use it. Diaoz right?

Okay darling, I hope you enjoyed yourself. The presents are juz gifts.. the real present hor.. is me. =p


Once again my dearest... Happy Birthday!! I love you!

Why I am boring

I was juz telling Alvin tt me and my girlfriends used to joke about engineers being the most boring of the male species. Seeing tt Alvin is a future engineer, I decided to irritate him with this joke. Anyway, he's always telling me how boring a person he is. And it juz suddenly struck me, I am juz as boring as he is. Or more so. Honest.

1. Today, Alvin and I watched 3 movies. Of those three, 2 were re-runs for Alvin. And all 3... were re-runs for me.

2. From 7am in the morning till 6pm, we did nothing but lay around, chain smoking, down green tea and watch movies.

3. Alvin has a job... well, something like tt. He's on attachment. Me? I basically have nothing to do. I'm juz wasting time till school starts in june. At least he's programming half of the day. I'm probably eating or napping. Maybe tt's why mission shed-fats failed.

4. I read gossips and tabloids over and over again until I find myself on the bed reading nicholas sparks... again.

5. I spend 45 min ironing my hair to perfection. When I could have the hairdresser do it for me in 15 min. I need to find something to do you see...

6. I spend 30 mins blogging about how boring I am. See? I am a boring person.

My dear, you're right. It takes a boring person to recognise another boring person. Maybe tt's why we're we're a perfect match. Like you always say.. lol. Btw, ur birthday is not a big hoo-ha. It's juz ur birthday, and you receive gifts and have a good time. If spending a quiet night with me is all u ask for, you shall have it. If u hate surprises, then I won't have a surprise for u. =D Like I always say, ask and you shall receive. Anything for you darling! Btw, a green-pig piggy bank is not cheapo. It's a really thoughtful gift. I need to save money.. since I'm such a spendthrift. HEE. Plus the really "chocolatey" chocolate fudge cake was delicious. It's the thought tt counts right? It juz so happens tt my thought is more expensive. HEH.

Okay folks, I actually have alot more to blog about. But I don't wanna meddle in other pple's business. It's not nice. So I'm juz gonna leave it here. Until the nxt time I get bored... Ciaoz!

Anyway, I juz remembered something. (refer to previous entry) I'm 21 days late for the progress package right? Imagine those born on 1st of January 1985 12am! OMG. One FREAKIN minute late!! I feel for them man.. I really do. Sighs.

*note to self* pls remember to collect cosmo!

I wish I was born in 1984

In retrospect, every Singapore citizen gets their I/C (identification card) at the age of 12. Then during 1996 (I think) the government brought in the new rule. People will only get their I/C's at the age of 15. F*CK. Coz I was turning 12 in a month. So kids born in the year 1985 are the first batch to get their I/C's at age 15. Back then, I wish I was born in 1984. URGH. Although tt didn't quite affect me. Except for the fact tt I can't wait for have "that" pink card. Duh.

10 years down the road.

Time frame: 2006
Current Age: 21 (wef 21st Jan 2006)

I'm finally 21! Everybody's talking about the Government "AngBao" they got. But when asked, all I can say is "I don't have lor".. followed by a big *Pout*. Why? Coz I have to be aged 21 years or above as of 31 December 2005. I was so happy when I read the first rule - You must be a Singapore Citizen. I was like Check! Then the second... made me angry!! What? Those born after 31st December 1984 are not Singaporeans? URGH. I am 21 days late to get the Government Angbao. Progress Package? Ya right.

Conclusion: Pple born in the year 1985 damn suay.

Again, I wish I was born in 1984. Eh! Stop picking on 1985 babies okay!! HMPH!!

Conquered!

Yes! I would LURRRVVVE to announce tt my in grown nail... is out. NOT by kareen (my favourite cutie mani/pedicurist). But... by myself. WOOO. Walking now is a breeze... I no longer feel tt irritating pain in my toe. I would love to show u guys some pictures. But too bad my camera is outta battery. Then again, it's so disgusting you might probably puke your guts out. Why? Coz the in-grown nail caused an infection. Which lead to swollen, hard white coloured skin around my toe. And to cut the stupid nail inside, my flesh had to make way. Which lead to a big hole between my flesh and my nail. Disgusting? YES! BUT damn uber comfortable. It hurt a hell lot. No joke. But, I really savour the fruits! Comfort walking. Now, I can finally wear those damn heels. Yes!

Enough with my nail.. Can you believe tt a person like me has never been to cozy bay? Say yes now. Coz I never have. Even the area near Cozy bay - Stadium Cove. Except for a few years back when I got a few free tix to watch mayday's concert which totally kicked ass. Other than tt.. I never go there. So when Alvin brought me there during the weekends I was like a mountain tortoise! GRRRR. He wanted to bring me to 无招牌海鲜 or some 台湾粥 for dinner. But.. I picked the latter coz I prefer light food. The interior was super retro... and the porridge comes in a tub. Ya.. a tub. I was thinking how am I gonna finish it.. Lol. But we didn't though... Alvin says we don't have to. =p I am officially silly dumb dumb.

Was reading through my past entries and found tt I really can't write! Before my compos were always hung up on school boards. Ya.. Before. There's alot about practice... now... I juz can't write for nuts. I wonder what would tt be like when I go back to school. Urgh. The thought of school still irks me. Never mind. Work isn't all tt appealing anyway! =p

Okay... I'm gonna wallow in self pity now. Coz I have "THE" cramps, bloated tummy, loss of appetite and a sore back. Yea... all syptoms of the event tt takes place every month. I hate it! Lucky for me, it only lasts 3 days. Yay!

I have a sleeping problem

While Alvin darling is now sleeping soundly on the bed, I am blogging... in a half conscious state of mind.

I Hereby announce tt I have amnesia.

I thought one stillnox would help me concus. Apparently not... it only caused me hallucinations. Then after a while... the medicine wore off. And I was awake... pop the second stillnox in. I'm hallucinating more... And while I'm blogging now... my eyes are half closed. Kinda feel like I'm fainting soon.... Why can't I sleep??? WHY?!?!

I NEED A STRONGER PRESCRIBTION FOR SLEEPING PILLS. PLEASE!

Time now: 5.56am
Now after a good 90 mins. I'm no longer hallucinating. Although when I walk, I still feel kinda light. Ya know how tt feels? Like you're not walking.. you're gliding. Something liddat.

Rewinding back to yesterday morning.. Alvin went to work. And I fell straight into slumber. 2 hours lata... I woke up. With an excruciating pain... the pain was almost unbearable. My gastritis was up... I couldn't move.. or walk or even lie down. It will only increase the pain. My head was alr spinning circles worst of all.. I felt nauseated. At tt point of time.. I really felt like I was dying. Serious... it was those kinda "rip my bones off piece by piece" pain. I juz couldn't help it but cry and call Alvin. Luckily it was close to lunch time... so he flew down by cab and brought me to see the doctor. So touched! Brought me home for some food... tucked me into bed and sneaked out to go back to work. Where to find a sweetheart like him? Cannot find alr.. I love you baby!

Finally it was night... I knew I couldn't sleep so I popped one sleeping pill to make it easier for me. It took one hour for me to sleep.. even with the sleeping pill. Finally after I fell asleep JH called... and woke me up frm my precious sleep. Tt's it... I cannot sleep again. So I slacked abit.. watch some tv with mum. Came back into my room.. popped my second pill of stillnox. With so much hope tt could juz concus and sleep. NOPE. I didn't concus... I had hallucinations. I slept on and off and on and off. Till now... I don't know if I did sleep at all. First was tt stupid phone call from JH. Next was Alvin's super loud surround sound. Even earplugs couldn't help. Sighs. My darling is really so tired. Damn you JH. I could've slept all the way lor! GRRRRR. Coz if you didn't call, I would've alr concussed. And in my concuss mode I am totally ignorant to everything else happening around me. Including snoring... Sighs.. I need to sleep. I need to sleep. I NEED TO SLEEP! Somebody... help me!

A new month

We've all stepped 3 days into the month of April. If you do the math, one quarter of the year has passed. Yes I know, it's a simple calculation a primary school kid can sum up. Time flies so quickly it's scary. Before I know it my age will have two same numbers. 22. URGH. Then suddenly I'll be in my mid-twenties. After tt, welcome the 30's! NO! I'm not the least bit exhilarated by the thought of it. I don't wanna grow up. If I have a choice, I wanna be a kid who eats nothing but mcdonald's, ice cream and candy, drinks nothing but coke, does nothing but play and watch TV. How cool is tt? But like they say, every decision made comes with a sacrifice. If I become a kid again, I won't have Alvin to sayang me, I will hate Elisa, I can't buy anything I want to and I have to ask for permission to go out. Tt will suck a whole lot. But see, when I was a kid I desperately wanna grow up. Now tt I have, I wanna be a kid again or juz maybe... not grow up at all. But then again, who can stop the inevitable? Sighs.

Okay, so back on the updates. First of April was the famous April fool's day. I actually forgot all about it can? It was Alvin tt reminded me while we were having supper at Terminal one delifrance. Guess who we fooled? Our dearest Nic and Rich! I decided to call them Nic and Rich coz it rhymes. =p The conversation goes like this...

*ring ring ring ring*
Rich: Hello
Alvin: Eh did Nat call you huh?
Rich: No lei.. why?
Alvin: I quarelled with her then she pissed off and juz walk off la!
Rich: Where are u all now?
Alvin: Airport lor! I call her she don't wanna pick up, then "kup" my calls. Now I don't know where the fuck is she la.
Nat: *trying to control laughter*
Rich: Huh? What happen sia?
Alvin: No la, juz now the delifrance guy attitude problem. Very rude to us. Then Nat pissed off and scold him. So I told her to calm down and forget it. But she don't wanna let go. Then I cannot tahan and tell her What the fuck you want? Then she angry and walk off lor. Then now I dunno what to do. How?
Rich: Ar.. okay relax bro. I call her for you.
Alvin: Ah okay okay.. thanks bro.

My phone rang.. Nic calling. But I juz couldn't control my laughter so I didn't pick up. Nic called again.. my laughs are still spilling out. So I still didn't pick up. Rich called... second time... I finally picked up...

Nat: Hello... (trying to control laughter)
Rich: Eh miss.. calm down calm down.
Nat: Huh? Orh.. okay. HAHAHA. You wait ar.
Sets phone on speaker...

Nat and Alvin: HAPPY APRIL FOOLS!
Nic and Rich: CHEEBYE!@#$%^!!%^(*)_(*&@!$*&amp^(&!

The rest were juz rantings and scoldings we got frm Nic. Frankly, she spouted so many things I can't remember exactly what she said. But I do remember she was shouting and screaming. My poor ear drums almost broke. =x Okay nic... don't worry... I still love you. You're forgiven. HAHA.

You see, I think my hesitating to pick up their calls due to my uncontrollable laughter did add up to the drama and caused extra uneccesary worry to them. Things like these can only fool once. The nxt round, they will catch our bluff. So Alvin and I have decided to MIA on 01/04/2007. Especially frm Nic and Rich. Muahahaha.

Anyway, I didn't play mahjong on friday. Short of one "leg". Hopefully get to play nxt week... hehehehe. Went to orchard yesterday with Alvin.. it was seriously crowded. Plus we get to hide under one umbrella while waiting for our cab to arrive. Oh how romantic! *blush* And.. darling bought me a new black satin slip and a new bra from Blush!. And a new bag.. hehehe. Thanks dear! Muacks Muacks! Went for late night movie also... Inside Man. It's good. Brilliant story, funny lines, superb cast, adequate amount of mystery and thrills! Go catch it if you haven't! The next big thing's gonna be Eight below with all the cute huskies. See, chicks love dogs and movies... not to mention a movie with so many cute dogs. And men basically... well... love chicks. It's a done deal! Anyway, I alr have it in soft copy... but the quality is not tt good. So you cheapos... come look for me! Okay.. I'm kidding. You're not a cheapo! You juz can't wait to see those cute dogs... right? =p I'm kidding about the "come look for me" part too.. by the way. hahahaha.

Okay.. I seriously need to sleep now. Alvin had to go home to teach his sis chemistry tonight. So we are sleeping seperately! Sobs. We are lonely sleeping pple tonight and tomorrow night! I is missing Alvin now!
