Toothache....

I feel like crying.
I have a major toothache that appeared all of a sudden out of nowhere. Argh!!!

The pain started last night just before dinner. I could still chew my food but I started to panic and immediately after dinner, I went home, brushed my teeth (at 10 pm...!!) and gargled with oral solution for a good 5-10 minutes. Huh.... I didn't eat anything after that.

Went to bed, woke up today not feeling the pain, so I thought, "Ok, it's gone."
When I brushed my teeth, the pain told a different story.
Had a warm drink for breakfast.
Went to church but the pain was constantly there!!
The pain throbbed until I could feel it up the right side of my head!!! Please don't eat my brain...

I couldn't concentrate on anything.
And worse, I have a tendency to press that particular tooth with my tongue. All the more it hurts... (Le stupide)

Lunch was difficult for me. I couldn't chew on the right side. Any slight pressure brought a jolt of pain so bad that it made me wince. Dahla I eat so slow kan, now with one side 'gone', I can only depend on my left side of the teeth to breakdown my food!!! That would make me even slower in finishing my food..!! Argh!!!

As expected, everyone finished before me. Due to the pain, I couldn't enjoy my lunch that well, so I didn't finish it. (I almost never finish my food anyway) Brought it back home for the dog to eat. Huh!!

I so have to make that appointment with my dreaded dentist. Ok, she's actually a very nice and gentle lady but I just don't like the drilling in my mouth. The sound hits your ears and you can feel it in your head. Seriously! I actually 'ran away' from her. She asked me to come back again for another session but I didn't. *bites lips*

It has been almost 7 years since I last saw her??? Yea, I bet there will be some people shaking their heads at me, giving me a shocked look, saying "Kath... kath..." (My lecturer called me that, beats me why, and now some of my friends do it too).

I had the same pain during my SPM year. I left it at that for (guess how long?) one whole freaking month. One month!! Why? Cause I was afraid of the dentist. -.-'

Let's just hope that this time, I'll be braver and be able to confront my fears. Please... no pulling of my wisdom tooth, I'll really faint in the dentist's chair.

Wish me luck.... huh........

UPDATED
I finally took the step to make my dental appointment. She doesn't want to see me.... :'(
Her waiting list??? Early April is the next available slot. !!!! Thank goodness the pain subsided for now, if not, well, I'll be "beavers dam" ed. One more month to gather my courage. Haha.

To Mr. KT

This post is written in honour of (no, scratch that), is written with the objective to give someone a piece of my mind. (Want my cerebrum or medulla oblongata?) Firstly, this person complained that I did not update my blog often enough. Then he said, "Kenny Sia updates everyday." Yeah right, it's not everyday la Tai Kor! And why compare me to him? I'm so tiny and puny in the blogsphere. Heh. Anyway, I'm super busy and super tired and has had no inspiration whatsoever to blog about anything till today. (Thanks to somebody...) Before I go into the second part, for all those who have yet to hear about it, (it's been publicized in her FB), my sister, Eileen is now formally engaged to her sweetheart of six, seven years. Congrats to my dear dear sister. Finally, eh? Hahah. The second part is related to this. Not referring to my sis, but me. Our good friend who complained that I don't update often, had the gall/balls (Grr...) to 'insult' me. When I sh...

Of Vampires and Werewolves

I've never really been an ardent fan of the Twilight series(boo...says you). And I have no idea why some girls go gaga over Edward the vampire. He looks so paste-y with the bloodshot eyes (yea yea he's supposed to look that way). And bleah! I think he looked way hotter in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire as Cedric Diggory . That, I can go gaga. But in Twilight??? The romance between Edward and Bella is fine. Romantic, mushy and cliched. Heh. But there's nothing much for me to shout about. (Sorry to the ardent fans, esp to my three sisters. Ha.) This year, the next sequel in this series is about to be released tentatively in November. Known as New Moon , the title is definitely appropriate since the werewolves play a bigger role this time. I didn't read any of the books in the Twilight series though my sisters finished the whole lot of it. So there's no doubt I have no idea of what's going on in the next book. But judging from this trailer of the next sequ...

My Future???

After thinking for a while, (ok, not a while but many whiles) I have finally decided what to do after I graduate (hopefully) in May this year. I have narrowed it down to two options. Sigh. Either I continue my studies and proceed wtih Masters (God, help me..) or I apply for this work and travel thing to US for six months. Will see how it goes... see which comes first. If it's the latter, I'd most probably miss my Convocation. If the former is first, the latter will no longer be on my list. We'll see we'll see. :) P/S: Applying for masters has nothing to do with what the government has allocated to help the economy.
