Its a brand new blog! *lets assume* been a really long time since i last update. Wanted to regain the blogging habit sometimes back but something seemed to be stopping me. hmm.

Anyway!. yup I am having my last week of holiday before i start 'fighting' in the coming sem. Have been doing CO-related stuffs for this whole holiday. I won say it bad becos at least i felt 'useful' even i am in holiday.

Result was released on tues (monday night 11.59.59pm). Didn really do TAT well but its the best since i enter uni. LOL (ppl must be thinking my first yr is realli cui). i am still doing last min work ] but i guess i was more efficient this time. I manage to camp in lib one week before my exam. I am proud to say it's the most hard working period in my life, even in O lvl or A lvls i couldn do it at all. Thanks Buddha din kick mi away.

hmm i wonder should i go GSS still, because i have no electives to clear anymore. hmmm.

Anyway! i jus plucked my wisdom tooth 2 days ago at medical centre! Its been more than 8 yrs since i last extracted any tooth!. My wisdom tooth has been aching all along at times but whenever i went for check up, it stopped aching, so this goes on and last sun night, it was so painful that i wish someone could box me to coma. So the next day, i call medical center and booked for an appointment. Surprisingly, they are rather free! I could pluck my tooth the very next day.

As i heard from people who had extracted their tooth before, they all claimed it was painful (except my dad) lol. And i think that is also the reason which stops me from extracting. More than 1/2 of my tooth is hidden in my gum, so it was not as simple as plucking out, i tot the procedure would take quite long but actually not! I reached at ard 12.45pm, the dentist injects anesthetic and sent me to take X ray. After he check up for another one and 2 person, my surgery starts!. I cant feel anything, i lie down and saw him using a scapel, from den on, i close my eyes oredi. The next time i open my eyes, he oredi starts sawing my gum wif a hook-like thing. de whole surgery took ard 15 mins de most.

The doctor told mi to rest and go home immediately, he said it would be very pain later. So i went home after collect my medicine at 2pm (drop by dhoby to buy a puzzle =X). when the MRT reaching payalebar, i felt that the anesthetic has started to lose its effect ( argh). so cabbed back and lie on the bed til evening. From den on til now, my gum area is constantly in pain, the painkiller's effect is rather inconsistent as well. It takes quite awhile to have the effect and the effect sometime last a few hrs and sometime it don shows o.o.

And i could say i am eating at the slowest rate in my life! it took me 20 mins to finish a half bow of porridge! The nurse said i must avoid cold, hot, spicy and hard food, sad to say, rice all that is consider as hard food as well. -.-. so basically, i can oni eat porridge and veri soft food. for the hard food part, i think its not that we are not allow to eat, but we cant eat! once u open ur mouth too big or chew too hard, ur gums will hurt. so we cant do anything to it, we can only guai guai follow the instructions. The tips i have learn from this wisdom tooth extraction is that,

Before wisdom tooth extract (surgery)

• don get sick!. i myself is having light flu and sore throat at the same time, so at night its really tiring. I cant breath normally becos my nose is block, and when you use ur month to breath, your gum area would be rather dry so you need to constantly, secret saliva and swallow, and when you swallow, your throat is hurting. Its a vicious cycle. Make sure you are perfectly normal before your extraction

• PLS EAT! HAVE A FEAST! Even thou normally ur gum takes about 1wk+ to recover, it might takes quite a few weeks before your mouth is as comfortable as what you have always been.

During extraction

• nth much here, just listen to the instruction, its not painful at all, and its done very quickly.

After extraction.

• go home immediately! yups, rest rest rest, if its realli painful, have a painkiller, if not, first 24 hrs u can use ice bag to relief your pain, after 24 hrs, use a warm bag.

• you will notice that u cant brush the area ard ur gums becos it hurts. yups, so everyday, brush the rest of the part normally, but at night before you slp, put 1/2 tsp of salt in a cup of plain water and wash the affected gum area. ;)

• swelling is normal after one day so don worries, and if its still bleeding, fold a clean handkerchief or piece of gauze and bite it for 10 to 15 mins!

thats what my tips!.so yups. jus rest well for a wk ;) below is a pic of de most of my teeth!. some lost oredi. think after extraction too scare and jus run home =x. its obvious which one is my wisdom tooth!.

lastly, I am still worrying over the teaching bond!. should i sign? even my heart is 70% confirm but i wonder where did the 30% goes. :(. is it still the dream of working in SPH? but i felt myself have no talent at all. And signing MOE bond allows mi to lighten the burden of my family as well. Till sept den, its really, confusing. cya! i shall cont to nua.


btw burlesque is nice! i love those dancing movies!
