I had my 1st wisdom tooth pulled out last year May. I witness everything that the dentist did to me. The equipments that he used was so huge in my view and the strength that he used makes me want to faint.

It started when I experienced pain and it affects my sleep as I even woke up in the middle of the night from the sharp discomfort of my teeth and gum which I feel like tearing my mouth apart.

During that extraction moment, the dentist did quite awhile to pull out the tooth. He suggested me to go under general anaesthetic (GA) for extracting 4 at one go. Wah.. Think v easy huh... To extract all 4.

He explained that my bottom 2 are the complicated ones. As both are laying down, need to go through operation. He suggested that I should remove all 4 together.


I start to imagine if I will die of pain after the local anaesthetic (LA) wears off. So I decided to pull out the decayed tooth first.

I can't remember what was that feeling. Or rather, I don't want to think about it.

Last year December, when I went to do my teeth cleaning, the dentist says he will give me only 3 months more for my upper tooth to be extracted and max 6 months for the bottom ones.

Okay... So I drag and drag because the thought of it makes me scared. The deadline is supposed to be this year May / June but I was tied up (excuse?) and then after I moved house and I forgot about it.

So then, I started to feel the pain again. No choice, I fixed the appointment with consideration of settling my work, planning for the dates of my wifey's hen's party, wedding day and my birthday. Better keep the extraction with a bit of distance from those events.

A few weeks ago, my cousin Amy gave me the courage as she said that everything is okay as she went under general anaesthetic and have 3 of hers all removed. I made up my mind somehow that I shall go through GA and pull out the remaining 3 but then, she talked abt the jab of the GA is fpain. =( I got so terrified and started to discuss with my colleagues.

Hazel was working at a dental clinic before and explained that normally dentist will suggest GA if the operation is near nerves. Or not, she won't encourage me to do GA as it's not good for health. She says I can go through it just with LA.

Then Farhana and Nellie assured me that how easy was their operation process and it gave me huge encouragement to go for it. I watched xiaxue's entry on her wisdom tooth extraction again and she pulled out all 4 under LA! She was like doing good lor!

But she did say it's horrible thenafter. So I decided to just remove the 2 teeth of my left side. I already can't tell which side is giving me trouble now as the pain just spread across the whole set of teeth and gum.

The appointment was fixed on Tuesday. Starting from Sunday, I couldn't get to sleep at night. I was wide awake at 2am feeling horrible.

Then Monday, I don't feel like sleeping as I don't want Tuesday to come. That night, I still requested to have KFC for dinner =P

Argh... So finally, the morning before the op, I finished up a bowl of noodle and it was so yummy! When it's time to go to the dental, I dragged my feet out of the door and into the car. The moment I reached the clinic, I was already shaking.

So, on the dental chair, I trembled without able to control myself. And I blamed the air-con. I asked the dentist if my tooth is near the nerves? He says No. So okay, I can go ahead with LA to do the op. Before his jab, I stopped him and tell him I can't swallow pills, and asked him if I need to the painkiller first. He says Later.

The first jab wasn't that pain, but the 2nd and the 3rd ones are. I think he gave me 4 or 5 jabs? Think it depends on where he's injecting then it will be painful. As I have a seriously low pain threshold, I find the jabs are okay. And ya, I'm still shaking.

After chewing and swallowed the painkiller, we have to wait for a few minutes for the LA to take effect. Have to wait till the tongue, lips and chin to be numbed.

Then they blindfolded me.

And all I heard was the drilling, sawing, drilling and sawing. Halfway through, I feel pain and I made some noise, the dentist asked if I was feeling pain, I nodded and he gave me another jab =_="

Thenafter, although the sounds were unbearable, it wasn't painful at all and once he started the op, strangely, my body stopped shaking.

But I hate the pulling part. The sawing part was okay just that the noise is unpleasant. But I can feel like he needs to do alot of strength to remove the tooth. So it's like to make the tooth loose, it didn't succeed and he needs to saw again. Then loosen again, the tooth not out, he saw again =(

When it's ready to pull, he will tell me that I will hear a 'click' sound. It's like forever for me to hear that sound lor. And when I thought it's done, he continued to saw again. Argh! When will it end??

I keep hearing the dentist telling the assistant to pass him more tools. Makes me start thinking that my op have some complication somewhere and it wasn't what he expected that he gotta redo it or whatever. I feel like shitting in my pants liao lor.

Okay, I think the whole process took like 20 mins!!

When he FINALLY say its done, he starts to inject LA for the upper tooth. And he starts to sew up the opening. I hate to imagine how it's done.

Ohya, before the op, I asked him if the op will be fast? He replied me that the lower one will be faster than the upper one. waaah... And I thought I remember that time it took quite long for my upper tooth leh.

When he said that he's ready to pull the upper one. I was telling myself that I'm gonna be so dead. I wanna tell him that I don't want to pull liao, cos the op took 20 mins and the upper one will take longer, I think I will just faint before he starts to do it.

Before I know, he already put his tool on my tooth. And before I know it, he said it's DONE!

So happy! It's like less than 3 minutes for the upper tooth to come out. I didn't remember it to be so fast for my first extraction last year.

So when he says everything is over and done. And the first thing that I said was "I don't want to take out the last one le"

He just laughed and say it's a must. Sianz...

Then I "scolded" him - "You said the lower tooth is faster than the upper one!!!"

And he just laughed. Argh!

So then, I managed to go home with Mel holding me.

The stupid 3rd molar - (ya, it's decayed) YUCKZ~! This is the upper tooth. The bottom one are smashed into pieces which I can't bring it back.


The stitch. I wonder what's that black spot there. A blood clot? (ya, there's still blood) And if I continue to drag longer, it will affect the 2nd molar (the tooth besides the wisdom tooth) to decay too.

I'm so kpo to follow The Wedding. Cos Fann is my idol mah... Haa...

Way back in Year 2004, I get a chance to get so close to her due to a fliming assignment. It was a straight 5 days job on the set and with her in the studio every day. Her skin is really super nice that it glows. Fliming with her was super fun as the director was super humorous and Fann really played along like a small girl.

One of these 5 days, I went back early to the set after lunch and caught Christopher walking out of the studio. Haa! We were the only set in the studio so of course he was there to look for her. Heh! It's no big deal as they were already together since Year 2000.

I saw her wedding gown from the i weekly magazine. It's gorgeous! Wooot! Gonna catch tonight live telecast of their wedding!

Dinner time!

We went for a walk to get upclose with the cars. After only a near 10 minutes show, one of the car clash right in front of us at the corner where we were standing!

Probably already been there last year. So wasn't as excited this year. My sis was so funny, she didn't imagine that the sound can be that high-pitch loud. Oh well, I'd the same thought last year too!

It's amazing how we get together in Year 2003. The funkiest group of people and did I mention they are really crazy and fun-loving too? =P

I love to switch the warm lights to give the cosy feel

Not forgetting - Our lovely Bedroom

Our flooring. Lucky my hb insist on choosing this over the usual laminate flooring design.

Love that its so big! Our bedframe is larger than a king size mattress. There's still space for me to put our baby cot! *heh*

An elderly man in Mumbai calls his son in New York and says,'I hate to ruin your day son, but I have to tell you that your mother and I are getting a divorce; 35 years of marriage... and that much misery is enough!

''Dad, what are you talking about?' the son screams.

'We can't stand the sight of each other any longer,' the old man says.

'We're sick of each other, and I'm sick of talking about this, so you call your sister in Hong Kong and tell her!'

Frantic, the son calls his sister, who explodes on the phone.

'Like heck they're getting divorced,' she shouts, 'I'll take care of this.'

She calls Mumbai immediately, and screams at the old man, 'You are not getting divorced. Don't do a single thing until I get there. I'm calling my brother back, and we'll both be there tomorrow.

Until then , don't do a thing, DO YOU HEAR??' and she hangs up.

The old man hangs up his phone and ! ! turns to his wife.

'Okay', he says, 'It's all set. They're both coming for our anniversary and paying their own airfare!!'

Just as I thought I'm forgotten in the little corner of mine in the cold cold office, these are the 2 guys that put a smile on my face.

They are always mean to me but sometimes they are nice lar. Haa... They are sweet and caring at times to make me feel like a little girl. As I like to walk over to their desk and disturb them when nobody talks to me, they do entertain me wor. Heh.

I find that sometimes I do spend more time with my colleagues under the same roof than my family. You need to find joy at work to feel happier.

Thanks guys!

Of cos, there're more colleagues to be featured. Just that I happen to have this nice picture that I wanna share *wink*
