Bowling!!! (^ - ^)

Went bowling last Friday with a bunch of friends... supposed to be a lot more of them but alas!!! Guess it has always been so. It's so diff to gather in full force these days.

BTW, back to the bowling stuff.... first time I managed to score 80 plus. Okie.. I know I'm still very far from the 100th mark. Gosh!!! I really need to practice more. Had quite a great time seeing my ball rolling into the gutter... or missing a strike juz by one or two pins.

Had also had a fright when the girl next lane literally THREW the ball. Damn... almost thought I'll suffer from heart attack.

Been very health conscious these days. Juz bought myself a bottle of Omega 3-6-9 softgel pills. Heard from the sales girl that Omega 3 is good for the heart, while Omega 6 is more for balancing the hormones (and also better complexion), and Omega 9 is a mineral that can convert into Omega 3 when needed. Hmmm... very cheam.. dunno true a not. In any case, each slimy pill is abt 3 cm long (the biggest pill i ever swallow). Smells exactly like a raw fish extract... Yewwwwwww.... haiz. But I guess I just have to bear with it.

Heard that cranberry juice is great for minimising the risk of contracting involuntary loss of urinary control while red wine reduces the risk of ovarian cancer (damn... hate that taste... can barely even finish half a glass). Dunno true a not.. Will have to do a lot of research on these...

Thinking of taking up yoga... but im afraid I wont even get past the basics. Have it ever occur to you whether you should still do Yoga during your menses? Hmmm... i guess that will be extremely uncomfortable.

How come menses don't finish in just a day but spread over seven days? Why can't we have it in just one day so that we can stay at home and squat in the toilet rather than having to worry over a span of seven days on whether we stain our clothes? Damn... lucky guys.

Tale of the X-traction - 2 Wisdom Tooth (PART II)

Warning: Don't be lazy! Read PART I before continuing! It's supposed to be a tale and not a short story, so bear with it.

Beginning of the Sentence:
(WARNING: Graphical descriptions included! Proceed at your own risk - at worst you'll be gross out and abstain from food)

"Morning Shau Kiang! How's your day? Eaten?" quipped the doc.
I just nodded my head and waited for another 15 mins before proceeding into the "cell". Filled up some forms and lights on! Jabs in! For your information, I had 3 to 4 jabs per side (left & right - 2 wisdom tooth, remember?) and boy does it hurt that I had to squeeze my fists.

Minutes later... "Ok, I'll start with your right then I'll go with the left."
I was numbed.... whatever. My eyes were covered... guess it was simply too hard to swallow for anyone else to see except for the doc and his assistant.

Oh boy!!! Drilling starts... imagine sawing a piece of metal or stainless steel? Trust me, it 's at least 5 to 10x sharper... For as long as it was happening, I thought I was going deaf. Come to think of it, my ears don't feel quite right even now. The drilling seemed to be going on for eons. Just when i thought he was done, it came again.

Then you could feel the pulling of the teeth... the pressure... the soreness (had to bite a piece of rubber to keep my jaws open to its max)... Damn. I was traumatised!

Then came the stitching... Could feel the thread coming in and out of my mouth as it brushes the cheeks. EEEWWWWW... I think I can start to imagine what the clothes and cloth have to go through when people are sewing them together.

My left wisdom tooth was a lot more stubborn than my right... So now it's swelling on the left rather than the right. Boy... loop-sided dodo-looking puffer fish on the way!!! Whewwwwwwwwww!!!!

Op done. Doc asked me question. I answered. Felt like a baby. Can't even get a single noun right. I gave up.... My sign language was bad too. Anwayz, got 10 days of MC. Damn... I'm either gonna lose my job or my boss gonna kill me.

Got home... changed my gauze. Oh gee!!! Remember those old scary movies that have frankenstein stitched up with black wires? And those cross-sticth patterns you see on the streets? Gee!!!! My gums looked like that.

I struggled to pull my jaws open and gazed in awe.... and disgust. The doc had to cut open my gums, saw the teeth, pull back the gum (and cover it on top of other gum) and stitch it up with some other gum with black thread to keep it secured....

So can u imagine your gum (towards the cheeks)? You see bits and pieces of your flesh mingled or covered up with black thread and a dead knot? Boy oh boy... i do look like frankenstein.

Btw, did I mention that before I changed my gauze, I looked like a loop-sided puffer fish? Then after changing my gauze for the first time, I look like a comic character (la bi xiao xing) or even a monkey? And did I mention after my second change, I look like a witch (imagine an elderly with pouting lips). Boy oh boy... i didn't know I'm gd at that.

Want more graphical description? Next time! =)
Now that I''ve receieved my sentence and serving it, I got to get back in 2 weeks' time to remove my stitches... Dunno got probation not.

Come to think of it, Kinda regreted not keeping my detached teeth (or used to be until it got cut up). Could have taken a pix of them in their bloody state and post it for you all to c. Haiz.

Tale of the X-traction - 2 Wisdom Tooth (PART I)

Wednesday Night:
I was cowering under the blanket. Tossing and turning as I went through the various possibilities of the mental and physical torture I'll be going through the next day. The drilling! The jabs! The saliver! And of course, the sore that will stick with me for the next few weeks.

Thursday Early Morning:
Yikes! They got stuck! They wouldn't go! The imagery of the dentist using pliers to pull my teeth away from my gums stayed (had gone through this before when I pulled out four teeth so that I can put on my braces). Tried calming my nerves... watching Anime, Samurai Champloo (damn funny). But anyways, it didn't work.

Thursday Late Morning:
Heck the imageries. I had to leave for my "sentence" (either I go and extract or leave myself with the benefit of doubt on the possibility of having tooth decay) and was there to serve my notice within 15mins (from my house to Toa Payoh Central).

Gee.. Doc was late. I dashed for the toilet. Didn't I just emptied my bladders before I left home? Oh boy, was I nervous to that extend that I have to do it again. Not bad. The toilet was pretty clean.
