Alright...enough of Korean moments for me. My love affair with Korean guy is over. Over. Yes..can't be an idiot getting myself madly in love with him as I have to make use of my precious time to start doing my Uni assignments. Something which I had been neglecting since I fell in love with my Korean boyfriend. Day and night, I spent my time with him. He was my everything.
I need to put in effort to begin my assignments from today onwards. To my Korean boyfriend, I will be back in your arms this December when I complete this sem's exams. I promise.
Saranghaeyo, Opa ! Ki da ryo ju se yo ! 사랑해 , 기다려 주세요
Just joined a friendship site @ "match.com" online. Searching for my "Romantic Korean Amour" ....haha..dreaming la. Just for the fun of it, I wanted to widen my circle of friends. Ann is no damsel in distress. And not intending to find my soul mate from there. Don't believe in that kind of virtual match making job...don't trust at all. Saja for the fun of it....and see how famous could I be......hahahaha
Gotten influenced by the few Korean dramas that I had been following the past one week.
Smitten by his clean shaven look with his fully gelled combed back hair. Looking at his face gives me sweet dreams...lo. hahahaha ini betul-betul dreaming. However in real life, his look is horrible. See the comparison below.
Perhaps, I prefer matured men...the executive look.
Hair style plays an important role in giving tell-tales about one's personality. Agree..?
Eyes are equally important for first impression. They are men's secret weapon. One saucy stare from across the floor and surely would send the lady shivered and melt. Exaggerating..am I?
His lips..well...women like to be kissed. Therefore, a soft full lips is important to perform that job. Nothing is more encouraging that a sexy hot lips planted a smacking kiss on her awaiting lips.
Lips to lips for a kiss..
Found my amour ...not yet..but he'll comes to me in my dreams. However...my expectations are pretty high...I've set it that way. Starred onto the mirror...and I could see a strong confident woman in front of me. A determinated woman of substance.
Hey....what am I blogging today...? All seems like rojak...Must be one of my bad blogging days..bear with me......
Back to school after a 10 days break......doing nothing except indulging in time wasting activities like watching DVDs, blogging...eating, sleeping ....! Knowingly I should be making use of those 10 solid days to start my uni assignments but I DIDN'T. Look how lazy I am....! Sigh...the laziness which I need to scrap off from my soul..! Born in the year of the pig..laziness is inborn in me.
Meanwhile..just found photos of the evil lady in "All about Eve" Korean drama...Kim So-yeon. She's pretty isn't she ?
In this picture, her overly sexy gown...wow..she has to be extremely careful not to flip aside the two miserable pieces of cloth from her chest. Wonder..how she handles that? And in Malaysia, what would the reactions of people, if Ann is to wear such costume for a dinner function? Surely, attracts strings of admirers and onlookers... towards my flat chest. haha.
A friend asked, "How bout silicone?" My answer "A big NO NO ..that's out of the question. As a matter of fact, I don't fancy protruding chest". I prefer my amour to love me as I am..and not by my chest.
Sigh...the 10 days Raya break is almost over. Mine over already. Although today is Sunday (the final day of the lonnnnnnnnnng break...but I am atending my uni first tutorial for Sept. Sem. Sigh..! It's quite a drag...to return to my study momentum after more than a month breaksince August 18th. In fact, my assignments questions are out already..but just too lazy to start anything.....
Haha..still floating in my Korean sentimental mood.
Are the Korean men romantic like they show in their movies? Mmmmm, maybe yes..maybe not. No doubt, they're charming due to their height and body physic.
The guys in All about Eve were so caring over their girlfriends. Just a phone call, the guy will turn up at her doorsteps within minutes. Wipe away her tears when she's down. Took care of her in sickness. Sent her lunch box when she's hungry. Offering her a shoulder to cry on. He seems to know what she wants without her telling him. "Telepathy"..the transfer of information on thoughts and feelings between two individuals by means other than the five senses... ! The guy seems to have the ability to sense the thoughts of his lady. The lovers has this special connections telephatically....connecting their thoughts even though they're not physically connected.
Same wavelength maybe. In reality, how can this happen ? Perhaps with good communications, the couple could share their thoughts. Sit down over a cup of coffee..honestly express your feelings and compassionately listen to one another. Isn't this better than telepathy...?
Nowadays in such a hectic rat race life, how many couples do sit down and talk....share thoughts and feelings ? Time..lack of it..or simply an excuse..!
What say you ? Romance in a couple is self effort to make it work.
Had been faithfully watching a Korean drama the past few nights. Don't know why, gotten glued to this series. Was it due to the story line or the actors ?
Jang Dong Gun and Han Jae Suk, two goodlooking Korean actors...both of them looked manly unlike the guys in Winter Sonata and Stairway to Heaven. I first took notice of Han Jae Suk in Glass Slippers, and he acted pretty well as an executive whom involved in a love triangle with two sisters. However, in 이브의 모든것, he portrayed a goodhearted guy who fallen madly in love with an evil gal and sacrifices willingly including his life for her.
However, for Jang Dong Gun, this is the first time I see him. WOW....he's such a handsome fella, a cool looking guy esp when his hair are all gelled up with his forehead exposed. Clean shaved, tidy clean look....Ann's fav. Fantasy..fantasy..in all her dream world of Mills & Boons.
In this story, Jang Dong Gun is such a kind lover ....so romantic...but I doubt in the real world such character does exist. Where got such a patience boyfriend....! Some more, he's a rich man's only son, director of a huge broadcasting company and falling in love with one of his staff. ....where can happen in real life ? Two different class.. His portrayal as a down to earth character...only emerge in fictitious story like in this drama called All about Eve / 이브의 모든것 / Ibeuui Modeun Geot
The other two protagonists are portrayed in total opposite. One is so goody-two shoes played by Chae Rim and the other such an evil (Kim So Yeon). Though, she's such a evil but she's damn pretty which make the viewers like her. As usual, these two characters fought and compete among each other over everything..career, boyfriends, positions..ect. Betul-betul like "Cinderella" story minus the wicked stepmother.
Jang Dong Gun and Han Jae Suk, who played the role of Yoon Hyong-cheol and Kim Woo Jin. respectively. Yoon Hyong-cheol, a rich executive director of MBS who feel deeply for one of his newscaster Jin Sun-mi. However this lady has set her eyes on her childhood buddy (Kim Woo Jin). On the other hand, Kim Woo Jin only treats her like a younger sister as his love interest is Huh Young-mi. A pretty complicated relationship..linked among the foursome. Ya...the Korean names may sounds full rolling tongues....and hard to remember. Therefore, enclosed close-up shots of the four main casts for easy recognition....
Chae Rim as the sweet lady Jin Sun-mi
Kim So-Yeon as pretty faced evil Huh Young-mi
Jang Dong Gun as handsome director Yoon Hyong-cheol
Han Jae Suk as cameraman Kim Woo Jin
Who ended with whom and ....... you find out yourself. Share your responses with me here in my blog.
In reality, I wonder if such men do exist...who are willing to sacrifice everything for the women they loved. Sigh....hoping to meet such a person....and lived happily ever after. THE END.
All about Eve is a 20 episods romance thriller Korean drama which was released 8 years ago. I came to know about it's existence recently by accident. I loved the lead actresses and actors. Equally beautiful and handsome. Tried to watch online but gotten pretty frustrated with the too many interuptions and poor quality. Will tried to get the DVD but I doubt it would be easily found coz this is considered an old drama released in 2000.
Believe me..the songs featured in this movie are fantastic.
A segment in the late Yasmin Ahmad's "Sepet". A conversation between Harith Iskandar and Ida Nerina who teamed up as husband and wife. Harith : I won't be able to understand women even if I lived to a hundred. Ida : You don't have to understand us, your job is to love us.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Meaningful statement...isn't it ? Men always said that it's hard to understand a woman. Men are from Mars, Women from Venus..... and things like that. Two different genders..so complex, so complicated...yet they need each other in order to survive.
Ya..it's right. Even with good communications between both..and yet misunderstandings occurs all the time. Therefore, I guess...men needn't have to understand your lady wholly but simply adore hers, love her and care for her. Be more romantic and caring.
Hey..must have been watching too much of the lovey dovey Korean dramas lately. Great influence....that's why began to think so mushy-mushy like the Koreans.
What do you call a person who keeps on talking when people are no longer interested?
A teacher ~~~~~~~~
I was totally impressed by the statement above. WHAT...are teachers such a talkative lot in the eyes of the public ? Some even stereotype teachers as the calculative kind. Haha... to many traders, they're scared to deal with customers whom are teachers. Teachers are said to be a fussy customers..hard to please...haha. True ah ?
Let me share one incident during my many out-station trips to several places in the Peninsular ....like Pulau Langkawi, Pulau Pangkor, Alor Setar, KL, Kota Bharu...attending professionalism courses during my 16 years in the service. The participants comprise of teachers from various schools all over Penang. In between the course, the teachers are normally given half a day off to perform their ritual routine "shopping and sight-seeing". As usual, one can see the teachers ventured out in groups to indulge in their fav activity.."SHOPPING".
These teachers would roamed wildly at the many outlets in town. Langkawi~ definitely chocolates are the main target...meanwhile Pangkor..of course are the salted fish , anchovies..and Kota Bharu...the best grabs are the keropok (prawn/fish cracker), batik.
I noticed the teachers are talented lot...including yours truly~la. We're are good at bargaining. We are capable of bringing down the price to 40-60% of the stated price. Our tongues wagged to get a cheaper price. The shop assistants aren't as good as us...and usually gave in after our sweet persuasions.
Teachers are the greatest shoppers....aren't we..? Do you still find ur boring and expect us to keep our mouth shut ?
I went up north this morning. "Jalan-jalan shopping shopping." In order to keep this post anonymously unknown..I shall abide to not mentioning names.
I stopped at a fastfood outlet for a quickie snack. Our tummies were growling. Empty stomach since morning.
As it was way past lunch time, the restaurant was pretty empty.
Good morning, ma am...having here or take away..?, heard a monotonous tone like a pre-recorded voice greeting me.
We only wanted a light meal to ease the hunger span as we planned to savour other goodies along the way..hawker's delights !
I scanned thru the menu in front of me. Confused of what to eat...felt some dizziness due to low sugar level in the body (hungry..la). It was stated that one could have an order of 6, 9 or 12 pieces of nuggets.
I asked for a half dozen.
'Sorry ma am....we don't have half dozen nuggets,' replied the teenage waitress at the counter.
'Huh...you don't ?' I enquired.
'Yes..ma am. We only have six, nine, or twelve,' she said.
'You mean I can order six pieces but cannot have half a dozen?" I asked again.
'Yes..ma am', she quipped
'Hmm, in that case, give me six', I placed my order ...thinking hard.
Today...I was feeling "extremely lazy" and I can't figured out the reason..! Perhaps I was and am having a 10 days Raya break. Staying home doing nothing...wasting all my precious time. I should be making use of this 'time' to start searching for materials for my uni assignments. But I am simply feeling LAZY.
I woke up rather late this morn and was not up to cooking at all. Eating out...sick of 'take away" food. Too much msg...haha. No matter what, I still need something to eat, so is my boy. Brunch..a simple brunch...what ya ?
Wanting something special and and yet easy to prepare...no mess in the kitchen. I checked the contains in my fridge...what do I have in there ? Mmm...balls..fish, sotong,prawns..a half a container, fish @ bawal putih, medium sized prawns, minced meat, chicken breast, a piece of taukua, inoki mushrooms. Some baby corns and leafy vege @ lettuce...All these were purchased from the wet market last Saturday...and some of it were left overs from previous weeks.
All these ingredients in small quantity...not enough to cook any special dishes....but just nice for Yes...yes....STEAMBOAT.
Easy...just boil a pot of water, add in a piece of Maggi chicken cube and when the water comes to a boil...dump everything into it. No need much preparation. Just cut the raw materials into bite size....easy...!
Noticed the finely chopped garlic and red chilly with some added lime juice soaked in soya sauce...that created a kicked to the seafood. Dipped the food into the sauce and place in your mouth..it create a sensation onto your tongue.
Not bad after all, Ann's steamboat taste better than the 'cut throat' one in Cameron Highlands. All in, the ingredients cost not more than RM30. But enough for 3 big eaters. Simple but delicious. At the end of the meal, can even have free flow of Cintan noodle. Break an egg into the soup and soak the noodle into the soup....sweet soup minus the msg. Original sweetness from the seafood.
We enjoyed the meal tremendously....! Later this evening, I could add in some tom yam paste and have a Thai style steamboat. I still have some left overs ..... It's my refrigerator stock clearance day....
Only took a few snapshots coz my hands were dirty and as I said..I was lazy and have no intention to blog about it anyway. It's just a simple meal.
No..nothing's going end..it's just the first verse of a song. I discovered this song accidentally while looking for some Buddhist hymns on the net. I first found Chyi Yu's songs and that led me to her soothe number "You can't say". I got attracted to her soprano voice and she delivered this piece whole heatedly. The tune, it's melody and also it's lyrics are a thumb-up. I further found out that Kenny Rogers is the original singer of this song and he too delivered this piece fantastically.
After much surfing, I discovered that this song is a theme of a popular Korean drama released in somewhere in year 2000. It's a 20 episodes entitled "All about Eve". This Korean version song is sung by Mina (a Korean singer).
I still don't have the time to watch this sequel as I'm busy with my new semester now. But I'm sure to watch it during my sem break in December. Read the synopsis and it sounds interesting as I always liken romance drama. It's about the love hatred feud between two women. And mind you..the two actors in this movie are great looking...that's the main attraction and main reason for me to watch it.
Ever since I found this theme song, I had been listening to it over and again the entire day. The English and Korean version are equally good. I loved the tune. Believe me..you'll never get bored, listening to the melodious tune makes one relax. And if you listen carefully to it's lyrics..it's meaningful.
You can`t dream, dashihanbon naegyote momulrochwoyo / ttasulhan kudaeye kioksogeso kudaechorom usumjil su itdorok
Haha...I know you're unable to understand Korean, just like me but simply loved the lovey dovey cryeee dramas a lot... Here's the English version sung by Kenny Rogers.
You can say all things must end You can smile and even pretend And you can turn and walk away so easily But you can’t say you don’t love me anymore
You can dream of what might have been You can cry for what won’t pass again And you can say there’s every reason you should leave But you can’t say you don’t love me anymore
You can say I’m right, you’re wrong You can make your plans To find somebody else But I can’t believe you can carry on We know what should be said But you can’t find the words instead
You say all things must end You can smile and even pretend And you can turn and say You’re leaving me for good But you can’t say you don’t love me anymore Just say you don’t love me anymore
Therefore, it's important to have these three aspects of life.... MONEY, TIME and ENERGY. Perhaps, a well balanced one. Not too much neither do too little. Just enough to sustain happiness.
Many people used to think that they had no time, no money and certainly no energy to realise their dreams. And at the end of the day, they gave up half way. Foolish...foolish, isn't it ? It is amazing what you can do with what you have, as long as you have a bit of determinations and the will power to overcome the obstacles and achieve the aim. Make your dreams becomes reality.
My boss just announced that Friday is a holiday for my school. That means we have an additional day off apart from the week long break for raya. However, in the month of October, we'll have 'packed like sardine' programmes being planned for Saturdays. And by then, my Sundays are preoccupied with my Uni tutorials. So it's like back to routine..work and study..tutorials, assignments & exams till mid Dec. Phew.....7-days week. Looks like the Indon maids are far luckier...at least they've a day off and poor me...????
It doesn't make any difference to me whether Friday is a working day or otherwise. As a minority staff in my school, I've got to follow the majority votes. Cuti pun cuti~lah. Can take a short break of "Cuti-Cuti Malaysia".
Roughly ..calculating in my mind...I had been in this profession for sixteen years. No a long duration to 'trumpet' about but it quite a long time to stay in one job. Over the years, had been working far too hard and more often burning out like a damaged candle burnt from both ends.
It's understandable that teachers had high fatal cases of chronic diseases like heart ailments, blood pressure and diabetics compares to other profession.
I had since started to slow down by "work smart, be effective, take care of my responsibilities while in school and also return home at a decent hour. Enjoy time with my family and set aside time to relax and rejuvenate. I had learnt to let loose and avoid classroom problems from affecting my emotional and wellbeing and also built the ability to enjoy life away from school. The additional challenge of mental anguish faced in school is often filtered and settled at the school premises before I start my car to go home.
Nevertheless, I am committed to my job. I am not being a lazy teacher who rarely enters class...I make sure my responsibilities towards my charges are well taken care off. My pupils are still the priority even though I tried not to let it get in the way with my life.
I've drawn a prominent line between school and home.
My motto.... "Make real effort to be happy as my pupils need a joyful teacher everyday!"
Everyone in my school is on the holiday mood, celebration mood..Raya mood coz we're going to Njoy a whole week away from school...YEAHHHHHHHH
From the headmistress, senior assistants, teachers and students..there's sign of happiness. Merry making. The muslim are ordering cookies and new baju kurung to usher their new year this Sunday(depending the sighting of the cresent moon to confirm the day).
Yours truly is also looking forward to the long week break. Hope I'm disciplined enough to stay home to start off my assignments so that I needn't have to rush tat the last minute. When school reopens and the month of October would be a hectic time in school for me. So it's advisable for me to start doing my assignments earlier.
In between doing my assignments, I hope to do some shopping and makan-ing. "All days work and no play, makes Ann a dull woman". Therefore, gotta enjoy a lil bit.
Any suggestions for a short day trip around Malaysia which doesn't create a huge hole on my purse ?
Women have strengths that amaze men. They bear hardships and they carry burdens, but they hold happiness, love and joy.
They smile when they want to scream. They sing when they want to cry. They cry when they are happy and laugh when they are nervous. They fight for what they believe in. They stand up to injustice.
They don't take "no" for an answer when they believe there is a better solution.
They go without so their family can have. They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.
They love unconditionally. They cry when their children excel and cheer when their friends get awards.
They are happy when they hear about a birth or a wedding. Their hearts break when a friend dies. They grieve at the loss of a family member, yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left. They know that a hug and a kiss can heal a broken heart.
Women come in all shapes, sizes and colours..
They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you to show how much they care about you.
The heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning.
They bring joy, hope and love. They have compassion and ideas. They give moral support to their family and friends.
Women have vital things to say and everything to give.
HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN, IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.
Hardly feel any pain since this morning. No pain means no toothless. I've got the chance to keep my tooth. My root canal treatment is progressing well, I supposed.
Ann's assumption The problem tooth is gradually recovering. The nerves had died (I guess) and finally that molar is now a dead tooth. The pain had diminished. I didn't feel pain since this morning. If I continue to feel like this, then it's a good sign. Next week, will opt for a thorough x-ray to determine the inner part of my tooth. The dentist will do the final touching and then measure my molar to shape a crown for it. In the next couple of weeks, I should be able to have my crown fixed. Hopefully it's a success. My last resort - extraction. Am hoping to keep my ori tooth.
This will be my last post about my molar till I get back to the dentist next week.
Tooth problem (2009) Having sensitivity sensation on my front right molar for a couple of months. Suspected some kind of cavity on it. Surprisingly, just had my dental check-up quite recently @ 25 May 09. Then on 24 August, I had a refilling to my molar by my regular dentist. With this filling, the sensitivity still persist but reduced. I thought it may gone off after awhile.
In spite of my regular visits to the dentist, I still get toothache. Just found out that over-frequent dental scaling weakens the tooth structures. In some cases, it may fractured the tooth surface.
As a result of the scaling procedures (twice to three times a year), my partially handicapped molar got the 'kick'. It weaken and I could feel the sensitivity sensation whenever it gets in contact with cold/hot substances. My instinct tells me that this tooth is bout to spell trouble.
Toothache (July-September 2009) My molar began to give me problem. I could feel the pain on periodic moments. However...I thought there's no urgency as the pain was very mild. However, during my recent stay at Cameron, the cool weather gave me a final blow. The pain was excruciating ! Felt like dying...at one time. The last straw, I told myself, "Am definitely gonna get rid of this problematic tooth..SOON !" The pain spreads up to my head.
At this stage, I was still unaware of root-canal technology. Thought that rotten tooth must be extract.
Seek 2nd Opinion on my toothache problem (08-09-09) Had one filling of amalgam just two weeks ago (24-08-09) by my regular dentist. The pain on my molar became worst. Therefore, I decided to seek a second opinion from another dentist. This dentist gave me another new filling but he would apply certain solution to reduce the infection and swelling inside. He advised me to give it a try b4 I decide on extraction.
The dentist introduced me to root canal treatment. He explained briefly by showing me pictures.
Night after filling (08-09-09) The pain persisted...and it was excruciating at night after the anaesthetic wore off. TERRIBLE...could hardly sleep or do anything. There was slight swelling around the area which looked red and the tooth itself was sensitive to touch and painful all the time without touch.
So I made up my mind to visit the dentist the very next day.
Root Canal Treatment Day (Thursday 09-09-09) During the treatment, the dentist drilled a deep hole on my problem molar. Felt only mild pain coz he injected anaesthetic earlier that numbed my nerves around that area. Then he inserted a sharp needle like apparatus continuously into my gum. He twisted the needle as if like he was performing acupuncture on my tooth. The entire procedure took approx. 40 minutes. He cleaned out the entire canal of my molar. The pain was mild as I was under the influenced of anaesthetic.
Prescription of Painkiller The dentist warned me that when the current anaesthetic spell gone off,the pain would return. Therefore, I was asked to take Ibuprofen and paracetamol. And also a course of antibiotics to cure inflammation.
Night after root canal treatment (09-09-09) The pain was UNBEARABLE. I could not sleep throughout the night it was so bad and nothing seemed to help me. I looked into my mouth and noticed my gums had swollen even more and this was actually more visible after the molar tooth he treated -the swelling was actually far greater. Even my face and jaw are slightly swollen and painful .
Day 2 -Thursday (10-09-09) The pain was under controlled, perhaps by the medications that I took religiously. The antibiotics did created a havoc to my stomach as I'm a gastric prone person. Had light meals in between each time, I felt gassy inside. My tummy was bloated due to the medicines.
The pain killer seemed to give temporary relief as the pain was reduced from the severe level to just about bearable pain. But after middle of the night, I was in agony again and the swelling was just the same and my whole right side jaw painful and slight swelling to face. I carried on with the antibiotics and painkillers throughout the night. I guessed this must be the after effect of the root canal treatment and nothing got to do with my problematic molar.
Day 3 -Friday (11-09-09) The pain is moderate and just about bearable but there is no sign of the swelling had reduced. It's now 3 rd day of antibiotics and 3 days since having the root canal treatment. The pain had reduced which shows a good sign. That means my tooth is accepting the root canal treatment. The swelling too subsided.
Day 4 -Saturday (12-09-09) The pain and swelling subsided. Good sign....my tooth could tolerate the treatment.
Will keep you updated with my "Molar details". Am currently doing my own research on Endodontic therapy.
The past days, I had been hitting my toothache hard with anti-inflammatory to keep the pain at bay. However, it is not the tooth that is hurting...but my poor liver. Painkiller for toothache works wonder but murdering my liver. It's 'win-loose' situation. Dilemma !
Paracetamol and Ibuprofen ease the pain on my tooth but on the other hand the dosage might damage my liver. Here no pain but there got pain. Dilemma... If I don't consume the pain killer, I'm unable to go to school cause it hurts whenever I open my mouth to speak. The pain intensifies a hundred times when the cavity is exposed to the air. Or when it gain in contact with my tongue or food or just ab anything.
Like this also die, like that also die ...apamacam..! Regretted for taking those 'jewels' in mouth forgranted all these years....lesson learnt. Therfore, proper oral hygiene is vital.
Feeling 'sick' the entire time. My toothache continues to bug me though the pain volume reduced. Had religiously swallowed antibiotics and painkiller prescribed by my dentist. These pills do actually ease the pain. On the other hand, I was getting pretty concerned with my poor liver and kidney whom had to work double hard to 'shed' the excess chemical from getting into my blood. Hopefully I'm ruining my vital organs.
Nevertheless...this intermittent aching on my gum is still bearable.
My next appointment for my root canal treatment would be 23 Sept. This time around, I was expected to undergo an X ray. This is to allow the dentist to have a clearer picture of my inner gum which cannot be view from outside.
Although this entire procedure will cost me a bomb @RM1200 ++, but think it's worth as I got to save my lil tooth which would last me another quarter century..perhaps. Hopefully I could still chew sugarcanes at 70 !
Am experiencing terrible toothache lately. The pain begins from my right molar as it spreads to my cheek, ear up to my head. The pain come and go just like one is having contractions! When the pain occurs, everything else take second place. Can't do anything except the bugging pain.
Thought it was a temporary occurrences due to the sudden change of weather, my recent holiday trip, lack of sleep or hormone imbalance. Tried to bear with the pain for a a few days. However...the pain was getting from bad to worst. I can't sleep a wink, can't concentrate on my work, can't teach, can't do just about anything. Unable to eat well. Life was hay wired !
Finally dragged myself to my regular dentist. He administered dental restoration to my molar. The pain went off..what a relieved ! Hours later, it came back. This time, it was even more painful. Tormented by the pain... Decided to wait for a day or two, thought that it takes a lil time for the new amalgam to get settled on my molar. So bear with the discomfort.
But the pain persisted. The pain was excruciating and growing. Decided to seek another dentist recommended by my colleague. The dentist could only diagnose my problem from the surface. He's unsure about the seriousness of my problem. He gave me three options. One - perform a temporary refilling and applied some anti inflammatory to my teeth. Two- opt for root canal treatment and third- extract the tooth @ last option.
I opted for the first...(wanted to salvage my precious molar). The dentist gave me anaesthetics to reduce my pain. After two jabs, I felt my entire mouth, lips and tongue numbed all over. The he started to drill into my molar and carefully placed filling into my tooth. I felt nothing at all as I was under the influenced of anaesthetic.
The dentist warned me....if the pain returns, then I need to perform root canal treatment. True enough, the pain came back at night. It was excruciating. I could do anything except lying down on the bed.
True to my words...the pain reoccured and this time around..more pain ! This means the filling method doesn't work !
Went back to the dentist the following day. 2 options left. Root canal or extract. With the former, I could still keep my original tooth. The latter would made me lost my tooth forever. Root canal procedure was rather pricey RM1200-1500 per tooth which includes treatment, X-ray and crowning. The best part, I could keep my tooth. The duration for the entire course is about 2 months. I need to get back to the dentist for a few more procedures.
I opted to try for root canal procedure. Money wasn't really an issue when it comes to keeping my tooth. It scarry to become a toothless human before touching 40.
Undergone the first root canal therapy. Gosh it was really painful when the dentist inserted needle like acupuncture procedures continuously into my gum. This is the root canal file which is to remove the pulp from the root canal. I grabbed the dentist's arm on several occasion as it was dready painful. Even worst than childbirth...
I’ll probably have my 2nd a root-canal treatment in 2 weeks. I hope the tooth is dead soon so that I need not have to undergo another acupuncture procedure. Hope there won't be too sore and speedy recovery.
Hmmm, am thinking what should I do at 9.09 pm later on such auspicious day of 09-09-09. Everyone is making such a big fuss over this unique date so let me join in the fun. Haven't figure out what special activity for myself. Let me think...
Making love through out the night. Just came acrossed an article "Making love whole night". Quote
"Love making is the most magnificent celestial experience. While making love, we forget about our past and feel absolutely no worries of our future; everything freezes to time and we live in the very moment."
Suits my criteria of making 9.09 pm on 09-09-09 a memorable occasion. Freeze the time...
How to clap with one hand. Takes two to tango. So how to indulge in such activity alone. Need a partner...
Alas..think I'll just catch hold of the remote controller and switch on the TV. Watching TV..a significant act of making love with my television set.
Short vacation to Cameron Highlands over the weekends @ 2 days 1 night. Simply loved the cool weather which is very much differ from those in Penang. Enjoyed the scenic hilly view... breathtaking. Plants everywhere....cactus with flowers, huge roses of various colours, other kinds of flowers (don't know names), and not forgetting the mascot of Cameron @ STRAWBERRY. Got the first hand chance to handpick our own strawberries right from the plant itself in the farm. Truly an experience for my son. He enjoyed harvesting his own fruit. transforming into a temporary farmer....! Yours truly ate almost 3kg of strawberry. It such juicy when eaten fresh unlike those sold on the supermart shelves in Pg.
Vege..fresh and crunchy. Tomatoes,broccoli, Choy Sam, ....etc. Had a piping hot charcoal steamboat dinner full of vege. Minus the seafood..miserable pieces of chicken meat and prawns. Crab is substitute with crabmeat balls, no squid but sotong balls, no pork but meatballs.....however the delicious fresh vegetables make it worth. A variety of them.... Hopefully no pesticides which I doubt. Steamboat at one of the chinese restaurant in Brinchang @ RM20 per head.
A visit to the tea plantation...spectacular view of the hilly terrain. The greens of vaious shades...! A sip of the freshly brew tea on a cool weather with the background view of the tea plants....spells "Amazing".
Let the picture tells it's tales.
Rows of fresh vegetables plants.. minus the pesticides..
Great strawberries...lovely
Unique lime species...got nice aroma when standing near the tree.
This phrase was quoted numerous times in TVB Burning Flame iii. Though I had finished watching this serial a couple of weeks ago but this quote still lingers in my mind.
Out of difficulties make miracles
True, very true. Whenever one was facing trouble in life, we struggled to survive and at the end of the day, we heaped the fruit of our labour. We overcome the hardship and accomplish them..... If we managed to get through the trouble times then that's a miracle.
A decade ago, undergoing the hardship of life when I was thrown into singledom and had to bring up my child all by myself. I swam thru the hardship of storms in the middle of the roughing ocean.....battling tsunami. Managed to stay afloat despite the overpowering giant waves.
This quote "Out of difficulties grow miracle" fits perfectly for me. It's a total miracle that I managed to crawl out from the "difficult period'... by putting the broken jigsaw of life together and fix them. It's a miracle....Ann's miracle. I love this quote "Out of difficulties spell miracle"
I don't wanna blog about the past as I always turn my back to the black N white of history. I look forward to my colourful future.
Am going for a short holiday to Cameron Highlands....journey starts in the wee hour of the morning @ 4am ! Need to catch some sleep now. Good night world.
