KL To Singapore...

Today's journey was familiar....

Familiar bus...

Familiar roads...

Familiar trees...

Familiar buildings...

The only thing missing was the familiar face beside me and the familiar hand to hold...

Come back quick...I miss YOU...

Teeth-ing Problems...

Ever since I was young, I've never been a fan of visiting the dentist. I remember that we had to have a dental check up every few months once in primary school and some of my friends would be called to stay back for refill of tooth or some other extraction thingy. Thank goodness I escaped all that.

My most recent visit to the dentist was maybe about two years ago for scaling of teeth. I remember the dentist asked me when was my last visit. I was a little embarassed to answer but told him that it was many years back. He obviously laughed and told me, "Girl, you should know that a dentist appointment should be made every 6 months once...not 6 years once, okay?" *shy grin*

Anyway, I made an appointment today with the dentist. A much reluctant one. I thought I had an ulser on Friday night, but apparently the pain was getting from bad to worse on Saturday and I even had a swell on my cheek. So its either a wisdom tooth growing or a very gross infection (which I refuse to believe it was).

After an X-ray and much poking around in my mouth, the dentist confirmed that it was infact a wisdom tooth and I had to extract it cause it was growing in a weird angle and might cause infection and just be a huge nuisance to me. So I had it remove. Super scary experience for me since I've not been through anything like that since primary school. I was trying so hard to act adult and not let that child in me out. And no...I didn't cry.

I'm home now bitting on gauze which is damn bloody gross, like literally. The numbness is wearing off and I can slowly feel the pain creeping in. Sigh~

Do you think I'm any wiser?

By the way, I get to keep my wisdom tooth. Anyone wanna see it?

Konichiwa~

Greetings from Japan. I'm in Tokyo now. Super tired. Went to visit a temple in Asakusa and spent the rest of the day shopping. I almost had a headache trying to pack my bag just now.

Actually, I can't wait to get home. It seems like I've been away for months. At least it feels that way.

Japan has lots of cool stuff. I never fail to be amazed by the innovative stuff they sell here. And the packaging always seems perfect. So cool...no need to wrap presents. Hehe...

The only thing I missed out this trip is the salmon, sashimi, sushi and YOU. Sigh~

Note to YOU: I realise I haven't been leaving notes for you on my bloggie anymore. I miss YOU.

Can I Buy Your Time?

I'm back late from work. Staying up to do some tidying and laundry. Tomorrow I've got lots to do. Gotta pack for trip on early Tuesday morning, appointment in the afternoon, small chit chat with Mandy when I come back, go get Nic from office and have a nice dinner before I sleep early for the following day's work. I don't feel like I've got enough time. Can I buy yours? Sigh~

This reminds me of a story I heard from YOU.

About the little boy who asked his daddy why he had to work all the time. The daddy told him in a grouchy manner, that he worked so hard all the time to provide better living conditions for the family. Then one day, the little boy asked his daddy how much he earned in a day, and asked him for the exact same amount to spend. His daddy got so angry and scolded him for being ungrateful for what he already had and shame on him to ask for more. When asked what he wanted with that amount of money, the little boy answered him, "So I can buy your time and spend a day with you".

I'm not very good at story-telling. I know. I think I should just go to bed now and think of ways to buy time....

ZZZzzzz~

Need Umbrella?

I was browsing through some photos this afternoon and I found this. Long lost photo I took last year when I was back in KL. It was raining heavily and I looked out at the porch to find my mom's laundry decorated with umbrellas.


My home awning has got holes. I never knew umbrellas could be used this way. Amazing.
