Bye Bye Molar Tooth

-

The molar tooth that had given me countless visits to the dentist since my NS days finally given way last night. Surprisingly, I didn’t feel any pain when the tooth gave way. Perhaps it was due to the good fillings done up by the dentist who attended to me 4 years ago.

I decided to take half day leave to see the dentist to see what he says about the condition. The dentist told me what I had predicted. My molar tooth had lost its crown and have to be extracted. I asked for more time to consider for this operation as I am not in pain at the moment.

The reasons why I am taking some time to think about this is because:-

  1. I am not worried about the cost of the extraction. I am more concerned about the cost of the implants / bridges to cover up the hole.
  2. My teeth are already quite big and my mum is of the view that removing the molar without implanting a new implant would give my teeth more space, since it’s a molar at the back of the mouth.
  3. My busy work schedule has also been a concern as due to the fact that we have been shorthanded and there is no space in the office to accommodate an additional headcount, my boss has decided not to hire any tax staff for the time being. This also explains why I am shelving my holiday plans. It has been quite a while since I really went beyond Malaysia already. The fortunate thing is that my boss has been understanding and appreciative of what I am doing and have been rewarding me accordingly. This is the motivation that keeps me going.=)

Good for you! I've been suffering from pain from my molar for a week now. :( Anyway, don't be worried about the cost of extraction cause it will all be worth it in the end. :)

Dinner @ Bacchus @ Dempsey

I joined the Facebook Foodies Club for dinner at Bacchus last night. Yesterday was with a smaller group of people with 11 people. It meant that I had a chance to interact with people and enjoy good food at the same time. I certainly had a good time knowing Deborah, Rene, Wenna, Chris & Catherine. The good part was having my singing buddy, Jonathan around as well, making me able to enjoy the dinner and making friends with relative ease. I must say I enjoyed the food, that I ordered. I ordered the Flumuken,Bawhrust susages and tiramisu cake. You must be thinking that why I ordered so much food. I must say I was very hungry as I didn’t have a filling lunch. Although, it burned a hole in my pocket, but it is certainly good to indulge in myself sometimes! I like the ambience of the restuarant. After the dinner, we indulged ourselves in some German wine before we were asked to pose for photos. After that, we adjourned to Harry’s Bar for a drink and chat session. Jonathan was so afraid

My Hosting Script for The National Day Event

-
I just managed to work out the draft hosting script for the National Day Event I am hosting. I am thankful for all the comments that I have received from my fellow RC members and friends. Just feel that sometimes, no matter whatever you do, some people, no matter for what reasons, will not be happy with the arrangements. I just wish to say that I am already trying my best to try to get this event going, considering the fact, that this is the 1st time I am organising an RC event. I have also tried my best, despite the fact that I would like to have a free hand to organise the event, just like what I usually do for the KTV events I have on Facebook, I accommodated to the requests that I should somehow follow the past years’ format to do the event. I know that I am not very familiar with how things are run at the RC, therefore in the end, my organising committee only made some changes to the event as we had a limited budget to work on. I even volunteered myself to do the hosting for the

June Musings

 It has been a while since I last blogged. Since then, I am settling well into my role, although there were some incomings and outgoings, which are common in any workplace.   I managed to catch a last glimpse of Yishun Orto before it closed on 30 June. I would like Leonard, Wendy & Michael, as without them performing at the Happiest Hour Bar & Bistro, I guess I would never go to this place, as I had not so fond memories of a nearby place during my NS days.   I did not manage to get A* Mei or Jacky Cheung concert tickets this round. It could be a sign for me to build up my savings again after an unstable 3 years on the job front. I hope to stay on this job for a while despite its lack of transport amenities and lack of shelters for rain as it is not often that you can have great teams of colleagues and bosses with whom you can get along well. I guess having a boss who is differently abled helps me to settle in well as colleagues tend to be more understanding and caring.
