My wisdom tooth...all gone in a day

Yesterday at 9.10am, I reported at ward 1, level 1, Alexandra Hospital to extract my 5 teeth. I was there alone, or rather Jesus is by my side. Although reporting time was 9.30am, I'm afraid that I'd miss the bus so I left home at 8.45am instead.

I was asked to enter a room with the bed which I will sleep on later after my surgery. It was weird, but I was not afraid, cause I've been speaking in tongue for the past few days. I was rather nervous though 2-3 days before the surgery.

After I have changed, I asked the nurse, so what should I do now, so she said,"On the TV and watch lah!" Yah hoh, why didn't I think of that.....Hehe.... So I switched and it was Jimmy neutron, my favorite cartoon. I am not alone. I was enjoying it and giggling to myself. Soon, the nurse came in and said it was time to go to the surgery room, so I followed her. There was another boy whom he was accompanied by his elder brother. I over heard that he was 3 years younger then me, because he recited his I/C number so loud. "84XXXXXX" Going to army soon..haha....ok I was kaypo~ But he was talking rather loud as well okay?!

We arrived at the surgery waiting room, and once again all these nurses started asking us the same thing 3 times, just for double comfirmation, my name, my I/C number, is it my signature, and how many teeth I taking out, I said 5. The boy is extracting out 3 only. Good for him!! Why 5 for me you may ask, 4 wisdom and 1 normal molar all extracted to make space for my upcoming braces...hehe...can't wait for that as well. In maybe 2 yrs time, or about a year as said by Dr Cheng, I will have a nice set of teeth already. So happy! I'm gonna be more BE U TI FUL!!

After checking and re-checking, I was called to enter the surgery room. I was calm and still able to joke. They asked me to lie down on the surgery bed, and I saw them strapping me up. I can still ask:" Is it you scared I struggle?" They answered:" No! The bed is too small, you might fall, if you are not strapped" Soon, they gave me the jab, and the "oxygen mask" given. In less then 5sec, I was in deep sleep.

I was awoken by 2 people who keep shouting my name, I heard a man and a woman calling my name so loudly. I somehow came to and somehow complaining. So noisy, I was sleeping okay?! The lady asked me how was I? I told her you woke me up from my dream, I cannot remember what dream, but all I could recall was seeing a house, that's it! My lips were dry, and I could not feel my lower lips, they seemed swollen to me, 'cause I cannot feel them. I keep asking the nurse if my lips look like sasuage? She sais NO. But it felt like sasuage to me. Oh well, whatever. I coughed abit and felt like grasping for breathe once again, like I was out of breath. I panicked and grabbed a nurse hand, but I could not see, 'cause I didn't open my eyes. But I was well, after spitting out the phlegm and all. And my nose was bleeding due to the tube being pushed down my nostrail to my throat to let me breathe. That was disgusting but I pulled through. Dr Sylvia Tan came over and patted my head and said:"Don't be miserable." I still asked her who? I guess I was still gorgy.

Soon I was pushed out to my bedroom downstair, It was kinda shiok to be pushed while lying on bed...A few ah nehs stared at me, but who cares, I was enjoying the ride. Haha...

This nurse called Cynthia, she was very patience and friendly. From her accent, I could tell that she's from hongkong, married here to a businessman husband, and they have a kid, didn't asked what sex la. But I was kaypo enough to dig out so much. Heehee~ She helped me wiped away the dry blood stain on my lips with ice cold water and also fed me apple juice. It's the sweetest apple juice I ever drank..Why? Because it's free and people feed you what?? Of cause sweet la!

It was 1plus and Charles Larling going to come pick me up ard 3plus. So while waiting, I slept awhile. He just so sweet compared to FB, cause he had taken half day leave to just come and send me home. Now the I realise that I have so many caring friends around me, so FB was nothing, and I shall forget him and move on.

Charles came and as I was too tired to get up, I slept again till 5 plus.For him? I think he just sat there and watch me go to sleep. Once again the nurse came in and check on me, but I was just too lazy to get up, can't you just let me sleep? What's the problem? Ok..Ok so you wanted me to discharge and go home sleep right? So I did.

Charles bought whip potato for me from anchorge point KFC, that was my first meal, since I fasted last night. Then Charles bought me my favourite Napolean ice cream, cause the nurse advise that I should eat ice cream for 3 days to stop the swell. So Charles larling bought me the whole tub, then we took a cab home. Once again, he's so sweet, but he's only a best friend and a brother to me.

These are the 5 gross looking teeth from my tiny mouth. It may look like 6, because one of them has chipped. I want them to be in memory here, because in a few days time, they will start to decay. For now, it has already started to stink in the container. Bye bye...tooth~ I'd miss you.... You will always in my mind!!! ALL of you~

Trust

Will you forgive someone who break your trust? In Christianity, we should forgive our neighbours and pray for them instead when they have deeply hurt us, back-stabbed us, or almost killed us. But most of the time in the human world, there's no such things as "forgive"! You try to be funny? I give you back 10 times! How much you have hurt me, I make sure that you get it all back plus extra extra... a 100 times. These are just said when one is angry, pissed, agitated and totally gave up.

I have totally given up. Oh Lord can you just help me take it all away? You have sent me answers whom I ignored. I have seen the wall that you've shown me and yet i still drive on and almost banged into the wall. I will forgive him, but I just want him to leave me alone, and that my heart will not be shaken if he asked again.

The lies and reasons that multiply like a badminton have left me lose faith in him again. I chose to forgive him and to reagain the trust and yet, it seems that he's still hiding the truth. I do not need anyone like that! Nor does he deserve. He's not generous nor caring, excuses that he's busy with work, and lies and more lies that piled up. What's with work, and that he don't even have time to spend with me for a short lunch or dinner? More excuses... where have all the good man gone? Are they all dead? Or they don't exsist at all? Are these trials? I thank you Lord, for letting me learn. I have to let go of this, I have to and I'm going for my piano lesson soon..to keep myself occupied. Friends when you are free, ask me out ok? Love you all~

Thank You Daddy~ God

I just felt so blessed this week, as blessings are overflowing. Not that only this week la, it happens everyday, if you realises it, as HE is always there for me.

My desire of a particular job has somehow being answered, as my contract is due on Oct 1st. At first, I really do not know what I want, cause most of the time I do not know what I want in life. All things that I wanted are just too material, well most or ALL does.

Ok, ok, back to my story... I have actually sent in my CV online for this particular prestigeous company while I was away in Las Vegas. When I think, why not, just give it a try, as they do not have recruitment in Singapore as yet. But when I got back to Singapore, (thursday, 4th may), my colleague told me that there is a walk-in interview this sat. I was like wow...so fast? Have ah??? Okok...I will go. But time is insufficient, I have only a day to prepare my CV, a passport size photo, and a full length photo. After chatting with my colleague, we have decided to try it out together. And while chatting, my Hp rang, and guess what? It's a call from New Creation Church--Laugh MInistry...wow..... They finally called me after 3 long months. (since I sent in my application online in feb), anyway, I was thinking...all must be GOD's perfect timing. I was thrilled. And guess what they have a casting also on sat!!! Thank YOu Lord, for making my day full.

On friday (5th may), I was in Millenium walk, as I have to help my Da jie get something, and i happen to pass by a make over photo shop, so I stopped and asked them how much they are charging fora set of passport size and a full length picture. And guess how much she quoted me? $148... Kao~ Hello...sista, you thought I look like cai tao (white carrot) is it? although I'm in a hurry to get those pictures doesn't means any fool will spend that kinda money toget the pics in 30mins( well kinda reasonable time.) But hey.... I ain't no tai tai ok? So I said I will decide and I have another appt with my Huiling at Orchard. I was asking my friends where can I jus get the instant ones? CHeaper ma... heehee... So I finally found one in Taka next to the POSB. $6 only for 4 passport size photo, somemore can take fun shots, cheap...cheap.....
I had a splendid evening with Huiling that night, and we did someting meaningful as well, we have contributed some paper lotus for the targeted 2 million paper lotus that had to be put up outside Taka. We found it intresting, so we sat down at the booth and started learning how to fold the paper lotus. And we met the master, or rather teacher that teaches all this people the craft of folding the paper lotus. And he's Japanese, we exchanged abit of the laungage, until I paused and became alittle pai seh(embarrased) when I don't undersrand what he had said, and nodded my head. ( That's what I have been or rather most of my colleagues are doing at work, don't understand also nodd la, just get it over and done with..haha....) The senseh was very nice, he knew that I have to go for an interview the next day, he told me to fold 1 last paper lotus and pray at the same time to get the job) He's really so nice, but I prayed for him instead, for him to be healthy always...as GOD is blessing me already....
Then Alfred helped me with my resume( must say here, cos he sacrificed his sleeping time to help me edit my poor english and helped printed my CV till 2am, den we went for prata...yum)


Sat (6th may), I went to the interview, and I got in. Least as I expected.... Thank you Lord, Thank You...I have not got the job yet, just a step nearer to it, cause I have to go thru 2 more interviews, the 2nd one with 4 rounds, so if I can survive that, most likely I'm going Dubai! Woo....
And I went to the casting in Mckenzie Road and it was fun, I tried the JIn Ja swee aunty role and the Ah lian whom have become a leader--caregrp leader role. It was hilarious!! But I enjoyed myself indeed...Thank You Lord for all ur overflowing blessings...In Jesus Name...Amen!!! And also for all the frens whom are there to support me, Erica and Simon~ THanks~
