wisdom


arrgghh..... had a lousy sleep last nite... attacked of the wisdom tooth... i so lost the battle.....
and so, i reached National Dental Centre (NDC)... like most places, there's a health screening..... gave me a sticker and a mask.... during the registration, the staff informed me that if I do not have a referal letter from a polyclinic, my case will be treated as private. meaning there will not be any subsidy when comes to payment..... i was lost, in pain but hah! the polyclinic's just in the next building.. tamade...
then went through all the health screening, now, under the "have you been to any hospitals in the past 2 weeks" i have to put there, yes... NDC... a minute ago..... waited, paid up, saw the doctor, and i just told her i needed a referal, and she did it in seconds..... so head back off to NDC... waited.. but not long..... but it's quite scary in there..... normally, when u visit a doctor in a outpatient clinic, the consultation rooms are always rooms..... but here... it's like a mass orgy..... only in cubicles.. so went thru the checkup, some Xrays (quite fun), and damn! the X-ray turned out very nice..... sheesh, i just wish i could bring that home... then i was told, my left molar is dead... and has to be extracted..... and together, the dentist will also extract the wisdom tooth..... since the molar is just right infront of the wisdom tooth, there's no need for a major operation.. just while we were waiting for the LA to set in... i still can sms dee.. hehe... and then.........................................

well, nothing unbearable... actually, the most boring part is after the extraction...... it's so uncomfortable..... from the wearing out of the LA... to the bleeding, to the no mood to eat..... to the ... aiyah, it's just troublesome la..... somemore tonight suppose to have Thai food with dee's family..... ended up paying for everyone but only got to eat some mushrooms and a few spoonful of rice..... and guess who foot the bill..... but i'm totally cool with it... score points mah... haha
