Wisdom tooth extraction experience

I had my wisdom tooth finally pulled out. This was the one that grows on my upper right innermost part of my mouth. And since there is not much space for this new tooth, it grows 90° sideways towards my cheek. During its growth, I don't feel much pain but I did noticed it when I feel a bit awkward opening my mouth wide and there is something touching on my cheek - on that area. When I check on it, there I found the new tooth, going out. It was partially out that time so I just ignore it.

At last, the tooth is finally out. The form is the same as the normal ones but it is sideways. There, I am feeling a pinch of pain whenever I open my mouth. And I feel more pain in my jaw and it also affects my right ear. Sometimes, I can hear some clacking when I talk. So I said, that's it. I have to see a dentist.

Wednesday, I decided to go for a consultation to a clinic. Sadly, this clinic doesn't have a dentist. My bad, I should have gone to a dental clinic. Anyway, they prescribed me painkillers to ease the pain.

On that Saturday, I went to the dental clinic near our place. The dentist was kind of furious on why I didn't report it so soon. He honestly said that it is difficult to remove and may need to perform surgery costing around $500-$800. Uh oh, goodbye money... T_T but I scheduled an appointment on that Monday.

Returning home, I was preparing stuffs like food to me to eat after the extraction when my roommate noticed on what I am doing. I told her my plan of extraction and the whole story about it. Later did I realized that she is a nurse and working on a dental clinic-hospital. She recommended to proceed directly to their clinic. She also share some stories of complaints from patients of some private clinics regarding not so good extractions done to them.

So I went to their clinic - its C61 Dental Clinic at Khoo Teck Puat Hospital by the way - around Monday morning and was attended professionally. It was there I found out that it is indeed difficult to remove but good thing it is now fully out. I have also found out that my gums are not that healthy and recommended to undergo a regular check up. I will plan to do that after the extraction. The tooth was pulled out and everything's went well, it doesn't need a surgery. Was I afraid? Yes, I was kinda afraid because I saw the tools! I just closed my eyes during the whole process! Haha! And the best part, everything including the x-ray only costs $93!!!

It's a very good thing I was informed about C61 clinic or else, goodbye $500. And also, it feels so amazing now that I have this tooth pulled out. I have that tooth on-hand. Shall I keep it? Hahaha!

I am just so happy. :)

My make up mentor

I am not a make up artist nor an expert in this field. I just learned my make up skills through this mentor I had – Michelle Phan. I found her while surfing on the net – YouTube to be exact. One day after submitting my home exam to our professor via email, I was just browsing and browsing on the net. There was nothing to search in particular. Then I browsed on YouTube and found her video. This video is entitled “Seductive Vampire”. I was so fascinated with her step by step tutorial and it was amazing. From then on, I followed her channel and watched all the videos on it everytime I find time. And now I am following her updates and new video posts for more tutorials. I even copied one of her make up styles during one of our events in church. Thanks to her because I can now put on make up well on my face and also be able to do on others. I can now even try on other styles on my own. Her video tutorials are very great. P.S. I am not her friend nor has any personal relationship with he...

Divorce is allowed?!?

Hi guys, need help here. I am browsing on the net and found an interesting topic about divorce and remarry. One thing that ruins my innocent mind is this: God Allows an Exception to the General Rule When One's Spouse Has Been Guilty of Fornication. This exception is clearly stated in Matthew 19:9 (and 5:32).   "Whosoever shall put away his wife, except for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery" ("saving for the cause of fornication" - Matt. 5:32).   The question originally asked Jesus concerned the grounds or cause for which a man may divorce his wife (v3). In v9 Jesus clearly says there is no acceptable cause except if ones companion has been guilty of fornication.   Unlike the Mosaic Law, which Jesus admits tolerated divorce and remarriage for other causes, Jesus' teaching allows one and only one cause.   Note that the only one who is granted the right to divorce and remarry without being guilty of sin is the one who has been sinned...

Monthly Ouch!!!

This topic may sound too 'Eww' for this blog but as of now, I am experiencing the most severe menstrual cramps of all my life – leg pain! From the very first day of my first mens years ago, I usually have menstrual cramps and it is back pain. It is almost every month and sometimes accompanied by headache and fatigue. But now, actually since last month, my cramp goes down to my legs plus headache! I sometimes cannot walk normally because of this and I easily gets tired than ever! My boyfriend sometimes gets irritated because I always find ways to have take seat while we are hanging out. I did some research through my best friend Google and read a lot articles about menstrual cramps on leg pain and most of its symptoms match with my experience. And the two main cause of it are DEHYDRATION and LACK OF IRON in the body. Oh well I guess it is now clear to me why I am experiencing these cramps every month. From now on, I will carefully watch my diet, making sure I have enough iron...
