First Random Thought
The first random thought I had today was to start this webblog. Even I was amazed myself. Its 6:00 AM in the morning and i just sat down in front of the computer after brushing my teeth. While I was brushing the top layer of my gums, finishing up, all I was thinking about was: I am brushing my teeth, why aren’t they whiter? I shall start a blog!! And then here I am, registering online as a wordpress member.
For you readers information, I have started 1 blog before, but I stopped rather soon because it slowly spiralled downwards into a depressive tone. Who in the world would want to read such stuff? I have put off the thought of starting a event log online for 1 year. Now that I have finally succumbed to randomness, I shall make it an effort to prevent it from happening again. Period.
Last night, my friend, who is a 3rd year dental student, Ylang (I’ll try to put people’s names as nicknames to prevent people from google-ing, something i often do), advised me on my tooth situation. Well, one of my greatest regret in life is not taking care of my teeth. I didn’t use to brush regularly until I went to JC, and I was quite unfortunate to skip primary school dental appointments because i switched schools from Keming to Rulang Primary in Primary 2. They must have screwed up the paper work. So all the way from Primary 1, when I was seven, till some time this year in April, I have not even went for a dental appointment! I’m almost 21 now, so thats 14 years. I’m not fearful of the dentist and his menacing array of drills, but the thought of the fees I have to pay for a check up put me off the most.
Back to the present: I have a dead tooth pulp which needs to be extracted and replaced with an implant (the better solution) – $2000. I’m feeling a burning sensation at my butt, near the back pocket. Retribution from my teeth.
But hey, I guess at least this solves a tooth problem which has gone back at least 7 years.
