What a Sunday!

Yesterday while chewing my food during my dinner, suddenly I felt there was a stoney thing in my mouth and it irritated me. I admit that I am a fast eater and I swallow fast too...guess what the stoney thing went through my throat and landed in my stomach within just seconds...I am just too fast! I really had no idea what was that thingy! Well, since it is already ended up in my stomach, who cares...this fellow should be out from my body tomorrow if "he" could survive his tour in my stomach...haha.

After dinner, I sat in front of my laptop continued with my unfinish work...and out of sudden, another stoney thing in my mouth. It was so hard as I was trying to bite it...Oh no, when I took that thingy out of my mouth, I realized that it wasn't the normal stone...it was the filing from one of my tooth...oh no! The stoney thingy that ended up in my stomach must be from the same tooth.

And I could feel a real big hole for one of the upper tooth! No, no, no! Oh no, nightmare for me that I have to visit dentist! I hate the feeling of sitting on the dentist chair watching him holding his tools...and even worse the drilling sound...eeee...so eeeery. But I could also recall my last appointment with another dentist who was the one did the filing for this tooth. He said "I am trying to save this tooth, but its condition is not so good already. If this "guy" really turn worst later then we have no choice but to extract it. But for the mean time you could still have him."

Then I was telling myself that I need to visit the nearest dentist the earliest possible on the next day, which is today. Here I am at this clinic near my house, I noticed the doctor is also a surgeon. And I had this feeling that I am going to loose this "guy".

I got myself registered, called in and sat on the dentist chair. "Your tooth is badly infected, and you can't do filing anymore but to extract it." See! I knew it! And the surgeon said: "But this extraction is not a normal extraction as your tooth is way beneath the gum. I have to do a surgery to extract this." What? Surgery? And I started imagining the cutter slicing my gum! Oh no!

But the doctor assured me that I won't have any pain during the surgery. What to do, I have no other option and I said "OK lah". Guess what the doctor told me next..."By the way this is not a normal extraction and it is slightly costly, the charges is RM150 for the surgery." mmm...smart doctor, he must have afraid that I will argue about the price after the surgery. If I refuse to pay and he can't UNDO the surgery...hehe...Whatever he said I agreed as I need to solve this.

And before he starts with the surgery, he ask me to sign a letter that state he will not be liable for any...that arise from the surgery. Cool! Go ahead!

The following 20 minutes were the battling between the surgeon with my infected tooth...the surgeon must have hard time pulling this "guy" out...I could hear some loud funny cracking sound. The doctor must have afraid that I will get fainted halfway hearing the sound, he told me "Don't worry with the noise, everything is fine." mmmm, very comforting! I wasn't scared but just wish this over soon.

Finally the surgeon won the battle and the "patient" survived too! Hehe, otherwise you won't be reading this blog now...:-) I got a few stitches....A FEW STITCHES??? This never happen to me, first time that I received stiches of any kind and I need to return to the clinic to remove the stitches...what a good experience. :-) I brought home big bags of medicine, you name it...painkiller, antibiotic, swollen pil, mouthrinse and cotton.

The surgeon said you cannot go to sleep now, you have to sit straight and bite the cotton for at least 2 hours. Haha, I am not worry of this! I am going to shopping mall after this, looking for a few items for my club's event! So I will have no chance to sleep! What a hyperactive "patient"...haha.

I never expect this on this lovely Sunday. But somehow it has made a memorable Sunday! :-) And now I can't talk properly, so I better shut up!

Moving on...

It was such a great day I had today! Ever since I have chosen to follow my heart to embark on what I am passionate about, I feel really good about it! I had the similar feeling many years back when I was still involved in training and other public training for my previous company.

But as I moved on with my career in other areas, I wasn't having the same feeling! It was kind of weird that it was actually sucking away all my energy! Previously I was really an energetic person, I seems to have lotsa adrenalin to take what is in front of me. And I was always cheerful...smile is indeed my hallmark wherever I go...but I lost it somehow all those throughout these years!

Where did all these traits gone? I don't know...but I just could not regain that no matter how hard I tried. Well, I battled for quite a while and at the end I have decided to make a crazy turn in my life.

Haha, I don't know. Some might think that I might be crazy on such a decision and some said during such a bad time?...especially when the petrol price is high, the cost of living is shooting up, the economy is still uncertain, and US is having a slump! But I thought it is just the right time for me to move on. So I chose to move on fully into training! To me I believe we need to just move on once we have made that decision, why wait?

But I do have a bunch of friends who said "Yes, you should! Good for you!" Well, it is all in the mind, it is all depend on how we look at things :-)

I could foresee the journey is going to be very exciting! And I am ready to experience the process :-) for me the process matter the most...no matter how you will still get to an end result. If we enjoy and render our best during the process, I am sure we have just done a seat confirmation for success...

And obviously, I am gaining back my energy and cheerfulness! Yeah!!!

Wow! That is lovely!

Something wonderful to share...

My mother only received her primary six education some ages ago. She totally could not understand English and we her 3 lovely daughters use to have this funny idea...why not teach our mother English. Of course something conversational would be just fine.

Nothing formal happen in the house but English is one of the medium that her daughters communicate at home. Guess what! Without us realizing it my mother actually pick up a little of Queen's language.

Out of sudden today she was telling me this in English...stay cool..."You take the paper outside." That is lovely! I could not imagine how could this happen. That was a great moment that put all of us at home into big laughter, a real big one that make us rolling!

This proved that not only the young toddler has active listening, elderly group too! And my mother could actually understand some of my tele-conversation with my friends. It is a big wow! I don't know how she picked that but what I know it is through observation and listening.

This has created some light moments in my family! There will be more to come as my mother and her 3 daughters are just simply like good friends...you know how good friends talk right... :-)

I told her to continue learning English and be daring in speaking...who knows I might accidentally have a caucasian fiance then communication will not be an issue. :-p We both burst into laughter!!!
