My wisdom tooth extraction
I shouldn't be blogging at this hour, especially on a Wednesday afternoon. But I'm on MC, that's why.. haha...
Today is the 2nd day of my wisdom tooth extraction.. feeling less painful but left cheek a bit swollen.
Yesterday I went to Sembawang dental to have my wisdom tooth taken out. Initially I thought of doing both sides. However, the dental advised that it's better to do one side at a time and boy, I was glad I did only one side...
The injection was a bit painful and after a while, I felt numbness at my left cheek.. The x-ray showed that my wisdom tooth was lying horizontally 90 degrees to the tooth in front, which means it will need some drilling and some tough plucking in order to remove...
The extraction began and I could hear drilling noises. I felt quite a bit of pressure as the dental struggled to take out my stubborn wisdom tooth. Piler (look-alike) was used and a nurse was required to hold my head... Getting a male dental was the right choice since a lot of strength was required!
After about half an hour, my wisdom tooth was finally removed, in bits and pieces.... Forgot to take a photo before they were dumped... but a bit gross also..The whole extraction was painless and I needed to bite a piece of cotton to stop the bleeding..
I thought it was quite ok but I was wrong.. After 2 hours or so, the pain started to kick in.. It was so PAINFUL!! My left side was throbbing with pain... I needed to take painkiller... Makes me wonder how come I felt more painful without my wisdom tooth......Luckily OP was around to take care of me for the whole day, making sure I eat my medicine and have my porridge =)
Well, now I'm resting at home and eating porridge.. hee... In june, it'll be OP's turn already! haha...

The Honesty Shop
Just read from newspaper that there is a shop in Taiwan that operates purely on trust and honesty.
There is no one in the shop, just sweets, tidbits and cookies etc. You just take what you need and pay by dropping the required amount into the designated money box. The lady boss said that there is also no camera in operation and so even if you steal, no one will know. However, the lady boss mentioned that she wants to cultivate people from young the importance of honesty.
I still remembered in my primary school or secondary school (couldn't remember :P), we also practised this Honesty Shop. I think the items are newspapers and also, you would drop the coins into the box and no one else is tending the newspaper booth.
Well, I couldn't remember how successful the shop is but at least it's a good try..... =) Mmm, do you think it will work in Singapore??
