Jottings 9 June

Wait ah, my batteries are charging.  Ready in 100, 99, 98...

While Jo Ern is sleeping, some jottings about happenings to myself.

I finished my half-year assignment in the heart of KL and was sad to go.  Funny, coz I absolutely hated it at first.  Traffic was still awful.  But people there were friendly and helpful, traits not too common in my profession.  My two immediate neighbours noticed early on that I eat all the time and generously plied me with food.  So many attended my farewell lunch and 3 separate people wanted to buy me coffee that afternoon!

Had a run of bad luck.  Soon after hubby's disastrous casino outing (well, his money is also my money hehe), I came home one day to find the house flooded.  The water tank at the roof had overflowed, flooded the upper story and waterfalled its way to flood part of the lower story too.  Sigh.  Quite a lot of damage done considering the short time - veneers on various cupboards peeled off, soaked mattress and boxes in the storeroom, parquet tiles swelling and causing the floor to be uneven, water marks on the wallpaper and ceiling boards.  It isn't easy or would cost a lot to rectify these... leaving them alone for now.

Then I had a toothache which turned out to be due to a wisdom tooth embedded DEEP.  Just had it out yesterday and am nursing a swollen jaw right now.  I'm glad my brother told me about Ng Oral though - op took less than 20mins when my regular dentist had estimated over 2 hours (and warned that she might close up and refer me elsewhere if the tooth proved recalcitrant).  I did have to fork out RM1000 for this specialist vs RM800 for the normal dentist, but in this case it's worth the money!  The x-ray did show ANOTHER wisdom tooth which is likely to cause problems... think I'll wait a bit while me and my pocket recover!

On the bright side, I get 3 days of MC.  Heh.  Last night I was in some pain - good thing hubby helped to watch Jo Ern and I just played with bubbles, hit rats, shot zombies, fed frogs and whatnot on the Ipad.  That me-time was really nice!  Today my face is still swollen but the pain is less and I think the worst is over.  I am on a liquid diet - my maid was so amused to see me pureeing porridge for myself!  Well, pureeing food is something I am very used to doing by now.  :)
