a true story.. you wont wanna miss it!

once upon a friday, this 17 year old child had a dental checkup in school and so had all the other students in her class. she was slightly nervous coz she had a feeling that dentist might just get "lucky" and find something. she heard the dentist say to his assistant, "enam atau tujuh" she thought oh ok it might just be a rating from 1 to 10, 10 being the highest. six or seven wasnt that bad she thought. little did she know she wasnt as fortunate as she assumed to be. the assistant stopped her at the doorway and at the same time her heart felt like it had stopped with her. then she said the dreadful four letter word... "HOLE" well she didnt exactly say that but it was in her sentence. looks like it's a trip to the dentist for me sigh the girl.

on the way home in her mum's car, she decided to let her mummy dearest know. so the day of the appointment with the dentist was decided there and then... thinking the problem was solved, this naive child had a blast at her youth conference that day and the day after. she had so much fun that even on sunday the thought of her holey tooth or her appointment didnt cross her mind even once.

the rising sun marked the beginning of Monday... then it struck her... her tooth! oh well her mind told her... how bad could it get? laughing and joking around with her schoolmates, she hardly felt the anxiousness she had expected to feel.. till she reached her home. the seriousness of the appointment finally dawned on her. her mum being supportive and all assured her that there was nothing to be afraid of...

the dentist examined her teeth, unfortunately for her, with disappointed remarks. gone were those six or seven ratings.. they turned out to be the number of holes! imagine that! seven holes! this is the end she thought. this is the end for me! the dentist tried to calmed her down by saying that it could be fixed... then the sentence she hated the most in the whole wide world came out of his mouth.. "we might need to give her a jab here.." clamping her mouth in an instant she refused profusely.. sadly for her it was the only way to numb the pain she would feel during the drilling. reluctantly she agreed.

oh how i hate needles! however the pain of the injection wasnt too bad... the worst was yet to come.. now that the jab was done, it's down to serious business... the drilling... gosh! she thought this is bad! i'll never ever want to go to a dentist again! the eerie sound of the instrument doing its duty, the horrible smell of basically everything in the room, the numbness of the whole of her left side of her face and worse of all the choking on her saliva and whatever solution they use in the drilling was so overwhelming that she felt the need to cry out to the Big G who without a doubt she knew was watching the whole process.

it took the dentist one and a half hours to finish the filling of four holes.. by that time the poor girl's jaw was too sore that she couldnt even yawn without wincing in pain.. wiping her mouth with tissue, her mum and her were escorted out of the room.. biting on her tissue trying to feel her teeth grinding together to get rid of the numbness which engulfed the whole left half of her face, she looked down at it. to her horror she saw a blot of blood on the tissue... this is too much for me she thought. dont tell me now my teeth is bleeding?! oh goodness this enough to give me a heart attack.. well she didnt exactly thought it that was but she was freaked out at the sight of it. "dont worry la! it's just a small cut on your lip.. haiyoh like that also panic!" her mum said to her... "sorry lor!" she replied..

"so what day will it be?" the receptionist enquired. "oh next monday pls." so it was set.. her next torture session would be one week away.. hanging her head low as she stepped out of the clinic, she vowed that she would give her teeth the best care no one else in the universe could ever give. never again she said as she shook her head, never again will i step into that place after next monday. although it's entirely impossible for that to happen, she just had to console herself.

yes that silly, oh-so-bimbo (if you wanna put it that way), naive and utterly delicate girl is me =( i hate to admit it but all these happened just three hours ago. wahh!! i dont think i wanna eat dinner tonight.. sorry mummy but i have to for go your cooking today however nice/delicious it may be.. sigh.. go ahead laugh at me if you want to...

great even my left ear is numb... boy oh boy never again man!!! oh well... i think i typed too much details of this humiliating event already.. one day i'm gonna look back and shake my head in disdain..
