discomfort

lately i have developed gingivitis around my wisdom tooth area. so literally i cant speak or eat well. my head's a rack. the swelling of the gums has caused dub-dub into my head.

it hurts so much that i cant think as much as i speak. so cant blog. there now. perfect excuse.
yup. back to the hurting bit. gosh maybe breaking up cant be compared to this constant pricking pain! did i mention that the back of my throat, the gums area has swell way beyond the molars, total obscurity. geesh.....

i was quite worried about this recent development (in half a day), that i went to surf online for information about swollen gums. Here's wat i found.

Common Causes of swollen gums.

1. Infection by a virus or fungus (oh dear...maybe i haven been brushing too regularly...haha lost days and nights over work)
2. Gingivitis (yes have mentioned it before...i have swollen gums)
3. Poorly fitting dentures (nope i dun have)
4. Sensitivity to toothpaste or mouthwash (i dun think that is the cause)
5. Side effect of a drug such as Dilantin or phenobarbital (def no-no, never even hear of them before)
6. Malnutrition (really? hmmm ....constant instant noodles will cause gingivitis?)
7. Scurvy (Vitamin C deficiency) ( hmm...pause again. i think i ate an orange a day back.)
8. Pregnancy (1st or 2nd trimester) (u must be kidding. im a nun over here!)

ritey. im gg to brush my pearlies again for the 2nd time today. and i just woke up like 3 hours ago. going to brush the gums down!!!

more photos

dear all, i have runned out of creative juices as to describe my feelings or inner thots or about today's weather. so here...some photos to recaptivate this morning's feelings.

although i did scold a silly goose that yellow roses means 'breaking up'. i think that silly goose was quite shock. hahah...well it wasn't named silly for nothing.

brunch

cet après-midi

looking thru the nutrition table on my cereal box. the front cover wrote:
Original.
Crisp whole wheat flakes, rolled oats, triticale, plump juicy sultanas, chewy apricot pieces & just a hint of honey. (in fine print under Original on the boxcover)

just wat is a triticale? i wondered. my god, i dun even know what im putting into my mouth. For all those out there who are just as ignorant as me.

triticale(n)
a hybrid produced by crossing wheat, Triticum aestivum, and rye, Secale cereale.

The word itself is a fusion of the Latin words triticum ("wheat") and secale ("rye"). When crossing wheat and rye, wheat is used as the female parent and rye as the male. Because the resulting hybrids are sterile, they have to be treated with the alkaloid colchicine to make them fertile.

To put it simply. it's a MAN MADE wheat.

rite. now we all know. and see the description of my cereal? just a hint of honey... so it's hinting to us that there's some sugar added. so that equates to carbo which translates to fat if it's not being burnt in the body. so im happily eating future fats into my body as im blogging. hey a girl has to eat.

vendredi en septembre

yet another semaine has past.

today while i was walking back from my grocery, i overhead a lady saying, "spring is in the air!"
i think she must be very excited or happy. it's true, the weather has ceased becoming unbearably cold to almost warm. down the streets, the sun shines thru, the aussies mostly clad in tees or camisoles. although there are a few occasions where i spotted a few souls still trotting in their winter boots. sigh... i have seen 2 winters in melbourne aredi. how time flies. i wonder did i ever take a break to see how beautiful melbourne was and is, or did i spend these past 1.5, almost 2 years complaining over the mountainous work and pressure that i put onto myself. typical singaporean. complain and complain. and the weirdest thing, deep inside a sense of pride glow, a smugness growing becos they rather seen as hardworking then to be seen working efficiently and leaving on the dot. somebardy should really change the mind system of typical singaporeans! MON DIEU!

yes, i fall under that 'weird' category. i would rather die then to let my boss see me leave the office on the dot!

the BOSS would think " this girl ah, why did i hire her in the first place? so eager to leave and not OT??"
OR " aiyoh this girl...i haven leave the office, and she is leaving now!"
OR " alamak... the rest are still working / slogging their asses for me! and she has the cheek to leave now!?!?"

my safest bet would be to leave after the boss! right im digressing. back to melbourne and my long list of complaints...maybe i should set up a complaint dept. im sure it has business everyday from urs truly!

a wise friend once correctly put ' just think of it as a long holiday.' gee. now why didnt i put that blardee tot into my grey matter? well i guess it seems EASY to keep reminding oneself that it's a holiday if these scenarios werent exactly happening as im stuck down here...
when the BOYFRIEND is like at the other end of the world, my CANINE who cant rem me is having a swell time in sunny isle together with my family, my best buddies are all having a chilled beer after work ;earning their bucks while im still eating on my instant noodles, my best friend is my 17 inch screen and sidekick shuttle.

see. im so happy.
