Maybe you had it. Maybe you have not had it yet.
Maybe your siblings had it. Maybe it’s already long past and gone.
I’m talking about… WISDOM TOOTH!

I still remember my dentist’s parting words to me when I just graduated from braces.
He said, “I understand that it’s a happy thing that your braces are done but just to
let you know, you are growing wisdom tooth. Do come back to me kays. ”

I was there thinking… why am I the unlucky one to get wisdom tooth growth after braces?
Removed 4 teeth for braces and now 4 more? Tsk.
Years later… Here we are…

Removed 2/3 wisdom tooth in 2010 and now 2013, the last one is acting up and affecting 2 other teeth.
Solution? Use butt think also know le right? Remove lohs. >_<
And so I’m back to swelling like a pig.

UGLY PHOTOS AHEAD!
DONT SAY I DIDNT WARN YOU!
PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK! HAHAS!

Day One…
Tooth hurts so I went for a filling.
But it turned out to be a wisdom tooth removal.
Since the anaesthesia was already injected, might as well extract it already…

After knowing it was more than just a filling, Bear actually came down from work.
Told him not to because if he is not around, I will and can only be strong ma.
After all not first time already though it doesn’t make it less painful…

But I guess he also got worried when Mom didn’t pick up the phone…
Anyways told him to bus over since I had to go eat some food with half my mouth numb. >_<
After which, to wait for my turn for extraction again.

A few hours after being back from clinic.
Had to ice the affected area for at least 6 rounds of 10mins ice, 10mins rest, 10mins ice.
After the anaesthesia wore off, had to resort to icing it all the way.

Hurts bad even with the fast painkiller. Or maybe it’s a psychological thing. Hahas.
And it feels good to have someone by my side though most of the time I’m just sleeping.
Was worried about Bear’s work. Good thing he returned home for his MacBook first so he could work at my house!

While cabbing home the cab driver asked him if something happened cause he looked worried hahas.
Silly Bear! *pinches Bear cheeks*
And Mom fussed over me when she saw me though she sounded totally chill over the phone lols.

And so the whole you-can-only-eat-baby-food week begins… 

Day Two…

Day 2 is where the swelling is the worse. See?
Cant even lift my cheek much.
Had to go back to clinic for a check, just to be safe that thread sewn is in place.

No excessive bleeding all that stuff. Bleeding yes, excessive no.
Dentist said my cheek looks way bigger though still within normal range.
Then he looked at my other (normal sized) cheek and said hmmm.

I remembered you were slimmer last time. But since your cheeks were chubby to begin…
The swell can be discounted a little.
T_T

Cheeks or rather mouth feels rather full and hard to stretch…
Tried to brush where I can and used mouthwash for the rest.
Especially the affected area.

Day Three…

Swell a little smaller.
Still hurts but can stretch mouth a little more.
Pain was a little extra cause I had cut gums and a tip of tongue ulcer zzz.

Just when I needed my tongue to guide my food around for swallowing.
OUCH. Might have bit on it when my mouth was numb…

Day Four…

Still swollen but swell slowly decreasing.
Bruising has started. See the newly showing blue black?
Hurts quite a bit. When I try to massage it a little it hurts so much I feel nausea.

Day Five…

Full blown blue black. Also shows signs of yellowing.
They say yellowing means the blue black is recovering…

Day Six…

Blue black remains at the most painful spots. Other areas fading off.
Yellow is so ugly and obvious even after make up it still shows, though less obvious.
Can stretch mouth much more already. Slowly daring to brush close to affected area…

Day Seven…

Blue black hurts when pressed. Other than that, stretching ability is 85%-90% restored.
Can eat more foods like mee sua and rice in soup.
I missed having rice hahas. I'm a rice girl.

Today is the tenth day as I sit here blogging this down.
Through all of this, have to thank family and Bear for being there.
Friends for asking after and keeping up with my recovery progress hahas.

I am still a little hesitant to take in solid foods now but at least I can go out now!
Staying at home all week long has been a great bore for me. Hahas.
Missed going out with more sights and things to see see look look!

Upon recovery… fun was what we had when we went out!

Graduating from Quarantine!


Sneaking out to amenities  nearby my house before returning home to chill!
Can left my cheek is still a little swollen but wells…
There’s only so long you can trap Raine at home!

Going out to Plaza Sing for Daiso!
Yes I know Tampines has but I just wanted to take a long bus ride hahas!
Why not since I have free Bear warmer right hahas!

And somebody’s so tickled that I’m carrying a backpack hahas.
Calling me, treating me, seeing me, as a baby lols.
You know who you are!

We work together, I get ready at lightning speed and he waits patiently!
Though it’s only been awhile but so far so good.
He’s dotingly patient and I’m efficient hahas!

Oh and don’t we both look like we had eyeliner drawn on our bottom eyelids?
No we didn’t! Just to clarify hee!

His first purple shirt! Got this couple tee for him, for us!
Don’t we look uber nice in it? Hahas!
#feelingohsoyoung


This feels like first love all over again lols.
We felt like so we did and visited the arcade!
Don’t remember the last time I’ve been here!

Yea man! House of the dead! With so many zombie movies nowadays…
Time for some good old zombie killing action for us!
Thanks to Bear for helping me take the photos!

Though should show how pro I am rather than showing I need to reload? LOLS!
Nonetheless, I had much fun and excitement! 

Kill kill kill kill! hahas.

MarioKart at Bear’s request! Hahas!

See the excited Bear? Hahas!
