I'm Old now...

"When a person gets older, there are a lot of things that they need to take care of with thier own body." (Old people, forever).

Well, we all know that. I mean I've known that for a long time. Heard it from a lot of people, as well as from myself towards my parents. I've always thought that I'm still a teenager, an ever young person since I'm not even 20yo yet before this Dec 16th. I became careless, reckless and ignorant.

Guess what, I found out I'm getting older now and there are a lot of things that I need to take care of with my own body.

First of all, I'm now a nocturnal. I cannot fall asleep before 5am. I'm still struggling with that.
Second of all, the skin on my fingers dry very easily, which is why I need to apply Rosken Skin Repair quite often or else it will crack and bleed.
Third of all, I'm now struggling to keep all my teeth intact. I'm having gum infection, filled up one of my tooth but according to my new dentist, it's not filled properly. I thought I could count on the government dentist but haih~ what a headache. Now I've developed a new cavity on my other side of teeth, the same molar tooth that got cavity on the other side that got filled up.

Today, I had the ache of my life! I couldn't eat nor speak. I even had a severe headache. Was dizzy a bit and then hot hot a bit then back to dizzy a bit. Jia Jun suggested me to go get Sensodyne but it's even more expensive than Colgate. Well, I should give it a shot. Then I thought I could probably just visit the dentist at Kota Samarahan. (Klinik Pergigian Mesra) but it turned out not mesra (friendly) at all because it was closed until further notice due to renovation. Then, I couldn't stand the pain and cried. Jia Jun then suggested to go to the dentist that I was supposed to visit during my study week when I was at home but I couldn't risk my dad looking for the place because I know that I'd probably be scolded in the car and the cost of the treatment would freak him out and it'll be announced every now and then about the fee until the end of my life.

So, the dental clinic that we went to was at 3rd Mile, next to The Bath Shop, above Klinik Khaira. It was called Dr. Aw Jong Dental Surgery. I went there without appointment but I called up first. The people there are friendly and there were a lot of customers too. I mean one coming after another, not in the sense of crowded. I guess he's a pretty good dentist. My cousing Siew Phing and aunt Suzie's friend reckoned this dentist to Ah Ping. But anyway, I told him my problems and the first thing he said, "you must have visited your dentist ages ago." My teeth was covered with plaque as well as stones. He reminded me to visit the dentist at least once a year to wash away all the dirts. It hurts when he was cleaning as he had to open up those gums to get all the dirts. Once done, I had a mouthful of saliva with blood. I rinsed my mouth 3 times and still there were blood. He touched up by polishing my teeth but then again I'm not sure whether he corrected the filling my previous dentist made. I think he did because he was quite pissed off about it when I told him I went to polyclinic. hahahah... I mean, seriously, I didn't know anyone who knows a good dentist that time and my cavity was deep till the root of my teeth that time.

Oh yea, he even gave me a bottle of liquid for gargle after I brush my teeth, something like Lysterine but it's red in colour and also some pain killer to prevent me from feeling pain til I can't concentrate on my studies. Overall, I was only charged RM60. That's cheap. I mean, I heard my mom went to this other famous doctor to clean her teeth and she was charged RM200. Well, thanks to Jia Jun for his concern and his money. Without that, I would be in pain this whole day without studying until the exam's over on Nov 15.

Now, I have to brush my teeth after every meal.
Avoid from having cold, sweet and sour food.
Rinse and gargle my mouth with warm water, which means I have to boil water everytime I gargle for these 3 days.
My own resolution, having oats or porridge only for these 3 days. Don't feel like biting on hard food cos I'm having a loose teeth now since the gums aren't intake yet. Heheheh..

Lol. Hehehe.. That's all!
