now into the last month of the year 2006, last month was a whirlwind, a frenzy of events happened, one after another in rapid succession..now thats its all over, it can all be sum up into four words, "Life can be Cruel".
the band camp in November is one that i will always remember and the last few practices, they are etched in my memory forever, they were brilliantly sad...
but but but..at the end of the month one good thing happened, it brightened up the gloomy sky of me, that beacon of light among the mist of dark fog
life has never been the same since, it has changed, evolved into something that seeks of the different side in you..
It has been so so long.
Life has changed, so much, too much till I don’t have a slightest clue on why is it like this.
I’m surprised I changed since I went into jc, was it the product of our “beloved” education back here in Singapore or is it just the growing process that everyone goes through. After hardwork and some pinch of luck, my jc life seems straightened out now, its on track to the second year.
Before the year closes, in about one month and about 20 days, I think it is only apt that I start reflecting on it. Too many priorities were misplaced in the cause of this year and it played a crucial role into the shaping of the current me. Now, studies are the utmost importance.
I have always believed people grow from experiences and these are what that makes them stronger and hopefully wiser in the future. Through the course of this year, I have learnt that not all things go your way, especially project work. We must learn to work together as a unit, like my PW group, we were like a micro ecosystem I guess, everyone needs everyone..,no man is an island. To survive in today’s world, we must work with each other and accept facts as they come.
Now all I want to do is rid my mind off all my burdens and just concentrate on the upcoming band camp, it holds significant memories for many I guess.
I have became an alien to myself, I know not myself anymore, I have changed till a point where fact becomes fiction and myths become legends. Life is alike a spot of sinking sand, without fail it sucks you in.
about 2 weeks since the last imprint was left here..
during this two weeks lots of things happened..lets say everything happens for a meaning and its for the better!
now that my wound is so so much better, its back to music..
ok...yesterday...
it started out as something some what similar to a toothache, and i thought it was..
yesterday during lit lecture i found a swelling lymph node on the right jaw, and instantly i knew something was wrong..
after physics prac, talking was virtually pain stricken..
rushed to woodlands polyclinic to see a doctor there...
and guess who i saw there? Jessica...she ponned school and was taking mc...
the doctor told me there isn't anything much she could do, she gave me a course of antibiotics and painkiller plus an mc telling me to and see a dentist..
then on my way home, i booked an appointment with the dentist..and i hate dentist...probing mental drills and stuff into your mouth...
when i went in at 8, he checked all my teeth before coming to the affected area...he said there was an infection, however it was in the early stage and its caused by my right lower wisdom tooth..it was biting my gums..
the other 3 of them were nice coming into place perfectly..maybe for now..who knows the future..
he gave two options, to do braces or to extract it out..
braces though. it might not work.. the area to shift it into place is huge...
straightest method: extraction...
i thought it would have been a bad toothache or something, i never imagined it would turn out that bad that it requires a surgery to remove it..
after the x-ray, it showed that my wisdom tooth was huge and bulging extending almost to the nerve, so there might be some complications...
and the best or worse thing is, my mum said i should and will do the surgery on the spot..that was without even consulting me..
off i went to pop down 2 types of painkiller before the local anaesthesia was applied, 3 times..it hit my nerve!
then the saw and cutter went in...
my gum around the tooth was moved to one side then the cutter went in to remove some bone around the tooth..
then the cutter went in a spilt my tooth into half..him was pushing the saw done, my jaw went down too, i thought it would have dislocated...or maybe if i moved my tongue, it might have cut my tongue..
then i heard him ask for forceps, then someone moved away, out of the room, returning very soon...then i felt something going in and tug something...but i just know it wouldn't come out..then another dentist came in and gave some instructions, but they did it on the sly, i couldn't hear anything..the next time the forcep went in, after almost a minute of pulling, it came out..but it was only have of it..
the forcep went in again, this time it tried to pull from the top, but i didn't come out..
he probed the forcep against my lips and i felt tugging in the gums... then off it came...
then he threw a thread across my mouth, a black thread..
just as he was about to stitch up the wound, the other dentist came in again..
i heard my dentist telling him that it didn't come out so he pulled it out from the side from the root instead...
the sewing part was fine, after that, he gave me a gauze to bite on and told me to change it every 1/2 and hour..
i changed 3 times then off i went to sleep after a dose of morphine..
it was one of the best sleep i ever got, i only woke up when my mum ask me to take the painkillers..
now the right jaw and cheek is swelling..
though i got 5 days mc, i will be going back to school tmr..sigh..
but the worse thing that resulted from this incident is the dentist's letter...it reads..
to whom it may regard,
samuel chng has just gone through a surgery to remove his wisdom tooth, kindly excuse him from band for 1 month.
1 month..omg..
i dont care, i will still practice after 2-3 day of rest..
food wise, for now its liquid food..i can bearly open my mouth without making the wound bleed again..drinking is also by sipping only..sigh..
now i'm done blogging about this, off to bed again...muhaha...so thats the price to pay to be able to sleep at home and not go to school..
