TODAY IS A REAL SUAY(UNLUCKY) DAY FOR LEETAHSAR

For the past week or so...it had been a very suay period for me...actually i sowed the greedy seed...and now i suffer it's painful effect.
love to eat...just love to eat. so eat and eat. then "cracked"...wow, hell! the biggest right molar cracked and fracture. it was hell the whole night. freaking painful. couldn't sleep peacefully. turning and tossing, tossing and turning.....
so bo bian. went to see dentist pal..the same guy who operated and extracted both my wisdom teeth 8 yrs ago.
"Hi tahsar! u din come for yearly dental checkup hor....let me check...my goodness 8 yrs the last time u were here," dr kk greeted me.
there i lied on the reclined dentist chair. " pai seh lah, kk. not i dun want to come. i fear 2 things in my life. gooner people than me and dentist....sorry...that would be u, hahaha..." i gong gong replied him. luckily i already knew kk when he was just a dentist in training wannabe from NUS.
i used to advertise my african violets for sale. i grew a really mean african violets. quality surpassed even those that flew in from HOLLAND. mine were the acclimatised one...meaning the flowers that bloom lasted very much longer... and that attracted another african violet lover kk.
i remembered kk as a pleasant and very sportman hunk of a undergraduate. every advertisement i placed when my av were ready for sale, he sure to come....
however, being a undergraduate, i understood that he might not be rich. so u know what....i taught him how to grow the violets without buying from me....and this toa goon even gave him leaf cuttings of all the colours he had to bring back to propagate....not only that, fearing that he might not be able to use the right potting media - very very important if one wants to grow av - i specially mixed a bag and gave to him foc....there u have it. no business from him and some more got to teach and give bonus potting media away...foc :)
so here i was again - lying on his reclining dentist chair admiring the whole row of flowering avs....purple, pink, white, bicolours, reddish...etc....so lovely see the plants already happily reminded me of my beautiful nursery which were bulldozed mercilessly away.....
kk checked my dentures and kept shaking his head. "Tahsar, i got bad bad news for u...." i heard those words only, my mouth opened even wider and my eyes bigger like shooting out lightning already. "u got a complicated fracture biggest molar here on ur right....and there's another fine fracture one...again the biggest molar on ur left...the right one is really bad. need to be extracted asap. the left one still can tahan 'cept u ve to refrain from eating hard food like nuts and the likes...if not sure crack." kk continued, "k, i arrange for u to come again this friday at 12.30pm.(which is today). i arrange for my dental pal who's an expert in fracture tooth extraction...dun worry lah...how come got electricity coming out from ur eyes?....hahaha. he's very very good and fast. u definitely won't feel a thing..."
woe is me...why do i ve to suffer such...kk,kk...u already removed 4 molars. 2 wisdom and 2 badly affected molars next to the condemned wisdom....see that's what u get dun visit annually ur friendly dentist. serve u right tah sar!.......to be so greedy.
and guess how much he charged me. he even took Xray for my denture...i can't tell u or else if already guess who's kk the friendly dentist, sure u all go tekkan and bargain the hell out of him....whatever he charged me...warms my heart so much...;9)
....to be cont'd

so today...D day has finally arrived.
p p p p p .....pp! that would be sibeikang and beipine below. we were going for morning timsum at hongxin....i striked lottery 3 in the same day so i would be footing the bill.
it' been quite a long while i seen sibeipine since he hurt choobeebee the indo gf of his. goodness! sibeikang, u bloody freaking rich hor...yesterday u drove me in an orange moke and today u got urself a red one...in no time u will own all the rare mokes in sinkietown.
yesterday was a thursday, i was really very nervous and anxious about friday's dental appointment....just liket the feeling of preparing to be slaughtered like a pig...so was feeling really uneasy. it so happened sibeikang called me to join him for dinner...so ok lor...got 4d money warm in pocket. belanja him lah instead....i couldn't eat. both sides of mouth in pain..couldn't chew with 2 torturing fracture molars...
so here i was again at hongxin restaurant famous for their very early timsum...as early as 7am.
we were ushered to our table. i ordered the sou may tea...a white tea very shiok not commonly available here..but freaking common in HK.then grabbed all the timsum that zoomed past us in trolleys...overall we like eaten about 20+ kinds of timsums.
after makan, started talking cock. i couldn't help it. it was drizzling quite heavy outside.i told the boys,"Today i suppose to go for my fractured molar extraction ....maybe could be a surgery or what....and hell i damn scare and nervous now..."
goodness! instead of listening to my plight, the sibei brother went order another 3 bowls of century egg pork congee. hell! my bills was enlarging faster than their tummies.
"i am sensing today is going to be assluck day for me....a very bad day for me...i want to postpone the appointment...." i continued. but the boys instead of listening were slurping away their congee.oh heck! i guess they were more interested in their stomach than my whinings...so i slurped my congee too and shuddup my gape.
when the bill finally came. almost $60. ok lor, still within my limit. i was thinking the limit would be like 90 or so. u know the sibei brothers r truly good and hearty eaters hor.
had my fill now at least could prepare myself to be slaughtered. i mean i dun think i would be able to eat after the extraction.
almost 11am. the sibei brothers got to return to open their individual shops. sibeikang sent me home. before he left, he told me they were listening when i was whining and asked me to let them know if i needed them to come pick me up should i be feeling goggy after the slaughtering....so touching and i thought they were only interested in the food there.

the hour finally arrived. D HOUR...after taking the mrt, i reached kk's dental clinic in town.
a couple of ladies were ahead of me there waiting for their turns. then i saw a young chap exiting from one of the rooms. mouth stuff with bloody gauze. he slumped onto the seat next to me. already my heart was pumping very fast. hell...the waiting was more torturing then being on the chopping table itself.
so while idling away, i gave a faint smile to that gauze stuffed chap and asked, "Er ...excuse me hah...pain or not hah?" even my voice was a bit shaky when i blurted those words. "No ...din feel a thing..dr tan was damn skilled...i extracted one shot 3 teeths...all molars some more.." he replied me smiling with a drool of bloody saliva slipping out at the corner of his lips...eee...gross. he sucked it back and *yucks!* swallowed it...double gross yucks!!! but was a relief to hear he didn't feel a pinch of pain. soon it was my turn and kk just came out from the other room.
"hi, tahsar! dun worry this specialist of mine is damn good at pulling teeth...u won't feel a thing..fast and sweet...hahaha! going for my lunch now...u take care ok...." kk greeted me and then buzzed off to the waiting lift.

i entered the room. dr tan greeted me. "hi tahsar...take a seat. relax hor...let's go through ur dental history first, ok." well, he was very friendly BUT...yes there was a big BUT...looked kind of young to be a dentist...looked more like my primary school pattern kind of students...now i was really scared!! and nervous...so i told him, "Er, dr tan...my molars now no more pain, can i skip?" "hahaha...u joker huh, tahsar...hahaha...dun worry, u won't feel a thing. kk already brief me. just relax. i m going to give u couple of injection, ok...dun worry. totally painless.." he consoled me. what to do now? wait to be slaughtered lah, what else?
one poke and two poke of the syringe and i started getting high already. it was like i was floating...very relax...very goggy...like want to dose off. "How tahsar? not pain right? relax...relax...take deep breathe...ok...mouth open wide. i gonna pull the tooth out now." dr tan's and his hypnotic soothing words. no sooner than he finished talking, the whole thing was over...the tooth was extracted. but hell!!! WRONG MOLAR!!! ;9(
"Er tahsar, do u know there's one next to the one that i just extracted which is badly fractured....?" dr tan told me. huh? what? a fracture molar....oh no!!! the good dentist pulled out a wrong good molar...how now? how? die man? he thinks i got so many extra molars for him to pull or what?? die lah!!!
"Oh no! dr tan, u pulled out the wrong one....it's the fractured one that needs to go ...not this good one...this good one suppose to be the support for future bridging...now how...how?" now i really panic. and dr tan also panic. "Hold on, kk told me the 2nd molar, so that's the 2nd molar what..." goodness dr tan u r still a swimming blur sotong. kk meant the 2nd molar from the good one which u just pulled out...not from the already pulled out long gone lst molar....u misunderstood real bad...now how???
"ok...dr tan...don't bother now. since my mouth is numb, u might as well pull out that condemned fracture molar which is torturing me..." i suggested to him.
he acceded my request and injection again and finally removed the freaking molar. " dr tan, i want my teeth back, can? i mean they r my body parts u know..." i asked. "sure u can ve them...i asked the nurse to wrap it up for u..." dr tan was a bit fidgeting now. if i didn't see wrongly, there were beads of sweats on his forehead.
what to do? he was such good extractor except a bit blur. i consoled him back, "dun worry lah, dr tan, what's done is done. i dun mind at all.....it's fated..actually 8 yrs ago, kk wanted to remove that good tooth too but i stopped him. he told me that wasn't a base molar to grind with it so no point keeping the tooth...and now seem that this tooth really is not fated to be with me...so be it...dun feel bad dr. tan." to make him less guilty or embarrassed, i praised him some more,"dr tan, u r truly really damn damn good...din feel a thing. and my goodness done 2 teeth in less than 10 minutes...u must be the fastest tooth puller in the west...hahahaha" oh...i was really aching inside..but i had to laugh it out to make poor dr tan felt better. finally he laughed. so ok lor, case closed. go pay money lor.
while i was at the cashier, kk called and asked the cashier to tell me to wait for him. he was on his way back to see me...and to fuck dr tan i presume...i already could sensed his anger and displeasrue in the phone.
in a jiffy, kk was back. i thought i saw fume coming out from his forehead. but by then dr tan already left for his lunch. so in way good. the two good docs didn't clash.
the moment i met kk, he was very apologetic. i told him to forget the whole incident...it was a miscommunication. dr tan was a friendly and damn good tooth extractor. i told about the 8 yrs ago story when he wanted too to extract this good tooth...so it means that this tooth and i had no affinity...so be it...and so be it.
i told him to promise me not to give dr tan any thrashing. it was ok with me. what was done was done, no point blaming who's who. and laugh it out as a joke....
then i paid with my amex platinum...kk was shocked. "goodness! tahsar, i dun even own one no...u must be damn rich to retire hor?" he teased me. "No lah, kk...this one not mine a gof pal sponsors me one...but i will be paying him money when the bill comes u know...so dun chop chop me hor." now my turn to return the teasing.
in the end....the whole bill...well...very very surprisingly cheap....can't tell u lest the whole bunch go there and ask for this special price...only to me leetahsar.,,;9)
story hasn't ended...as i went to take the mrt...hell, my just topped up $50 EZ link card was missing from my trouser pocket...now i panic again...really very very suay. first pulled wrong tooth, now lost just topped up ez card....shit should ve heed my 6th sense and postponed the appointment....now all my mind went haywire...all in a mental turnmoil .
yes...breathe in and breathe out...breathe deeply again...meditate ...concentrate and chant...and chant OM MANI PADME HOM...repeated and repeated...u won't believe what happen next...i actually sensed my lost ez link card...it was there on the chair where i sat...it was there slotted in between the groove...off i ran back to kk's clinic. and well...true enough it was there....happily i retrieved my ezlink card and took mrt to return home and wrote what happened today....
so u see...the morale of today's LEETAHSAR SWAY UNTIL PAK CHENG (GUN FIRING SQUAD) assluck black friday:
WHAT IS YOURS WILL REMAIN YOURS; WHAT'S IS NOT SURE WILL NOT...
so brothers and sisters dun lament over the things that are already lost...but treasure those that u still possess....
PEACE TO ALL OF U WHO READ THIS RATHER LONG WINDED STORY which happened to me unluckily today....
the end. ;9)
