Dental Appointment

Dear Diary,

I have less than 2 days to submit my dissertation topic and I seriously have no idea what topic I should choose and do. Out of the 20 topics, I have eliminate a few which then make me left with 5 topics to choose from. I eliminated more till I'm left with 2.

Some of the dissertation topics really sound alien to me. I don't know which smart soul will actually choose such chim topic as their dissertation.

Anyway, I was contemplating between the Breast cancer and a Microbiology topic regarding Inflammation Bowel Disease. And as you know, I will definitely be much better in handling Microbiology topic but sadly, the journals has no conclusion to it yet and I'm afraid I only have little journals to work with. However, Breast cancer being the upper hand having so many journals to read from since there is so many ongoing research on cancer. But I realised, the more I read, the more confused I become.

I am seriously stuck in a situation which I find it hard to choose. If journals and conclusion weren't a problem, Microbiology topic would have won me hands down.

I visited the dentist today after a year. I didn't know my filling from last year were all almost depleting, till the hole could actually be seen again. I still remember I had trouble eating because my tooth hurts and I had the same problem again just recently after biting into a chunk of Chicken Rice bone.

All I intended was just to do polishing and scaling but I end up having thoughts of getting my supernumerary tooth extracted. When the dental assistant asked me "Why do you want to extract that tooth?" Yes my blunt answer was "I don't like it."

Exactly. I just don't like it. I have never like it! Even my family find it ugly and keep teasing me about having that extra tooth, well they used to before they convince me now it's nicer. It was the only reason why I keep my mouth close when I smile because it appears horrendously ugly on pictures. I'll be dying to smile showing my teeth.

But sadly, I was told to consult a specialist first before extracting. Because they are afraid that if one day I were to do braces they might need that supernumerary tooth of mine that I have extracted. So braces that is? I wanted to but the cost of braces is making me having 2nd thoughts. Come on, the cheapest for braces could go about 4.5K? At this age, this amount of money is definitely crucial to me, especially when the word wedding accompanies. Lol!

So I had 3 fillings to do and yes, polishing & scaling for my teeth was done as well. And don't be alarmed how much the bill came up to,

$345

Yes, I know it would totally add up to that plus minus because each scaling + polishing and a filling could easily cost you $80 each. Don't forget consultation fee as well as if they were to use any other extra treatment, it might cost another additional kachings.

So yes, I'm $345 less this month. On top of that, I have my school fees to pay. Well, a life of a student cum working adult. You cannot complain.

Till here. I shall head off to sleep. Heading for lunch at Shabu Shabu with my dearest bestie tomorrow. A belated birthday treat for Hernie. GOODNIGHT.

P.S: I promise once I'm back from lunch, I'll continue my dissertation research.

XOXO,
