I open wide and she puts it in..

    I believe you guys have seen my teeth and how it looks like. Well I’m sure non of you know bout the inside. Today I decided to visit a government clinic for scaling. The reason for that is it’s cheap (RM3 maa..) and I’m afraid my teeth will fell off before it suppose too.
    You see, bacteria loves my oral cavity. Those tea and coffee combined with other factors I’m embarrassed to tell you, make it such heaven for plaque buildup, resulting a calculus (no not the math one).
    As usual for a government clinic you have to wait almost an hour for services. When my numbers appear on the blinkin stuff, I stepped myself into a room which looks more like in those alien abduction stories, bright white light with a chair underneath. Wires and tubes dangling like some sort of anal probe device (fortunately it enters the other way around ;P ). The dentist is a she. I can’t see her face because of the surgical mask but I bet shes pretty coz of her hair (amoi maa..). I saw she’s preparing this thing that looks like a drill bit. She ask me to open my mouth and insert this sucking tube (i don’t know the tech name) which later I had to hold throughout the process. Open wide…she said, then in the mirror with the drill thingy. It doesn’t feel a thing at first, but when she digs into the gums..Oh God help me! Gently (well, rather mercilessly) she guides it to each and everyone of my tooth n when its on d worst part of the buildup, I started to groan. Relax! Relax! her wide eyes pierced me wit bit of irritation maybe. Couple more tooth and its over (that doesn’t take long). Another Indian dentist gave me a cup of water to gargle. It bleeds quite a lot that I ask more water to gargle. There’s a large mirror nearby which I check my teeth later, to see if there’s any difference. I noticed she looked at me which puzzling sort of look. Maybe I’m the weirdest patient she ever had..
    Thus in the end my teeth is a bit cleaner but not exactly sparkling white. It’s just that the calculus has gone. Teach me a lot about taking care of my oral hygiene..Hmm.. I wanna go and brush my teeth…

Watching Man of The Year on HBO..

    To tell you the truth, politics is something complicated that some people like to talk bout and make it as if they know a whole lot of things but at the same time are not willing to participate in it. Such people are those who sit around at coffee shops and tried to solve national issues while banging at the table as if its a parliamentary debate (I felt like I’m one too its just i don’t sit at coffee shops)..
     But how smart actually are voters, no how smart and open they are? I mean like do we have comedians who make political jokes here like Robin Williams in the Man of The Year? Woo..i think if someone tries to do that probably they’ll be banned from media. Coz we have all learn trough our nice one week of brainwashing thing (i forgot actually), that the government will always do the best for the people. So you cannot make fun or joke around about government policies. To think of it, we are lucky that we don’t have much lobbyist here (or do we?), so the power is still in our hands?.Or it that what it seems to be?
    Ok, I’m not making any sense here and most you probably would not read this anyway.Lastly some quote from Tom Dobbs (Robin Williams in that movie) ‘politicians are like diapers, they need to be change often, thats why you vote’…My my,our politics must be really stink…
