Crown Lengthening

Crown lengthening... sounds like some royal stuffs?

It's thinning part of your jawbone!! *fainting*

I did not realised it had been 3 years (Jan2008) since I took out my wisdom tooth. The tooth in front of that had been affected before I extracted the wisdom tooth. Probably delayed too long last time; too scared or dun care.

After having pain from the existing tooth (see my earlier Feb post), yesterday I finally went for the surgery... This crown lengthening surgery was suggested so that the gum and bone can get out of the way for tooth filling. This proceeding required removal of part of my jawbone... *fainting again*

I was at the National Dental Centre. The whole surgery took around 1hr20min. I could clearly hear what's going on despite not feeling too much. Cutting... Grinding... Filing!! You would thought it was a technical lesson on wood carving during secondary school!! Damn!!!

So much effort and $$$ to save a tooth huh...
$700+ on the proceeding alone yesterday. Has schedules to go back at least 2 more time.
My wife took half day leave to take care of me; just like last time during wisdom tooth extraction.

I was given 4 day MC... but I will be flying off to Shanghai tomorrow for a few day summit.

Golf

Mentioned in my previous post, I just got a new internal posting/job within my existing company. So I will be dealing with more Sales stuffs in the future.

I was wondering if I will need to play golf with clients and bosses in the future.
Probably it's time to pick up this sport "again"...

Well, the reason why I said "again" is because I tried golf 3~4 years back! Played a couple of times in the driving range... but did not really take off (both interest and the balls! haha)...

Now there seem to be more purposes... for work? And to pick up another sport since getting older?
This time I seem more determined... haha... still too early to judge...
Well, I got myself a glove so that I'm more prepared and motivated... :p
Got my wife a pair as well! Trying to get her to play with me, so that I will not be alone and get motivated when learning it together with more people. Also jio my colleagues...

I was also thinking if I should pay for a course to learn it formally. When you pay, you will learn. Hahaha... Borrowing a golf set from a friend! Act pro... haha...

See how my golf journey goes... Update in few months' time... ;p

New Job Role!

I managed to attain the first change of the year...

New job role within the company! A Sales job which required some travelling around the region.

I have been looking for a new job or changes. Looking forward to the new challenges...
Good or bad... for this case...?

Only time will tell...
