LOVE

爱真是一种伟大的东西,
它可以使冷冷清清的屋子变得很温暖,
本来空空如也的冰箱挤满了各式各样的食物,
本来毫无生气的厨房变得五彩缤纷,
本来面貌可挣的一个女人变成满面春风的女人,

不知名的男人,谢谢你;
因为你, 我冬天的早晨有暖气可以享受。
所以,美丽小姐,请满满的享受你的爱,那我的冬天会过得比较好。

"Can you bleach my decay?"

Today, I saw a patient from Somalia, quite a decent lady. But when she smiles, I could easily spot the ongoing rampant caries in her mouth (extensive decay). If you can picture rotten teeth with only zero to 1/3 of the white enamel (outer layer of tooth) left in the mouth when you look into someone's mouth, you may start to wonder what was going on in there?? I wasn't sure and was pretty convinced that she had no intention to tell me too. It took ages (years) for someone to get rotten teeth like this, unless she has had some other hidden agenda which she wasn't likely to reveal anyway.

Well, with the extend of caries described, the only treatment was to extract her teeth, which she had strongly objected even before i touched her. Despite our concern to her general dental health, she opted for aesthetic than relieve of pain.

"Can you put some white filling to cover my black decayed teeth (only the root stump instead)"..........mmmmm, no, i can't do that.

"Or may be you can bleach them?" oh,dear, where did she get this idea of bleaching a decayed tooth, from the internet???

Ok, out of my curiosity, i did some brief reading on somalia
Somali is located on the Horn of Africa in East Africa, It has no recognised central government authority nor any other feature associalted with an established independant state.

Somali has one of the highest child mortality rate in the world. Education system was privatised after the breakdown of the government.


MAY BE these facts explain where she got her bleaching information. I feel so sorry to her. I hope that she got somethings out of the visit and, she will have a better and realistic idea of her condition. BLEACHING is not going to solve your problem, Full immediate denture is your best choice now .

LAZY to brush your teeth?
Can't give up on smoking?
Addicted to Marijuana, "i can't quit"?
I Love Coke and juice, can't live without them. And I brush my teeth after having coke and very low pH juices. I feel clean afterwards.

WELL, BE PREPARE TO SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES. In the very limited year in Dentistry, I haven't heard one individual being perfectly happy with their denture. It is not about the technical side of the denture work but physiologically, they are just substitute, can't be compared to the genuine set of teeth.

Do you still think DENTURE is a resolution to your intended or unintended, neglected mouth?



Do you want to kiss this mouth?



Or this?

如果帮我变成害我,那又何必呢?

原来好心做坏事是这么一回事。
虽然我真的很生气,可是最后, 我有把脾气收回来, 对他强颜欢笑。 想说, 事情都已经发生了, 生气也没用。

我应该气他不了解我的计划? 还是气我自己没有把计划书写的清清楚楚? 算了, 气不完。
这就是我的优点与缺点, 气来得快, 去得也快。

Winter

The hardest thing to do in winter is to get out of the bed, and the easiast one is to get in bed.

今年冬天特别冷, 除了冷,我也只能用冷来形容这个季节。
空气是冷的, 地板是冷的,手是冷的, 脚是冷的, 我好冷好冷。。。。。只有食物是热的。 只能说,冬天不是减肥的季节。
你想肥死还是冷死?

我病了-Labyrinthitis

我病了。
莫名其妙的病了?

医生诊断我的病为Labyrinthitis, 是医学界也不知道为什么存在的viral infection。 我现在是一直瞎眼,没有平衡感的青蛙。

Labyrinthitis is a balance disorder. It is an inflammatory process affecting the labyrinths that house the vestibular system (which sense changes in head position) of the inner ear.

In addition to balance control problems, a labyrinthitis patient may encounter hearing loss and tinnitus. Labyrinthitis is caused by a virus (the herpes virus has been implicated) but it can also arise from bacterial infection, head injury, an allergy or as a reaction to a particular medicine. Both bacterial and viral labyrinthitis can cause permanent hearing loss, although this is rare.

Labyrinthitis often follows an upper respiratory tract infection (URI).
