Bleeding Gum

My gum bleeds each time I brush my teeth, it was quite disturbing and I know it's time for me to visit dentist for my yearly check up and got my plaque remove.  Surprisingly, after my dental appointment my gum stopped bleeding when I brush it.  According to the dentist, my gum are not that healthy and he advise me to do the treatment.  I trust his professional advice and agreed to get my gum treated.  It's quite expensive but I want my gum to be healthy ... what to do?? :((

It takes me 2 days to get it all treated.  On 3rd Dec the dentist treat my right side gum.  It included plaque removal and the gum treatment.  The next day, I got my left side gum - upper and lower gum treated.  

I buy this Compact Interdental Brush to removes the plaque between teeth or the food that sticks in between teeth.  This is the best was to keep our teeth clean thoroughly besides floss it :)

Dr told me, my gum are quite sensitive and advise me to use the super soft tooth brush to my teeth.  I bought a bottle of PerioGard - Antiseptic Mouth & Throat Rinse to rinse with it after my brushing twice daily.

Antibiotic & some painkillers for me :)

Will back for the follow-up check up again after 2 or 3 weeks.  Now, I will spent longer time to brush my teeth, paying more attention to the teeth at the back which we hardly reach it with tooth brush.  

After spent sometime & money, no more bleeding gum & fresher breath :)

P/S:  When is your last time visit your dentist???

Twice In One Month Time . . .

I just change the tyre recently, my tyre breaks when I accidently drive on a broken flower pot at my mother's house when I go to help her drive her rubbish to throw.  I had to change the tyre to new one because it cannot be used anymore.  Is that we called lucky or the other way round when my tyre puncture again in one month time??? A 2 inch nail are the culprit ... who's gonna to be blamed?? sigh**

Today Is Not A Good Day !!

My alarm rings at 7am, why so early??? It's school holiday already and I can wake up a bit late right?  My son he has to go to school for the Chinese Orchestra - Erhu practice,  again .. practice, practice, practice .. even on school holidays also have to go practice.  It's ok for me to wake up early and sent him to school... I want to get my yearly dental check up too.  Maybe, I can just go to visit my dentist earlier.  But, I only notice that my car battery dead when it was about time to sent my son to school.  Need to spent money again.  Last week my car tyre just got puncture when a 2 inch nail popped into it.  I've called the foreman to come to my house but still waiting for them till now.  I hope to get my battery changed and I can use my car again .. .. .. 

Sometimes when I think, I just desperately need someone who can be my driver :))) Sent me to the place I want to go & fetch me when I want to go home .. .. hehe!!  

Wish All Of You Have a Nice Day!!

Lately, I've been visiting this White Kopitiam frequently for my dinner.  This kopitiam have been operated since June this year.  The food there are average in taste and price.  They are famous for the Seafood Tomyam & HK-style Milk Tea.  Those are my favorite too :)

For those who still haven't tried the food there might just give it a try.  The price are reasonable and the food are yummy.  I love the environment there... very clean and comfortable.

HER BIG DAY ..!!

Who's BIG DAY??  Yes, it's my mother in law's big day, it's her birthday.  My mother in law, she will only celebrates her birthday according to the Chinese Lunar Calendar's date.  She is quite a traditional thinking lady who must eat "mee sua  & eggs" on her birthday.  

I'm very bad that I never take the effort to remember her chinese lunar birthdate.  I remember I only cook twice the mee sua soup for her birthday in my more than 10yrs ++ as her daughter in law.  Not too bad already la,.. at least I cooked for her before .. hehe !!  

My sister in law and her mommy :)

Snap a pic with the birthday girl ... hahaha ~

My baby want to join in .. so, another take for 3 girls of 3 different generation :)

How Do You Like It Raining ??

How do you like raining and how does it make you feel?? 

For me, rain can stir up a lot of different emotions depending upon the situation, location, and who I am with or if I'm alone.

Rain can be very sensual and romantic; cause a feeling of calm and peacefulness to wash over you; make you extremely reflective and introspective; bring about a ton of thoughts about the past/present/future and help resolve issues that I might be struggling with at that particular time; well, I could go on, but that's enough of that. I don't want everyone to know EVERYTHING about me :)  LOL!

I love listening to the rain softly hit the windows or the roof as I go to sleep. It almost creates a feeling of comfort and being safe and that in itself will tend to lull me to sleep.

I prefer just to stay home when it is raining. One of the way I enjoy myself when raining is having something warm, like a bowl of my favorite Maggi instant noodles and watching my favorite movie or online.  Eating something warm on raining day are just comforting.  

Picture was taken from my room window ... that's very heavy rain on that particular day.

Wind blows drastically ... sometimes I just love the sound of the wind blowing and feels it's breeze 

Roof of my house ... hehe 

Look at it .... make people lazy to go out anywhere :)

My elder princess - Jou Nin was chosen to represented her school Chinese Orchestra group to play Cello at Genting Highland for the International Chinese Orchestra Competition. It was the world ranking competition which was also participated by the candidates/students from as far as China, Taiwan, Singapore, Thailand & etc. She was very excited and happy, getting all her stuff packed as early as few days ago and even ask me to get her a new pair of pink sport shoes just for her journey to Genting Highland. I can see she really look like going to Genting holiday than competition.

Students were asked to pray at school before the journey starts ..

Lining up waiting for the bus to arrive.

This is her first outstation trip alone without me. I'm a bit worry !!

Spotted her new shoes?? Nice ?? :)

Book worms?? or Recipes worms? ...

Most girls would like to spent their time in a beauty salon or shopping. But, I like to visit bookshops & spent hours there to go thru all the books that I like - especially all the recipe books for baking & cooking. I love to flipped over the colorful pages with those yummy pictures of the food in it. Admire the food cooked & steal some idea on how to snap a good foodie pics :) I just can't resist when I saw recipe books, I must flipped to see what's in it.

My very first recipe book was the recipe textbook that I'm using when I'm still in secondary school. I was in the home-science class and every Thursday, we have to bring the ingredients according to the recipe that we need to cook on that day to cook in our school kitchen. I wonder, if there are home-science classes for the form 4 & 5 students now??

I still remember my home-science teacher Mrs Molly Tan screaming & scolding us all the way from start till the end of our cooking class. She is very "garang" & we all so scare of her :( She will even pull our ears if we did anything wrongly ... hehe !! I still can recall her pretty face & screaming voice till now... we have learn a lot of cooking tips from her, Mrs Molly Tan - if u see this, Thank you so much & I miss u !! :p

Yeah, talk about recipe books ... I've really huge collection of good recipe book at home. Some of it are more than 10 yrs ald. I like to flipped on the recipe books when I'm free & from there, I'll come out with the idea on what I want to cook for my family.. At here, I would like to take this opportunity to thank my foodie blogger friend - PENNY for present me 3 recipe books when we meet up when I'm in KL. Thank you so much my dear (^.^) !! (Will snap the pictures of the recipe books she gave me to show all of u soon)

For those who knows me, I'm not chinese-educated & dunno chinese ... I'm those who will call us Bananas!!! hahaa... Please PARDON ME?? why u all call the ppl who dunno chinese BANANA?? I didn't look anything like BANANA ok?? & I don't really like yellow color as well .. that's my youngest daughter favourite color, hehe!! Can anyone tell me, why banana??

I always or sometime once a while will blame my mom, for why she didn't sent me to a chinese primary ... I try to learn chinese by myself since younger days .. but till now, I still cannot master it all. Chinese language are the hardest to learn not to mention writing all those weird characters .. I will CRY!! For the reason that I don't know chinese ... I have missed out all those nice chinese language books & novels .. can't read them.. kelian lo!!

Anyway, beside chinese cookbooks & magazines ... here are 2 chinese books that I buy for myself for the very first time ... Just want to learn reading it, not that easy tho.. I think these 2 books will last me 5 yrs to finished them .. ha ha ha ... :)

Both books are very interesting, got help from my daughter 2 read the first chapter for me ald... will ask her to help me again when school holidays starts .. :)

My best regards,

AMY

Sometimes I just feels that time passed just like that & too fast. I'm getting older each day & my kids have really grown up. It's almost coming 6 months since my beloved dad leave this world. Miss him a lot!! Time just passed and this year is going to end very soon, another 2 months to go! When I think back, we just really need to treasure the time we have. Be happy, be content & always feeling blessed of what we have now.

My mother now already started to get used with her life without my dad. I just want to stay and take care of her, treasure my moment with her all the time. Mom, I love u!! without you, there'll be no ME :) Thanks for everything u have given me... and it's time for me to care for u now. Just want to treasure my time with her ..
