Always finish your cheese

And that is my principle. No matter how bad taste a cheese is, I always finish my cheese…though I’m an extremely slow eater. Problem is….I can no longer bear with the stinking cheese and yet, I have to finish it. I need to find a better tasting cheese. Nobody moved my cheese but I just happen to be eating cheese that nobody wants to eat….sigh. I wonder why I even started to eat it anyway.

Now that Mini, Whinny and Moe are forced to eat my cheese as well…I didn’t feel one bit better. I felt bitter. For all the good cheese that I have ate before…this is the worst tasting one. The one that will make you hate cheese for the rest of your life. What’s worse is …it’s a huge cheese. Even with MWM helping me….can we finally finish the cheese? Can all of us bear with it until the end?

Anyway, here’s a lil book about cheese that I highly recommend for those who like their cheese…
Who Moved My Cheese

Have a great week ahead folks!

Teluk Kumbar

Went for a lil stroll along a jeti in Teluk Kumbar last week. Windy and serene. Good place to chill…sunset was soso that day. If you come here, becareful of the blank floor planks though…there are lots of gaps in between.

My First Root Canal Appointment

It went smoothly. So the previous article about pain was very appropriate. There was almost no pain in my case. Any negative thoughts was imaginary. The only painful moment was the numbing jab. Even then it was like less than 1% of the pain felt compared to the toothache itself. There were moments of drilling and picking in my tooth….none felt painful.

I think it’s important to make sure that one finish up or take most of the given antibiotic as it helped to reduce inflammation. Ultimately, it helped to minimize pain during the procedure. Also, it helps to close ones eyes during the procedure. What you can’t see won’t scare you any more than whatever you imagine…I also opened my mp3 through out the session. Hope the dentist enjoy my selection of songs :P …the sound drowned out during drilling though.

I was told the success rate was 70% for the third molar and I don’t really have a choice. It’s better than pulling it.

There’s a certain flavor in my mouth now…not sure if it’s the anesthetic or the filling. Let’s hope it won’t be too painful after the jab wears off.

Special thanks to Luan for recommending this dentist (Ch’ng Dental Surgery in Bukit Jambul).

Pre-Root Canal Treatment

I found a really good article relating to root canal treatment today while researching this topic. Particularly about pain.

Last week’s pain was the most severe after I have bitten something hard. There after, the pain was continuous but mild and throbbing. Pain killer became part of my diet. As of now, I think I got abscessed tooth. The pain is no more, even if I bite my teeth now…but it felt “longer”. So there’s probably some swelling at the root.

I went to another dentist today. The cost of root canal was less than half of the previous clinic I went (I wonder why the huge difference?). I was greeted with a young dentist whose “boss” is the owner of the clinic. I promptly express my FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt) to the dentist. I was subsequently lectured on the “procedure” of root canal and was shown a diagram of a tooth. Pain was an issue as I can still feel it as the dentist pressed a cotton bud to my 3rd molar. I was given amoxicillin and metronidazole as my food supplement . 3 days from now, I will meet the boss. I was told I’m in good hands.

PS: The cost told to me did not include crowning…so with crowning it’s only a little less expensive than the previous clinic and not half.

Generation Kill or Be-Killed

Gen K

I love wars. Not waging wars but watching war films and playing war games, be it paint ball or PC games. As a kid I used to watch Combat.

I’m sort of happy when they decided to make a war film based on the Iraq War. Band of Brother style, although I like Band of Brothers more.

Ladies and sissies welcome to Generation Kill (or be killed).

Now to all non war fans, if you don’t like wars this is going to be a very boring series. The desert presents a boring landscape. The skinnies are no match for the GIs. So yea…it’s kinda boring fighting people who aren’t your match. It’s not so bad for those guys in the army these days. You get to play with drones like the Predator and eat Subway, Pizzahut in the middle of the fcuking desert.

Here’s my verdict:

War fun factor: 8/10
Plot: 5/10
Violence: 6/ 10
Noise: 5/ 10
Sound track: n/a

Quotatble quotes:

1. Don’t shoot dogs, shoot people.
2. We’re marines. We follow orders. Our mission now is to not follow the original mission.

Playing with Curves

These are some very aggressive curve editing. The high saturation may not go down well with some of you but they are the kind of “feeling” that I want.

Originally wanted to put more lyrics but changed my mind. I have to consciously refrain from over-doing things nowadays :P

I selected Sara and then invert the selection. Applied an aggressive curve to the background. My bar code label was done like that using mesh warp…not exactly perfect. My shoddiness is showing again :P

I like Sara’s expression in this one.

I corrected the perspective for this one and also aggressive curve editing on both Sara and the background. I like it when Sara smile :)

Well, I think that marks the end of the Sara Ayumi series. Looking forward to the next shoot.

Macross Frontier Theme Song

I have been playing with curves recently with Sara’s photos. While doing that I was watching episode 24 of Macross Frontier and wow I like this song…hence the lyrics.
