Yours is a private dental clinic?

Yes, because my daughter has such limited hours that she can have it done, and we would rather do it now (lull period before prelims and A levels, and N.Day holidays coming up) than risk having her wisdom teeth act up during the exams.

It was a very long wait in the afternoon before getting the initial consultation and x-ray, then they asked us to come back at 9pm! She had the jabs after 11pm, her surgery past midnight, and by the time we left the clinic, it was 2am! After getting the stitches removed next week, we definitely won't go back there because I can't stand that kind of waiting time. I chose the place because I had been once and been impressed by the dentist's skill, and the receptionist told me (inaccurately) that the surgery could be done straight after consult and x-ray without making another appointment. When I went last year (for an aborted root canal), the wait was only 1 hr. But talking to others in the waiting room last night, waits of 2-3 hrs are common! I will stick with my regular dentist in future - she requires separate visits for x-ray and surgery, which I was trying to avoid because my daughter's schedule is so packed, but in the end, I would have preferred that to having to wait so many hours.

Edited to add: The dentist is very skillful, so no complaints on that score. It's the waiting that kills!

hi slmkhoo,

the 2nd time i had my wisdom tooth removed, it was definitely much faster and less painful. best part is i didn’t feel the needle and bitterness of the jab. oh yes, no stitches either.

My daughter had no complaints about the jabs and the surgery, and she says there isn't much pain now, just soreness - she doesn't even need painkillers. She's planning to go to youth group in church this afternoon, and she will attend a family dinner (I will pack soup and steamed egg for her) tonight!

Rehearsal finally over in the morning,on the way home and I can finally sleep in my own bed tonight.Had not been home for a while.


I suggested to everyone to tabao lunch at ABC market and a weekend wagon riding session at ECP since it has been some time we did something like that.The girls will be going back to school tomorrow for the last time to bid goodbye to their teachers and friends.They are sad to leave though cos they grew up and studied in Malaysia for the past 11 years.

Everyone esp the girls heartily agreed with today’s activities.Weather looks great too.

understand their sadness but studying in malaysia is not for long haul since mummy and daddy are working in singapore...and also for everyone's sanity because of the long distance and different school hours.

It was my turn to be sick as I caught a cold at ECP yesterday.Nose was like a tap and kept dripping.Slept like a log yesterday after downing honey lemon and Aquarius.

Now waiting for the staff to expedite the school withdrawal process after my wife explained the withdrawal reasons to them.I guess it is the last time we will be coming to Malaysia on Sundays.

Consoled the girls by giving them smiles and kind words to them.Told them they will see us more often in future and spend more time as a family.

oh dear, you've been training too hard and stressed. hope you get well REAL soon.

when the girls move here to study, school hours will be normal and you guys will get to enjoy family life.
no more driving long distances to JB nor having school on Sundays.

Thanks Janet…


Instead of getting rest time on Saturdays and Sundays these past few months,it has been quite tiring and stressful for us to drive to and fro from Malaysia esp for my wife as she used to rush to prepare lessons and do admin stuff on Sunday nights after coaching the girls on their Chinese.

have you been taking vitamin c?
things will improve once there is a system in place. when NDP is over, you will get the necessary rest and wife will not have to suffer the long ride to and fro malaysia. it's harder on her in such a weather. pregnant women's hormones work extra hard and they feel very hot. i remember setting the air con to 23 degrees and enjoying it while hubby was feeling very cold.
