Teeth whitening woes and event cheers!


Let's start with the bad, i went for teeth whitening today and got my gums really reddish and swollen because i didn't check out my gum condition with a proper dentist first. it was really bad. I went to school, felt so much pain and discomfort i kept crying and didn't go in for lecture. It was really really bad.. my teeth have been really unlucky this year. First my wisdom tooth, now this.

For the sake of having pearly white teeth, tis' the pain i have to go through. But well, if it helps, you don't have to go through the same painful experience i went through as long as you do proper consultation with your regular dentist. As long as your dentist says your gums and teeth are fine and are in proper condition for the whitening process, everything goes.

Basically, extremely strong chemicals are used in the whitening process, but what happened was that i had calculus in my mouth, (not too sure if its a condition or something like plauqe) but what the dentist told me was that i hadn't had a proper cleaning of my teeth hence yellowish stuff and bacteria accumulated around the area where the gums and teeth are connected(eh, i have proper brushing regime ok, everyone gets that that's why we all have to visit the dentist for polishing now and then.)

Anyhow, that layer of bacteria and stuff was still there, so when i went for whitening, it allowed a space for the chemicals to seep through deep down to the roots of my teeth. And that's when i started feeling all the pain, its not excruciating pain but its a tingling feeling that feels much like an electric shock or you know sometimes the kind of pain you feel when you drink something too cold?? its like having EXTREMELY sensitive teeth.

Not just one tooth, but ALL my teeth. So that was really really unbearable. Sigh. I can't laugh or talk too loudly now, cuz when i do the cold air flows past my teeth and i feel tingly and "gao wei" all over.

Events!

Its the YES 93.3 concert on saturday and also campus superstar finals on saturday! I think i'll be one of the first few in the concert so maybe after that i'll be able to rush down to catch a glimpse of the final two battle it out and hopefully catch Carrie and Wenhai in action!(they'll be singing a duet on the campus finals... )

But if it interests you... these are the songs i'll be singing during the 93.3 concert.

1. 方大同 - 苏丽珍
2. 林俊杰 - 杀手
3. 曹格 - 背叛

All guys songs lei... =) Actually i do try to find female artiste's songs to sing. But somehow, never find the right song or suitable ones that i feel i'll enjoy doing on a big stage. I think I lose out sometimes because i don't i'll ever be able to sing a guy's song better than a guy but at the very least i hope i put up a commendable performance. =) So do try come down and take a look if you're free! Or around the area!


OH yes, on the 1st of Sept, Daren and I will be performing(together!) at a SONY comex exhibition. Not too sure its location, but its been a long while since we last had a chance to perform together... and its an exhibition so you peeps who are looking to buy a new camera, video camera, phone, television, stereo system can come down take a look...

And finally...
Music Story with Anthony Png
click on the link to find out more on who will be performing at this concert. =)
方老师 has been a very important person in my journey to becoming a 'superstar' because he was the one who encouraged me to join and also the one who gave me a chance to learn teaching in his school.

I know alot have been said about him as a teacher, him as a person, him as a judge. But the bottomline is that he is still the very first person whom i met right at the beginning as i was discovering my passion in singing, in performing, the very same person who gave me a chance to be part of the first single in Music Clinic. The very reason i met so many great people like Calvina, Shiyu, Tony and all the xiao luo luo's like Justina and gao chao, fengzhen etc. So i am very very grateful and thankful for it all and hope that you all can support this concert of his. =)

Ok, finally(for real), thank you all for defending me on my tagboard. Actually, sometimes i secretly thank these meanish pokerish taggers for flaming me on my blog. Because the comments that pour in to go against these insults are always alot more overwhelming and gives me a chance to see how much support i have from you all. Thank you so much... so so much!

And to reward you all for reading such a long post without falling asleep! I give you... PHotos! (Ee... like that can? Not so boring right? )


Melancholic me...staring out of the glass windows from a nice quaint
upper level cafe fully equipped with a grand piano and a talented singer cum pianist.


Yummy dinner! As always!

Looking slightly juvenile in the mickey ears...

Looking extremely juvenile is carrie yeo, she went mad and flicker crazy in toon town. Haha, But i'm not posting too many photos here because i know she's got one heck of a post coming along. So i leave her to do the honours... =)

Woah your description of the pain is good man.

All the chemicals seeping through deep down to the roots of your teeth, tingling feeling thats like an electric shock, the kind of pain felt when drinking something too cold, feeling tingly when cold air flows past the teeth.... Made me feel like i'm feeling it too sia. Haha. And, i have a dental appointment later in the afternoon! Argh.

Oh ya i think the SONY comex exhibition is at Suntec Convention. I'm helping out there at my dad's booth...but i'll definitely try my best to sneak out a little while to catch your performance. Hah.

Alright, hope that you recover from all the discomfort quuuick. Jia you and practise the songs well enough to put up a more than commendable performance ok!
