《무브 투 헤븐》+ first jab of Moderna vaccine + PotaTOHs’ lunch @ 黑轮食堂 & Wunderfolks Tarts for LL’s 50th birthday celebration + insertion of titanium rod for dental implant + resumption of aerial yoga & pilates +《我们的故事3：沉默的年代》+《어느 날 우리 집 현관으로 멸망이 들어왔다》+ making of crown mould + dinner with Alina @ Aburi-En + MIL & Nancy auntie’s visit to PotaTOH’s
Many people raved about《무브 투 헤븐》(Move To Heaven), so I had to watch this drama.
“We will now help you to
begin with your final move,” 한그루 (탕준상) would always start off with this whenever he
begins his trauma cleaning job. An interesting new aspect to audience from the
point of “trauma cleaners”, a company started by그루’s dad한정우 (지진희), who sadly died at the end of episode 1. The
20-year old teenager with Asperger Syndrome was supposed to have a new
guardian, an ex-convict and estranged uncle조상구 (이제훈) of his.
The duo, together with their
neighbour나무
(홍승희) continued
to help many “clients” of “Move to Heaven” company, and그루had the knack to uncover more just by looking
at the dead’s items. Each individual story was touching on their own, right up
to the last, which was his dad’s encouragement and love for him.
I didn’t exactly brawl my
eyes out like my biology teacher, but I sure did get so touched that I cried several
times while watching the drama.
탕준상acted
so well!

21/6/21 Mon: PotaTOHs had
simple udon and mhk with fil’s dumplings, napa cabbage, carrots, and onion eggs
for dinner~ shiok!
27/6/21 Sun: We had the
braised meat left-overs from yesterday for both lunch and dinner today, with
additional chicken wings to it. Potato put some salt on top of the bitter gourd
for a bit, because it was said that the salt could suck the bitterness out of
it, and then washed it for cooking. He fried the bitter gourd slices with eggs,
but it turned out very salty! We soaked the dish in water but it did not help
much either, so ended up throwing away the bitter gourd and most of the eggs
haiz.
28/6/21 Mon: Went to Dr Winston
Tan’s clinic at Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital to insert the small titanium
rod in between the gums for crowning. The amount of anaesthesia used this time
was less than the last when I had to do surgery for the screw, and it took less
than three minutes for him to do a small cut and tighten the rod in. *Now I
can feel the visible titanium insert in between my pre-molars haha.* Guess
the cost is already included in the whole surgery package, and after a week or
so, I can go back to Koh Dental to finish up with the crowning. *Lesson
learnt too late… take care of your teeth from young if you want to save
pain/trouble/money for these unnecessary procedures!*
29/6/21 Tues: Resumed aerial
class and we only did stretch and conditioning work mostly in class. *Glad
that my brother has found a new job.*
30/6/21 Weds: Felt that the injection site was itchy and I realise a big red patch at the area. I googled and found out that it's "Covid-Arm" that I have, apparently nothing to be alarmed about. I had two other small and itchy patches on the inside of the elbows the next day too. Thank god these went away after about three or four days. *I'm mentally prepared to them again after the second jab.*
Was vacuuming
my place when I heard someone talking next door and the sounds of keys. I opened
the door and I saw Angela and Boyd, our new neighbours! They just collected
their keys and is here for defect checks, so they took a look at our place as
well for some renovation ideas. *Expecting them to move in in September or
so!*
*As usual, the
appraisal is a let-down for me. Granted, I should be appreciative there is even
VB pay-out, but one just could not avoid the sinking feeling when the result is
unjustified.*
PotaTOHs caught《我们的故事3：沉默的年代》on Netflix.
The setting is in the late 70s and 80s in Singapore, so there were many CG scenes that depicts the old buildings, roads and cars etc. As usual, the characters question the government, of “keeping mum”, of lots of policies and “what seems to be the way” in society.
Not bad. Will catch part 2.

2/7/21 Fri: Returned to
Pilates back-care class with Jean after more than two months… I can feel that
my core and abs got tired more easily than before lol. *The moves were
targeted and tough too.*
*Finished the Business Chinese Translation Skills test… awaiting the certification yay!*
6/7/21 Tues: PotaTOHs had
KFC for lunch because it’s International Fried Chicken day and there’s
promotion to their 2-piece chicken meal for two ($10).
Went over to my parents’
place for dinner as usual but Potato suddenly felt unwell when he got on the
bus. He had no appetite when we were about to eat and felt nauseous, but
luckily he felt better as he ate more, and was fine after he went home. He
thought it could be due to the sugar rush after finishing one and a half cups
of coke in the afternoon.
Did one tough move during
aerial class that worked the core quite a bit… I cannot lift myself up steadily
at all haha.
7/7/21 Weds: *Can’t trust
the timing of buses on “MyTransport” app at times.* Went to Koh Dental for
my final stages of Osstem implant and the usual cleaning. Dr Lee first screwed
a longer rod for me to take an X-ray, chose a shade of colour for the crown
before making the blue mould for both the upper and lower teeth. She said all
those would go to the factory for them to do my crown, and I would return in
two weeks’ time for the cementation and to fix my crown in. *Luckily, no
more surgeries anymore for the rest of the crowning process!* Dr Lee was
kind enough to point out to me to be gentler in flossing my teeth (and no more
interdental brushes except for pushing food out in big gaps!), so that it
doesn’t pull on my gums and hurt them.
Finally~ it’s been a year
since last July when I extracted my rotten pre-molar via surgery ($380 deducted
from medisave, $80 via cash), waited for the wound to heal and then decided on
Osstem implant, whereby I had to go thru two times of surgery to insert the
titanium screw and rod for the crown to be fixated onto. *However, I’m glad
the procedures had been pretty smooth, and both Dr Lee and Dr Tan were absolute
experienced professionals whom made me felt at ease throughout.*
Though it was said that for
the Osstem implant itself, the cost would be about $2800 in cash (another $1250
via Medisave), but in reality, because of the materials used in surgery, CT and
x-ray scan, moulds etc, I estimated, Medisave aside, that inclusive of 7% GST,
I forked out near $3600 in cash for just one tooth (and Tooth No.15 now I know…
from the receipt lol). Will it be worth? I hope so, but I have learnt a good
lesson from this for the burn in my wallet: take good care of the teeth and go
for bi-annual scaling and polishing. *Forking out $80+ every half a year is
a good investment compared to the pain and extra spending if one don’t
diligently look after their oral health.*
*I was feeling good and bought 4D “2434” but never strike haha~ that was the amount I paid for for my visit to Koh Dental today lol.*
PotaTOHs bought the Maxcoil mattress and bed frame ($788) for Ian from Unisprings, shopped at Daiso and Excellente supermarket and had dinner at Pho Street that I craved! I tried their new dried kway teow with prawns, pork, and quail egg set… fragrant prawn soup they have. Potato has his usual dry vermicelli set.
It was 12+am and I heard young people talking loudly at the playground right outside my master bedroom. Got up and saw a group of them seated there, but I could not see clearly if they were wearing masks. *Even if so, they are not allowed to gather in a group of more than two now!* I was hoping they’d go home soon but damn they stayed till 2+am! I was tempted to call the police a few times, but I thought I’d give them a chance. However, no more second chance the next time towards inconsiderate people. *利人损己。。。我睡不好。*
9/7/21 Fri: *Pilates class was cancelled without informing students. Tsk.*
But slowly, I realised the whole drama revolves only around lovelines and nothing else. *Cannot stand pure “romance drama” at this age already… that’s why I stopped after watching three episodes of《我亲爱的小洁癖》too.* I fast-forwarded many episodes because I found it boring. What a disappointment.
