retail therapy to break the monotone of work.

oh gosh....can someone please sprinkle some magic and make my aching tooth disappear?? why didn't my dentist want to pull it out? well, i guess if my dentist is someone who pulls someone's tooth out as soon as it is in pain, he won't be my dentist for long right?

learnt a new word from him- endodontist....the person i have to go for my consultation now. a specialist in dentistry field. in layman's term, he is a root canal specialist i think. so i called the number my dentist gave, and they could only fit me in this wednesday at 4pm!!! gosh, there are so many people with tooth problem eh. sob sob sob. that means i will have to live with the pain in my tooth for few more days and my pain started on friday!! i am staying sane now with the help of pain killers. my dentist didn't want to do my tooth because he said it was a complicated problem from the x-ray which i took like 5 months ago....hence he wrote a referral to this specialist in jalan ipoh, kl. if my tooth can be salvaged, i will be thankful. i guess the worst case scenario is to have that tooth pulled out and then....wait for tooth implant. seriously, i am not going to let there be a gap there ok. it is money i have to spend. uwaaa!!! money!!! hahaha.

my april's salary is almost gone now....with the shopping trip i made yesterday to isetan for their anniversary sale, is it a surprise?? i need a break from work. it had been nonstop for the past 2 weeks and it is getting exhauting. hence some retail therapy and this coming week, i will be working officially for one day only. i am on leave tomorrow, going to do my passport and change the ownership of my car at the transport office in kuala kubu baru. thursday is going to be a public holiday- labour's day. friday i only stay at the office. wednesday am going for a conference. hehehe...please let me rest.

so what did i get at isetan? shoes!!! but first let's see the photos i took at harrod's restaurant. posh and fancy. but it won't be a place one can afford every week.

i went there at one plus. there were not many customers there. some people came to enquire about their scones which would be served at tea time which starts at 3. so i guess that is the more popular thing to do here?  high-tea? maybe i should try that one day.

bread rolls before main course. the service was good and the bread rolls....gosh...yummy!!!

the mocktails my friend and i ordered. slurp!

i had seafood aglio-olio. it was so-so but those scallops! yummy. sadly, i couldn't really savour this dish because of my toothache. i was only chewing on one side of the mouth and before i could chew them into really small pieces, i already had to swallow my food. any food that accidentally got to the right side of the mouth would see me wincing in pain and tears forming in my eyes. yes, it was that painful. i had been really careful these few days at meal time. i have to make sure i eat my food because i have to take those painkillers. if i don't have proper meal, those painkillers will cause gastrointestinal problems to me. sob sob. i try to minimise the intake of painkillers to once a day. gosh...please no throbbing pain that will wake me in the middle of the night. i took my painkillers after lunch today...the effect would have all worn out by now. pray!!!

anyway, i had no pain while shopping of course. hahaha....i got to isetan at 10.30 before the crowd started building up and managed to get the things in my shopping list.

facial stuff done.

a charger for the phone to be used in the car. hehee.....preparing for the arrival of the new car....but i just heard from the agent that i could only get it fastest by the end of may. such a looooonnng wait!!!!

shiseido's redemption.

4 pairs of shoes!!!! crazy right? but they are the right height and the right feet. all ready for me to head to work and won't cause unnecessary pain to my achin knees. i did not even think twice once i found my feet and the right heels. that will be the end of my shoe shopping for this year i guess.

headed home early after that as my friend had another appointment. it was a good trip overall because i got my shoes!!! hahah.

well, i also have some stuff brought from overseas.....i have my postwoman and postman.

the ribbon and box. oooohhh......la .....la. all the way from london.

keychain for my new set of car-keys ;) hahaa.....excuse eh? for the new car.
my cousin who went for a working trip in london helped me get it.

new blue bag for work. this is still in the united states. will come back in may if i remember correctly. it was 30% discount on nordstrom so i had to get it sent to the states. luckily an ex-kid offered me his service to help me shop hahaa...so kind of him.

rubber band bracelet craze is still alive. made this bunch for sale. i do enjoy myself making them but having deadline was quite stressful. all my kids have got them and i think the craze will die soon...but the kit is still not available in malaysia. my aunt just called all the way from germany telling me that hk celebrity, sandra ng was wearing one on her trip to shanghai as it was made by her 8-year-old daughter. these bracelets do make nice gifts...will make them to give away to people i care about.

 i gave one recently to a boy who transferred to a school in kl. held a farewell party for him in my house with all his close friends and what an emotional one it was. my first time organizing a farewell party and all my helpers really did a good job and the party was filled with so much laughter and tears. we had people in charge of the decoration, food, drinks, junk food, music and even games! luckily my house was not left in a wreck and they stayed back to clean up and gave my floor a good mopping. phew!

i made him bird of paradise bracelet and he wore it with him to his new school. hope he will find his flight and soar for the sky in the new place.
