I am typing this post at 1130am on a Monday. You must be thinking, wah this Claire so shiok ah don’t need to go to work?
Shoo that thought of yours, I wish I can just work from home forever however reality always sucks. So I am on 1 week MC and why am I on MC? Because I went to do my wisdom tooth surgery last Thursday.
Didn’t plan for it. Wasn’t prepared for it. Nearly shit my pants when my dentist told me that he’s gonna do the surgery for me in half an hour’s time. Well actually he said 15 minutes but the clinic assistant scheduled me half an hour later. HENG AH.. Not that heng afterall.
Anyway let me share my boring routine this week first.
Monday, 26th January 2018
I was very determined to eat lesser and to maintain a clean diet throughout the week. Hence I had a really light lunch, had tea session too and ended up feeling SOOO hungry the whole day. I think my period is coming which explains my hunger. Daphne had to offer me snacks while we were walking to the station after work. YES SO BAD.
I didn’t know there’s banana snack from Osaka too. If you are wondering which one is better, I would say Tokyo!
f
This one taste like the traditional pig shape moon cake you know, yah interesting.
For dinner, I had Asam Laksa! Bought this from D’Laksa in Compass One. $3.50 with not much liao.. except tuna.
The guy asked me if I want to pack my noodles in a separate bag and I don’t know why I didn’t say yes. I ended up eating noodles that are close to being soggy.. But still shiok lah.
I rested awhile, checked my social media and I wait for Simon to come home before unboxing my snacks from Lotte Mart! You don’t need to worry about not bringing enough bags to Seoul for shopping! You can just get a box from Lotte Mart and pack it yourself! Super convenient!
These seaweed are for my colleagues one.
This one is quite expensive eh.. It’s about 15 bucks?
Pack souvenirs for my 2 friends at work also!
Then I proceed to film my video!

Early morning I went to pantry to see what snacks did Chee Wei brought back from Okinawa. I was thinking of going to Okinawa in June but I think Simon cannot and plus WE CANNOT SPEND ANYMORE ALREADY. We already confirmed our trip in November and the budget that we set is about $7-8K so now we have to control.
Some of my colleagues also brought their leftover CNY goodies to the office and I am totally addicted to the Popiah Skin! Can’t stop at all.
I had cheesecake in the afternoon. This was made by Daphne’s MIL! At the rate that I’m going, I will become a pig soon. But in a way it’s good lah because I got unlimited food to eat at work hahaha.
Then I also tried this Bourbon Matcha Snack and I don’t like it. Sorry Chee Wei.
Oh forgot to talk about lunch! I had Meehoonkway (less kways).
As for dinner, because I really need my vegetables so I went to try my luck at the Caifan stall downstairs. Sigh.. Some of the veggies really cannot make it sia.

Today is lohei and buffet day!
I wanted to have a lighter lunch so I ordered Lontong!
My ahma used to bring me to the market every weekend when I was still a kid to eat lontong. I remember the lontong I ate back then was really nice lor. Don’t know why now cannot find nice lontong.
I didn’t finish my lunch because it wasn’t that nice and it was cold. sigh.. But good lah got more space for buffet later.
About 4pm I guess, I started looking for food again.
But I don’t really want to add on more calories so I went to make drip coffee!! Spend about 30minutes to make this cup of coffee LOL!!
And then slowly count down to 645pm for the lion dance to come and then lohei and lastly dinner! Already so hungry I bth liao. At this point of time I was like can I go home and work instead. zzz. Den my friend said my ig stories very entertaining, thanks ah. I quite bullshit one most of the time.
Daphne also send me this photo where I was tiptoeing and she said I look like a kid at a candy store HAHAHAA. I just love how long my eyelashes looked here!!
And fast forward to dinner!! You should try Chilli Api catering for your company events!! The food really sedap man! It’s halal by the way! Got smoked duck, mee siam, satay chicken, potato croquette, prawns, seafood beancurd, chap chye, rice, gula melaka nian gao and lemon grass jelly!
Check out the spread!
Wah the seafood beancurd and the smoked duck really THE BEST. I kept going back to take more smoked duck, buey pai seh one.
The mee siam so so only.
As for the dessert, I still don’t know what is peach raisin.
The 3 of us walked to the station that evening cos we were so damn full from the dinner.
Thursday, 1st March 2018 WISDOM TOOTH SURGERY DAY!
I should have known that it would not be a good day today. The rain was super heavy, I was drenched, I was hurt and my fingers bleed. How sway can I get?
The previous night I was asking on IG story if I can ask for MC from a dentist. Some of you said yes some of you said no but nevertheless I’m thankful you guys even reply. Thank god for IG story and thank you guys for tolerating my nonsense.
So I called Q&M Seletar Mall at 12pm to ask for an appointment on the same day. The appointment was 230pm and I can’t wait to find out what is wrong with my teeth.
Well if you follow my previous updates.. I think I mentioned that my tooth had been aching for awhile now. It was getting worse and also causing me to have headache.
So fast forward to the appointment, the dentist said that my teeth looks okay (I was like heng ah don’t need to do root canal can save 2k) except that the GUM IS REALLY BAD (need to pay 200 for gum treatment) AND THAT MY WISDOM TOOTH IS IMPACTED (WISDOM TOOTH SURGERY!!!)
I wasn’t ready for the surgery and I was already trembling LOL! He said the cause of my toothache could be due to my wisdom tooth and also because of my gum.
Sorry people don’t see I look very clean on the outside, I actually haven’t clean my teeth for 4years. :X Okay don’t judge.
Dr Su helped me with the gum treatment first and it was actually really uncomfortable.
Dr Su also added that wisdom tooth surgery is not that scary as it sounds and I will be fine after a few days. Nobody told me that I am putting one leg into hell leh.
I had to eat lunch first before he can do anything to my tooth so I went to Song Fa Bak Kut Teh, finish the whole bowl of rice, all the 3 spare ribs and a bowl of youtiao.
Panic already still care about calories meh?
I wanted to eat the fish and fries from Mcdee one lor. Suan liao..
Went back to Q&M at 4pm. Time to face the reality.
Everything was done within 30 minutes, I went home after that with a numb face and a week of mc.
My mouthwash and medicine.
This is me after my surgery. Face still looks sharp.
30 minutes later at home the jaw starts to swell already.
At night I cried because it was too painful. I can’t handle the pain.
I also made a huge mistake because you are not suppose to drink with STRAW. All the sucking might cause the blood clot to dislodge and you will suffer from having a dry socket. They say the pain is SUPER PAINFUL ONE. Maybe this is what was happening to me.
I was really miserable I will blog about this in a seperate post.

I don’t look like myself anymore. Double chin showing and all.
I had campbell’s instant wild mushroom soup and it was so SALTY.
And for lunch I had Maggi’s Mashed Potato with Mushroom and it was not too bad.
then dinner was soup spoon and I had mushroom soup (again) and he had clam chowder. I actually asked Simon to get me clam chowder but I suddenly recall that the clam chowder from Soup Spoon was not that good.
Sigh I want to be able to eat normal food soon. I want to eat the popiah and soup from Souperstar!!
I had to spit out some of the mushroom because they are too big.

Simon had to attend a course at his new workplace. So after that he bought this for me. The japanese instant vermicelli soup or something like that one which costs $7.60!! Expensive!
I tried one of them and it was pretty salty leh but he doesn’t think so.
And here’s my face today. Very swollen! Even Daphne thought it was very swollen.
Simon bought me fish porridge for lunch and I only manage to finish 1/3 of it. I think it was too bland and I don’t really like fish porridge. :/
For dinner we went to Texas chicken and I had mash potato and he had chickens and curly fries. I did try to eat a little meat but very xingku la I give up.
To make myself feel better I bought Koi! My recent favourite is the Black tea macchiato!
Then we also went to Fairprice to get more soft food for me and since I haven’t step out of my house for 2 days already I kinda went on a rampage!
He wanted to buy the lychee liquor but I managed to stop him.
I bought This instant bean vermicelli thai soupy thing, the brand is Kaset.
The Samyang hot chicken flavour ramen stew!
UFo fried ramen – flaming hot seafood!
Hosen fruits in syrup! Now they come in smaller size!! So good! Just randomly got myself a rambutan pineapple one even though I can’t eat this yet.
Then this KOKA creamy soup with crushed noodles! 2 dollars leh not cheap I think.
And more jellies for me! I love Naspac jelly cos damn old school and got nata de coco! You eat this before? Which one is your favourite? Alot of people like the mango one but actually my favourite is the lychee and honey melon.
Anyway we set a budget of 50 dollars for grocery shopping every week and we were overseas the whole of last week so it’s quite justifiable la. :p

The japanese instant soup.
I also start to do some spring cleaning, throw away alot of makeups and stuffs because in order to clear my mind I had to clear my space first. Previously when I was clearing my bedside table I found my gachapon and it was filled with mold. I thought the inside won’t be affected but I was wrong.
If you read Tokyo Ghoul you would have known who is Arima. He is MY 2ND FAVOURITE CHARACTER IN THE MANGA! He is so handsome!! But now he’s moldy already of course I have to throw away right. zzz
For lunch Simon pan fried egg tofu for me. I eat until I want to vomit. too much tofu hahaha!
Then dinner I had craving for salted egg chicken. I KNOW RIGHT. So I asked Simon to bring me to go eat at Fernvale Lrt kopitiam. I have been wanting to try this dish since I move to Sengkang but I only manage to try it now. And NOW I mean during my recovery. Seriously bth myself.
I would have love it more if they could give me more sauce lor. But to be honest this one really nice lah.
Simon ordered the venison meat rice and these 2 dishes cost 15 bucks leh!! Quite expensive hor? I blame it on his choice. Confirm the venison more expensive right?
And last stop at Watsons to stock up our hand soap. Promotion 2 for $3! Cheap!
This is quite a week I tell you and I was told to remove my wisdom tooth during my next appointment. Hell no I shall wait.
Anyway it was also good for me to stay at home this period, I had alot of things to sort out and work on.
By the way guys, thank you for reading my posts. I am really happy that you guys follow me from my old MFP blog to here and are willing to continue to read my posts. :’)
Till next!
