Jaws

I'm not talking about the movie, I'm talking about my own. Glad my jaws are in place now.

It actually happened a few months ago, the very morning after our ROM while having breakfast. I have no idea what I was munching, but I guess it must have been something real hard to cause a sudden pain in my left jaw that felt like a sprain or crack. The pain lingered for a week or two before it gradually went off. But recently, I don't know why, but it came back. And these 2 weeks I've been suffering in pain engaging in my favourite activity - eating! (what were you thinking?) Munching my daily apple was the ultimate challenge, every bite feels as if my jaw was going to come off. I could hear cracking sounds when I yawn, and believe me, it even hurts when I sneeze (and it didn't help to catch a flu at the same time). I was so afraid it has already dislocated and even tried doing acupuncture on face to see if it helped.
So last week, after I finished my internship, I asked laoshi to help me check. And after examining it, she says it's indeed out of place and so she used her hands (with gloves of course) and put it back in place. Scary it may sound and I was actually expecting it to be done with a sudden and painful jerk, but she took only about a minute or two and it didn't hurt at all! No wonder patients queue hours and celebrities come in from the backdoor just to see her.
And guess what, all these while I thought it was a problem with my swollen wisdom tooth/gums because everytime I close my mouth, my top left molar land on my bottom gums, but now I can close my mouth properly without biting any gum! OMG, I can't believe I was living with a misaligned jaw for months!

And guess what was my first meal after getting my jaws straight?

Tada! Our long-time-no-eat frog porridge!!

See the skeleton of the 5 poor little froggies? haha

I guess I'm still generally in good health, but weird things happen to me, like I've a protruding tailbone which makes it impossible to do situps on hard ground, or had a backache from bungie jumping, or very occasionally suffer from a bout of restless leg syndrome in the middle of the night (go google that), or went hospital to take out a stuck fishbone or to dig out my ingrown toenail.

Now I have every right to tell my kids next time "if you cry too much, the police will come" and "if you eat too much, your mouth will break!"

Ok, some happenings of the past weekends: booked our honeymoon trip during natas! Italy, Switzerland, France, Belgium and Netherlands! (standard and not-adventurous I know) and super kiasu, I know too, but super looking forward to it! Decided to sign up for a package tour, since it's our first time to these countries and we didn't want to worry about finding accommodation or looking for directions or stay in lousy rooms because it's our honeymoon!!

And look what cheeky got from Comex!

Believe it or not, he only paid for the camera, the rest are ALL freebies!
