A few things have been keeping me busy these Yuletide holidays:
1. I had a bad toothache which I ignored for fear of the dentist, till one night it became so unbearable that in my haste to find some painkillers in the kitchen, I found only Aspirin.
2. Upon consuming the Aspirin, I discover that I am allergic to the substance and was rushed to Damansara Specialist Centre (it is a very good hospital, by the way. I highly recommend it).
3. While the Aspirin provided temporary relief for my toothache, its effect eventually wore off – leaving me with a pair of badly swollen eyes and a worse toothache, and made me quite miserable.
4. So I decided, my fear of the dentist was not worth the pain. I plucked up courage and went to see the highly esteemed Dr. Kwok who advised a three step root canal treatment.
5. Today was step two of the recommended three step root canal treatment.
6. I eat like a tortoise nowadays because of the root canal treatment.
7. Rachael took me to Wendy’s today where out of greed I ordered a Spicy Chicken and three Nuggets (because of the root canal treatment, it would take me an entire day to finish a whole burger). We sat at the outdoor seating and there I met a cross-eyed cat.
8. I offered it some of my Spicy Chicken, which it received with much gratitude. But because it looked so funny cross-eyed, I couldn’t help but laugh at it. Then it scratched me. Perhaps I offended it.
The Lord has promised good to me
His Word my hope secured
He will my Shield and Portion be
As long as life endures.
