Losing my wisdom

Brushing and flossing our teeth everyday is important but a regular visit to the dentist is just as important.  It's important to visit our dentist every six months to make sure our teeth and gums are healthy.  Not that I do that... well, I brush and floss everyday but a visit to dentist every six months? No, only when I broke my tooth which happened again recently. My last visit to dentist was on April 2, 2011, also for broken tooth.

Last Friday I visited my dentist at Red Apple Dental Clinic and got filling for my two teeth and extraction of my wisdom tooth. Before removing the wisdom tooth, the dentist gave me a local anaesthetic to numb the area where the tooth will be removed. It was a minor procedure that took only a few minutes. I was advised not to take hot and spicy meal afterwards.  Instead I was asked to take cold drinks and greatly encouraged to eat ice-cream :) It sounds great except that I don't take cold drinks :(

Grateful that I was able to go through the rest of the weekend without fever or pain.  Didn't even have to take the painkillers.

Till next week, getting used to losing my wisdom tooth :(

Breakfast at CoffeeBox

It has been announced that today, April 11, 2012, is a national public holiday to celebrate the installation of new king. The role of King is rotated amongst the nine Sultans with each reigning for a period of five years. 

The Sultan of Kedah, 84, who ascended to the throne on December 13, 2011, was officially installed as the 14th Yang diPertuan Agong with an installation ceremony and banquet at Istana Negara, Jalan Duta. This is Sultan Abdul Halim Mu'azam Shah's second reign as monarch.  His first reign was from 1970 to 1975.

Just thought of mentioning about this before I share about the breakfast I had last Saturday :) Not that it has anything to do with it.  I just watched the installation ceremony which was telecast live on tv this morning. 

After the morning walk at Taman Tasik Permaisuri, we decided to try out breakfast set at CoffeeBox.  It is located at No.24, Jalan 5/89A, off Jalan Sekilau, Batu 3 1/2 Cheras, 56000 Kuala Lumpur.
We chose nasi lemak with coffee and Nutella chocolate bun with tea.
For RM4.30 (inclusive of 10% service tax) in a place like that, it's definitely worth it! We are looking forward to come again!

Till next week, let's just enjoy this mid-week break.

Golden Ticket Invitation to Taste of Euphoria @ Royale Chulan Hotel

Last week was a stressful one so I decided to unwind with friends after work on Friday. We went to Sticky Fingers Bangkok Bistro. Not that I'm gonna share about the dinner or the place, just the invitation that we received while we were there.
It's an invitation for Beer & Chocolate Festival 2012 ~ foreign and gourmet chocolates, beers and cheese, liquor sampling, beer and coffee workshop, mixology throw down, open bar, wine pairing and more ~
What's interesting? The invitation comes with a bar of chocolate.
Not that I'm interested to go... Didn't even go so can't say anything on the event.  Just getting a chocolate without even going to the event is simply awesome ;)

Till next week, more freebies?
