Tooth

i broke half of my left front tooth quite a few years back when i was in secondary 4 and i filled up the offensive looking gap twice (the most recent time being 2 years ago). as much as i would like it to hold for as long as possible, it felt a bit loose recently and i actually wanted to check it out soon but it broke even before i could go check it out. i was having a basketball friendly in NTU and an elbow came smashing into my face when i was on defence which left me with half a tooth once again.

it's only through this incident that i realized what people actually look at when they're talking to you -- your mouth. maybe the people i always talk to are standing such that their eye level's at my mouth because on the very night i broke my tooth, every single person i spoke to when i got back to hall noticed that my tooth broke.

good thing that i managed to get to a dentist without making an appointment the next day, if not i'll be walking around looking like some "ti ko" (pervert) or "ah beng" (gangster) for a few days until i get root canal and crowning for this bloody tooth.

looks like a small gap? think again.
