The Girl with Big Teeth

Who is this girl? It’s Rebecca! Who called her that? The dentist at our primary school! =)

Yeah, it was a nice joke hearing it from her over lunch this afternoon. Her brother Amos was having lunch with us too.

After hearing this joke, I thought back to my primary school days and realized how fun it was to receive this small red card telling me to go to the school dentist downstairs! I kind of like this sort of interruption… and it’s a good opportunity for me to walk around the school, while everybody is having lessons!

I remembered that I would take my time to walk down the stairs, go toilet, etc. It was a great feeling coz no teacher can scold me for wandering around, coz I was holding this dental card! Aha! Yeah, I was a naughty boy… and I liked it that way!

Ever since young, I enjoyed going to the dentist… even till this age, surpassing my mid 20s. I guess the reason why I like visiting the dentist is because it feels great to have my teeth cleaned! I like the fresh and clean sensation after every dental check-up! Just that nowadays, it is expensive to visit the dentist… and my company does not even subsidize a single cent… so I go only once a year.

Sometimes I wonder if it is more interesting to be a dentist or general practitioner. A dentist seems like a boring job to me, just staring into others’ mouth and scrapping away in between their teeth. A GP seems to have more different kinds of symptoms to diagnose. Hmm… but no matter, I am neither interested in both occupations. *Laugh*… =)
