the entry about filling in the blanks and getting retro

if it's anything, it's been an extremely busy day that i was almost short of dying from breathlessness. but i only have my own idiocy to admonish for addressing less pressing issues together with the more pivotal ones. the house was on fire and yet, i was worried about the kitchen sink. nonetheless, other than verging on asphyxiation, it has indeed been a rewarding day.

they say the eyes are the windows to a person's soul, but to me, a winsome smile is the way to prevail upon a person's heart. being called gap toothed or madonna-esque isn't exactly complimentary, though some might disagree. "keep it", some of my friends remarked, "that's the unique thing about you". i beg to differ. if you guys hadn't noticed thus far, here's how bad my gap-tooth predicament is:


my unsightly, huge niche for morsel reservations


after much contemplation and sourcing around for cut-rate, quality dental service, i finally decided upon valley point dental clinic @ valley point to fill in the blanks, literally. the dentist in charge was doctor ashim dutt, and he explained the procedure carefully, which was termed composite bonding. basically, the approach was to smoothen out the edges and fill the cavity with a tough, synthetic resin. the resin is impregnated with inorganic fillers and matches the shade and color of the teeth. the entire procedure was a laborious hour effort but thankfully, he was extremely meticulous to ensure that the end result was exactly what i had expected. if any of you guys need cosmetic dental surgeries, do look him up. seriously.


doctor dutt (pronounced as "dud"), the dude


the ever congenial nurse mas


using a dental saw to smoothen the edges before using the fillers


cramming more dental equipment into my almost gagging mouth.


carrying on...

on 12th dec 2008, i committed the cardinal sin of utmost tackiness. andy lau was in town for his asia leg tour and being offered free tickets, i decided to give it a shot with acute circumspect. i guess going to an event with no/low expectations has its fair share of benefits after all. the singing veteran turned out a good performance instead.

thumbs up to andy for making a concert with most of the songs unfamiliar to me a very intimate and entertaining affair. the entire set was tight and elaborate with a lot of emphasis placed on choreography and stages props. this, coming from someone who didn't have a dancing background (according to my friend barbara), completely bowled me over. of course, the cursed fans shouting through the roof certainly helped wrecked my hearing.



choc-a-bloc fillings and cyalume galore


a little s&m action: andy lifted up with quaint robes.


a music video of andy in his heydays.


confetti factory meets chang-e's


an enthusiastic fan with light sticks in tow


countdown to encore


the two extremely adorable mascots that turned up
during the encore, coupled with helium voices


so much fun that andy decided to join in the bandwagon




after the much better than anticipated concert, i made a mad dash for the exit to the next venue for a friend's birthday party. happy early thirties birthday, willie! thanks for the great time and the alcohol. the following is a tribute to you.


guess who's the birthday boy and who's the playboy?


now you know the who's who.


tongue-and-cheek: the ever effervescent, ethereal x-tin


liking truffles much? look up julius the truffles maestro


the new macdonald's spokesperson: mr. pierre goh



more party folks.


the man who can't be seen


mr. incognito and i peering into some zany crystal ball.


a little more cam-whoring.


nights out. see you guys at zoukout 2008, part-ee on!!

Anonymous said...

kOoKy pLuM said...

hullo... eh where is the after photo? u show the before but no after? lol

iruffcookiedough said...

(lucky daily) i think you really need some therapy in check. you're one seriously screwed up screwball. get help.

(rex) somehow, your comment is always second place, haha, but still, thanks for reading and commenting on my blog ever so frequently.

like you said, this is before the zouk out, so the following entry will be on zoukout already.

(anonymous) it's from topman, and i am sure rex knows pretty well, cos he said he has the same replica.

iruffcookiedough said...

(huiying) thanks. at least she's not totally topless, but i totally am buying the concept of risque pictures on tees now.

(kp) the ones at the willie's party are the after photos already. i just thought it wasn't so necessary to be to in-yer-face about the post-surgery pictures. besides, a close up of my wide grin (the before) is good enough to upset one's stomach, let alone two.

Haha! Can't imagine that you actually took the first photo that way... And the amazing photos with the doctor working on you... It really shows your effort in wanting to update your blog readers. =)

And the poor tai-tai oblivious of the young, charming stalker who sat in front of her and took her picture. LOL! =p

I hope you remain blogging this way. =]

kOoKy pLuM said...

Happy new front teeth! I actually didnt notice until you mentioned it in your blog!

iruffcookiedough said...

(awlt) nope, i don't think he's malay, but he's from malaysia i hear.

(763092) oh, was it actually mean to take a photo of her that way? i just thought she had this nonchalant expression that looked quite funny that's why i added it in.

we all have that expressions from time to time yeah? thanks for appreciating my efforts anyways!

(kp) puuuurrrtyyy? what's that? and is it in a good way?

(leo) i was debating about blogging it but i decided that since it was quite a darn good job, i should help the dentist promote his business. he did give me a fairly good discount when i promised to blog about it too. hehe.

Rex said...

duh... now then I realise my front teeth smash a little part... omg.
i am not hardcore la. only heart for e kueh-mueh only. haha~ I saw lempah udang at bangawansolo~ XD

Des, u really enjoy photo shooting. Very impressive with the dental treatment part. If me, sure close my eyes and keep praying it can be done asap.

I really don’t like it when they put dental equipments in to my mouth. :(

Well, perhaps he finally got across about living behind a screen and decided that going out scaring lives outta others would be better cheap thrills. After all, it's pretty expensive to come online - missing all the real eye candies on ECP and ORchard.. ah well..

Kudos to all of us, we probably made 1 more soul happier in life - at his expenses as well~ hehehe. You guys be sure he'll include us in his thank you speech when he gets married or jailed. Des - you can't ran away definitely after being the conduit for this extravagance of verbal barrage.

Merry X'mas~

(rex) lempah udang?? isn't that uncle sheng's (pierre png's) favorite nyonya snack?

(no name) i just wanted to make sure that it was well-documented. after all, a picture speaks a thousand words. so nuff said from there. =] hope you enjoyed the reading! =]

(piggiewiggie) refer to first post. basically, it's the same ball-less, gut-less person. notice the grammatical similarity?

iruffcookiedough said...

(anonymous with lotsa theories) i am pretty sure he's gonna be back again some time soon, the question is when. i hope you have a great christmas too! i'll spending mine overseas. =] where you ask? read and know. >.<

(baldovin) heya, welcome back. you're not having a fun life because you are learning a trade which will make you really rich if you're truly good at it. i might be having fun but my pocket's emptying by the minute. not a good sign!

(ian) it wasn't cam whoring as much as reliable photo-documenting. =] noted, about the pictures. ^^

iruffcookiedough said...

(piggiewiggie) i would lurve to see some sandbag action....!!!! *applause in advance*

piggywiggie said...

Na bei that fucker still alive and really ball-less ! Change nick to hide is it ?

Wah lau, should have known, then yesterday I would have smacked a few more times on the "xiao ren" effigy at the temples.

Ok la, I shall not sand bag him so hard this time since Christmas is coming must have spirit right ?

So to Anonymous aka Ugly or whoever you psycho-pathetic are :
Fucking season's greetings to you, may you learn your place in this world and respect the dicks that you get slapped by.

God bless you.

iruffcookiedough said...

(piggywiggie) oooh... that sounded a little harsh wasn't it, but i guess he really deserved it. anyways, you said it in the spirit of giving, so i guess that's fine. =]
