Top 5 Quotes from my Dentist

I should have gotten my teeth done years ago. I should have taken better care of my teeth, of course. I know prevention is better than cure but its too late now so today I visited the dentist today. It was an appointment I set 2 months go. It wasn't the most pleasant trip of my life but at least I got some life-inspiring quotes from the dentist and her assistant. Here's the top 5 quotes I managed to get while my teeth are being drilled. Or cut in half. The pain is the same.

Number 5
"Bukak mulut.... Saya kata bukak... Bukak....."

Number 4
"Tolong pegang ni jap? Letak dalam mulut." *continues to drill tooth*

Number 3
"Ni kalau student bagus ni jadi case study... Lengkap semua masalah gigi. All-in-one."

Number 2
"Kenapa tak pergi government dentist je? Ni kalau pergi private buat consultation pun banyak kerja"

Number 1
"Eh muka budak ni macam Aqasha kan?"

My next appointment is on the 28th. Wish me luck.

Amir Blummenfeld's Valentines Day

How many words would it take,
to accurately express what you mean to me?

How can you scientifically quantify,
how much lighter I become when you enter my day,
or how heavy I feel when you leave?

How can I describe,
how my smile just appear, magnetically, when I see your face?

How can I possibly count my thoughts of you,
when I think of you so constantly?

As thoughts within thoughts within thoughts within thoughts,
makes it impossible to remember when one began,
and the other ended.

Time folds into itself,
As I am already nostalgic for our future,
and look forward to our past.

For the rest of my life,
I love you.

What is an artist?

" what do you think an artist is? An imbecile who has only eyes, if he is a painter, or ears if he is a musician, or a lyre in every chamber of his heart if he is a poet, or even, if he is a boxer, just his muscle? Far from it: at the same time, he is also a political being, constantly aware of the heartbreaking, passionate, or delightful things that happen in the world, shaping himself completely in thier image... how could it be possible to feel to feel no interest in other people, and with a cool indifference to detach yourself from the very life which they bring to you so abundantly? NO, painting is not done to decorate apartments. it is an instrument of war."

How to replace your CIMB ATM/Debit card

I lost my wallet a few days back and I went to CIMB Bank to replace my ATM-slash-debit card. The process is quite easy if you know what to do. I was being quite a bitch with the counter lady because I missed on a few steps. Sorry.

First, call your bank's service centre to cancel your card. Do this no matter what. Do not risk anything. CIMB customer service number as of March 2012 is 1300880900.

Second thing to do is to keep in mind where you first made your ATM card. Your card has some sort of number unique to the place you first applied for it. They'll call the place to get that number.

The most important thing to have is your replacement MyKad, or the temporary one as well as these documents:

The things you need are

TWO of these five supporting documents
- Passport
- Birth certificate
- A letter of validation from your learning institution
- Driving license
- Your matrics card/student ID

(I'm not quite sure whats the procedure for those who have their actual MyKad with them, I think you still need to bring these supporting documents)

You just have to bring them. The bank itself will have a photocopy machine. If they don't, maybe you should consider changing banks.

They'll ask you to fill up a form and basically thats it.

The process is not too lengthy, depending on how quick they can get your number from the originating bank. Of course you have to wait for the other people who were there first. Try going to the branches on the outskirts of town. Its usually faster.

So yeah, I hope this post saves someone from any trouble. Sorry you lost your bank card. Thanks for reading :)
