Woke up at 12 something midnight as my tooth / gum was aching.
I took one big Panadol Actifast.... didn't work...
Gargled / Swirled around with Listerine ... didn't work....
Flossed ... didn't work ...
Then I remembered, 'warm salt water'!!
Swirl with warm salt water!
Did the trick - back on bed at 3.00 am.
Trying to be very gentle with 'tooth / gum' today.

Passing of 2 Kim ....
My 2 Kim passed away on Friday. She was 66.
Definition of 2 Kim, Wife to my Mom's younger brother, 'second' son of the family - thus the '2' Kim, in short, an 'Aunt'. I remember learning to memorise title of each and every aunties / uncles, now that I've grown-up I realise all these numerical + titles make so much sense! We, Chinese, very clever one, indeed!
Imagine instead of Auntie Julie, we say 2 Kim, immediately the whole 'family tree' comes into the picture. No need to explain how A and B are related. In short, keeps nosy strangers very happy .. :)
Anyway, back to my 2 Kim.
Am I close to her?
I don't know. I feel close to her with her SMS'es'.
(She was very good at texting and her use of SMS abbreviation puts mine to shame! Honestly!)
When I was having my chicken pox, she sent me text message on 'what to do or not to do'. I like her SMS'es', they were lovely and sweet.
However when in person, I do not even know how to start a conversation. I tried then I gave up. I just let it be, thinking that there will be 'one day' . My only regret, I should have tried harder.
Again, Am I close to her?
Considering that I imagined in my mind SMS'ing' her when my pregnancy pass its first trimester ..
I guess, we are 'sort-of-close' .. through data frequency ...
Rest well 2 Kim.
