The swelling and the pain levels have gone down a lot. So I supposed that is a good sign right? However my jaws are still puffy and there are parties and stuff coming up. I hope my face would go back to normal soon, even though I won’t be able to eat much solid food and drink booze

Some have asked why I have chosen this period of time to do such a surgical procedure, especially with all the social activities and bingeing sessions going on… I’d have to be honest here – I’m a little tired of work and I needed time out. My annual leave for the financial year has been allocated for my Europe trip in April and there isn’t much to play with anymore.

Plus the last dental check up I did revealed that my 4 wisdom teeth were indeed impacting my molars and will become problematic sooner or later… I’d finished up my year’s work for F1 amongst others and I desperately needed a break away from the office. It has been a deeply stressful year for me due to juggling the amount of schoolwork this entire year… and I am awfully exhausted.

To colleagues and possibly even bosses reading this – this was not some dodgy move that I pulled so that I could skip work. I’d planned ahead and informed you guys like a conscientious, responsible employee and I’d finished all my work up in time and in good standing, didn’t I? So this was it. The timing of this surgical procedure was set right after my final, major assignment. A week away from the office, just before the Christmas long weekend.

After a really challenging 2011, I needed to uproot (Get the pun? Geddit? Geddit?) a little and needed time off to reboot. Please give me that. Please.

Anyway, it’s too late to say no. My face is swollen and painful… so yeah! I have my MC and I will adhere to it.
