And so it has begun

Health is starting to creep up on me. I can tell that my body has slowly stop producing cells as fast as it was. I can feel now that the peak of my life physically has now passed after the age of 25. After my muscles have shrunk, I can feel my skin starting to whither and my vices are taking its toll over my body. It is rather ironic in a way being a human being. This battle against trying to pro-long death is continuous.
But one cannot think that way...wisdom, love and happiness neutralises this effect. I have started to understand that my vices (such as a sweet tooth) is only triggered by certain things like stress and pressure. I did come across an article whereby junk food is craved by junk food. Once you start with chips, you feel like coke, and then you feel like ice cream and then back to wedges...and it keeps going and going! Thankfully I listen closely to my body, and for that I have open myself up to different kinds of organic food like mushrooms, capsicum and onions, natural dressings and these food really completes / cleanses me in a way...hmm, some philosophical thinking.
Anyhoo, it doesn't stop the truth from going to the dentist yesterday. I have gum disease known as periodontitis (so I think after a small research on wikipedia) and its apparently common among us Asians (but D doesn't think so). Now and know why it IS a problem if you are bleeding while you're brushing...gosh, that took a while. Not only that, losing your teeth is painless...OMG, I never knew that too...Anyway, felt like it was like ground hog day, in a way that what my sis got told was almost the exact thing that was told to me by a different dentist.
Funny that. Am wondering whether these doctors not only memorise medicines but scripts on to talking to people. I knew it was coming because I was wondering how come some areas of my mouth were more sensitive to cold food and not others. So yeah, I think I know how I eat now in a way that some areas are more affected than other. Half of the back of my mouth and the bottom front are affected so far. Thankfully, I still have got the other half of the back of my mouth for cold stuff. As long as that is alive, I can still devour to my all time vice: sweeties...mwahaha
In other updates, there was a birthday / farwell and I finally visited my cousin at last :) . She taught me the passion of being a chef and I'm so proud of her. Always proud to show her off to my friends because 99.9% of the time they will go 'woooooow'. Hehe. Must grab more tips on cooking next.
