Root Canal Treatment & Alice In Wonderland

Yesterday, WY kept his appointment with the root canal specialist at the dental clinic. The dentist checked and announced that the tooth was now fully treated and ready to be filled with the root canal filling. The permanent filling would then follow.

The permanent filling marked the completion of the root canal treatment.

Phew! I am so glad and thankful that WY's treatment had been, so far, smooth and relatively painless. This was such a contrast to the torturous treatment I had had more than 2 decades ago.

So, we thanked the dentist profusely when she bade us goodbye at the end of the visit. Really, I truly appreciated her kind and gentle handling of WY's poor tooth and her generous sharing of her expert knowledge, every time we visited her.

After the dental visit, we quickly picked up WF from his LW class (this was a special class to replace the lesson the school missed during the CNY weekend). Then we all proceeded to Great World City for lunch followed by a movie.

Lunch was at Crystal Jade. WF had his favourite meatball porridge while the 3 of us had an assortment of noodles. We also ordered 2 tim sum items while WF asked for his 小笼包, which the auntie waitress had to 打包 from the outlet 2 floors down the escalator. It's always amazing to see how WF will proclaim loudly and clearly as he tucked into his porridge, "Mmmm, this porridge is so, so, so, so.... delicious!"

The show which we eventually decided to watch was Alice in Wonderland. It was a nice mythical movie although I do confess that I have never ever read any book or story about Alice In Wonderland. The special effects were good; I liked especially the vanishing effect of the cat who could turn invisible at will. The hat-ter also looked good and somehow, he seemed very well-dressed as compared to Alice who went big and then small and then big again, before becoming normal-size again.

The theatre was exceptionally cold that day. Fortunately, we were seated at the last row, so we were spared the cold air directly blowing down because there was an awning of sorts above our heads.

We ended the day with a short grocery shopping trip to Cold Storage at the basement of GWC.

The day's programme seemed kind of mundane, but as WF so aptly summed it up as we unloaded the grocery from the car: We had our outing today, a movie outing, correct? :)
