No More Wisdom 再无智慧

Singapore

新加坡

As those who have read my previous blog post, "Wisdom", know that I only have half of my wisdom teeth left.

看过我上一篇部落格《智慧》的人都知道,我只剩下一半智齿了。

I risked everything to maintain this vanity of having a complete set of teeth (including wisdom teeth).

为了保有这所谓完整的牙齿(包括智齿)的虚荣心,我是拼了老命。

Wisdom teeth are really hard to maintain!

智齿是真的难保养!

Tormented by a toothache to the point of being unrecognisable, finally made a painful decision and cut off the Gordian knot.

被牙疼折磨的不成人形,最终痛定思痛,快刀斩乱麻。

Today, I have finally become completely devoid of wisdom...a person without wisdom teeth!

今天,我终于彻底失去了智慧…变成了一个没有智齿的人!

Without my wisdom teeth, will I lose my wisdom too?

没了智齿的我,不知会就此没了智慧吗?


Demanding the return of the wisdom teeth that were executed by the dentist.

向牙医索回被执行死刑的智齿。

The reason for wanting the "corpse" of the wisdom teeth was to torture them.

要回智齿的“尸体”是为了要凌迟它们。

The two slightly yellow teeth on the left are their natural colour.

左边两颗略带黄色的牙齿是它们的自然颜色。

The two slightly milky-white teeth on the right are the colour I got after soaking them in bleach.

右边两颗略带乳白色的牙齿是我用漂白剂浸泡后的颜色。

Really do not understand why human has to grow these annoying wisdom teeth.

真的不明白为什么人类要长这些烦人的智齿。
