I came across your article on the gold teeth capping trend on your blog and found it really fascinating. I have been reading several of your blog entries and I really do enjoy your personal anecdotes and history narratives.<br /><br />I am currently doing a documentary series on the topic of local stories from all over Malaysia. I would really like to get in touch with you in regards to documenting this gold teeth story in moving picture form as I feel more Malaysians especially the younger generation, should be aware of such interesting cultures that's coming from all over Malaysia especially from the Sabah and Sarawak region.<br /><br />Sharing here is the link to some of my works just to ensure that this is not a scam or spam.<br />https://vimeo.com/lauralow<br /><br />My email is laura.low.jia.xin@gmail.com.<br /><br />Please do drop me an email and I can further explain the project with you via email.<br /><br />Really hope to hear from you soon. I really love to tell this story and I think it would be such a great insight into the early dentalcare and healthcare system in Sarawak.<br /><br />Regards,<br />Laura<br /><br /><br />lilrappohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18375189879594116926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765555411888082127.post-40052704493916242822014-03-30T21:11:58.405+08:002014-03-30T21:11:58.405+08:00You are welcome.

So I only ever knew her with gold teeth. As a child I loved my mother's smile but did not think her gold teeth were out of the ordinary, especially because her mother - my grandmother - also had them. Such nice memories.Matildahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04517061163533597505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765555411888082127.post-90720008283600060412014-01-11T16:06:57.596+08:002014-01-11T16:06:57.596+08:00Thanks for your comments.

He played dead, and kept still even when people tickled him.<br /><br />I went Alamack when I read about your mum's teeth being pulled out. One of my maternal aunty too, had also her teeth extracted because they didn't look good. Gee!!!!!<br /><br />Sibu dentist of yester-year, my Dad had a sarawak Scholarship ( British colony) to study in London, before he went, he had a dental check up. The dentist was to extract one bad tooth. Turned out, he made a mistake and extracted a good tooth, so it ended out with two teeth. A joke in our family. Imagine the court cases today of malpractices.<br /><br />I owe my complete set of my own pearlies to Dental nurse, Miss Chew. She returned from training in NZ, and because she was my dad's student, she got me to see her quite early. Turned out, I was the best model, I didn't finch or scream. So when a student was afraid of her, she would send for me to have a demonstration. I remember one girl my junior would scream and scream, and I thought it was quite stupid of her.<br /><br />Any idea where that Miss Chew/Chiu, daughter of a Dr Chiu,, step sister of my classmate Danny Chiu is? what about Danny?Ann, Chen Jie Xue 陈洁雪https://www.blogger.com/profile/04399207312968010460noreply@blogger.com
