dental appointment at doncaster

ivy had interviews for her internship at ballarat and geelong. ballarat is about 2-hour drive away from her place in clayton and geelong is about a one and a half hour journey by car. but we first had to make a detour to pradeep's dental clinic in doncaster, bawlyn north, to have my denture fixed.

pradeep is, my monk's hill colleague, rama's son who studied dentistry at melbourne university and decided to set up his practice in melbourne. he lives in hawthorn on his own, i think. at the clinic he is known by the name dr shawn rama.

when my denture broke, i was at a loss. i contacted ivy who told me that dental, like medical, charges were very high in australia. i first thought of soon's brother-in-law, dr gong. we had stayed with him during our earlier visits to melbourne. he lives and practises in a house in kew. soon messaged back to let me know that dr gong was back in singapore.

next, i thought of getting the assistance of anu. anu is a dentist by training but she does not practise. instead, she lectures in the university of melbourne. i called nara but there was no response; then, i remembered him telling me that he was going to sweden and germany in july to visit his two other daughters. i needed to get anu's phone numbers from nara.

then ivy mentioned rama's son whom she had met when she first came over to monash to study. i called rama in singapore and he gave me his son's mobile number. i called the number and he called back. i made arrangement to go down to his clinic the next day, the same day i had to accompany ivy to ballarat and geelong.

ivy had, in fact, contacted her friend pansy, also a dentist, who was able to do the job for me but ivy could not get in touch with me earlier. since i had already called pradeep, i decided that i would go to him to have it done.

i managed to locate his clinic quite easily, with the help of the melway. this australian street directory has the addresses of the houses indicated along the roads.

this evening i went with ida to collect the denture and pradeep refused to accept any payment.
