Here it goes - Braces

I have got myself a big birthday present. I have always dreamt of myself without this vampy/tiger/Japanese looking teeth. It has always been my 'signature' look. I have always having this love hate relationship with it.

                 

And I decided if I ever want to do this, if it's not now then when. After much consideration (mainly financial), I went online and search for orthodontist in JB. Thank God that I'm able to find one that's around 10 mins away from the Johor custom and he actually has a Facebook page! Although they do not have many reviews, but a few of good ones will be enough to persuade me to go to him for consultation. 

I went to consultation just a week before my birthday, and he was asking me if I want to extract my teeth on that day. I said no, even though I wish it to start right away but I didnt want to celebrate my birthday without my teeth! so I delayed the appointment until 2 weeks later.

I have to remove 5 teeth in order to put on the braces, 4 were removed on the first day. It was a pretty sign. I changed the cotton before I left the clinic, and took bus back to Singapore straight away, and guess what, usual traffic congestion on the bridge and it started. Because I removed 4 first premolar so the bleeding was severe.

4 cotton balls and 1 face mask were covered with blood. The cotton balls were so wet that it transfer the blood to the face mask. What made it worse? we were still on a bus that has no air conditioned and crowded in the middle of congested traffic. I felt like fainted, this was no joke. I covered my face mask with my hand, and it made the mask dampened with more blood and the whole mask (literally) was covered with blood. I will never forget how Ney looked when he saw the 'crime scene', his expression was scared and disgusted (hahaha!). We had no tissue to wipe, and I kept asking him to ask around if there's anyone on the bus have tissue who are nice enough to give it to us, guess what, he was too nervous to even ask (hahahahaha!). Thank God that there's this Indian lady who saw us and quickly past her packet of tissue to us. I'm so grateful of her, without her, I will be going through custom with bloody face. 



My face and lips were still numb and when I smile, it looked awkward (hahaha!).
                            
So, my braces story begins from here.

Being separated

Ney went to Hong Kong for business trip from today onwards for a week. I have forgotten how hard it is to be separated again. I thought I have overcame this separation anxiety from the past practices, but apparently I am wrong, so very wrong. This choked feeling from holding back my tears have been in my stomach since I woke up this morning. All these worries of the plane might go missing or crash or kidnapped or probably go into another dimension and appears again 20 years later keep running in my mind. I know I am stupid to think like this, but I could not help myself. i miss him really really much. i can't imagine life without him, yes, i am way too glued to him, this must be what they called love. okay, enough of that, i just need a space to release all these not so good energy since i feel better after writing it out. Oh, guess what, I handed in my very 1st resignation letter today. It felt right and free, I felt a huge burden has been lifted up from my shoulder. I believe the...

Short Getaway to Batam, Indonesia

Image
Every trip that we had, is always a much needed break from work. I don't know how people could work without without taking leave. I strongly believe taking breaks are healthy for all working adults. For it to be staying at home or going out of town for a good meal. It keeps you sane and help putting life into perspective. It allows you to think that work is necessary but what's more than life has to offer besides career. On our breaks, we get to just chill and talk about things.  This is our first time visiting Batam, Indonesia. It is a very popular short getaway place for Singaporeans because it is so near!  So popular that everything is expensive (in hotels), but it is still very cheap in the city.  We stayed at the Turi Beach Resort ( http://www.agoda.com/en-sg/turi-beach-resort/hotel/batam-island-id.html ), and I think it is a really good choice.  Selfie before departure, so happy that we are sitting here rather than in front of work desk! ...
