dentist day

Today is my dental appt again... Well, i was on time and dentist was delayed by previous patients again. Today, I told him that i observed that my teeth is moving towards the left... something that i observed for a long time. I thought he know but he was surprised... *upset*

I dread every morning waking up in braces... it thinner upper lip and slightly pouty... I dun think that's pretty... With my unobservant dentist, i think the improvement is gonna be really slow... *big sigh* How long must Hus have to put up with a pouty and ugly wife? *upsets*

dentist also pierced my lips with a broken wire tdy... there's a slight swell on my upper right lip, it'll definitely result in an ulcer... *upset* you take good care of everything, you do your best for your teeth to be moving at optimum speed, but dun get co-operation... *sulk*

*BIG SIGH*

It's my Birthday TODAY!!!

I wakie wakie naturally today cos i have an dental appointment and because NUH is like 10mins away from me. 9.30am appt is GREAT!

Gotten enough sleep on a dreadful thursday!

It's a sunny birthday, i think the sun is back to stay, despite the surprising torrential rain recently. August is still the sunny month i guess.

I was so domestic last night, i started cooking since 7pm, but i dint finish in time for Hus' return still. He usually reach home at 10pm...

3 freaking hours!! what could i be cooking?

I make Jiao zi from scratch... from flour to dough to stuffing to shaping
I like Jiao zi as much as guo tie, but it's not easy to find a good one in singapore, i got the recipe from Janice and started doing myself... It's not too difficult but too much work.

i haven try eating it myself, after i tried, i'll let you know if it's worth the trouble. *bleh*

================================================================

Tell you abt my dental appt, my dentist is probably in a bad mood again. he's also panicky... sigh, i was so scared, bcos when he was panicky the last time, gosh, i knocked my teeth, gum and everywhere with his tools(strong, metal tools)... i've got a bruised and bloody mouth after that.

Nothing much was done, because my supervisor dentist is not here, so he dint change any wires, except remove the 2 blocks on my molar. I'm so grateful already... *gratitude eyes* I can bite normally again(although not so normal), i can have ika sushi... hooray!

Friday!

This is lunch for the Friday...

I’m sleepy but really excited. It’s finally Friday… Tonight my driving lessons start, and daily for the whole of next week until next Friday 20 July which is my exams… Please pray for me, that I might get license and ease many pple with my skills. Then I can bring my pre-believing little cousins to the new Sunday school in FCCS… *great idea*

Last night Hus came back from his camp, to bring back some stuff and to sleep on the comfy bed. Although I was thrilled when he first told me abt his return, I wasn’t behaving normally when he got back. There was a little awkwardness suddenly. Like I dun really know the man standing at the door, the mannerism displayed was weirder than friends.

It took me a while to adjust to having him around again. I love having him around, cos he cut a humongous mango for me. It’s not like I dunno how to cut a mango, but I can’t cut it as nice as he did; and that mango is so huge that I couldn’t really hold it properly in one hand. It’s really nice to be pampered again. It’s also nice to not have to wake up alone.

I spoke little last night; he was feeding me with all the fun that I’ve missed out in his camp. Hus really love to hang out with his army friends, enjoys talking to them and talking about them. Even more, his army life… What a proud and happy soldier I have with me.

If sg were to go into war, I might be the safest woman around, but most slightly bored cos Hus might really leave me alone to battle it out with his garang friends. Girls come over to my place, to seek refuge and have FUN in the midst of war! We can enjoy salivating at the sight of muscled-soldiers under camo faces. *slurp*

*girls, I think men sometimes like us quiet and be listening. So give them time to talk to us before we shut them up forever. Please reply in unison, “YES MADAM!”*

==========================================================================
Something about my dental visit yesterday… Yes, I got out of my green rubber bands, but not the 2 blocks… *big SIGH* My dentist was satisfied with how my teeth have been moving, but his supervisor wanted to push for greater improvement since my teeth are doing so well.

I wanted to treat Hus to sushi tmr when he break camp, thinking I could be biting better. BUT… no, bcos my teeth are doing well. Sounds more like a punishment right? That was the 1st disappointment. Then the 2nd came…

My dentist says “your teeth are getting so nice and straight already, it shouldn’t take too long before we can remove it.” Then I asked when would it likely be, while I was waiting for “before December I think” (if you remember, I hope it to be before my wedding anniversary), he answered “maybe after Chinese New Year” but he quickly changed it to “mid next year” just in case he over promised.

So that was his not-too-long, while 1 year actually means too long for me. He said it really excitedly while I was a little disappointed. No pretty smile on wedding anniversary, and Chinese New Year. I’m gonna scared Timmy away when he comes back for a visit. Braces monster!!! But Linda’s boy would be okay, cos he’ll still be too young to realize the difference b/w me and the rests.

I sorted out my thoughts while I was on my way back to work. Since my teeth are so co-operative, it might still shorten the time. I’ve already spend 7 months with it, and Hus has gotten use to his ugly wife. A few more months should be ok as long as the 2 blocks are going to be removed on the next visit.

With proper dental care and less striking colour rubber bands, I’m determined that it’s not coming out next July, BUT EARLIER. All in all, I am happy that my teeth are co-operative in this and becoming so much straighter. Keep it up; we’ll be over this soon! *cheers*

Dreadful Wednesday

This is Hus' newest time-consumer... He puts up with a dirty home for this. His business venture... Check out: www.scubadirectory.com.sg/store ===================================================================

I’ve got my 1st ulcer from braces. My lip got abrasion from smiling, now I have to stuck wax at the root of the problem because the ulcer cause my lip to swell a bit hence made it easier to rub against the raw ulcer.

The ulcer is a really small one, but there’s no pain on earth that’s comfortable right?

My teeth are straight now, but there’s a gap on the upper left. My bite feels funny, maybe it’s because of the 2 blocks of “clay” ref: http://dreyslittlethings.blogspot.com/2007/04/my-teeth-hurt.html

I’m going to see my dentist again next week. Couldn’t wait… I’ve been keeping these sets of wire for 8 weeks. He said he had a months’ break which I dun believe he really have to put me so far away even with the break. I think he dun like me… he’s rather impatient with me, if he’s not biased against me, then he’s not a patient dentist (which is worse).

Next week, he’ll definitely be taking out the 2 blocks cos my hidden tooth is now in line with the rest; although it’s not sitting properly. I really couldn’t wait for the removal of the 2 blocks. I can eat most of the things easily again. Now I’m only chewing at that 2 points, so I dun enjoy ika sushi especially. Texture and taste is gone. That’s why I got the food poisoning in May, I took a long time to realize the ika had turned bad. Though not ingested, the long chewing was enough to put me at home for 2 days.

I dun wat will be done next. It’s probably to close the gap. Mag says he’ll do alignment until it can be removed. It sounds like a short process right? But Mag’s alignment took her a year. And of course to change me out of the green rubber bands. Gross… I dun like this green, and when I chose it, I dint know I’ll have it for 2 months. These been through Granny’s wake and the moving house and the announcement of en-bloc, etc…

I hope that time can pass really really fast …

======================================================================
My Weird Tummy Cont… - “Un”weird!

I think it’s almost back to normal. I dun think I’m pregnant le. The nauseating decreases quite a bit after I skipped a days’ meal yesterday. This morning slightly; by lunch almost nothing le. Although I get the headaches but that’s normal when I’m expecting my period end of the week or next week right?
*Phew* yeah!

Am I so resistant to the idea of having a kid?

I'm not exactly... But i dun like the idea of forcing it upon Hus. Since he's not ready, we're not ready.

I love children; and i'm sure i will love to have it with Hus... and i'm not aging any faster than him so if he's not anxious, logically i shouldn't be. right?

Thought of the Blog:

Ideal women wait for their men in tears and prayers during wars... the truth is usually otherwise. ;)

It's a good day for me!

Let me begin with last night, I was alone at home and i was very hungry so i decide to prepare myself something to eat. It's the 1st time i'm cooking for myself in my new house, clean and modern and clean kitchen...

very clean because Hus spent the whole morning cleaning it... thanks!

This morning, when i arrived at work. I've got cheesecake... Although i'm not a fan of cheesecake, i like surprises... the cheesecake is from Hilton hotel. Very cheesy, very! I think Hus will like it but nope, i dun really like it. Can whoever who send it, Pls give me other types of cake next time. I like fruit cake especially mangoes... Love those with chunks of sweet mangoes k? But Daddy will say that the silliest pple like fruit cakes because they normally use the least fresh fruits to make the cake...

BUT I LIKE IT ANYWAY!!!

My boss has left work at 3pm. I feel as if i'm leaving work earlier too. Early dismissal on a Friday, feels like long weekend!

It's Hus' birthday today, his colleagues also got him a cake. He's very happy, he's happy enough to text me abt it. Isn't he very cute? I'm sure he has colleagues that he likes very much, that's why he's spending so time at work. :p

Lastly, my hidding teeth has moved quite abit, it's no longer a over-bite. It has "crossover" to the bite correctly(top over bottom). Although it's not straight yet... as long as there's progress, i'm very happy.

I hope i can get out of braces soon, i feel like an ugly monster... that scares pple away. Can it be really soon? Mag says the next step would likely be aligning the mid lines... Will that take very long? Can it be before... DEC?

So much for Beauty

Finally the day is coming to an end... I have this huge BIG FAT headache, most slightly because of the strain in my teeth. The deduction has come from the past experiences... sigh...

♥♥ Hello Weekend ♥♥

Just 20 more mins, we're off work and welcoming weekends. Finally, waking up NATURALLY... Isn't this routine tormenting? Week after weeks, we're waiting for the weekend breaks but the painful truth is, we desire PAYDAYS just as much... not quite an irony but a sad truth...

I'm going for a Sizzling Hot date in a while... Muack. Let's enjoy the weekend and leave the sad truth aside until we know how to deal with it before we head ourselves into depression. :p

My teeth is moving fast!

It's been almost a week since i've visited Doc Kelvin. And my teeth has moved alot although the spring coil looks useless. I think my hidding tooth (for those who know me would know it's on the left Incisor) should be pulled out by the next visit. But Doc has scheduled it to be 6 wks away from last friday.
I think the space now is enuf to pull it out already but... I HAVE TO WAIT... sigh... I think the wire is still moving the molars now, but i dun think it'll still be moving after 2 wks... So it might feel like an ultra useless 2 wks... Wat to do? tight schedule for Doc Kelvin...

I hope the rest of the teeth won't be pushed to grow apart for

the next few weeks... I hope to remove the braces by dec,

cos it'll be my sis' wedding and

my 1st wedding anniversary... That would be really nice...

Y Y

Hus

A good start!

i woke up to a good morning, i slept at 9pm after servicing my face with deep moisturising mask... Gotten more the 8 hrs of sleep after a day's work(after 3 hrs sleep and hangover). GREAT!

I just got to the office not long ago from another dental appt. I'm in braces for the 3rd month(started on the 19th Jan 07).
My dentist, Doc Kelvin Koh, took out the mold of my teeth and he was quite surprised and he told me, “look, your teeth has straighten a lot.” I was told that adult teeth usually took a longer time to shape, I’m glad my teeth hasn’t grow as old as they should be.
While the wire-changing process tdy was very painful. Cos it’s a thicker wire and stuffing it into the molar brackets requires a bit of strength. I could feel blood in my mouth due to the tugging and pushing. Kelvin remained composed, So I thought it might not be a big problem, when he instructed me to rinse my mouth so that he could cut away the excess wire.
I did as I was told, the amount of blood I spat was alarming. Like I just did an extraction… It’s all good now. The modules now are purple in colour. very strong purple cos I hate the bands change colour after curries. Btw, I work for Cadbury Schweppes… that’s why I draw the link.

A reward for a simple gesture

On my way back to office, at the train station, there’s an old lady who’s troubled by osteoporosis (bad hunch). She’s walking with a stick towards the stairs cos the escalator is a up-riding one, so I walked up to her and said in hokkien, why dun you take the lift(elevator) which at the middle of the platform. She was touched by that gesture of mine, she kept saying “thank you for your kind heart”…
Deep down inside I felt good and I know that the elders love kind “youngsters”. Though I’m not longer young, they still think we’re youngster cos we dun hold a kid in hand, wears noisy heels and coloured hair. Hee.
So I would wanna encourage other youngsters to be kind and courteous to the elders, they WILL make your day!!!
