SINHUAY HAS BRACES POST 1.

Like what the title saysssss! I have braces now. I still find it a little unbelievable that I have braces man. It is not something big or amazing, but to me, I have never thought that I will have braces in my entire life even though I have always find it cool. :)

In case you are wondering why I need braces. Here are a few photos of my teeth.

My problem with my teeth was GAPS. Even though it is not that obvious if you don't pay much attention to my teeth, it is something that has been bothering me a lot. I want a nice smile, instead of teeth with gaps. You see.

If you take a closer look at the photos, you will find that the gap is a little bit big. I have gaps on the top front tooth and bottom front tooth.
I have always asked my parents whether there is any solution to this. One cool fact is that I have the same teeth as my mum. She has the gaps too.

Yeah, her gap is much bigger than mine though.

Okay so, my dad was nice enough to bring me to the dentist about 1 month ago. We went to two dental clinic and decided on doing braces at the one opposite my house. The cost is around $3500 excluding x-ray which was around $100 plus.

We got an appointment for the following week and that is when we went to consult the dentist and know more about what can be done. I did xray and the dentist (pretty good looking but married) did the mould and took photos of my teeth. That's for the first dental appt.

For the second appt, that is when I have decided to do braces. He explained more about my teeth condition and told me that I was the lucky few whom have wisdom tooth that is growing perfectly fine and I don't need any extractions at all. Speaking of wisdom tooth, that day, my mum said something pretty fun. She said: I rather have no wisdom than to have a wisdom tooth. That woman ah. agh

The next thing he did, he put spacers inside my mouth.

Spacers are supposed to seperate the teeth to make space for the molar ring. I had them for like 11 days and they hurt at first. I had trouble biting and eating though, and I was pretty sad because I could't eat yummy food.

For my third appt, which was 11th April 2013 (thursday), a day I have been looking forward to because I am finally getting my braces. Yay. The entire process took about an hour. The dentist did cleaning for my teeth, put in the molar ring, string, etc and I had to choose a colour! I wanted light blue, but in the end, I wasn't sure so the dentist suggested some dark blue. AND HERE YOU GO!

GEEK LOOK WITH SPECS. YAY HUIZEE

and a photo with my friend!

OKAAAAIZ, so many photos of my face. I am glad my braces doesn't hurt that much as compared to others and I don't really have ulcers growing, only a few cuts! But the troublesome thing is after every meal, I always have lots of food stuck in my mouth and I still have trouble biting for now! OKKKKAY. CAN'T WAIT TO HAVE NICE TEETH.

It's 4.23am now. oh crap man my body clock is still screwed one day before school starts. goodnight world.

HELLO WORLD.

Hey guyssss.
Haven't updated my blog for a pretty long time and here I am, blogging a little bit about what I have been doing with my life.

Firstly, today is actually the last day of the 6-7 weeks long holidays. Time flew by, indeed. I am going back to school on Monday as a year two student already. It is amazing how time flies, and I am now a year nearer to graduating. yahoo. :) My results for the second semester was much better than my results for the first sem. I scored 2.28 for my first sem GPA which is lousy shit, and I managed to score 3.125 for my second sem. Cumulative GPA is 2.69 though. I am so far from getting a nice GPA. :(

Year 1 as a poly student was pretty okay. Whenever my parents ask me what I learnt for the past year because school fees in poly are pretty expensive as compared to JC and during secondary school days. Without thinking, I will always tell them I didn't learn anything at all. I feel like I let my parents down sometimes. They worked so hard and scrimp and save so that they can give my bro and I sufficient allowance for school. I appreciate that a lot. My poly friends kept complaining and calling me 'bai jia nv' which I don't know what it is called in English. I will take it as they are calling me spoilt brat or something because I get pocket money during the holidays. I feel bad that I spent almost all the $300 my mum gave me during the holiday each month. What did I spent it on? I really can't remember where did all the money go. Shopping? I doubt so, I don't remember shopping a lot this holidays. I will assume that I spent it all on food because if you followed me on Instagram, I am constantly posting photos of food that I ate for lunch/dinz/supper or anything.

I have always been a person who can't really bear to spend a lot of money on food because I feel that as long as I am full, it doesn't really matter what I eat. I still have this thinking now, but it is just that after so much things happening this holidays, I feel that I should just let myself eat better food / eat whatever I want to. Feel a bit guilty though because my parents don't usually eat expensive food. I am guilty that I didn't work this holidays as well. Firstly, it was because of issues with L. Followed by me being lazy because now, I have this thinking that in the future I will have plenty opportunities to work, why torture myself now?

Back to talking about school. I figured that one reason why I don't enjoy poly is probably because I didn't really participate in anything (School activities, CCA, etc). I know that I am the type of person who is always excited to join activities and CCA, but in the end, I just decided not to because I am lazy. Previously last year, I wanted to join sports but they had selections. I want to join cheerleading too because it is something new! I hope I can join it this year provided I am not lazy or anything. :< :<

This semester, I am learning a lot of Business modules. Pretty excited for it, and I really hope I can score well. I want to aim for a 4.0 GPA so that I can pull up my pathetic 2.69 GPA! School starts pretty early for me everyday and I really hope that I won't be late for school. School ends pretty early as well x.x I am thinking of finding a job maybe. My mum say that I will have to pay for my own school fees in uni apart from the money from insurance. Hopefully I can start working hard and earning and saving money.

To sum up year 1, below are some photos of my poly friends. Poly friends will never be as close as secondary friends I guess. But I hope that we will always stay in contact.

Secondly, I have been hanging out with zeezee cheng a lot! Like once a week yeah hooo. And I love spending time and chatting with this woman because we are not awkward with each other.

Thirdly, I spent time with my cousins too this holidays. Such a long time since we last went out together. It was great I guess. Managed to talk to them about our individual lives. Patrina is now schooling in a JC and Jiaen is starting school in poly next week!

I am going to do a next post now for the fourth thing.
