Wheee.. end of May!

Argh... such fine start of June
it must be psychological, but june
gives that empthatic feel that makes me feel so console
someone/something notices just how hard May is 
Thank God it went by.. 

This morning i text some of the people i so cherish, 
sending well-wishes & offering some luck for the good ol'june
PaperStop in particular, offer no condolesence as she advise how
she detest the month of june, only to look forward to July 
The irony... we women refuse to grow old , 
but we cant wait to finish a year either!

The past weekends has been fun-filled
thou i cannot put into words the elements that had made it so fufilling
i spend the entire week within inches from the boyfriend, 
who have notice how i am such a major huge fan of his fanclub.. (
i am the only member too)
We spend friday playing tennis with his workmates
whom i have now seen as friends that are real fun to hang out with
Tennis wasnt as successful as the other times, 
and my back-hand... man that needs some serious tuition
The atmosphere at The Swimming Club was really cosy, 
So much so we are hoping someday in the near future
we can join membership with a club equally fun, 
just chilling the weekend away playing sports, eating delicacy & utlizing the facilities available
The kids are equally amazing, 
there were at least 3 failed attempts to keep the balls within the court, 
and each embarressing moments sees a kiddo running up to the court, with a ball in hand and smiling through their empty teeth brackets, 
with the heartwarming "here's the ball you've threw out"
At one point a kid, with his crowd of "hide-n-seek" friends cheering him on
ran into the court while we were playing, 
gets on his feet & uses a tee he was holding to grab a frog that was leaping around... 
man.. i was terrified of frog, but i am attracted to watching him catch the frog too... 
childhood... i bet they had their best. 


We spent the friday night at my place, grabbing supper,
feeling guilty over eating supper then falling asleep immediately
how not to get fat?!
The next morning we left my place early to town
cos bbbb was dying to catch a movie and so he book F&F6 the night before, 
for an unearthly 1pm (unearthly cos it was saturday!) in The Cathay
really amazed by his planning thou, 
we aint the couple you see spending $$ in town on a regular weekend, 
most time we are too petrified by the crowd
and too embarress by the past-fashion pieces we were wearing, 
did you even see those trendsetters dress in Scape? 
man.. those kids, where do their money came from?

Weekend in town is rather refreshing for a change, 
we had a little argument during mid day, 
resulting in our overlook of carpark timing, 
by 6.01pm bbbbb suddenly muttered "shit", took out his iphone
saw the timing, and said "let's grab dinner in town"
haha.... owning a car in Singapore is difficult,
imagine trying to leave by 6.01pm, only to realize any timing passed 6pm is consider "per-entry" charges
so in short, we spend saturday evening walking from Doby Ghaut over to Bugis street to grab some amaze-balls Thai food at Purvis Street
Then doing some random shopping at Bugis Junction, 
before grabbing some Rocher Beancurd 
then walking back to Doby Ghaut to head home. 
All that in a day, with the big-shot car just sitting nicely in the carpark, 
and that seat cost us $8.12, more than regular cinema ticket. 
... car have a better live indeed. 

Then come Sunday, we were awake bright & early to head over to Luminous Dental for my monthly review. 
This time bbbb had fix an appt to get his basic polishing & check done. 
My time with the orthodontist was shockingly short, 
i took about 1 minute running out of the room to seek bbb's advice on the band colours... 
then running back in & almost running into Dr. Kevin (who turn his back to realize i was missing from the dentist chair.. haha)
2 minuties & his amazing skillful job later.... i present my new color band.. 

i do really like this set better than the previous one... 
bbbb prefer this better, it makes me look happy most time
we had both agree to do a red/orange the next time round... 
perks of looking like ugly betty. 


Did i also mention in my attempt to resemble Ugly Betty i have also set on getting my full-perm done finally
here's my inspiration

i love love love Linna Li's hairstyle and haven't stop adoring them since finding her instagram. 

i wish my perm would turn out half as good as hers

and that would also meaning the current hair reconstruction will have to be doubled up (i am already on :-

- hair mask once a week, 

- hair condition everyday, 

- hair leave-in condition every morning

- hair serum after blow dry every morning

- hair oil after serum every morning

- hair night leave in condition

and can now foresee myself doing more than this lot after the perm... 

Sunday afternoon was spent running errand with bbbb's family

helping his sister prep for her wedding of the year.... 

everything's almost set and her planning are coming into place nicely. 

this is a properous year for bbbb's family as they prepare for 2 weddings now & next year.... 

they are likely to be busy at least till the next wedding is over. 

Once we were done helping out... i drag bbbb out to the multi storey carpark *(against his strong whining).. 

and we spent a good hour washing & scrubbing his car.. 

very satisfied with the result... now all's left is to spark his interest in car wash.. hahahaha.... 

we were dead beat by the time it was done, 

 i really really really like resting on his chest listening to his heartbeat... i dont remember much of our afternoon nap but bbbb told me i refuse to let go of his hand, even when he wanted to get up for a quick relief.. In bbbb's word, when he return from his pee trip, "your hand was searching through the empty bed for my hands and i stood there watching adorable you look" ...  

Looks like my sub-conscious has found her other half too :) mad happy... !!

Apologies that my weekend hasnt sound like the best you've heard... i had so much things to recall & recollect as i rest on my bed after heading home yesterday. The week ahead looks promising even before it begun last night.... 

It's going to sound boring by now but i am going on a road trip 

to malacca (again!) with bbbb but this time, 

i have my entourage of The Chngies (my brother, sister, mum & dad) with me.... 

it's bbbb attempt to introduce the land he always visit to my family and i cannot wait for it to come soon!!!!

Here's to 5 more days of weekday before the weekend i look forward!!! Cheers!~!

The sunken feeling

Been feeling rather out of sort today, 
mainly stuck with toying the idea of playing the business out of the box. 
I've been knocking my skull so hard trying to figure out what else i can do 
to make SS work, to make it better, to make SS glow. 

It's the budget i've been trying to keep within (not the cost price of the stocks dont worry)
All that extra budget needed to advertise is like a stone throw right into face (more like my pocket)
Sigh, perhaps i should explore finding more ways to fund this dream i am building. 
Gotta keep working, saving & pulling the strings tighter on other stuff. 

and then there is the problem of the medication i am feeding, 
the unneccessary weight gain that ive been keeping to myself 

i am really thankful about the consolation everyone's been giving, 
and i am not sure if it's really the medication that has attribute to the weight gain. 
BUT i'm pretty sure i've been exercizing more than i can ever do (and eat way lesser than i ever did thanks to the braces)
i wouldnt want to accuse Mercilon, afterall the side effects that were rumoured to take place did not happen.
Perhaps it's really the excess food i've subconsciously fed on while sleep or sleepwalking... 

Been texting besties alot more than i did, 
glad to be keeping in constant contact thanks to the variety of communication network. 
She's a real doll to hang out with, 
and her endless supportive cheer-me-on keeps me going strong. 
So thankful to have the friendship going strong for the past 13 years, 
i must have been lucky to have been rewarded with so much goodness this life :)

And there is the man who is ever ready to hear me talk
i could go on for days on the same old topic that he never understood (think shopping, woman obsession with shoes, politics at work) and he will nod in agreement, understanding. 
Though he will never be good with words to cheer me on
This man is a gem, because he thinks and sees what i am trying to say, but he cannot translate his response to them in a way we can both understood. 
But he never stood me down, he could jump his thoughts straight to the summary "as long as you dont regret what you are doing"
and that was all i really need to hear, someone to stand by me when i feel like i was ready to jump off the cliff, 
this man, this gem, is mine:)

I know my mish-mash of thoughts is getting harder and harder to put into place,
i'll never stop for a second to take a breather, 
the brain just works all day long. 
I want achievement, i crave for it so badly. 
and right now i have all the backing i need, 
that is all that i will need to keep me going on. 
all i can say is, with bbb's acknowledgement, 
my family's silence support, 
my best friend's constantly checking out on my progress
my cousin's supportive backing
i have nothing to fear, absolutely nothing. 


well... except for cash, i need cash support, so i am exceptionally glad to be working & working in an environment i can accept, 
where the colleagues are especially nice, 
and their partners are equally cool. 

i'm tempting to leave the buzzing city for a while, 
and i cannot wait for the long vacation in October 
bbbb and i will head back to the very place that tested our
endurance for a lasting relationship
we will explore new places in the old town we use to stay together
i am praying so hard that SS will see the light by October, 
because deep down i am pretty sure i cannot spend
fifteen days away from this red dot & completely leave the business alone. 
i do want to give myself a break, especially with this vacation i so craved for, please let SS work by October. 

sigh.. all that sunken feeling is back here again... i', signing off.. 

Today i feel like blogging, thank you for reading my aimless blog entry :)

I've always been a fans of silly, unrealistic romance novel where the male lead went through all odds to win the female lead's heart, and they live happily ever after. Whoever thought, that at age 26 i'm only a self proclaim fresh-working adult who had only bid goodbye to graduation last year?

This year has seen me passing each day barely realizing the night is falling, i have been picking up on my running regime in preparation for more line up of runs happening past mid-year. The most significant run will be that of the Race-Against-Cancer, of which i'll be taking part with the support of the next man i lookup to  apart from Dad.    i dont see myself as a survivor but i want to preach the feeling of having gone through  the torment of living in fear only to face up to it so boldy & confidently, that it no longer matter :)

Perhaps it was the luck i had with me that day, after sharing with the running team at work about my intention for the upcoming race, i have alongside me, the precious support of 4 more colleagues who will jointly race against time on 24th july to compete for the company's team race.    It all started with something so small and insignificant, and now i can look forward to the race in july to celebrate "against Cancer" and to share some bonding moments with my colleagues who are so supportive towards my "mission".

Also in the thanksgiving line (everyday is thanksgiving cos i'm cool like that) is the special support from the friendship that had stood by me for the past 13 year. Few days back we celebrated Sharon-besties' 26th birthday and i was caught dumbfolded after counting the years with my finger/toe nails and finding out we've been the best of friends for half our lives.     It's never easy trying to make a relationship last since both parties have to make the effort, so i find making a friendship last much much more difficult, as with all other more important things in lives like our life partners, our family and our goal/target/achievement. I wanna do a shoutout to my bestest friend Sharon for being amazing at 26, for being my listening ear and always assuring me it's us two against the world.    Thank you for making the world extra special by standing alongside me, for braving my health when i needed support, for putting aside more imprtant things in your life when i needed you more than anything else.  Thank you for assuring me times and again that i matter still, when i had crazy thoughts that there were someone else in our special friendship you replied & encourage me not to think that way, and that you know and feel the special bond that i felt towards you too. 

Thank you for including me in your future plans, for allowing me to reserve my slot in your business plan, family plans and life goal. I wouldnt be telling you confidently that you are my bestestest friend, if you didnt gave me that courage & permission to do so!

This period of the year really wasnt my best, i blogged about how i hated may, in 2006, 2009, skip a few years in between trying to lie low because i couldnt face them each time it happened. I still hate May, no denial, but i know better than to wish for the bad to come, i only wish for it to be subtle, and if some miracle allows, to have may the most amazing way i could have hope for.   So far it had been pretty happy, having divert my attention on things that does not concern myself/

Maybe, just maybe, the month of May is for me to care about the others? If so that i am glad to say i have been doing good :)  There are many good news in line for alot of people around me, and to protect their interest i can only send my well wishes in silence :)   you have no idea how happy i am for all of you

Sometimes, a small part of me still think about the people who should no longer matter, how is she doing? does she remember the past sweet past we use to share, i still have her to thank for the lodging i so desperately need when i was studying for my university, we love talking over booze at her room just planning our future. Some friendship are so vulnerable calling quit is easy. 

All that mish-mash of thoughts are bombarding me right now, and writing them out on this blog will be irrelevant especially if i cannot tell you in sequence how they should be sorted out.


Today i feel like blogging, thank you for reading my aimless blog entry :)

Pre-braces journey

Hey guys,
so i have been acting on my 2013 "realistic" resolution to my best effort. One of this is consider the toughest of them all journey - the braces journey.

So i have been contemplating the idea of getting a straight set of teeth for a long while now, and thou everyone else has been talking me out of the idea, saying how my teeth looks fine, i just cannot push this pass my checklist.

thanks guys, i know my teeth looks fine & everyone loves me the way i am. but let's hope this stubborn personality of mine pays off and the teeth did indeed look like the way i have visualize it to turn out.

So having spend alot of time trying to research about braces & prepping for the big day, i have come to learn that there is only so much there is to search online.  Therefore, in order to help those who might be keen on embarking on the braces journey in the near future, here is my account of this once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Date: 25 march 2013
Having heard from bbbb's friend, Lao Kong about a friend who works in a dental clinic, i seek Lao Kong's help to enquire with his friend Jessica about getting my braces done. She was very helpful to provide me information on the payment & procedure with the dental clinic she is working at. I was advice the journey will cost about $3500 over a period of 2 years.  Dont be alarm by the large figures needed for this procedure, try convincing yourself the payment is broken down & spread over 3 years, so for the first year you are only expecting to part with a tiny tiny portion of your salary. I fix an appointment with Luminus Dental thanks to Jessica's help.

27mar2013
i ponder on the thought of tapping on Medisave to pay for the braces, i know the chances are slim but it was worth researching for some exception. I log into google & learn that braces are not claimable under Medisave scheme, with the exception to extraction of wisdom tooth that might/might not aid with the braces procedure.

I also manage to search on some reviews of Luminous Dental with whom i will be engaging for my braces. You can find some comment here , very limited thou.

29-30mar2013
i started breaking the news of getting my braces done to everyone around. They were skeptical about it, but provided support nevertheless.   bbbbb was the best, accepting how braces means the wedding plan will not take place anytime soon, but he render me full assistance nevertheless, i am extremely grateful for his support

31mar2013  - this session cost me $0
bbbb drove me to Luminous Dental located at 26A Chai Chee Lane, the place is not accessible by train but it is a good walk from bus stop B84011, so this information was helpful.

My first consulation was with Dr Lee, he was a friendly man who was discouraging me from getting my braces done if i had plan on getting married. His humor comfort me alot, and after looking through my teeth he made a few comment

irregular alignment when i smile

1. there is only 3 (instead of the usual 4 teeth) at the bottom row of my teeth
2. The bottom teeth is larger than everyone else probably because of the lack of one teeth
3. looking at the center 2buck teeth, you will soon notice my nose is not align correctly & slightly shift to the left
4. My upper teeth fits the lower teeth at 100% perfection, this does not mean it is perfectly normal. If you look at a usual set of teeth that everyone has, the upper row of teeth will slightly protrude outwards while the lower teeth is fitted right behind the upper teeth (like the image below

Conclusion? with a perfectly align upper & lower teeth, once the braces goes up, you can expect both my teeth to  protrude outwards, creating a super large gap in between when i smile. i wont be able to talk or pronounce correctly!!!!!   my solution now will be to remove some teeth to make space for the teeth to be align correctly

pretty acceptable alignment of both teeth from the right side of the teeth

misalignment of teeth on the left side. if you notice carefully the teeth filling that is black in color is pretty obvious here, i have since got it change into a share of white.

Dr Lee suggest i get an x-ray done. We also took pictures of my "before" teeth profiling. 

6april2013 - this session cost me $150

head down to LeMint Dental to get an x-ray of my teeth done

x-ray of my skull & teeth alignment, you can see my lip & chin in a slightly opaque shade

1. notice how my upper teeth & lower teeth are perfectly align ?? :(
2. Also notice how my chin is trying very badly to protrude outwards in order to match the teeth alignment.
3. btw.. the ring shape thingy u see near my ear are not earring, haha no jewellery allow during x-ray, its the tool they insert into my ear to get a scan

1. the front profile of my teeth
2. the slightly white portion are the teeth filling i have done over the years
3. my wisdom tooth in the right are grown inwards, but the x-ray review this is safe & can be kept the way it is
4. i have an extra tooth (that i never knew off) growing inside the gum of the left upper gum, no action done on that as long as i dont feel any discomfort

16april2013 - this session cost me $300

went down to the dental clinic to meet Dr Lee, who give more insights of my teeth, it was decided i was going to remove only 1 teeth thanks to the missing teeth at the bottom center area.

Met another dentist & he was a humourous Dentist who gave a brief introduction & assure me i was going to receive an MC for today (thank God, i didnt want to part with anther annual leave). I told him briefly that i was fearful of the pain, he agree to put numbing cream on my lips & gum before giving me the anesthetic jab, i dare tell you the anesthetic jab was painless (thank you to the review that warn it will hurt like shit, thank God i am super positive).... the Dentist clean up my teeth a little, slight discomfort as i could feel the machine on my teeth, not too long later i could no long feel my left lip & teeth.... 

after the cleaning i was told to gurgle some water, this was probably my most embarressing moments ever!~ basically because i could no longer feel my mouth, i was spilling the water out of my mouth like nobody's business, it was really hard to gurgle & spit the water out within the small frame of the sink i was told to spit into, 

sorry i had to insert this in..... it was funny not be able to feel your lip... the whole time i was drinking water after i was done with th extraction, i spill them out....     At age 26 & not drinking neatly certainly makes me feel weird. 

this is my molar that i have remove, the slightly less gore looking version... it is actually quite large & long with a pointy tip

gauze on the gum that couldnt stop bleeding for the first 4 hours... Now all is left are some blood here & there when i gurgle

Did you notice the separator place inside some of the teeth?   The agonizing pain it brings till today, at this point (i hate the pain.. argh)... the separator trying to push each tooth apart is unbearable (well it is bearable cos i am still typing this away)... i now have to get use to eating soft food when hungry (and still endure the pain of every chew.... tryiing hard to get use to this... )

well that is what have taken place till this point. My next appt is on 6may2013, where i will finally put on the metal braces (that will cost me $800, marking the end of the biggest payment ever!!)

I will continue to post update of this journey, hope you haven freak out  after reading so much... my pain level is only on the scale of 3/10 so far (the extraction is 0.5/10, painless lah!)
