Dinner at Italiannies with the girls. Tania felt underdressed because I felt like being overdressed. December 2007.

The first month of wearing braces still saw a huge gap in my teeth. But to be fair to what braces had done to me in the first month alone, my two front teeth were aligned in just about a week. December 2007.

Sharon the Ah Lian from Kluang. Hahahaha. We love making fun of her and her crazy hair. December 2007.

Flowers from The Gardens @ Mid Valley. We shouted, we fought, we cried, we made up. And we were proud of the end product. September 2007.

Was supposed to catch the sunset but I don't think my phone camera managed to get anything. Somewhere in 2008.

Eight Month

So long overdue.

As most people would know, my braces were removed in December. And I'm so not feeling my retainers.

Here's the last video I did in September before I had them removed.

Seventh month

My shortest (and most dangerous) video so far.

Kids, never, never EVER try this at home. Or in the car.

Sixth month

So overdue, I know.

I've been busy.

Fifth month

Well, fifth adjustment, but sixth month into wearing braces.



Just so that some people are not confused, this was done in May and I'm currently wearing black powerchains.

Fourth month

Technically fourth and fifth month because Dr. Huang was away on maternity leave and so I had to skip one adjustment while she's away.

Obviously done yonks ago, but I'll post this up anyway.

Right before my fifth adjustment in May.

Let me make you smile

Just because.

I love this picture. Cracks me up every time I look at it.

So auntie. So unflattering.

But so funny =)

Let me know if I made your day, yeah?

Temporary gap

I went for my fourth adjustment yesterday.

Videos later, work has been crazy.

My orthodontist had my teeth trimmed again.

Both my canines were trimmed the day I got my braces on because they were pushing on the lower wire when I bite and the orthodontist was afraid that it might break the lower brackets. So basically my canines were sawed off and evened out.

I never even knew they were that sharp in the first place.

Yesterday, after the usual checks with that tiny mirror she puts in my mouth, she discovered a black triangle.

It's between my two front teeth. As seen in previous videos, I don't have that gap anymore. But because my gums have receded over the years, even though my gap is gone and my front teeth are sitting side by side, there's still a little triangle left where the gums were supposed to be.

Solution, my teeth have to be trimmed to get rid of the black triangle.

So with my teeth trimmed again, I have a little gap that goes straight down, about a milimeter wide. It'll close in time, before the month is out.

It's hard to imagine what it looks like, but hopefully I'll have a video up before the gap closes completely.

Work's been crazy, you know.

Month number three



So what if it's four days away from my fourth adjustment?

And now you know what I've been busy with =)

Some pictures

Was looking through my picture folders and came across these.

Yes, I have a folder of pictures taken with mobile phones.

Now, I'm sure you know what this is. Or you wouldn't be here. Henry's mirror ball during a shoot for Maxis in October '06.

Some Chinese lanterns outside my former boss's house in Sierra Mas. I think the words are his surname in Chinese. Chinese New Year Open House at Khoo's Residence January '06.

Very pretty butterfly being eaten alive by humongous red ants. Ohkay, maybe it's already dead. Outside Ikea somewhere in '06.

Mei shot this on her new phone. First day with baby blue power chains. Chili's 28th February '07.

Chinese New Year decorations in Bangsar Village. They were actually a lot prettier than this. Outside the washroom near Baskin Robbins in Bangsar Village 26th February '07.

Third month

Been meaning to post updates on my braced situation. But seeing that I'd posted up a video to wish Miss Fabulous Friday last week, I have successfully sabotaged myself.

This was from Mei's new phone. She was having a grand time with it and had recorded this without my knowledge when we were having lunch at Chili's right after my third adjustment.

[I had Citrus Fire Prawns (or something with that name) and it's actually the same thing I order each time I eat there. Seriously good, I tell you.]



Video dated 28th February 2007.

I was trying to tell Mei a funny story in this video. I've watched this video 3 times. It still isn't funny.

I think I'm highly unfunny =( And my mouth movements are seriously weird.

On another note: Only 1 more week to my fourth adjustment.

Whee~

Because I'm too lazy to write

The last braces-related post in a long time.



My eyebags are bigger than my Miu Miu =(

The first day

Three days before Christmas, I got my braces on.


"But what about all the glorious Christmas goodies? Turkey dinners, roast lamb, baked potatoes, garlic bread..."



I did try to be brave and dismissed everyone's concerns.

Of course I can still eat.

Wanna see me in action?

Was in Ikea 2 hours later having baked salmon. No meatballs for me =( Everyone knows how much I love their Swedish meatballs.



Thanks Mei for the video.

10 minutes to zero hour

Wendy, this is for you =)



Yes, again, I couldn't edit the video. So you will have to end with my bird legs~

Pre-braces video post

Woohoo~ My first ever video post here.

Nokia has really stupid video functions (yes, I recorded this with my phone) and for some reason Windows Movie Maker doesn't support this 3gp file format thing.

Like, whatever.

So I couldn't edit the bits I didn't want the world to see.

But, yeah. Go ahead and watch it anyway =)



*edit* This marks exactly one month I've been wearing braces.
