Random updates….Thanksgiving….and Braces one year updates!

Here's a random updates. I just realised one thing, one important thing….thanksgiving is actually an exercise to our spiritual minds, that is to remind ourself, on how good is God, in our daily life.

Very simple to do….

For instance, small thing, God, thanks for sunshine and fresh air that I breath this morning….

or

God, thanks for my family and friends who always love and care for me even though we are very far apart. Thanks for Giselle, too she is cute and loving girl, and everybody love her very much.

or

God, thanks for my job, although it's sucks but I know that I just had to suck it up and live a life. Anyway, without this job, I won't be able to pay my bills, LOL.

or

God, thanks for the internet! I could've died without it! I need those Vampires Diaries and Walking Dead's antidote weekly….especially streaming those anime (too) like One Piece and Naruto, LOL.

So here's the random updatessssss…….

Starting with the definition of Thanksgiving.

Last weekend, me and Giselle went to Bugis Streets to buy cheap boots, for our upcoming Disneyland trip! Come to my surprise, Bugis Street only cater fashion for teenagers or young adults (*ahem*) like me. Very difficult to find those cheap boots for kids!

Yo! Giselle with her new sneaker shoes.
I didn't know its such a difficult to buy cheap boots for kids in Bugis Street!
So i bought her this instead! Cheap cheap $20 only!

My cheap boots only $ 23.90 at Vincci Bugis Street.
errmm I don't think it's Vincci that Malaysia brand.

Nah, now talking about my braces, I think the last time I did update about my braces was like, last September?? here's the post. 

So what happened was that, I did braces since Sept 2012… now it's already 14 months and of course, I saw lots of improvements and I really happy! Really looking forward to the nice straight teeth!

Still half way more to go but if you can see my post last year, lots of restrictions , rite….cannot eat this cannot eat that, lose weight, etc…haha…thinking about that make me feel so ridiculous because in reality, I have adapted the life with braces and still enjoying life by eating all what I want! but it's just about the timing, well, that I had to manage it very well. Don't get it????

Ok, For example, if I want to eat curry or Malay Mie Rebus or something that contain food colouring….yes, I still can eat those but I'll eat it on the day of my dental appointment. So when the wire and bracket stained yellow, I can just change it the very same day :-)

Drink coffee or soda…of course I still can drink those but after drink I quickly rinse my mouth. 

Potato chips?? Not a problem….peanuts?? Ok ah I don't really like peanuts so not a problem too!

Put energy to talk properly??? I think now I can sing rap song without fail, yo! my mouth is used to the braces so no more those slipped words + embarrassment! 

At least 5 times brushing my teeth?? Nope, now I only brush teeth…morning, after eating breakfast, afternoon, after eating lunch, tea break or snacking I just do some mouth-rinsing after that, and then night time, after my dinner. So total is 3 times brushing teeth and 1 time mouth-rinsing. But I just have to make sure that I brush clean and thoroughly each time because I brush lesser. Indeed, I prefer quality rather than quantity. 

Carry those big and bulky tooth brush kit??? Nope, now I just bring my L interdental brush. That's all!

The only thing that I realised is that, people didn't  notice that I'm wearing braces until my 10-13th month of my braces journey! Holy Cow! So powerful ah this Simpliclear!

Hmmm whatelse do I have to update? Oh ya, eating watermelon will stains the wire red colour but it will come off with few rinses….BUT eating cherry…especially those cherries on the strawberry shortcake one….will stains RED forever! 

And then, my facial jaw has sunken a bit, many people thought that I've underwent fillers or surgery. I believe it's all due to braces, its really correct my teeth position, aligning it to the correct position, and bonus point is that, pushes back the jaw so that it creates more 3-D looks. Of course, 3-D looks add definition to the face and make people pretty, hehehe….

So that's the bonus point…by right, my treatment will ends next Sept 2014 but see how…hopefully can be ended earlier as I don't really mind the pain. my new revelation now, braces is like relationship, yo, the tighter the better, yo. LOL. Every time I went to dentist to do maintenance. Every time I felt my mouth so tight and sore. I just remind myself that this tightness is actually helping my teeth align to the correct position and sooner or later, I will end this braces journey so for the time being I had to, just suck it up and finish the race…..okay, that's all for today….phew…I didn't know I can type billion words, just to update my braces….thanks for reading!
