Real Friends.

Hey there! Its BCR day today - A day when Ngee Ann students (I think it's just my faculty) get to take a break from school (not the intended purpose) and participate in school activities online with the lecturers and school mates instead (the actual purpose). It's basically an off-day for me though, not sure if its a good thing because its sort of a BCR day wasted?! I originally already don't have school because my only lecture is cancelled. Oh well!

So what did I do today? Slept, slept and slept! Should have just gone out with Beebz and celebrated our 23rd monthsary, what a unproductive day! Had planned to complete most of my assignments today, but ended up not even completing one fully. (To credit myself, its pretty tough and I'm sorta 3/4 done HAHAH) At least I'll be seeing my boy tomorrow, so it ain't too bad!

Anyways my friends and I were in school yesterday mid afternoon, on our way to collect data for our Final Year Project at Town. We had to wait for Ziyi though, so we just hung around school, wanting to take ootd shots (LOL bunch of shameless people). Which explains the black and white photo of Cass, Bern, Qingyi and myself!

It was actually Bern's idea to snap this shot - inspired by one of the many bands he listens to: Real Friends. HAHAH. So it was kinda supposed to look something like

This. LOL. Close enough? I find it so cool tho. Look at the shadows!

Look at my individual shot.

HAHAHAHA. This is actually my second try.

The first one, I looked horrifying. Just so happened I was wearing all black that day and the photo turned out to look like a scene off a horror clip. HAHAHAHA, but I was laughing in it cos I couldn't contain my laughter. LOL my group mates really make me laugh too much, tho uncontrollable laughter is often a good thing, it really made that shot super unglam! *fumes* EH - Ofcourse, I deleted the bad shot seconds after it was being passed around!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The better shot tho - It kinda reminds me of one of the contestants at AsNTM Season 2, where Jodilly would love to take jump shots and the judges would be super awed with her ninja-leviation skills. Maybe I have a little potential in that area? LOL JKJK. Far cry.

One of our group meetings at the newly opened Coffee Bean in Ngee Ann!

Me: "Wa thirsty! Should I buy the drink!? Expensive leh don't want to be a victim of just buying things for its brand"

The rest: "Don't be such a business student la"

Yesterday was pretty fun tho, honestly I was kinda dreading it because I was worried nobody would bother doing our survey. I'm a classic example - always avoid those surveyors like the plauge, especially since our targeted respondents are Young Working Adults, we were seriously in for a challenge! With heavy hearts..... We just dragged our feet to town and tried to get things done!

It wasn't as bad as I had thought! Being the more daring one, I went ahead to ask my first respondent! She was quite nice, filled in the questionnaire without a word of rejection! Hahaha but ofcourse it wasn't like that through out. Battling my fear of stepping out of my comfort zone and the rejection from the public, I just put on my thick skin and tried to get as many responses as possible!

At the end of the day, our team of 5 people managed to hit our goal of reaching out to 50 respondents! :') Even though it sounds like a little amount, alot of effort has been put in! Imagine stopping a young working adult to do a survey in the bustling heart of town, definitely not a piece of cake! Sadly though, we're just taking baby steps, that's only about a fifth of the total amount we need!

But, it was a good start nevertheless. Even got invited to snap some photos when I approached some really approachable people at TAKA! :D they were so nice!

In order to "qualify" to take these pictures, you actually had to spend $350 at the fair! Here's a little promotional help for you guys! Head down to the fair and support them y'all! :D

Was really looking forward to the end of the day, where I met beebi for dinner! :D

We went to The Rotisserie at Rochester, my fav place for their yummy fries and chicken! Ate half a chicken and lots of fries on my own (!!!!!!) I'm not a monster tho - the food's really yummy and it was sorta my lunch and dinner all in one (Yes I know, mental note to self to really need to curb on my irregular eating habits)

Can't wait for tomorrow and the following week where I'll be off school and spending more time with my boy! :)))))))))))))

Cheers, x

Advertorials

I'm sure all of you girlies out there have at least heard of Asience, on commercials or even at our local drugstores! I find their products really interesting because their products are actually specially crafted for Asian hair!

I've always had this lifelong problem of trying to tame frizz and inject a little more moisture into my hair with whatever means and I ways I can ever lay my hands on.

Soft locks is key for a more well-kept appearance, especially for me because I really really love experimenting hairstyles and putting my hair under alot of damage by dyeing, curling and putting it my mane under lots of blow drying heat!

I'm a girl who love going for the big curls, voluminous look, but whenever I return home after a long day and catch a glimpse of the state of my hair... I just die a little inside. HAHAHA keedz, but don't you find it a little frustrating!? Although I leave my house in the morning with nice, freshly washed soft hair, it frizzes up in the day and becomes... a mess! This isn't what I want it to look like all the time!

The fact is, the result of all the damage I do to my hair really shows through!

About a week ago, I received a huge smartpac from Asience!

Yay! Been long awaiting for its arrival and here it is! It really brightens up my day when I return home to see parcels waiting for me. Its like mini presents I get to open and try, all in the comfort of my own home!

Haven't received a smartpac before, so I was pretty intrigued by it!

(Suaku? HAHAHAHAH hey there's a first time for everything!!!!)

*shake shake*

There! Nestled in the spacious box comes this tub of gold - Asience Treatment Hair Mask in 180g.

Here are the Asian Beauty Essences in Asience's formula that keeps hair hydrated and moisturised!

Lotus flower, Korean ginseng, Camellia Oil, Aloe Essence, Pearl and Shell Ginger Leaf

These ingredients are specially formulated to help intensively moisturise and heal damaged hair, inside-out for the smooth and soft locks I'm really looking for! Even better, it is made to retain all the goodness in for a good long 96 hours in one application!

All I did was just to add this in replacement of my regular conditioner, applying it liberally on my hair after shampooing, starting from the mid-section to the ends of my hair. I then left it in for a good long 5 minutes and following the instructions on the tub, ran through the tips of my hair and only washed the product off thoroughly after it no longer feels rough. Even in the shower, I could already tell my hair has become a lot silkier!

When I stepped out of the shower, my mom even commented "What's that flowery smell? New shampoo? Smells very nice!"

The results were pretty good, to be honest! I love the oriental fragrant scent of the product - it lingered on my hair even until the next day. Sure enough, I couldn't stop touching my hair as it felt so soft! You can tell from the pictures of the next two days the difference it makes to the shine of my hair!

My review - Product Efficacy:

Will I Purchase - Yes! Once I'm finished with this product (which I think would take a pretty long while, since a little really does go a long way) I'll continue using it.

Nourishing - 5/5 stars

Moisturizing - 5/5 stars

Ofcourse, I'd love to share the good stuff with you - If you'd like to give this product a go, redeem your very own FREE Asience Treatment Hair Mask Sample here: http://www.ksgpromo.com/AsienceMask/

Or, you can lay your hands on the full sized product just at S$18.90 for 180g, from NTUC, Cold Storage or Sheng Siong.

Enjoy! :')

#129. Dayre? What Dayre?

Keep it all together / Fake it until you eventually make it.

I know there've been a crazy lack of posts - been updating more often on my dayre now because I like blogging on-the-go and somehow I find Dayre easier to update. The only downside tho, :-( I have to chop my posts up into chunks because there's a word limit per update meh. I love their stickers! Brings life into the posts. Hahaha! I guess now a days the update only happens pretty frequently over on my right bar >>> where the Instagram is being updated every few days ;-)

Here's a snippet of my most recent post!

Day 138 : Sorry but the position of The Best Boyfriend is taken.

Today's such a great day because there was my love, Beewee Chia, good food and happy things to talk about. :-)

He even sent me all the way to CCK today, it was close to midnight and I didn't want him to miss transport home :'(

We're only getting stronger as time goes by. Seeing you still feels like the beginnings of our r/s, it just never gets old. I'm my truest self when I'm with you.

No one has seen me more annoying, more retarded, talk about crazy deep topics, share my deepest fears, my ugly past more than him. He has seen the most unglam side of me, the weakest and seen the side of me with the most vulnerable of emotions.

Yet he still constantly tell me things like "no you're beautiful, you don't even need makeup! smile more! You face tough times but you still pull through just fine!"

I don't think I'm only girl on earth feeling this way - but if you're attached and you can relate

Cherish him.
He might be here for you now
- but if you don't work as hard as he does on the relationship, the spark will eventually start to die off. Can't emphasize enough. I know for a fact that guys don't want to tend to princess tantrums all the time, show a little appreciation as time go by. It's really more than enough.

We've had our little rough patches where we'd quarrel, argue through sleepless nights, throw tantrums and it just wasn't smooth sailing for us all the time.

One fight and my mood can be ruined the whole day - until the matter is solved. I've heard from some friends they can tell right away when something is up: cos my expressions are easily written all over my face.

But after all of that - we grew up. Learnt a little give and take, learnt how to compromise.

I remember those times when I used to be so involved with school - participating in everything I can in BA, plus NRA commitments, juggling work at Gelateria at that time too. It was almost madness - holidays always packed to the brim: sometimes only able to squeeze out an hour or so after dance training to fetch me from school and to have supper.

It was only when he went on internship and I realised what it was like, to wait till then end of the day just to talk for a little and then

He'll go to bed soon after without much conversation.

I then really understood what he meant about commitments, and spending quality time together etc.

I'm just really glad we've made it this far - even if we have grown up and we're not the exact same people we were (almost) 2 years back, you're still the most amazing guy that has walked into my life and not thought once about leaving.

HEHEHEHHEE ok enough with the mushy mush mush, on to the yummy food I mentioned!!! Go eat at Lenas (we were at JEM - price rly comparable to Manhattan fish market AND do go early - yesterday's weekend dinner time had this mega long queue) if you want yummy affordable in HUGE PORTIONS pasta/grill/ICECREAM AHHH I LOVE ICECREAM

We're really big eaters but seriously we just couldn't stuff the generous servings of yumz so we went straight to Baskin Robbins for icecream (yes cos dessert will always belong to an additional stomach)

What a g8 day :-)))))))))

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Recently found a thing for Braids. :D

(Don't mind the bugger on my nose, been there for at least 5 days now. You guys, I never pop my pimples. Yes. Never. Ever.)

Year 3 has been pretty hectic thus far (Have I been saying this way too often?!), feels as though there's barely any time to settle down or fool around in the first few weeks.

Kinda miss year 1 and 2 where although there was substantial workload it was all pretty manageable. However, I'm really super thankful for the group that I've somehow found myself in. I feel like we could really work together and gel. I don't feel as though I have to handle all the workload single handedly and that there are people I can split the job with and have it done well.

Love it! That's the point of being in a team in the first place.

They make the painful journey less burdensome. :')

"Thinking to myself, what have I done to have deserved you."

Hi my love, this wont be a post with just "one line about you :-(" hahaha

Haven't seen my boy in school today, always hope somewhere somehow I'd bump into him. It really makes my day :-) Today's just one of those days when I don't - maybe tomorrow? :-)

He's been a sweet heart lately, showing me with so much love I doubt I can ever repay.

We're passing the Big 2 soon, wishing for a good celebratory something because we never really used to do anything much. Just wanna express how glad I am to have him in my life.

I love you so so so so very very very very much my Beebz, from your pure heart right down to your little oreos. (Aww beebi!!!!!!!!! I wanna hug you now teehehehehe)

Be mine forever.

*spam love*

Till my next update

I've been seeing alot of people using dayre recently and am sooooooo tempted to jump on the bandwagon and revive the blogger in me. Then I thought like, I'm such a lazy lazy person I might or might not be able to keep up with it. LOL. I guess I still will do it just for novelty's sake, gotta get on top of all the social media huh. That's teenagers for you in 2014.

Well anyways the only people that still keep up with my blog are those whom are very close to me, and its pretty much a private one - so dayre could be an alternative to twitter and instagram. Like a cross between. Yeah ;-)

It's been a long long long while since I've updated... Geez. Looking forward to laying out my thoughts and putting them into words where I (and my dear boyf who has been religiously stalking my space here and consistently reminding me "BEEBI YOUR BLOG. STILL EMPTY.") can look back on :-) I love my boyfriend. HAHAHAHA. Qt pie.

I've missed blogging and I'm here to give it a little life. (hahahaha sad sad abandonment) It hasn't just been my blog actually - recently I slowed things down over all my social sites: Tumblr, Tw, Insta, and don't even mention Facebook LOL I don't even know whats on there anymore. Wanted to stay low for a little bit and just lead a quiet peaceful minus the internet hoo-haa life.

Now that it's the hols I've a little more time to spice things up abit! I remember saying I'll put in a little more commitment into blogging by using the app, but seriously tho, the feel is very different. Like on the app I barely get that ranty feel. I prefer typing away on a physical keyboard!

I notice I'm not so into things that I used to be, like blogging now becomes slow and uninspiring. I used to read through books from cover to cover in a day yet now I find myself renewing my books cos I don't find that drive to complete my books on time. Is this part of growing up HAHAHAHA hitting the big "2" soon it's scary. Exaggeration there.

I can safely say that I'm about halfway through holidays now? I just really wanna point out that this particular 2-month (more or less) break truly feels like one. I've been couping myself up at home, spending time catching up with old friends including the chingay girlfs & my secondary school clique - Mostly keeping those people close, if not closer to my heart. :-)

Used to busy my holidays packed morning to night either with a part-time job or to head out all the time, get involved with camp prep and all that razzle dazzle - guess not this time round.

There hasn't been much of a drama lately and when I say drama I mean friendship drama, relationship drama & family drama Thank God. Just savoring the smooth days when I get to enjoy 'em. Before the stressful periods start collapsing on me and I sure know they will come sooner or later. Just taking baby steps to learn how to prevent and repair damage. :-)

My favourite photo of us.

I believe that it isn't easy to find someone who complements you in every way, is patient enough to smooth out all the bumps in a relationship and even when we don't see eye to eye on certain matters - it definitely wont be for long cos we always work things out. Recently a close friend said she's been telling her friends about my relationship with Stanley, saying things like how its admirable how we've got such great communication. It's true, it's never a bed of roses yet all it takes is just a little more deep breaths and second chances. With him, it is so *sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo* supa damn hella worth it. There is no chance we'll be driven to a breaking point. Not a snowball's chance in hell. :-)

Had a recent staycation + been spending just lots and lots of quality time together - physically and emotionally, it does alot. Bottomline: He just makes me a very happy person and I hope I do too. :-) Every little thing he does, sharing things he sees, making time for me, telling me I look beautiful without caking on makeup, it's every little thing about him that makes me wanna hold him forever close to my heart.

You're my firework display in my darkest days, I love you Beebi Chia - Father of our soccer team children and Mi Counsellord.

My favorite smile!

♡♡♡

One of my most favfavfavvv photo of us!

Beebi Chia: Sk8er Boi

Shiny eyes! *.*

(our matchy matchy clothes day, from top to bottom!)

Lipstick stains! :-*

Starting my 2014 with you.

One of our other multiple matchy matchy clothes days. :-)

Hey dear! ♡

Haven't updated my blog in ages so I thought I'd update a little bit to rid this blog of it's DUST (hehehe) It should be a little more meaningful than a FB Message/Text to wish you happy 1 year 7 months :-)

It's funny how (yesterday) we just went through one of the craziest blockbuster-worthy episode of catching-a-run-away-spouse + your damn rude reaction on the bus + the afterward musings of if-i'm-any-guy-i'll-breakup-with you (honestly that hurts and i rembr that the most, and also the first time you said something like that in the whole of our r/s) but it's - like always - a two sided experience.

One we can learn from or one that can break us. I guess like you said - it does make us stronger. We're seriously one weird yet long lasting couple huh! People see us in one way, but in actual fact we're coming out opposite of what they assume. No wonder we have no friends. HAHAHAHAHAHA.

This month has only been the first of the year, but sure has been pretty damn hectic. Been busy with this and that, we hardly spent time together and it sure has taken it's TOLLOLLOLLOLOLLLLL on us. :-( Pray we'll learn how to deal with this and that we learn to understand each other's POV better.

It isn't nice to feel you slipping away.

So let's not mention the B word to loosely in the future and be a little patient with each other. :p I thought you were going to force me to use your phone by now! But seriously. It's kinda like a lil too late. Already getting a new one next month. :-)

Anyways, here's wishing you a wurly wurly happy 1 year 7 months and more adventures (wink wink) to come! I lovey you! ♡

"After A While"

After a while
you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul
and you learn love doesn't mean leaning and company doesn't always mean security.
And you begin

to learn that kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't always promises
and you begin

to accept your defeats with your head up and and your eyes ahead with the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child.
And you learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans and futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight.
After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much
So you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers
And you learn that you really can endure, that you really are strong and you really do have worth and you learn and you learn
with every good-bye you learn.

This was typed on the 28th September 2013 (Australia date + time)

Some alone time while in the bus along the way back to Brisbane airport, time check 8:00pm exactly ☺️

It's been a pretty long day, in fact the longest out of all the 6 full days (minus 2 due to flight + traveling time) since I was up since 4:30am to catch Surfer paradise's sunrise. Beautiful.

On the first day, we visited some of the city "landmarks" like China town and Mount Coot-tha. The weather was pretty warm that afternoon but everyone was happy here. The view was breath taking, and the company was fun. It was funny how Amanda started taking her scorpion shots and everyone started imitating her! It became a photo thing! Hahaha hilarious! :p Especially when the guys can't do it but still force themselves to.. Not getting there guys haha.

I really liked it there and we got to head to UQ to have a school tour and speak to some seniors from NP there. It made me realise that graduation is actually pretty close and in just a year's time I've to make an important decision whether to further my studies in a university or not. Life isn't always that one-way route Singaporeans are so used to, take your education, study and get a job.

It's important to do something you love and are passionate about, and with that I'm not so sure which sector I'd like to be in when the future comes knocking on my door. Maybe I'll do something completely different from tourism? Who knows, life is ever changing.

Went around the area near the mall to sneak some shopping but prices were a little steep!

The next few days we went to paradise resorts, factory outlet shopping, wild life sanctuary Currumbin, Jupiter Conrad, super bee, today 4 wheeled drive, dream world and lots of other places to view the attractions and accommodations.

In the nights, we'd go to the arts fair, have our little pizza/wrap parties and just chat till we're tired. Watched silly reality tv shows like Pimp my ride and haven't felt this happy away from my comfort zone in a long time.

I still missed my boyfriend a lot though! Half of me wanted to stay so bad, the other half wanted to leave ASAP so I could return to my loved ones. The worst thing was probably when everyone had internet access here, uploading and updating instagram all the time, or being able to contact each other and etc.

The only time I could have internet access was in the nights along the hotel's lobby, where connection isn't really the best nor where it's the most comfortable. But oh boy so I look forward to it so bad because I miss my dear boy so much. Even if I'm having fun and my days are usually packed with activities that keep our minds occupied, I still missed my boy at the back of my mind. How I love him so, distance do make the heart grow fonder.

In Australia, I'm always together with a clique of 9 others. They are people made up of familiarity and unfamiliarity. Weird mix huh? Half were from my class (my project group mates) and I wasn't really super close to them from the beginning but I believe this trip has brought us closer by giving us a heap load of opportunities to chat and all. Really happy.

I do wish I get to do these this with my boyfriend too, because it would be just perfect. When we went to play with the beach water one afternoon, I wished so bad Beebz was there. The water was really cold splashing on to my feet, sand so soft and warm, Ben and Jerry's ice cream melting in my mouth and sun beating down my back. Seeing couples everywhere made me miss him so bad.

People in Aussie could be super polite but also racist at times (can't fault some, they were high on alcohol) but their personalities draw me in so much. I want to lead their sort of laid back lifestyle where everyone's good with everyone (at least they start off being really good) and not like Singapore where everything's stressed and fast paced and all in a mad rush.

I love their dressing style, their accent, their country's amazing and I'm sure my dear boy would enjoy as much as I did. Oh how I wish he could be there.

On the boat when we headed out to sea to whale watch, I wished he was right next to be bobbing up and down choppy seas, and warming me up when my goosebumps appear because he's my little boyfie cutie pie + my portable heat warmer! Hahaha!

At Mount Tambourine I wished I could have taken the 4 wheeled drive with Beebz and watch the scenery within the mountain as we ascend the steep terrain in the little bus. Plus play with the cowboy whip thing and the boomerang! :) The whip gave me a bruise on my lip though, ouch :(

There were many Kangis and other animals, even little dainty shops lining the streets but the best was still the activities like whipping and boomerang throwing. (If I was jay-z.. 😋)

When I was at Dreamworld being afraid at the rides, I wish he was right next to me taking all the rides and experiencing everything with me. Oh how I wish I could..

When I shop, I could just imagine if Beebz would say "Aww you look fluffly in it!" And give me that little cheesy smile.

Everything I do here, I wish in my heart I could share all the experience with my dear boy. 😔

It wasn't easy for me to spend 8 days with completely (ok almost) no internet and with people I'm not too familiar with. Other than my ex-classmates.

For the rest, I also got to make friends with them, and they're really an awesome bunch. Three cliques. coming together and having this much fun, it's really nice to experience once in awhile.

I'm turning 18 in 4 hours aussie time, and the whole group of them actually came up with a surprise for me, cake + candles and all, TOTALLY UNEXPECTED seriously mostly because I didn't think they'd bother because it was only the night of 27th sept and I was really touched. Was tearing at the door of Hazel's hotel room when I kept knocking and they wouldn't open, I thought they were intentionally ignoring me lol bcos they were talking and laughing really loud (planned haha) this bunch.

When they sang the birthday song is was so shocked I just like 😱

Hahaha they are such a nice bunch.

I do realise to they each have different people they really cared about as a true friend. Like Casia, Yu xuan and Lynette. Keryang and all, Isabelle, Michelle and the other guy idk! For tabs and crystal it's Ariel and the rest in OIP. Even Yongchin has been constantly contacting other chinkys during the break and I haven't.

Maybe I'm not a good friend? I don't know..

I'm only close to Mariah and I just realised I haven't bought her much. Will pass her some stuff from the trip. But I guess it isn't about what I buy that shows my sincerity as a friend, it's about how much I'm willing to do for them.

Not exactly the most excited for this upcoming semester because I'm separated from my comfort zone, other than Casia and chin, but I'll try to engage into a proper friendship with the rest since they are easier to talk to. Some I do have to be wary.. But we'll see. Really don't have a lot of familiar faces. In the second half I have IS and it's separated from Stanley :( I was so sad! But no choice got to deal with it! Sigh!

My fingers are freezing from typing this little message for about half an hour now (still haven't gotten to the airport yet HAHHA going to sleep in the plane so much. I can't wait to see my baby boy!!!!!!!!! Beebz I miss you so much I need to feel you! Been apart from you too long, need a HUG RIGHT NOW I'm so cold!)

Don't think anyone would remember it's going to be my birthday soon or bother as I'm sure they're all going to be so tired out.

I only wish for my love's company when I'm back, that's all. Can't wait.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hahaha hello everybody!

I'm back, suddenly got the feel to start blogging again! I know I haven't been updating this space, just too darn lazy most of the times hahaha. But well when I update my blog out of the blue it's usually because I'm really sad/stressed/super excited or feeling something extreme, so yeah I guess it's a good thing this page isn't filled with sad posts just as yet! My life haven't been very happening lately but i'm just glad to say everything I've been blessed with (Danzation opportunity, the reopening of school, friends and everything) have been pretty manageable. :-)

To continue my blog post from where I "left off", I actually had quite a simple legal 18th celebration this year. The highlight was getting to see my dear friends & lover boy once I got off the plane! I was also surprised on flight which was quite a unique experience! Tell me who gets to turn 18 on the plane with cabin crew singing birthday song for you? HAHAHAH!

I slept for the most part of 29th Sept but in the night my boy took me to this trampoline place! It was kinda interesting and I successfully managed to execute a few flips here and there but I just couldn't land right (almost, once or twice!) Maybe we'll be coming back again someday. :)

After that the days went by in a blur, and suddenly school's started. Been pretty busy with Red district lately, training real hard for Danzation. I've been a little worried over school work though, I haven't spent much time studying or even having enough time to work on my tuts. I know time will run out quickly since I've to make time for dance in my everyday schedule. Gotta work on it and not let my grades fall.

We had a review of our results today and SQTR was revised as a 2 Credit Unit module rather than 4. It's a good news for me, because overall my gpa went from 3.333 to 3.3429 hahahah (what in the world right doesn't make much of a difference) but then okay I shan't complain because most of the people around me, their Gpa all fall because they did well for it and the weightage is lesser now. See? Sucking in April Ng's module actually has it perks sometimes. LOL no its not a perk actually since their GPA is still much higher than mine -_- I'm WORKING on it!

Braces had been quite a pain in the a double asteriks because I just removed my 4th teeth and now my upper canine is connected to the braces. It juts out a little making me feel sooooooo self conscious whenever I smile now. I just can't wait for it to start movie so I won't have to deal with that embarrassment any longer! :'(

Danzation's senior junior item has been *pretty* dang stressful because I'm being put in centre when there are many other better dancers than me. I'm working hard for the choreography and I must say we all look clean right now! Can't wait to amaze the audience ;)

Beebz have been really sweet lately *when he's not falling asleep while I miss him*, we're meeting up whenever I can make it and spending some good quality time (so so so much needed) i love you dear if you're reading this! :) x

Alright, I've got Law tutorial to work on, gotta go!

Cheers! :-)

HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I haven't been updating my blog recently :-( I miss it... So I'm back to rant, mostly about.... BRACES! :p

Hahaha okay la my teeth aren't that straight yet but I do hope they'll look this good once they are! ;-)

So I mentioned in my previous post that I've gotten my braces done! :) :) :) I never blogged about how the experience has been though! It's been 2 weeks and 2 days into braces, and honestly right now I won't remember I have them if I don't think about them hahahaha I'm so used to them already! :D

{Rewind time a little!}

Before braces itself I had x-rays and impressions of my teeth done. Getting X-rays of my mouth area was sooooo awkward bcos the doc just puts you in a room, exits and shuts the door while leaving you inside with a really creepy beeping machine and your mouth open in awkward angles with plastic pieces in them to hold the position!

Getting the impressions done made me wanna gag so bad, basically they put gooey pink stuff on a horse-shoe shaped metal piece and stick them right into your mouth and press really hard! Voila! I was so afraid they'd yank teeth out bcos it really felt as though the hardened goo was putting alot of pressure on my jaw! Heh heh!

Braces day (16 July) came by really quickly! The whole ordeal took 2 and a half hours T-T I was so frightened, sitting outside the dentist really made me tremble a little! Beebi made it so much better staying by my side although I know that he too is afraid of needles/extractions and all that but hey!!! I was the one who has to go through the sheer terror first hand!

When the dentist called me in I was super nervous, them telling me I need to - and then don't - and then need to (again) to get my teeth extracted made me even more nervous! They first stuck on the brackets with a minty glue with a syringe and then they put on the brackets one by one. After that, they made me open & close my mouth a few times to see if any of the brackets were in the way with my bite. After what feels like a long time (haha the ortho was also like "okay finally" LOL) he carried on with extracting 3 teeth!

So I sat there terrified.. Oh I forgot to mention! Before bonding the doctor took alot of pictures lol and he used a stretchy plastic thing to hold my mouth open and it was soooooo uncomfortable! While I was horrified, Beebi just sat there amused watching everything hahaha that boy..

So he got my mouth numbed up with what felt like.. 5 - 6 jabs? I kept closing my eyes and saying silent prayers haha the first jab didn't hurt too bad but whoa those on my lower jaw really did hurt quite abit! :-( He then went on to use something like a plier and started yanking my teeth out.. Okay I shan't reenact the whole procedure now bcos I have one more teeth to extract and I don't want to freak myself out! OR MY READERS so let me spare you the mental picture!

I headed home with a sore jaw (and a mask) and I couldn't speak, thankfully Beebi managed to understand what I was saying LOL even I myself only hear mumbling and I guess only he can make out what I was saying. Way to go Beebz! :p

Here are some before pictures without braces!

And afters! :)

(The next morning after getting braces, I had it done from 6:30pm-8:30pm on the 16th)

My first braces instagram photo haha on the 3rd day I think!

Really thought I was smiling unnaturally in some photos because my mouth was so sore! :(

These photos were taken when the pain was alot more bearable and when I could finally start eating "normal people food"! Hahaha! There was so many times when I had to sit through lunch watching everyone eat and I'm like :( there's nothing here I can eattttttt :(

Our first anniversary at DOME :-)

Dearest sobbu gaga sunshine gal hahahaha.

Kindzone was held on the 4th day of braces and gosh was it hard to talk to strangers and collect surveys geez!

Just today by the pool after swimming with my dearie!

The first 4 days of braces (16th July - 19th July) was absolutely horrid, I was no where close to getting any food into my mouth. :( Beebi dear went with me to go grocery shopping for some really soft foods, like yogurt and campbell soups :-(

It gets worse.. I couldn't drink even from a straw because my whole mouth was super sensitiveeee! I guess the best part of braces was having guilt-free icecream all the time! Hahaha, but then ice-cream is sweet and my ortho told me to stay away from sweet foods bcos teeth may retain bacteria more easily than without!

But y'all know what.. I'm gonna do E V E R Y T H I N G the ortho says so I get to see results quickly!!!

Hahaha me being self-disciplined. :)

Really thankful for the people who told me their own experiences and assuring me that it gets better, bcos it really does! I can eat KFC now BAHAHA. To the people who replied my tweets when I was all panicky and wondering if it was normal that the metal was causing so many cuts and ulcers, you guys made me feel so muchhhhh better.

Went to thread my brows for the 2nd time and this time round it didn't hurt so bad! :p Charis went with me and it was her first, but that brave girl didn't shed a single tear omgahh hahaha. Her brows look so much defined rn! :)

I have officially 18 more days to my first paper! So glad I scored a number of As in my assignments/tests thus far and I hope I get a good gpa this sem! :-)

Yay for AD for Kindzone! :') My first ever A with a distinction hahahaha

It's August right now and there are 5 months left of 2013! Gonna make them all count :)

Next month is going to be exciting bcos it's my birthday and I'm most likely going to be on a plane when it strikes midnight and I turn officially 18! HAHAHA how exciting is that! I can't wait to go to Australia! :')

Till next time! :)
