BRACES? NO BRACES?
I went for a dental checkup few days back. Did 4 fillings and cost a freaking $120. Yar i didn't spend on clothes, i splurge on my teeth instead.

Anyway, here's e stats:
$4000 (NOT including extractions and x-ray)
Min. 2 and half yrs (read: MINIMUM. I'm going to be super ugly-looking for 2 and half yrs):
Extraction of 4 tooth (Oh i hate extractions! Who likes needles poking into your gums, esp. when they poke a certain point of your gum, practically can faint)
But still, i want to have a pretty set of teeth. At least, straighter teeth.
I've lived with these ugly-yet-some-ppl-still-say-cute vampire tooth for 21yrs. Ever since primary sch, dentists had been telling me to do braces, but $$ was an issue. And do u know how long is the waiting list? U need to wait donkey yrs b4 it's your turn.
Anyway, back to now. I have to decide.
MONEY isn't really a major problem, as long as i have a steady income, which means i cannot be out of job during this period of time at all.
PAIN is a big issue. I'm a scaredy meow meow. I hate dentists all my life, since primary school. Seriously. Maybe it's a phobia. I duno.
Hmm, the whole braces thing will strain my relationship with BF. Really, I can already start imagining all the scenarios of us quarrelling. Ha! Cause, maybe u know, maybe u don't, I'm super easily pek chek. And BF gets pek chek easily when I'm pek chek. Confused? Nvm. Anyway, I'm not sure if he has THAT MUCH patience to deal with me. Hmm..
What if I complain of discomfort and pain due to my braces and he replies, "aiyar, bear with it lar. who ask u want to do. bo bian lor." I WILL BURST OK! ha! Oh! And what if it affects our kissing? LOL. Not that I'm really bothered by this, but it came across my mind. Hmm.. then he'll get so pissed off by the metal thing in my mouth. But then again, maybe these negative thoughts won't take place. Maybe he'll be a really sweet BF. Everything's MAYBE.
*Sigh.. Give me some advice please, anybody who reads this. If anybody bothers to read.
Liting's 21st!
Haven seen some of these girls for a real loooong time. It was good updating each other and talking crap, cause there were a few rather awkward situations.
Ying is good, can multi-task. See how she's paying attention to whoever is talking to her and posing without looking at the camera at the same. Haha!
I think none of us really change alot (:
