I am now on my desk after finishing a light-hearted meeting. Haven't blog about my long ago thailand(lazy!) and taiwan trip. Well, left 14 days to put this hectic month a closure!! Hopefully everything will run out awesomely, perfectly & smoothly for December. Pre-Merry Christmas to everybody! Woohoo~~
Dilemma...
Something has been in my mind for almost 11 yrs. I haven't been struggling much for the past 3 to 4 yr or rather just keeping it inside my heart knowing i couldn't afford it AT ALL unless i rob. Meaning to say even though i don't have savings to support my decision now, but i can be impulsive and just sign off with my name. I am suppressing myself because i want to be 100% sure before going into something like that. I just told my sister that i have a blog (obviously she is not paying attention to my fb!) but am not going to worry if she reads this because why? i am turning 30 in 3 yrs time! Duh~
1) Dental Braces
Dental braces (also known as orthodontic braces, or simply braces) is a device used in orthodontics to align teeth and their position with regard to a person's bite. They are often used to correct malocclusion such as under bites, overbites, cross bite and open bites, deep bites, or crooked teeth and various other flaws of teeth and jaws, whether cosmetic or structural. Orthodontic braces are often used in conjunction with other orthodontic appliances to widen the palate or jaws or otherwise shape the teeth and jaws. While they are mainly used on children and teenagers, adults can also use them.
Reason: When young (like before sec school), i didnt care much about appearance. Like other children, i played around and opened my mouth widely laughing happily because no one at that time will say to me or my mum "hey your daughter has crooked teeth". During pri school, i hate the dentist because all she knew was to ask us to open our mouth BIG! My mum enlisted me in the queue for poly clinic braces which costs cheaper (about 40 to 50 percent) but got to wait for at least 1 yr or so. I've got my turn when i was primary six, stupid enough, i rejected! The craziest thing is i didn't know why i said no?!! If i got it fix when i was 12, perfect teeth is what i would see now into the mirror... Max sad & regret!
Well now at the age of 26 i've got one on for $4900. Still have about 1 to 2 yr before i can take them down. it doesn't hurt throughout the process so far except for the extraction of tooth and monthly visits to tighten the braces. Extracting part is not hurt at all because of the anaesthetic jab given, i don't even know it's over until it's over! Haha.. After extracting, dentist stuffed me a huge cotton in the hole telling me try not to take out for at least one night because this small white thing can absorb the blood that will be gushing out. That day i remembered commemorating myself a brave women who endure through multiple painful process! Happily woke up 15 minutes earlier to take out the cotton before going to work, Wah Lau Eh! Sibey painful!!!!! The huge cotton is so so moistly bloody stucked into my hole with the wire of my braces guarding it make it super hard to remove and without the cotton bud supporting the hole, the tooth beside it seems like collapsing!~ Each time after tightening the braces, it hurts like shit for the first one to two days due to the wire is shifting the root of the teeth and makes it really vulnerable to any biting motion.
I am used to the braces inside my mouth already. Every one says that putting braces will slim down, bullshit can! I still eat in fact more as and when i like except that it can get quite annoying when it stuck into your teeth. Just brush more frequent! I pray that after all the pain, discomfort i've been through, it will turn out straight, pretty & clean! There i can flash my megawatt smile also! *wink* =D
The second & third thing are what i've yet to achieve and pending for a decision but will most likely go for it. =p
2) Nose Augmention aka Rhinoplasty
3) Double eyelid aka Asian blepharoplasty
To simplify, it's nose implant and creating double eyelid out of my small eye. I have a very flat nose with no bridge at all, small eye with excess fats on the upper eyelid which is what typically an Asian women look like. (well some Asian women have very nice nose and eye though) I looked very lousy in pictures especially side view. If i have to use a word to describe, it would be ugly. I know in certain part of the world people are worrying about poverty, hunger, natural disasters, sickness and the list goes on but here i am concerning about my nose?
Yes i am very very concern about my looks, who doesn't? A better look will boost one's confidence level and i dare to say it will greatly improve your performance in work, your luck in love and almost everything you do! Since the invention of camera and colour enabled phone, i hate taking picture without me knowing especially from digital camera because it not only remind me of my flat face but also what a huge frame i've got. I don't think i ever remember any photo/neoprints taken of me is to my liking or even barely satisfy. I ask myself after seeing those pics is that really me? How come it's so different from what i see in the mirror everyday? When looking into the mirror, we often will "try" to look better or the angle that make us look good. I think a real beauty should look great in every angle and that's what i want to achieve. I know many will say natural is most beautiful but let's face it, we all have certain part of us wanted to be change just to make and feel like a better person be it body, facial or even personality.
If science & technology today allow us to make the difference, why not? Because what we born with are what our parent gave us? I believe they wanted the best for us, by loving & taking good care of ourselves, making the best out of every situation and each opportunity is the perfect way to repay them. The things that i worry will probably be the side effect, like the silicon implant goes out of place if knock accidentally or that it will look unnatural causing everyone to point their finger at me whenever i walk past! Erks...
Have been reading up articles and reviews about it, i am still considering all the factors and have not come to a firm decision after all it's not cheap! =(
Let's hope one day when i update about this post, i will be different! =D
