Whew! I'm really glad for my appointment with my hairdresser today. Last week's rebonding left my hair ends damaged. Had to go back to trim off the ends. Frankly, I suspect the damage had already accumulated over the past year. I must have dyed my hair at least 6 times since last October. Maybe I should dig up some of my photos to check out my various hair colours. Sure left my hair dry and frizzy. I hereby declare, I'm leaving my hair alone for the next one year! Au naturel! (:

I went for my dental appointment in the evening. The original plan was to get some cleaning done. But after enquiring about orthodontics, I decided to get started on it. I have delayed wearing braces for years (no particular reason).

It has been some time since I've been to a dentist. I almost forgot how it's like to be lying down, staring at the glaring light, and having multiple pipes and metal contraptions sticking out of your mouth. It helps that my dentist, Dr Peggy and the other nurses are so friendly. Because honestly speaking, having your lips numbed by novocaine or having a mould of your teeth taken doesn't feel like heaven at all.

There were a lot of stuff done, including an x-ray. I was at the dentist's for over an hour. Today's appointment is the beginning of my suffering. Right now, I have six orthodontic separators between my teeth to prepare for the braces. The worst part is probably that I need to have 4 teeth extracted to make space. My next two appointments are on 13 and 20 September. Dang. Two teeth each time. Ouch ouch ouch.

For a moment, I thought to myself, why do humans subject themself to pain to look beautiful? One thing's for sure: I'm never going under the knife for cosmetic reasons.

CHARMAINE CHEONG.

I’m a somebody and a nobody. I’m rational and emotional. I’m critical but I’m non-judgemental.

I like my things categorized by types and chronologically. I like taking photos to preserve the moments of my life. I like dystopian literature. I like reading Wikipedia articles at random. I like travelling to foreign lands and seeing the world. I like long conversations over good food. I like pop and classical music. I like guitars. I like cats. I like writing random, mushy letters and notes to the people important to me. I have a whole long list of things that I like, but you’ve got to get to know me better to know them all.
