Not Fun Anymore

It’s Monday today and it’s has been relatively filled with activities, considering that I’ve only stayed at home and loafed for the past two days. My day started with some super duper curry mee, made by my mom. But it would have been more satisfying if it had a little more salt and had fresh yellow noodles instead of cintan mee. No, I’m not running to be the next fella to die of hypertension or something, really, my tastebuds are attuned to bland food but that was seriously not salty enough.

Then, around 10.30, I drove off to the dentist’s.

She took my braces off.    *wheeee*

To only put on something more hurtful and looks just as bad. -_-”

Yeah, later in the evening I got a retainer. It was made of clear plastic and hurt like hell. The nurse told me to try it on in front of her, at the counter, with two other pairs of eyes belonging to two ther nurses staring  longingly, as if it’s very interesting to watch an overgrown kid goofily put on a retainer. It was kinda hard to put on because it was too tight. And when it did, it snapped-on. Really, there was sound like *snap!*, the force was so strong that I took a step back and winced in pain. In front of THREE pairs of eyes. You know I’d rather not let them see me in such a state, but it was reflex. Yeah, I blame it on the reflex.

Then the nurse, wanted me to take it out, also, with three pairs of eyes watching. I tried, while she kept on going about having to pry them out with the nails a little bit on each side and slowly keep on prying. It went on for a while, and I wanted to give up. Clearly, it wouldn’t be coming off anytime soon and I was already late for my guitar class. So I asked if I could go back later and all, but she had already ran off to tell the doctor about the awkward girl at the counter trying to awkwardly attempt to get her retainer off while making awkward expressions in the mirror. Yep, the doctor had to pry it off with tools better than my nails. Even that, it took her forever and it hurt like hell. Have you ever got your tooth pulled off without anaesthetics? It was something like that, like my  TEETH are coming off all at the same time, but didn’t. Darned retainer. And the doctor casually mentioned that it’s the first time she’d encountered anything like this, as if it was my fault. I don’t know, me? weird teeth? That was why I got BRACES in the first place, lady. And in the process, she cut my gums a bit and now it’s a bit sore. Yearghhh….

In the end, I had to make calls and postpone my class to a later time while she pimped my retainer. *hahah, i like this one*

Now it’s doing fine, but I look like I have a layer of gel on my upper teeth. It’s feels like there’s plastic all over, oh wait, there IS plastic all over. Now, I can’t even grit my teeth for fear of making a crack in it. Bloody thing costs a hundred ringgit she said. It’s just plastic, damn. And I have to wear it 24 hours a day except when eating. Ooooh….now the awkward girl would be even more awkward because everytime that she has to eat, she would have to go to the bathroom to do god-knows-what. Or if she ever, god forbid, forgets and had actually taken a bite before taking off the darned retainer, she would have to excuse herself to go to the bathroom to do god-knows-what. *sigh*

Well, guitar class was great. I’ve got homework now.

Practice, practice, practice.

I wanna play like John Mayer, though I wouldn’t want to stick out my tongue while singing and make sick expressions like him.

Then again, who am I kidding? I’ll probably give up halfway anyway.
