Life changing decision - BRACES pt.1!!

Hello y'all!

I have an announcement to make! 

NOOOOO I'M NOT GETTING MARRIED

:p

...

..

I'VE GOT BRACES!! :D

Okay I don't know what I'm being so excited about lol why am I even blogging this anyways :3 

Just that I've received couple of questions & fb msgs about it so I thought I would share it once and for all with you guys. 

You may or may not know that I have this super hideous teeth.

 If you happen to be my friends in real life (how bad luck of you), of course you would know

If you'd only seen me on the Internet, from all the photos I posted. 

YOU HAVE NO IDEAAAAAAAAAAA  how ugly me teeth is :/ 

They're like extremely unsystematic. AH HAHAHHAHA what a word.

Crooked, untidy, and troublesome.

NOW YOU KNOWWWWWW why I never smiled in my photos;

NOW YOU KNOWWWW why I never greeted people with a friendly smiley facey;

NOW YOU KNOWWWWW why I've been so ashamed of myself, don't even dare to talk;

NOW YOU KNOWWWWW I am ugly when I say I am.    :3

Eh having to keep your mouth closed is more tired than you think. Some more I was born to be such talkative.

Also, having the same expression in every single photo sicks me out, walao, sometimes I wanna do like rocker pattern also cant.

SO I DECIDED TO CHANGE THIS CLOSED-MOUTH ANGEL's DESTINY.

I once asked my dentist(in Butterworth, around where I stay)  if he can do braces for me, he refused to.

Cos he said my teeth is very messy, hard to handle, and filthy . He asked me to go Penang do.

PUTOOOO. What kind of dentist is this hahahahahaha!!

Then yea, so I went to get them done @  Looi Orthodontic.

Looi Orthodontic is quite famous at Penang so I figured I'd go for consultation.

Here's the braces procedure:

#1 Consultation for about 10 minute. 

The orthodontist will explain to you about some basic stuff, like very very basic it was actually a waste of time.  Price, duration, and all the other important information could not be answered till you truly decided you wanna go for it.

#2 Only come back if you've decided to put them metals on!  This appointment is for X-ray scanning, have some photos taken, and doing the model thingy for your teeth.  Oh!  RM290 paid for the X-ray too. 

#3  Go see the X-ray of your ugly teeth and have the orthodontist to explain how troublesome it is LOLOLOL! 

For example, how many tooth you have to extract, do fillings, scaling and all these.  At this appointment you'll be let know the total price your braces gonna cost and if you're serious about doing, RM1k have to be paid for confirmation purpose.  Braces duration is uncertain yet because it depends mostly on your teeth anyway. 

I always knew my teeth ugly but .. I dono its THIS ugly :/

Sorry to make you look at this HAHAHHAHA.

T_____T    hao ee xing.

Well the good news is neither tooth pulling or filling I have to do. Only scaling hehehe.

代表我不用拔牙ok  看朋友拔四顆八顆的看到都痛了

#4  The moment you been waiting for is here. The day you put on the braces lah! 

Also have to pay for another rm1k minimum.  Then rest can pay every following month your visit for checkups.

Thats all.

At the clinic hohoho.

Oh ya, mine cost rm4500.  But then I have this trouble thing in my teeth so a pin(rm350) is needed.

Total iz rm4850,   not sure if include retainer or not.

:D 

Guess whos the braces bloggahhhhihhhhh!? 

Took some photos the other day after an outing with the girls, didn't want to waste the makeup.

I've got more to post gok but some Q&A time first!

Q&A

Q: Do they hurt?

A: Yes so much like a motherchucker.  They didn't hurt at first but till you wake up the next morning.  Damn it.  Perhaps that is what hell feels like.  The sore is not only from the teeth, but deep inside tothe teeth's bone, its like you cannot touch any of them at all.  For 3 whole days, I did not bite my teeth together lol tried so hard to keep distance between them. Till the 7th day they started getting better.

Q: Can you eat with braces on? 

A: Yes you can, but the first few days you might wanna go for softer foods . For the first seven days that got me tortured like fuck, all I had was MeeShua (麵線) and KFC's mashed potato, and frozen yogurt to keep myself happy. After the pain is gone, KFC CHICKEN KITKATS BISCUITS all no problem. Gehehehe so don't expect to slim down yo.

Q: Can you be able to talk normally?

A:  This wouldn't be a problem once you get used to it. For the first few days might feel a little uncomfortable but it will not affect your speech or voice at all, maybe sometimes 漏風 a bit trololol.

Q: Should I do it now or in future?

A:  DO IT AS FAST AS YOU POSSIBLY COULD.  REALLY. You have no idea how regretful I am. Ugh! 19 and wearing braces. I started so late because of some personal issues lol money issues I mean! A few thousands are not cheap ma, furthermore I never thought teeth would be so important like wutttt.   Most of my friends have got over with it already here I am, just the beginning,  BUT, 

don't get frustrated, at least I'm on the road. Don't judge I love you.

Q:  Is it worth it? With the price to pay(both money and pain)?

A: I'm not at the right place to comment cos I haven't gotten everything done yet but click this link and take a look, then tell me whether you think its worth it or not.  There were nights when the pain kept me up, I doubted whether its a right thing to do or nah. I even told my mother I wanted to get it off on the 4th day lolol cos the pain is too horrifying!!  But I didn't, so, yeah. Hopefully my willpower stays still every month after the tightening, its gonna hurt several days every month. Its like another menstrual to girls lol.

At least now I dare to smile showing my teeth. Tho they're not perfect (yet) but it feels good to know youre on the way there.

Thats all I have to say.

If you're thinking to get them, go get'em; if you were born with perfect teeth and reading, BE GRATEFUL YO!

Oh ya, did I mention the reason of me doing this is because Im afraid I cannot smile wide/grin in my future's wedding photos? HAHHAHAHAHAHAHA SHALLOW GOAY.

Lastly I'm going to post all the other lame photos I took the other day. Close the tab already if you're not digging it

Just being a girl, don't mind me xx 

 Makeup well spent lol.  Still werking it with braces. Gurllllllllllllll :p

Bad quality tho cos I edited with VSCO on the phone only transferred here.

Enough for today!  Thanks for reading buh bye xx

Coffee Smith

 Hello guys!   I'm so sorry for not blogged for so freaking longgg!

I know, I know, it has been really long since I talked something about myself, both of my previous(or most) 

blog posts are all about product reviews, my favorites, etc.   

So, if you're wondering how have I been?

I've been great, awesome, and all thing, oh busy!  

Okay to be honest I actually have no idea what the heck had I been caught up with, it just felt like I never had enough time to come up here and blog.  Maybe I was just too lazy doing this, I mean, I'm on my laptop every.single.day.

Hehehehe.  

So today, I'm going to introduce you my new favorite cafe in Penang, Coffee Smith!

Visual time first, then I'll tell you how I feel about the cafe and why I like it so much. X

Companion of the day.  Pei Sean & bestie Wei Wei

Banana Chocolate

This is one of the drink I've ever had throughout my entire life.

The main boys, bananas are really fresh and sweet. Mixed up so well with the chocolate drink.

There's a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top, it then melts down and you'll have to stir it together with the drink. Miraculously, it ended up making the drink even more flavorful than it already is, and really, trust me, the drink is very very flavorful itself.

For every sip you take, there will be like a mouthful of heavenly good banana and chocolate combined.

God I'm good at this, let me host a food show already hahahaha.

Benedict Egg w Hollandais

The cafe's signature dish?  Most likely.  Every photos that I saw posting from Coffee Smith, they have this ordered in it.

Well, this was my bestfriend's order so I just got to take a bite of it  :'(

You know how (most) egg benedicts are sour and slightly stink, because the chef claims that they have to put vinegar in the egg so they don't spread, or something like that (I wasn't listening lol)

I've had really terrible Egg Benedict experiences actually. First, at Whos Bryan restaurant; Secondly at Kaffa Cafe.

Egg Benedict from both the places I mentioned turned out to be weirdly sour and only looked good on the presentation.

They kinda ruined my day lol.  I mean, I went for the breakfast and was hoping to get good foods. What happened?!

Oh got carried away, my point is that I now, officially, hate Egg Benedicts  :@ can't trust them bitches no more.

BUT BUT BUT,  Egg Benedict from Coffee Smith didn't not taste sourly AT ALL.

In fact, it was quite delicious.  And Wei Wei kept on raving, and raving how it was the best Egg Benedict shes ever had.

She then put chili sauce on her egg benedict :3     weirdo.

Fruit Ice Cream French Toast

There's bread, there's fruit. 

The bread is finely dipped with cinnamon so it tasted sweet and soft (I don't like soft bread tho)

But if you do, consider ordering this because Wei Wei (that bichie again) kept on snatching the breads from Pei Sean's plate of food,  saying it was so good.  -____-  She liked the foods there so much I don't geddit haha.

This is more of a dessert but holysheet, the amount of the breads is enough to make you full already. 

Garlic White Wine Clams Pasta

This dish is a complete scam.  

The photo on the menu of it is big clams covered up all the noodles, but it came as tiny little 'lalas' wtf (*^$&(*%&)(%@)@$&

Imagine my face when the waiter walked towards the table with something that is totally different from what I saw on the menu.

Almost jumped up with rage and yelled.

HAHAHHAHA. Just kidding, not that aggressive a person.   Or am I.

My order, sadly, is the worst of all.   Walao eh. I was the hungriest of all ok.

The noodles had no taste at all, they were hard to chew and not flavored at all.

NOT FLAVORED AT ALL.   The lalas were better, tasted salty but the noodles still very geli lol.

Just find my legs looked interesting in this photo.

Haha, I've got really tanned recently cos I picked up swimming lessons!  The reason was because I scared of being drowned lah hello I live in Penang there's so many areas closed to the ocean.  I'm scared.

And I'm really digging the tanned, I try putting on body butter to make it look more shiny and I LOVE IT.

:D

A full table of good foods.  Except for mine, bad.    BADDDDDDDDD I TELL YOU.

Wells others were good tho :3

There's more I want to share with you guys tho:

I've read COUNTLESS number of bad comments about Coffee Smith on 4square before visiting.

I kind of mosaic the name and photo of them because .. I feel its the right thing to do.

Lets see from my point of view.

Problem #1   Rude services.

The waitress that waited our table was nice as a person, looked young and new to work. She seemed nervous tho.

We visited at lunch time, the cafe is fully packed with human-beings: families bring kids, screaming at top of their lungs.

The entire cafe was a mess and crazy as fuck. Still, the waiters trying to satisfy everybody as they very occupied already.

I see no problem at all.

Till we about to leave, we asked a waiter passed by our table  "Can you get us the bill, please?"

Instead of saying 'OK'  or 'Wait'  he looked over helplessly to another supervisor-looking guy, hinting for help.

The supervisor-looking guy then ordered another girl to get us our bill.

From what I see lah, okay, just plain assumptions of mine: 

The waiters are not rude.  They're awkward.  Coffee Smith seemed to hired students to wait tables

And most of them looked as if they didn't have any working experience, so when they were thrown questions, or asked services, they got nervous and didn't know how to react. The guy looked quite funny when I asked for the bill lol why?

Problem #2  Foods take forever to be served.

HA-HA.   You are never gonna believe me, but, 

Our foods were served within 10 minutes.   within 10 minutes.   I mean it.

Even the time we took considering what to order was longer than the food took.

Here's it went:

While handing our order sheet to the waitress, I was really hungry so I asked 

"請問會很久嗎? 大概要多久?"

Then she answered

"呃 就等一會兒 可以嗎"       of course can lah arbo. 

Being the usual me, once she left the table I threw my camera at Weiwei saying "eh eh 幫我拍照"    

Notice the 2 photos above?  Yep, taken at this time.   She took only 3 photos, they turned out okay.

So I transferred them immediately to my phone, wanted to edit and upload on Insta before the foods come.

Who the fuck would predict this:

At the moment the photos (three only) were successfully transferred,   the foods came.

LEHMA I DIDN'T EVEN GET TO EDIT.    hahahahhaha

-_____-

It was really fast, we were really shocked, and I was really hungry lolol

Eh crazy fast okay?   Once she left, 3 photos taken and transferred, suddenly the foods served.

Soooooooooo, this problem didn't happen to me as well :3   

Guess I was lucky.

#3 The environment

This isn't any problem, just wanna share my point of view.

The cafe is really spacious compared to other little cafes popping in the island.

A lot of parking lots too as it is near to the bay at Kapal Singh Road.

The cafes faces just right in front of the sea, see? Sea.  Thats why I learn swimming.

Hahhahahaha okay not related :/

OH!! Did I mention everybody in the cafe speaks in this adorable Taiwanese accent hahahaha!!

It is because Coffee Smith was originated in Taiwan so it means their main branch is in there. So yea,

Taiwan foods yo :D

Final exam in 2 days, still I'm up here slacking.

Signing off now, thanks for reading xx
