I've finally had my braces taken out today, as compared to my other friends, this was one year overdue. (Thanks to CCA, commitments and stuff like that) Anyway, I thought that my appointment was at 4pm (it was supposed to be at 2:10pm, ***k!), and after finding out that I was late, I had to wait for 2 stinking hours! Plus I was the last patient of the day, lovely..... After the nurse (finally!) called my name, I had to go for a shitload of things (removal of braces...preparation of the molds....cleaning (that was the worst)...and the photo shoot (belay that, this IS the worst)) before having to go for some X-ray.

Anyway....my teeth feels very strange right now, like how Limmin describes it, slimy, smooth and glossy, plus my gums feel like they are swollen. BLEAH! Anyway, a week later I will have to put on a set of retainers so it's not the end of my dental misery.

(You see, it went with me to all sorts of places!)

However...I am starting to miss my braces right now. It was accompanied me for 2+ years of my BVSS life. Besides, i am really used to the "white and nerdy" look they "gave" me. It has been my oral companion (sounds damn wrong) for the sec 2/3 camps, STC/ATC, CH
nina, Japan, Vietnam....and everywhere else. Oh well.....guess life has to go on like nobody's business. 1 week till retainers, 2 days till CT1, which is worse?
