I was mentally composing a blog entry on my way home and I remember being excited about it. Now that I'm in front of my PC, I completely forgot what it was about.

I've finally decided to have my cross-bite and my crooked smile corrected by wearing dental braces. Today is my 5th night wearing them and, god, do they hurt! They hurt so bad that I wake up in the middle of the night in excruciating pain.

It's painful to chew with these braces on so I've been living on soup and porridge for the last 4 days. Adding insult to injury, Mark brought and gave away Peanut M&Ms at the office. Of course, being the person who can't say no to freebies, I still took some and ate them like seeded tamarinds. I sucked on the chocolate and threw away the nuts. Hehe...

Everyone noticed my new dental appliance probably because I look stupid on it. Beng joked that it would have been nice if I wore it with a back brace for my scoliosis and a headgear to match. I would have been the next Ironman.

Everything about me is big and bent a little bit to the right. I'm big boned and I've got dextroscoliosis. I've got big teeth and my bite crosses to my right. There's one more part of me that's big and pointing towards the right... and that's my heart. Why? What did you have in mind? My feet aren't crooked, mind you!
