Could barely wake at 8am today! Was so thoroughly exhausted from yesterday's activities that I wanted to sink back into the pillows and return to the world of dreams, but alas, I had to get out of the house by 9.30am =(
Ate breakkie, changed out and then went to orchard! Nearly dozed off while on the train, bleh. Walked quite a distance to the dental clinic & felt oddly calm as opposed to previous dental visits...perhaps I'd have to thank myself for sleeping so late in the morning that I didn't have the energy to feel anxious? Hmm...
Waited for at least a full minute before stepping into one of the rooms! I had to open my mouth wide, then shut again just to allow the dentist to check my teeth =S Got outta the room, and then was given a heavy vest by a nurse in preparation for xray! The nurse then proceeded to affix the machine to my head(and to prevent me from turning my head, of course) by moving & adjusting the sides to stick into my ears =S For some reason this reminded me of brain surgery which I saw before in a science mag, except that drills were made into people's skulls! Urgh. Closed my eyes when the machine moved around my head for xray even though I believe that it wasn't necessary, oh well. Afterwards, I was asked to squeeze in to another side of the room with another machine, and of all things I had to bite onto something for a second xray!
Ran off to the washroom after the 2nd machine to gargle, then waited a while more for the dentist to analyse my teeth thru the scans O.o A guy who looked like a personal trainer walked into the clinic, and even more amusing was that his name is Sebastian!
Five minutes later, I was called in to take a look at my xray shots on the laptop! Pleasantly surprised to see a profile of my head, which looked quite round, and saw a faint outline of my flesh forming my features =X Actually, that shot was meant to check for unerupted teeth...and am somewhat fascinated to learn that I will be short of 2, so all seems okay! Half tempted to ask the orthodontist to send me the pics, but wasn't sure if that was allowed, so I didn't. Was advised, but guess we'd see how things will go when the time's right.
The ort pushed this squishy minty dough-like molding substance onto my lower jaw 1st, then repeated with the upper jaw. A past skating accident had me worry when he did the upper, sighh... Will be heading back there in a week's time to fix things for good! At least everything went well, apart from some of the yucky molding material which remained in my mouth until I had the opportunity to leave for the washroom... again!
Had lunch w/mom at the foodcourt, then bought this yoghurt smoothie which tasted like the panna cotta berry sauce XD Shopped a little at paragon, & went down to the basement in search of the supermarket! Came across canele patisserie, so I took a look at their macarons which I didn't buy in the end since I wasn't hungry. The macs looked kinda small...perhaps they are as "big" as the medium sized basic macs which I made before? From my experience(and some research),macs are such temperamental little cookies! Unless a person owned a huge oven to bake many at a go, it's not advisable to keep the meringue mix out for long since they do not hold their shape after a while...or maybe the problem's in using a bowl made of plastic & not copper, which supposedly helps to strengthen the egg whites during beating.
Headed for home mid afternoon, and it was such a hot day ughh. Guess that's all for today. Had pizza for dinner...again! Am so considering to use olive oil to line the pan next round!
Aww you're so cute!!
