'Tis over

Today is the last day for filing tax returns but fortunately we have finished what we had to do yesterday. Phew! I hope that the next 2 weeks won't be so boring now that the peak season is over. I'm happy that it's finally over but if it means being bored.......

I caught up on my sleep! Slept for over half a day! Back to my old sleeping habits! Haha.

Wanted to post something but my I'm too tired to think of how to put it in words. Har har. Maybe tomorrow. So I will just drop a note (to those who frequent my blog) to say that I'm still alive. ^_^

Oh yeah, my teeth (only the lower set) just got fitted with braces.

To the side

I keep bumping into things in the office. 1st (this happened last week), my sandals scrapped the side of a table and it was real loud and everybody in the office thought I banged my leg into the table. They were like, are you ok? Are you hurt? And I said, no. Haha.
Then today, I accidentally kicked the metal piece at the side of the wall. Loud as well. That was a laugh. Then a colleague asked me whether I can drive. Then she said, better be careful, don't drive into the divider. Hah! FUNNY!

Another week, and compliance will be over. This week is gonna be ****! Can't wait for it to be over but also don't want it to be over. Once it's over, I'm sure I'll be dead bored (or I might be wrong, considering my senior who gives me work almost everytime she walks past my table, which is actually a good thing!)

If you're stressed, like me (and also tired, but can't sleep), watch these (they're real funny & cute):

The expander in my mouth collapsed the other day, well, one side of it did. Apparently my bone was too "strong" and it couldn't expand as fast as I was turning the screw. The results are the expander collapsing and an aching tooth which felt like it was about to "collapse" too! All's well now, I hope.

Uh oh!

I angered my mum yesterday. Reason: for not coming back early from work. She called me and then slammed the phone! Argh! I believe she's still angry at me, knowing her. She said it's not worth it to work so late and that I don't get paid! Wt*?! I do get paid for overtime! What in the world is she talking about? Sheesh! I believe it to be very worth it. The experience and knowledge I'm gaining is totally priceless. 2 more weeks and it'll all be over. What I'm actually waiting for is the nagging to stop, not for compliance to be over. I like to remind myself that my mum was one of those who told me to work in Ernst & Young as I previously didn't want to do my internship there. So, don't blame me!!!!!

Here's what my horoscope on Friendster reads: You may finally start seeing some results on all the hard work you've been doing. Ah! I'm keeping my hopes up. But does the results refer to my mum getting angry at me? I wonder.

Expander

Before I wear braces, I have to expand my upper jaw, which, apparently is too narrow. This is what the expander looks like (Warning: It may look a little gruesome; Not for the faint of heart. I meant my mouth. Haha).

It feels kinda uncomfortable wearing it. Now when I talk, I kinda lisp. I sound like I have a speech disorder, especially when it come to pronouncing words that start with 'S'. My colleagues have been real nice though. When they ask me things they try to not make me answer with words starting with 'S'. I also have trouble trying to eat and not get food stuck in between the metal piece and the top of my mouth. It's pretty difficult.

2 teeth.......GONE!

So, I've decided to get braces. Looks like it's gonna be a painful experience. Before the braces even go onto my teeth, I'm already suffering. On Friday, the orthodontist "forced" some rubber bands in between my teeth and now I can hardly bite. And yesterday, I got 2 teeth extracted. Now I'm trying to figure out how to eat without hurting my upper teeth and also without getting food stuck in the holes which my extracted teeth left. I feel miserable. I took two hours just to finish a bowl of noodles just now. And no more chewing gum for the "braces" duration.

No, Rhea. I've not been watching one of my favourite dramas. The last episode I watched was either 18 or 19 and I fell asleep halfway. I was too tired. Will try to catch up on it when the 2nd filing deadline is over which is in another month's time. Oh no! I didn't finish my WBL. Uh oh! Hopefully your clients will stop harassing you.
