Missing...

I miss my BRACES!! I got my braces off almost a year ago. To be exact on 25th June 2011, my upper braces was removed and on 16th July I got the below ones removed. So on 16th July I was braces-free!! Yippie... Hehehe... But now, I miss wearing braces. Nak pakai balik boleh tak? ~otak kate: boleh. sediakan je rm2000.~ Hua, hua..! :'(

Shahir~ He wore braces, then had it remove. After a while, i realised that he wears it again. Kenapakah? Nak jugak!! He's one of the reasons why i wanted to wear braces again. I miss them!! :'(

I miss the cuteness of wearing braces... (cute ke? perasan lebey ;-P)

I miss the feeling of having 'something' in my mouth (totally illogical ;p)

I miss the students' stare at my braces (hahahah!!)

What I don't miss 

- when food got stuck between the braces

- the pain when the dentist changed the band. (sakit wooo...)

- the inability to bite an apple, a pear and the same fruit species (unless if they are sliced)

Not many of my friends realised that I wore braces. So they didn't even notice the difference in my teeth when we met after a LOOOONG time. 

Tada... Kalau nak tau, inila nama2 parts of the braces. I had all of them except for the coil. Elastic power chain tu yang paling sakit tp kalau pakai yang tu memang cepat gigi tersusun. Elastic tie tu pun sakit gak but it can be handle. Steel Tie diletakkan bile gigi da tersusun tapi masih ade gigi yang perlukan pergerakan. More like to let the teeth stay on it's place while the others still need work. (Do you get the idea? ;-] Hard to explain...) When you get your teeth 'done', the dentist will cut the long wire short from time to time as the teeth start to move to its intended position.

Nowadays, there are more people started to wear braces. Even those (who I think) have good  teeth. Well, in my case, lets just say that i cannot smile and show my teeth because it's too embarrasing (my friends teased me a lot for my teeth. Grrrr.... :-( ) and for health reasons.

Cheezy Cheese

Today I went to the supermarket to get several items for my chicken burger recipe. It includes bread crumbs, chicken fillet & CHEESE... I have never bought grated cheese before. I usually use the already-sliced cheddar cheese. Yang sekeping-sekeping dalam plastic. (Coz it's cheaper)

So today i went and buy the grated ones. I stood in front of the dairy product section for quite some time. Examining each cheese. What am I looking for? The 'Halal' sign. Do you know that there are also non-halal cheese? It's not that they have pig-product. It's just that when they make cheese, they include an enzyme from animal (like fat or something, usually from cow or goat. Coz they make cheese from cow & goat milk) to make it 'hard' (tak cair). I learn this from Majalah 3. (Malaysia do have our own cheese but I never find one. Hmmm...)  From M3, they told that most of the cheese from outside are non-halal. Surprise, surprise.. Kite ingat semua cheese pun halal, kan?

As I stood at the cheese section, i took the cheese one by one and as I predicted, most of them don't have the 'HALAL' sign. But fortunately, i found TWO with HALAL sign. =)

Halal sign. Punye la kecik!!

Tanda halal mcm bykan tanda halal kan? Dalam hati tawakal dan yakin bahawasanya tanda 'Halal' itu membawa erti sesungguhnya ia memang halal. ~Kalau tak yakin jangan beli tau!!~

Guilty pleasure...

Yesterday I went SHOPPING!!! Muahaha...(gelak evil) Yes, I went shopping, but i went shopping for books. I went to my favourite place for book-shopping, BookXcess @ Amcorp Mall, PJ with my dad (my tourist guide). Nak pi sana, mak aih...!! Jem sana-sini. Tu yang malas nak p sana tu. I practically went there once a year. Hahaha... So everytime i go there, I went CRAZY!! There's a lot of cheap books!! That's one of the reason why I like it there. CHEAP books, babeh!!

Reading is my guilty pleasure. Other girls guilty pleasure would be shoes, clothes, scarves, make-up, etc. but not me. Since i was young, I love reading. I have tons of books! (and I have no idea where to put my books..) My favourite author for now is Tess Gerritsen. She writes thriller books. (I love thriller genre.) For now, I'm trying read books from different authors. Most of my books are thriller books. I have only several non-thriller books. (Hahaha...bought it because we need those books for literature class-Midnight summer's dream, Pride & Prejudice, apetah lagi, x igt) When i was younger i read books by R.L. Stine but when i grew out of it. I need a more serious genre books. I also enjoyed reading Harry Potter series and twilight series.

Anyway, back to BookXcess, I bought 6 books. Yes SIX books. (borong, borong!!) Let me remind you, it's very cheap...

You can see there, that there's of course books from my fave author, Tess Gerritsen. There's also from John Grisham and another 3 books are from authors who are new to me. There's also a romance book, Me & Mr Darcy. (hahahah... i rasa nak gelak sebab beli buku romance, tapi sekali sekala kena tukar angin gak kan... Plus it's staff pick, or was it best seller?)

This book by John Grisham was originally RM61.80, but BookXcess sold it at only RM17.90. Very, very cheap. That's why i love book shopping at BookXcess. Most books range about RM17.90. Super-duper CHEAP. Me likey!! =)

Now, me nak pergi baca buku yang baru dibeli... See yaa!! =)
