I had my first chicken wing and curry puff from Old Chang Kee yesterday~~~!!!

I went to my ortho review yesterday (my braces doc).
He is definitely more pro than Dr Wong. He knows what happen to my teeth just by looking at it! He told me not to be scare of the alignment problem. The most important thing is to BITE. My upper jaw is actually straight in the past hence an operation has to be done to push it out and tilt it down so that my upper jaw can meet my lower jaw. Therefore he says that if i don't bite and don't practise biting and eating like normal in this 2mths, slowly it will move back straight and i will end up with an open bite.

So his advice:

Eat like a normal person, Speak like a normal person, laugh like a normal person and most importantly bite as hard as you can while eating so as to get used to your new bite. Secure your bite and bite it down.

And i change from penguin rubber bands to rabbit rubber bands. So those VVV and \\\ rubber bands are remove. And now 2 inverted V = A are used to secure my jaws. Definitely more comfortable and i suddenly feel like a normal person liao.

I am glad to see all the old staff who move from AH to KTP hospital. KTP Hospital is really good, the system and the spacious area, where the waiting area is like 4 times bigger then AH. Is totally the upgraded version of AH. As usual the service is excellent. I don't even have to worry that there is no space to sit down. And best is i can reach there in 1 hour by taking 39 to Yishun Interchange and then shuttle bus to the hospital.

I also had a proper dinner yesterday: With no more mashed or cut up foods. Less then half a bowl of rice with tomato scrambled eggs, chicken, veg and fries=) And i ate all those without mashing or cutting them up.

Today is 10/4/10, exactly 1 mth after my operation. And i think i am recovering super fast. 1 mth and i could start eating whatever i could eat. The only problem is my mouth cannot open so wide. I am still stuck at 1 and a half finger wide. And my upper jaw, the gum and moustache area is still totally numb. Thats all but is still a good recovery speed to me.

Today, i also had my first nasi lemak, those tradition chinese ones with taiwan sausage and luncheon meat for my lunch. And then Zi Char for dinner at 800plus coffeeshop.

To be able to eat is happiness. 能吃是福 =D

Too bad today really can't make it for the cycling at ecp with jaime and friends. Hopefully i will get to meet them real soon=)
