New life, new Gigi!

Yep, i just got my braces on today! like 4 hours ago! cant believe it..i was excited at first and now that it's starting to get hurt, i'm afraid to eat..haha.. dont worry, i'll make sure i eat well enough to survive ;)

it's interesting enough that i receive various kind of responses from my friends..and the responses are mostly consistent with the gender. ie. most guys feel that it's ridiculous to spend money for something painful like this..and the girls are all supportive! some of the comments i can recall:

Guy #1: i'll never do that to myself, pulling out those precious teeth, put that metal thing on,then u wont be able to eat everything la..sakit, yada yada yada..
Guy #2: if you do that, then you'll be the same like everybody else..(cant he understand how self-conscious i feel..haha)..however, after some explanations, he kinda agree with me and start being all supportive.
Guy #3: dont do laaaah..too expensive!
Guy #4: wow! new gigi! ---->the most supportive of all..
Guy #5: WHAT IS IT WITH YOU PEOPLE EK?!!!!!!...haha..then he went on and on..which makes a lot of sense, then he said "does she realise how lovely she is" - that's what he thought when i told him why i got myself braces...

on the other hand, most of my girl friends go like:

"YAY, WOW welcome to the club"....haha..and surprisingly, my mom's excited too. she can be very conservative sometimes, but not on this one. so in conclusion...girl friends are GRREAT! no offense guys..and no no..i'm not becoming a lesbian..haha

funny funny...
i guess i need not to give my reasons here..most of them can be understood by most girls, and those who used to have braces on. it all end up in self-satisfaction i guess. Guy #4 asked me whether there is other part of me that i'd like to change..my take on that is no. let's leave some imperfections as they are. it might not look good to you, but others might think the opposites, so you'll never know. on this one, i have thought about it for a very long time and considering what's been going on in my life, i think i deserve this. it's not at all fun to have some kind of metals in my mouth that hurts..but i hope i'll be glad that i've made myself do this.

Yes girls, i'm in the club! :)

Great - we're all waiting for pictures when they're all done! There's something you should know about braces... !

#4 man here...

The reason maybe I am so supportive is as you know I had to have reconstructive surgery on face. It is terrible to suffer low self esteem from something can be easily fixed.

yeah i think that's most likely the reason. anyhow, good to have someone and a bunch of others who understands :)..i'll get the USB and plug adaptor from you later, kay!
