Rainbows and unicorns.

I'm sitting here all metal'd up, thinking about downing some panadol and going to bed..I guess I should tell you about my day :)

Today was fun, filled with surprises (both the good and the bad) and a day that won't be easily forgotten. Why? Cause I got the dreaded braces on, thats why. But not only that.
Today I got flowers from my dent girlfriends Viv and Shannon. I got home-made macarons from one very sweet guy friend. My group all chipped in a couple bucks and bought me a Nike sports bra LOL and then the whole cohort sang Happy birthday in the break between the 11 and 12pm lecture. Gah, I felt so spoilt, for real. Such great friends. +texts that made me smile ♥

They also took me to Cocolat, and fed me before my 2pm ortho appointment. Double chocolate muffin!? Double the fun.
To be honest the process of getting braces put on didn't hurt at all. But now.. hurts like a beeetch.
Eating has never BEEN so hard. I spent an hour an home after uni trying to figure out the hardest food I could eat that wouldn't hurt. DEFINITELY NOT NUTS. LOL nuts. *shakes head* what was I thinking.
I'm hungry but I just cant be bothered eating. Its too uncomfortable and if I bite down in the wrong place my gums start aching. Not to mention the amount of crap that gets stuck between the wires! Gosh dayum, these are annoying. WHO KNEW FLOSSING COULD BE SO GOD DAMN HARD!? What was that? 'Jun, you're a dental student, you should know better?' Oh hells, no. Flossing is off the table.
Haha.. 2 more years to go, people! And now for a picture of the brace face.

Yup, I know. You can't really see anything. And thats the way I intended the photo to come out LOL not a very informative photo. I got ceramic brackets on the top and metal everywhere else. Wonder if they'll let me put coloured bands on the metal ones? If so, mint green, baby!

I came home and after about 5 seconds of looking in the mirror, burst into tears and asked my brother to hug me and tell me that I didn't look that bad. HAHA Such a drama queen. But no, I truly thought that I looked like a monster. Had to fight back the lump in my throat when I looked into the mirror while sitting in the dental chair! Now that I've had them on for abit, I'm alright with the whole metal face thing. and hey, you never know. They might score me a nice nerdy booooy? ;) HAHA kidding. Ofcourse kidding.

Sigh. emotional day. LOL. even at night after lab, a friend that I kinda sorta knew but had only just got to know rocked up at my house and gave me chocolates and a card. KIND OR NOT!? I was overwhelmed with the nice-ness. Don't think I'd ever do that for someone whose not a close friend.

Okay. Should probably stop talking so much

AND TO END THE NIGHT, I shall say, GOOD DAY- BLOGOSPHERE. May you have a happy day tomorrow!

Pre-birthday bash

I'd love to be one of those annoying girls who talk all about their 19th birthdays, but I don't have time this morning. Woke up to my 19th in a rush to go to the dreaded UNI for a whole DAY of lectures and lab sessions.. plus the ortho appointment. I can TELL its going to be a wonderful day ._.
So I'll post some pictures up while I can of the birthday dinner my family held for me last night so that I wouldn't have trouble eating it after I get my braces lol.

Woke up today kind of dreading the whole birthday thing, I've lowered my expectations of this day by oh, so much. But I've gotta say, the moment I opened up my facebook page and started reading through some of the birthday messages, I just felt so much better :) Thanks guys for the heartfelt messages some of you wrote me ♥ It really does make a difference!
Atleast that'll be one thing to look forward to when I come home from lab tonight!

 One last cheesy smile with my uniquely awesome freakzoid teeth..

 Keep chillin' like a villin guys, I'll update later.. maybe post a pic of the train tracks.

Brace face

Tis almost August. Time is going by so uber fast these days!
Guess what people.. I'm going to be a brace face. Yes. I'll be the train tracks, the rail roads, the metal mouth.. Actually, I'll be the metal FACE if I wear my glasses as well. LOL could I BE looking any nerdier?
And just to kick a girl when shes down, why not make the only appointment available on her birthday? Ah yes, I'll be getting braces put in on my birthday in my lunch break before going back to uni where I'll be in lab til 8:30. Then to waddle back home and hopefully not have a mouth too painful to eat some birthday cake.
Happy Birthday to meeeee. *double thumbs up*
I was planning to ask my parents if they'd buy me a pair of nike free run 3+ for my 19th.. but the braces are going to cost a whopping $6000+. Thats the most expensive birthday present ever! On a side note, I'm thinking of specializing in ortho. HAHA. Oh, the money that I'd be making. I kid. We'll see. Not so keen on the extra years of uni involved.
I hope I don't look tooo ridonkulous with braces on. But hey, even if I do look like a poop on a stick, at least I'll be somewhat decent looking in 18-24 months. Ye yee! Positive thinking always eff tee dubs.

First week back at uni, got new tutors- why is it that my group always gets the bullshit ones? But it doesn't matter. We'll make it work, just like we always do, ehy? Going to be dissecting people next week to learn head and neck anatomy :D FUN. Went to watch batman today (which was LEGENDARY, by the way. No joke, please go and see it right now ASAP). Oh, passed both my exams BY THE WAY if you were interested. Well I was interested. Bahaha from what I've been hearing, quite alot of my year failed/borderlined last sem's exams. So all in all, I am for now, a happy chap.

And yes. This has been my life in a nutshell.
Last dent pubcrawl of the year next week. TO GO OR NOT TO GO!?

The Relationship Ghost

I guess now would be a better time than ever to write a blog post about the relationship ghost. I'm feeling particularly thoughtful right now.
The relationship ghost. What is it? Those lingering thoughts that run through your mind as you drive past your ex's neighborhood. The what ifs, everytime you see that persons name pop up on msn/facebook/twitter. The flutter in your stomach when you so much as glance at him/her.
Frankly, I'd like to take a knife and stab your relationship ghost for you, right here right now.
Most people have been through this before. Loved and lost. Therefore everyone who has done so would have a relationship ghost, like extra baggage, weighing them down in the next relationship.
Some more so than others, and some so MUCH that the memories they still hold in past relationships come to rape the next relationship up the ass.
So how much does YOUR relationship ghost affect you? WHY? Is it because you still genuinely have feelings for that person who left you brokenhearted? Or did you make a mistake letting them go?
Do we ever really forget the relationship ghost and give up all the memories tangled up in the messy crap that we call a break up?
Ofcourse, its hard to really ever forget your ex, especially with facebook updating you on every part of their life. Oh, it doesn't make it easier if your ex is one of those "look, I just uploaded photo of the lunch I ate today" kind of people. Technology, what have you done to us? haha.
But in all seriousness. Being held back to that extent by the ghost of past relationships really does not help your situation AT ALL. Sure, remember how you guys used to be, the time you spent together. Reminisce all the happy days you had with them. But after you do that, learn to MOVE ON.
There is only so much sulking you can do, only so much you can hold on to.
Why let the relationship ghost cause problems for your future relationships?
This person you have right now, the one sticking with you through all your bullshit.. Why screw that up.


Ok, well THAT was a post that I hadn't planned to rant on about.. guess it just happened. Guess I'm being way too 'thoughtful' right now. To be honest I just came back from having a couple drinks with friends. THAT might be the problem here. oh yes. ANYWHO I'm all pooped out. nighty night, youngin's. and REMEMBER.
The relationship ghost is a bitch.

Winner winner, chicken dinner

I wish! Haha. But in my mind, I was a winner today ;) How cheesy is that. LOL.

Sturt championships this weekend. Wasn't expecting anything for the mixed, and didn't have much luck with the doubles (god damn it. again :/), but got women's single's runner up. Ye ye ye ye! Beat someone I've lost to every other time, that feeling is preeetty good. Straight sets too ;) Hot dayum.

That was my achievement today, and although seemingly a small achievement to other people, was a big one for me. I didn't choke. I. Didn't. Choke. HAHA. I'm well known for getting to the end and just failing cause I get too nervous. Didn't happen this time, no sir. In your faces, people who thought I couldn't do it.

Kind of pooped out in the finals though. Guess I'd have to gym/train/play as much as she does to beat her. Pssht, focus on studying, Jun. There are more important things than badminton in life.

If only the prizes were better. sigh. Of all the times they could have given out Athlete's foot vouchers, why not this time?! Guess no new shoes for me this time round :( Noooo. Nike free runs, you WILL be mine one day. 

Whelp, atleast I have a new fluffy 'ribbed' towel and socks. Maybe now I'll finally be able to wear matching socks for once! LOL. Oh, the sadness of not being able to find the other sock.

Heading of for some early morning study now! Making up for study time wasted on the weekend. 2 more days, *hyperventilates*.

Had a heated argument with one of my close friends today.. phew, it was intense. Sometimes its really not one particular thing that sets you off, the thing you're arguing over might not even be significant. I guess you could say it was me being petty. But sometimes its just the way the person approaches the situation. Trolling will sometimes just piss the hell out of me. Just saying.

Different ways of handling problems, and today I don't think I handled it well :\ 

What can i say, at times I can be stubborn.

Ohhh well. Glad we sorted it out by the end of the day/just then. LOL. Texting turned into mega back and forth thousand-word MMSs. 

You are a cinema.

Its pouring down outside.. and I LOVE IT.

Rain is so good when you're indoors. Although I'm going out in a couple hours so I hope it stops by then. Going out to the city JUST to hand up an assignment. Serves me right for once again, leaving it til the last minute. I didn't even do much on the assignment.. To be honest my partner did all the work. HAHA what can I say, I'm just not very good at reading articles with bullshit statistics and evidence based reviews. THIS WAS NOT IN THE JOB DESCRIPTION!! LOL.

Spent the last half an hour scrolling through tumblr looking at cute babies. HAHA not creepy I swear. I sold my candy van months ago.

OH. MY. GOD I WANT ONE. FOR CEREAL, SOMEONE JUST HAND ME A BABY ALREADY. I want to hold their little fingers, pinch their puffy cheeks and watch them giggle when we peek-a-boo. Sigh. All the things we could do. Excluding the poop cleaning and stuff.

Oh man. I'm sounding like a crazy person. For all I know, I'm going to end up as a crazy cat lady. Breathe Jun, breath. Relax. Calm the farm. ahaha.

Going crazy from the stress of exams. loldongs.

Ah, the things people do when procrastinating..

Are you cereal?

Not really. At the point in time although I have so much, and yes, I mean SO much material to cover for the coming exams, I don't feel that sense of urgency. But I know I SHOULD be feeling it. Tonight/this morning, I be doing what I do best, pulling all-nighters!
Although, don't think it has been the most productive night/early morning. 5am and all I've covered so far are two lectures on genetics.
Either I'm really slow or really stupid. HAHA. Procrastinating ofcourse. You know what the problem is? I keep picking up the damn guitar. I think to myself 'I'll just practice that part again..' and by the time I put it down again it's been an hour. Rinse and repeat. Sigh. lolol.
Oh well. Twas enjoyable. Not going to pretend that I'm real awesome at it, but I'm improving! Atleast.. I think I am. Hahaha. And its what I THINK THAT MATTERS, SO WHAT!?
One day I shall serenade a guy and he'll be like whoa, this is.. THE girl. LOL. Yeh. totes. hahah Like thats going to happen. But if it does, fairy god-mother, it would definitely be worth the ugly callouses on my fingers! :D

Its so peaceful right now.. so quiet. I guess thats why I dont mind pulling all-nighters, I don't get interrupted, no ones online to post on facebook/twitter/tumblr/blogspot to distract me, phone is not vibrating with notifications every 10 minutes.. I can just do whatever I want at my own pace. LOL sounding so much like an introvert right now. *emotime*
Haha.

Aanywho, sun is coming up, birds are going to start chirping any moment. Until the next all-nighter blog post, have a nice day!

Fine morning it is turning out to be. CHEERIO!
