braces

1st June 2011, Wednesday
Just remembered my odd dream – the diagnosis was left leg thinking/acting like it’s the right leg. Don’t ask me how that’s possible.
To “treat” that condition, I had powdered Olanzapine (schizophrenic medication) in a little box strapped around my left ankle – every time my leg acts up, I had to shake my leg to dispense the powder.
I think I’m working too hard.
:P

Watched Pride & Prejudice again – balls & social dancing seems fun! Love the courtship (minus the women’s total dependency on marriage for survival). Really love that era (in movies – I think I’d die living in that era but Julie says we would have servants *haha*) Gushing over Pride & Prejudice with Julie!
:D

My donation’s tax rebate (you get 1/3 of the total you’ve paid out, pretty good, huh?) was speedy, I think it’s been processed and approved within 2 weeks or so! Now if only I’d hear back from the justice department – it’s been more than 20 days now.

Also got sent some photos of these two cutie pies!

Orthodontist says braces can come off! Wowee! That was pretty quick. So much earlier than expected.
Mugshot; braces

In the past 12 months, poor NZ has been hit in all ways! Now it’s a tornado?? Auckland?? Death??
:bum:

Many 3′s this year.
28th May is my 3rd year “anniversary” here in NZ, god-daughter turned 3 today and your truly is turning 30 in October! *gasp!*
Well, frankly I think my 20s were not too great…there are things that I wished never happened but those are also the things which brought me to where I am today – here’s looking forward to a better decade!

Delayed video – because I didn’t know how to edit clips. N00b.
:roll:

I recorded the first part (obviously) when I still had my braces on, on the day when I was told by my orthodontist that they are coming off…soon. The second half was done just earlier. I HAD to because the first video didn’t have a proper ending (yes, the ending now is “da bomb” :P )

So here it is – FeR talking about her “failed” orthodontic treatment.

I actually added annotations using YouTube but it’s not showing – except when I’m in “Edit Annotations” mode. Odd. This video is so plain without the annotations.
*sigh*

Okay. Apparently the annotations won’t show if you insert any of them right at the very start of a video or if the timing of the last annotations goes RIGHT to the end of your video. It messes it up. I shifted the first annotation to start showing 1sec later and voila! It works. Yay!

2nd March 2011, Wednesday Say goodbye to my CNY-themed ligatures and hello to some brighter colours!

I still alternate [...]
