Yesterday, I went back for my dental appointment. I had a loose bracket that was fixed and Dr. How also changed the wires for my lower teeth with thicker wire. After the session, I asked him how long more will I have to wear my braces... and his answer SHOCKED me!!!

Initially, he said 6 more months... so ok...
Then this time round, he said 9 to 12 more months!!!
Cos apparently, there's a lot more to be fixed!!!

So damn depressing lor... why so long one!!! :(

I've been neglecting this blog of mine because I think I'm bored with the design. Been hunting high and low for a nicer looking one but can't seemed to find any that I like. Enquired about a professional designed blog design and got the shock of my life that a basic one cost SGD$950!!!

So anyway, here's an update on our project; code named HIP (Home Improvement Plan) which Hb and I have been working on.

The latest addition to our home is the dining set from Monzio Italy; full marble piece in white including the base. For chairs, we chose 4 black-coloured chairs and 2-white ones for contrast.

The huge smiling Buddha photo was from Houz Depot... comes with the frame as well which coincidentally matches all our furniture colour. The shaggy black carpet was also from Houz Depot so that the chairs don't move around noisily. And so, our home now has a set of 3 colours at a glance: White, Black & Brown. :-)

We also changed the carpet in the living room to a shiny, furry carpet. Think the lighting made it looked black in this photo but in actual fact it is in shades of brown and is ultra soft!

Next to-do in our list is the guest toilet renovation... :-)
