Went to see a dentist in my uni's clinic. She came from Iraq and she's a very nice gal ^^ Frankly, i think she's very kind and sweet. Too bad she's going to go back to her country so the dental clinic in my uni will close down soon. Didn't feel any pain when she extracted my tooth but i can feel it once the anesthesia is gone =.= There's a hole in my mouth now. The feeling is so bad and i hardly to chew it for the first day after i extracted the tooth. Still have 3 more to go~~ ahjoy!!! Be Strong!!!
The extracted tooth. Gone forever from my mouth but i'll keep it ^^
The blood that running like a pipe water. The cotton given by dentist is not enough. Guess what i did.... I put on the last cotton and went for nap.... Genius enough right... Lucky i didn't swallow it =.=


Dental Braces-1st Appointment

Finally i have the courage after 5 years of considering to find an orthodontist. Actually i did find an orthodontist when like 7 or 8 years ago?? in my hometown General Hospital but they didnt 'layan' me =.= Whatever... The 'wait' makes me just find a private orthodontist instead. After few consideration and surveys among my friends who did braces, i chose Smile 'R' Us Dental Clinic for my dental braces ^^

Smile 'R' Us Dental Clinic is situated in One Stop (somewhere Gurney in Penang Island). Frankly, that place is super not convenient for non-penangite like me =.= Luckily i have few friends that are willing to fetch me there. Thanks to JC for fetching me there for my 1st appointment.

Before this, i called the clinic to make my appointment. The receptionist is very kind. On that day itself, frankly, i unable to find that clinic. Thanks to the receptionist that willing to come down from the clinic and show me the way =)

For my 1st appointment, the receptionist brief me on the package that they offered. There are 3 packages and you have time to decide which package you wanted to take. After that, i went to see Dr. Steven Lee (my orthodontist). He checked my teeth and asked me to extract 4 tooth. Actually he decided to extract 2 tooth but i decide to extract it in my campus instead as i didn't take my breakfast and lunch. So, he put on the separator so that there's a gap to put the orthodontic brackets in advance.

Separator in purple color.. Yippee~~~

Actually the doctor said my teeth looks quite OK. Surprisingly~~~ If you notice well my lousy teeth, i have improper arrangement for my bottom teeth (as shown above) and also upper teeth...
So, recently i need to be very hardworking to take picture with this arrangement of teeth. Else, i wont able to see it again after 2 years... Yeah... I give myself 2 years for this ^^ Wish me luck ya~~

6 Best Foods for Healthy Skin

Took this article from Yahoo.Health =)

1. SALMON
Salmon is an ideal food for many reasons, but as far as your skin’s concerned, there’s only one that matters: It’s among the world’s greatest sources of omega-3 fatty acids. Those are the essential fats that, along with bolstering the cognitive powers of your brain, concentrate in the walls of your epidermal cells to help lock in moisture. Plus, in one study, researchers supplemented two groups of mice with either omega-3 or omega-6 fats. After two weeks, the skin of the omega-3-fed group exhibited a 20 percent faster recovery rate from exposure to ultraviolet light. That gives salmon two crucial skin boons: keeping your skin from looking dry and helping it battle the dangers of excessive sunlight.

Other omega-3 foods: sardines, walnuts, flaxseed

ahjoy: well, salmon is one of my favorite fish dishes but itz kinda pricy. Hoever, if i get to choose any fish meals, im going for Salmon. So, CHECKED~~


2. CARROTS
Carrots are teeming with tiny orange pigments called beta-carotene, and when you ingest those pigments, you’re inviting them to nestle into your skin, fill in blotches, and give you a healthy glow. And what’s more, research shows that this can actually help prevent premature aging from sun damage. But is the accumulation of orange in your skin going to make you look like an extra from Jersey Shore? Well, hopefully not. But eating excessive loads of carotene-rich foods can lead to a condition called carotenosis, wherein your skin stops looking healthy and starts looking, well, orange. But the conditions is rare, so unless you notice yourself turning into a prison jumpsuit, feel free to chow down.

Other beta-carotene foods: sweet potatoes, red bell peppers, red grapefruit

ahjoy: Haha..once my skin ever turn 'orange' cause i took it almost everyday. I LURVE carrot. Somehow, i just dont understand why some people dont like to eat it raw. So, CHECKED~~

3. AVOCADO
One study published by The Journal of the American College of Nutrition found that people with higher intakes of olive oil had fewer wrinkles than people with higher intakes of butter. The reason: Butter is loaded with saturated fat, while olive oil is rich in monounsaturates, the same essential fats that make up more than 50% of the calories in an avocado. So why eat avocado over olive oil? Both are good, but avocados have the added bonus of B vitamins, which also help to keep your skin looking vibrant and smooth.

Other monounsaturated-fat foods: olive oil, almonds, peanut butter

ahjoy: unable to find this around my campus. Oh well, i miss my dad's home made avogado ice cream. blend and mix it wif sugar and milk then freeze it for a day then walaaaa... so, CHECKED~~

4. BEANS
Legumes, to be more precise. This is the class of plants that includes black beans, chickpeas, lentils, soybeans, and peanuts. And how do these puny pods protect your face? By smoothing out wrinkles. Australian researchers analyzed the diets of more than 400 elderly men and women and found that high intakes of legumes—alongside vegetables and healthy fats—resulted in 20% fewer wrinkles over time. The effect is likely a result of isoflavones—potent antioxidants—concentrated in the beans.

Other isoflavone-rich foods: alfalfa, tempeh, tofu

ahjoy: need-not-to-easy. easy pissie CHECKED for me too~~

5. GRAPES
Besides providing protection from heart attack and stroke, antioxidants called polyphenols found in grapes can also help keep middle-aged skin from sagging. That’s because polyphenols improve skin’s elasticity by strengthening collagen, the primary protein in skin’s innermost layer.

Other polyphenol-rich foods: grape juice, blueberries

ahjoy: no fridge in my hostel =(

6. WATER
Okay, it’s not as fun to drink as wine, but water is the strongest weapon you have against lifeless skin. That’s why they call it “moisturizing”—because you’re trying to lock moisture, aka water, into your skin. To put it broadly, all the body’s processes rely on hydration, so if you’re not sipping throughout the day, you’re likely to have a slower metabolism, groggier head, and, yes, drier skin. One study suggested that it takes a mere half-liter of water to create a measurable increase in the capillary blood flow to your body’s outer layer. That’s just over 16 ounces. Try doing that a few times a day and you’ll have a face like a baby’s bottom in no time.

Other water-rich foods: watermelon, peaches, celery

*make sure you drink super a lot of water. It really helps =) Just that you need to visit the toilet quite often. so, CHECKED~~
