#15 - 5th Visit to Boy's home.

No matter what happened, Mummy will not give you up

Dear Diary,

Yesterday was my 5th visit to Boy's home, I really feels that my relationships between me and my boy A had improved a lot! From a boy that keep everything to himself to share everything with me when asked. According to my previous entries, I'm very upset and depressed that my Boy doesn't seems to trust me by sharing with me, BUT now everything changed. I'm really very happy to see the changes! ^^V

Because of my Boy, I knew a guy from online named J. He's from BH in 2002 for 2 years, then proceed to RTC for 3 years + tagging. (Reformative Training Centre) - A prison for people who are above 18 and below 21. THEN proceed to changi prison for 3 years.

Reached BH at about 715pm hence started early~ Yesterday was a very heart to heart talk with A. Told him J's story and hope he will take this story into consideration by not contacting the friends that landed him here. God will really bless him.

9 MORE DAYS TO HIS RELEASE!!

# 15 - Paw Pet-radize Dog Cafe.

Dear Diary,

I'm so dead because I'm very busy for my volunteering work, japanese class, taiko class and blah blah blah. I realized that I've been neglecting my girl aka Lilo Girl. So my weekdays have volunteers work and some rest days while sunday have Japanese class then followed by Taiko class. Due to Haze, last min my taiko class was cancelled. Hence decided to bring my girl to the new dog cafe located at Balestier - Paw Pet-radize that is newly opened by my friend. :)

The place it's clean and cozy even thou the space it's quite small compared to doggie style cafe. However, I preferred this cafe than doggiestyle because doggiestyle cafe are too far, dirty, very commercialized, unfriendly staff, expensive and not-nice food. But this cafe's staff are very loving towards dogs, food are cheaper then other dog cafes and it's NICE! Visit their website for more details? https://www.facebook.com/pawpetradise 

Oh, my girl love the food there only cost about $4.90 for the pork meatballs. Made a couple of friend friend there and KO-ed when she reached home.

#14 - 4th Visit to Boy's home.

Dear Diary,

Now I'm writing about my 4th experience visiting the boy's home. :)

I'm so called got used to the procedures there, reached boy's home > exchange NRIC at guard house > visit my boy > guard house exchange back NRIC > Home sweet home.

Well, this mentoring session is sort of different, my boy A wasn't there because he's going for his camp. Since I'm free, I replaced one of the mentors to mentor their mentees. Location wise is "Block E". The security there was very tight compared to "Block F". I need to signal for the officer to open the first gate, i went in and they need close the first gate before opening second gate. While waiting for the officers to confirm, I'm standing there looking around. I heard many of the boys shouting~ After I realized I'm facing their bathroom. -.-'''

Anyways, played games with them and I'm really enjoyed myself and I believed the boys too! There's 3 of the mentors + 3 mentee at that time, well it's really a big group yea? ^^

There's something I don't understand, I did not see the boy's before and they know I'm mentor of my boy A, all of them misses my boy so much and asked me send regards to him. AWWWW.

My boy is going to be discharge on 13th July 2013, I'm really very happy for him. :)

#13 - Day 12 of Braces.

Dear Diary,

Today marks 12th day of my braces journey, picture above show the different between 14 June 2013 and 25 June 2013. There wasn't a much differences as it's only 12th day of my braces. Well, let's be just a bit more patience. :)

I can eat ALMOST anything now, but I still try to consider the colour and texture of the food and the location I am in. Example: Outside, I won't eat beancurd, veggie and things that is easily stuck in my braces. Plus, it's so embarrassed to hold a tooth brush and brush in a public toilet. Find it really disgusting when the smell of the toilet stink and I need to use the water there. Home, I can basically eat everything then I can take my time to brush my teeth. Didn't eat curry yet but gonna try a day before my dental visit. :)

LOOKING FORWARD FOR MY STRAIGHT TEETH! ^^

#12 - 3rd Visit to Boy's home.

Dear Diary,

Today I went to boy's home again to visit my Boy Q, I started the session at 730pm to 830pm. That's means I finally have an hour of conversation with my boy. We made a huge improvement of relationship! *CLAPS* I remembered during my previous visit, I'm discouraged that he told me that he will vanished when he release on July'2013 and he did not tell me about his background. Of course, I've my way to find out his background without him telling me. But, I really hope that he trust me and tell me personally which thank god for his help, he told me all today. And last visit, he told me loads of lies which I'm aware of, but I refused to burst his bubble, hope he will be honest with me next time. 感恩。

One of the touching conversation with him...

Him: 你相信我吗？

Me: 只要你说的，我就会相信你。

Him: 我很感动。

Finally we exchanged numbers, hope our relationships will be better for at least a year.

May god bless him.

欣欣.

#11 - Uncoming Volunteering! PHF

Dear Diary,

Tonight I'm going to Boy's home and visit my boy, looking very excited now. Wonder if he feels the same way too. Again, Mentor J informed that she can't make it for tonight session with boy B. Great, first appointment was very late, second appointment said she's in HUGE jam and this appointment says she can't make it. It's really my luck to mentors with two boys B & Q. Too bad, some people are just irresponsible. I can't really have some private talking with my boy. :(

Alright, Project Happy Feet Slipper Race 2013 is here again! And, I've already signed up together with my friends - Amy & Huiyin. It'll be damn fun volunteering together on the 31 August 2013 at East Coast Park. Looking damn forward! ^^

Will update more on my 3rd visit to the boy's home on my next post.

Stay tuned! :)

#10 - (Braces Journey 3: Upper Metal Teeth)

Dear Diary,

As many of you reader had guessed that "Metal Teeth" equals to braces, YES you're right! I've my braces up last friday - 14th June 2013. I'm here to blog about what's my experience about that. Well, for me the whole process it's actually painless and fast. The soreness came after a few hours of fixing till now. My name is called > washing & polishing > glue (a very sourish feel) > Metal pieces up > coloured bands > DONE! I've done research about it, many people said that it cost them about 45mins to 1 hour. But to me, cost less than 20mins max?

I didn't know that I actually had "Over Bite Problem" hence I will do upper braces first than a few months later will do lower braces. Estimated 2 months later provided that my teeth cooperate. First braces appointment I decided to do Red coloured bands, there wasn't much colour to choose from because according to my dentist, more colours will be available from second month onwards. Looking forward for PINK coloured bands. Yipee Ya Ya!

Today was actually day 5 of my braces, it's still very sore and couldn't really bite food. Hence, soft food is my menu now. Kind of slimming down motivation yea? I lost 1kg+ now. JIAYOU!!

A picture of my teeth before Braces:

A picture after braces:

The reason why my teeth was so yellowish and unhealthy looking, NOT because I didn't brush my teeth properly etc. I was seriously lack of calcium for my tooth, hence my teeth were seriously brittle than those white parts were filled up from dentist. Therefore, please understand yea? :)
