Happy Chinese New Year, everyone!

Can't believe it's Chinese New Year already! Today is quite an eventful day as India is also having their own Republic Day celebration and guess what, it's a public holiday in Australia too!  

Today the weather is unusually nice- pretty sunny but still cold.  I guess it's a good start of Ox year. Hope everyone will have a bullish and prosperous year ahead!  

I got my renewed passport today.  Compare the photos on the new passport to the old one, I have indeed aged a fair bit and I look UGLIER! Sighhh.  It's all the stupid new rules about keeping a stern, unhappy face..  At least I had a small grin in my previous one which brightened up my face a little.  The photo on my new passport looks dreadful and 80% dead. (Excuses, excuses, I just can't face the fact that I am uglier, that's all!!)

I am really hoping my Invisalign will perform some miracle and make me prettier again in 10.5 months time!!

    Oh, that's poppycock, because I think you are very pretty. Seriously. I understand what you are talking about those passport pictures though. I worked at Walgreens and it was my job to take passport photos. Imagine telling people they can't smile in a photograph. lol The confused and peeved off looks I would get! lol
    I usually just let them grin, and not smile with their teeth. It adds some kinda life to the face.

  2. I wanted to grin too but the machine kept on saying something like 'this is not a valid passport photo!' I think they must have some detection stuff going on with the smile line!

    You have an interesting job. At least you get to meet different people all the time! :)

  5. Hey Yen. £1475 doesn't include xray or retainer but it includes everything else. Are you based in Birmingham?

  6. I don't know the exact figure- xray is around £50 and retainer is around £300 I think. Email me if you're interested (invisalign.london@gmail.com) then I can refer you and we both get free teeth whitening! :)
