Braceface Beauty

There are three people that I can never understand. Edward Cullen, Miley Cyrus, and my dentist. They have only one thing in common. They remind me of teeth. One needs fangs, one needs braces, and one can make fangs and braces happen.

I had a 2PM dental appointment. I reached at 1.50PM. The rule is to not let your dentist wait. Don't provoke a lady whose fingers have more authority than your mouth. No matter how much you love tools in your mouth.

I had with me my Turpin and Tomkins and my iPod. They complement each other very well. One puts me to sleep, the other one wakes me up. But I decided not to use the iPod because I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to hear when my name is called. But that also means I cannot read Turpin and Tomkins because I can't possibly hear my name being called when I'm asleep. So I waited. And waited. And waited.

Finally. My name. at 4PM. Went into the surgery room. Fell asleep on the dental chair. Woke up. Wasn't my turn yet (one dentist attends to three surgery rooms). Chose the colour for my rubber band. Counted the number of tiles. Stared at dental certificates. Observed the brands of dental equipments. Looked at bottles of unknown chemicals. Marked the cracks on the wall. Memorized every inch of the surgery room.

Lying down on the dental chair made me feel like a deathrow inmate waiting to be prosecuted. Without the straps. Less kinky, but nevertheless erotic.

My turn finally came in 2020. Wawasan 2020 was a success. Bendera berkibar di angkasa, lambang negara jaya; rakyat sepakat sehati sejiwa, tiada lagi bakar gereja.

She is a lethal injection of her own class. In 2020, our lips are made of rubber. Our mouths are very stretchable. Our teeth are made of steel. We kiss and kill.

She was done in ten minutes. It was 5.40PM.

I spent almost four hours waiting for something that lasted for ten minutes.

I am not too sure if I will want to marry a dentist.

I prefer to wait for ten minutes. And do something that lasts for four hours.

Because I can.
