Smile with Confidence, when it Matters!

A healthy skin, silky soft hair and a beautiful wedding gown would be worthless if there is no smile on the bride’s face! There is a wide range of smile makeovers available so that the bride may be camera perfect on her special day.

Assuming that everything is in order, a dental cleaning would ensure that a bride’s teeth and gums are clean and fresh. If her teeth are a little stained, or if she just wants to give them the extra glimmer, teeth whitening would be another option.

If the bride-to-be has a chipped tooth or small gaps between her teeth, composite bonding is a quick option to restore her teeth. In  other cases, dental treatment for the bride-to-be may include placing veneers for teeth discolorations that cannot be resolved with whitening alone, replacing failing crowns or having Instant Implants to replace missing teeth.

Last, but not least, if having perfectly aligned teeth has been the bride-to-be’s dream but the thought of wearing unsightly braces on the wedding day was a major put-off, the good news is that Invisalign treatment allows teeth to be straightened virtually invisibly with the used of clear, removable custom-made aligners series. Invisalign treatment should start several months before the wedding day for best visible results.

A dental consultation should be the first thing that a bride-to-be should schedule in respect to ensuring that her pearlie whites are in tip top shape for the all important day.

U19 Huskies Basketball Teams Win Season Openers

The Canadian International School’s (CIS) U19 Huskies boys’ basketball team won their season opener in convincing fashion against Waseda with a score of 67-35.

The fury of relentless zone defense lead by Edwin Luo, and fast transition offense created an unsurmountable lead that was never threatened the entire game. Even with league MVPs Mingsan Boulter and Jamil Schulze returning, the Huskies scoring was evenly distributed, with over 20-points coming off the bench. This year the Huskies have more depth to the team than ever before.

Rookies Ethan Anderson and Lionel Kisoro made a deafening impact both on the floor and on the boards, and will be two key players to watch this year as they wear the Husky uniform for the first time.

On the CIS U19 Huskies girls’ basketball side, shrewd teamwork and sheer Husky grit handed the U19
Huskies girls’ basketball team their first victory of the season against their opponents from Waseda.  In a hotly contested match, the returning senior quintet of Angela Butler, Ayaka Harada, Danna Gulanes, Puti Lee and Chanutda Wittemaier overcame a stubborn Waseda defense for the win, 28-21.

Looking to build on their crucial first success, the U19 Huskies girls’ team will relish a number of away games before returning to CIS on Thursday, November 3rd for the much anticipated home game opener which will take place in the new state of the art gymnasium at CIS’ new Lakeside campus.

Auscham 10km Dragon Boat Race: Saturday August 20th

Text and photo by Anna Sinclair

The Canadian Dragons 20 person team entered the most grueling event of the year….the Auscham 10km Race on August 20th.

The horn sounds signaling the start of the race and the frenzy begins and the water turns to froth as 400 paddlers dig deep to be the first to round corner #1.

As the boats spread out, each team seems to be at ease and more disciplined as they try to maintain a steady stroke rate and move the boat in unison. Just when you think you are done someone in the boat calls for 5 power strokes, giving everyone a much needed lift.

The finish line is in sight!  Reborn with new energy that fills your weary body, you paddle to the finish line. Drained, satisfied, happy and feeling alive, you congratulate your team mates and think to yourself… it was all worth it!

A big thank you goes to Auscham and all the volunteers for organizing another fabulous 10km event.  We will definitely see you next year! The Canadian Dragons finished 11th overall in a time of 1 hour and 10 minutes.  

We are at the start of our season and are looking for new members.  We welcome experienced and beginner paddlers. Come and join us for a practice, Saturday at 4:00pm and Sunday at 10:00am, Kallang Riverside Park (please arrive 20 minutes before the practice time).
