Treatment Failure

Arrrhhh!!

He reminded me again wat had happened on last Fri..
Thought i can just learn a lesson n forget abt it.. but he mentioned the case again..


Rubber damming a posterior lower 7 that needs huge distal cavity prep & restoration.
- 8th is absent, no support at all for a clamp! The rubber dam is just gunna eat into the distal side of the 7th. How am i gunna rubber dam it?! This is just too stupid. I'm a big dumb-ass if i just follow his instructions.. arhh..

3 IDs, that doesnt work. - this is my fault, i admitted!
Have got a feeling that i didnt get the right point after the 1st ID. Tried 2nd time, not working again. Was hoping tat he'll do the 3rd one so tat i can proceed with the treatment and learn fr my mistakes .. but NO.. i'll hav to do it. He only comes over after i failed the 3rd one..AHhhhh.. stress! Hav wasted 1 hr before i get to start drilling..

Time to fill
It's hard to fill by just looking at it. A huge DO extended subgingivally with just little tooth material left. Hard to even hold a matix band in place.
"Go on n fill it with amalgam.." tat's wat he said.
Took a deep breath, kept my mind as positive as i can, i tried my very best to pack the material in and carve. It was a challenge.
When he came back for a check, the next thing he said was: 'ok, i think this is not goin to work. The filling wont stay long. Next time we'll hav to do a gold inlay when the patient comes back."
Aaaaaaaarrrrhhhhh!!!!!!!
I'm goin nuttttss!! Why didnt he notice that earlier and we can just proceed with impression taking?! We hav wasted sooo much of our n patient's time doin NOTHING! Even a dental student can tell that it's not gunna work by just filling it at first!! There're more work to be done next time as we'll have to drill the filling out again!... arrrrhhh
Learnt my lesson. Now i've lost trust in him. Thinking of a way to escape..

Great that it's Halloween today! A good reason to go out to DRINK & DANCE... ^^

静静的

好久没这么想念你。。
想念你的笑
想念你的关怀
想念你的宠坏

你离开的那一天
我学会了长大
学会了坚强
学会了什么叫幸福

已经很久很久没跟你聊天
没给你一个拥抱
没和你一起吃饭
没一起过节。。

在这一天， 我想送个礼物给你
想帮你唱首生日歌
想送上我最真诚的祝福
生日快乐， 我最温暖的太阳。

TUARAN MEE!!!

Was down in Birmingham with my young uncle-Willie and Jane today, paying our relative- Shin a visit when i spotted this on the menu:

TUARAN MEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was soo sooooo shock! Not that i'm "sua ku"..
I'm sure all KK ppl who saw this menu wil gape!

How da h*ll it appears here?!!!!!!!!!

This is a dish that we cannot find in anywhere else!! Not KL, not Melacca, not Sarawak! Even a Penang- kian wouldn't know about it! It only exist in the city where i grew up. It is the best in the small town nearby. It reminds me of my childhood. Back in old days, i always pester daddy to take us to that restaurant above a market whenever we get the chance to visit Tuaran.

A kind friend took us there when i'm back in KK for summer. It cost me LESS THEN A POUND!


Now i know what's meant by "NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE"..


However, I went for 'Wa Dan Ho' in Birm since i missed it more.. They served SAMBAL BELACAN too!!!


and......... a cup of Hot Milo


Penang fried Kui Tiaw


Willie & Jane


Shin



Shall Crown Birmingham as the Malaysian's Food Paradise in UK!!


i see hope ^^

Interesting Maths

To All Gentlements: All Girls Are Unsolvable Maths.. Even Differential Equations are Simpler!


There might be a way to solve the equations: By applying ASSUMPTIONS!
- Good Derek came out with this solution. Clever!

However, it's not 100% accurate. You can never know what she wants because sometimes she don't even know what she needs. There's probably a 20% of chance to hit the target. It's much more better then nothing ...

A friend said: "When the girl meet the right person, everything becomes simple and direct. No equations need to be applied." This is quite true.. But how high is the chance then?

Why many engineers cant find a gf? - Another friend asked..

It's because half way through your risks assessment, the girl is gone!
You're not fast enough..
So it is better to either work hard and learn your maths super well, or fail your maths and follow your feelings!

I'm pretty sure that many ppl will go for the 2nd choice..

If you've decided to giv it a go, then set your commitment to the MAX. Maximum is not 100% but 40%. A wise man will leave 60% of his time and energy to his friends, his family, his job, and his hobbies!

A message fr another friend:

To All Ladies: Do not set your expectation to the sky. It is not 'hardly achievable' but UNREACHABLE! Be generous to the guys and you will live happier..

Blaa.. bla... blaaaa....

Looking at my timetable for this year... i seriously need to moan or else i'll go crazy!

Mon 1330-1700 clinic
Tues whole day restorative outreach
Wed morning PBLss and symposiums
Thurs afternoon another outreach or else oral surgery
Fri afternoon, clinics again..

This isn't the complete schedule...
Hav got another 3 hrs long of symposium in Northern Manchester General Hospital (NMGH) in some of the wednesday afternoon. Dont even know how far issit fr the dental hospital, how to get there, how long is the journey, etc etc..! Suppose to hav Wed afternoons off for sports- my only time for badminton, but our scl has been so cruel enough to rip my source of energy away.. =(

In the first few weeks, they r generous enough to gimme a day off on Thursday after draining my energy, but weeks later, they sneakily fit in a whole day schedule again with Oral Surgery as the start of the day! Clever! Giving me some sweets b4 slaughtering me..

My heart sinks deeper seeing some of my Fri mornings are occupied by either Oral medicine, oral surgery or Dental Casualty ...

The worst worst day wil b one of the Friday which i'm having:

9-1230 Oral Med
1330-1700 clinic

AND THEN....

1800-2100 MRI -hospital casualy!!!!!

Arrrrrh!!! i'm so gunna jump off the window!!!

24hrs a day is just too short! It's not enough. How am i gunna hang out with friends? When can i be a lazy worm, hide in my comfy bed, just stare at the ceiling, do nothing? Where can i dig out some time to watch some therapeutic dramas or listen to my favourite songs? What abt travelling? Do i still have the time and energy to explore? What about getting into a rltshp? I barely have enough time for my family, my friends, and myself, what's more towards sumone tat might need more of my attention? hm... forget abt it.

I know i shouldnt b complaining. I know many people working out there who have to work 7 days a week. I know medics are far more busier then us, so i should be thankful. I know i should be prepared to sacrifice. I hav even swear to my parents tat i'll forgo anything, including my life just to serve n treat ppl...

I'm not regretting.. I'm happy tat i'm still inching my way towards my paradise. I'm just feeling a lil tired.. So for now.. let me whine.. let me release all my hidden load.. let me sort myself out and i'll b back to the same ol' happy gal before dawn..

Fragrant Rice

Thank you so much to Dave for introducing such a wicked song!! It is soooo meaningful tat i cant resist to blog about it at 5 in the MORNING, sacrificing my precious beauty sleep! It reminds me of my childhood, my home, my school, my friends... EVERYTHING!


Below is the English translation:

"Fragrant Rice" lyrics

Composer: Jay Chou
Lyricist: Jay Chou

If you have too many complaints towards this world
When you fall down you don't dare to continue walking forward
Why must people be so weak, depraved
I ask you to turn on the TV and see
How many people bravely try hard to continue walking for their life
Shouldn't we be content with what we have?
You should cherish everything even if you don't possess it

I still remember you said your home was the only castle, you continue to run with the fragrance of the rice and the flowing river
Smiling, the dreams when you were young, I know
Don't cry, let the fireflies lead you to escape, the eternal dependence of the folk song in the country
Just go home
Go back to the happiness at the very start

Don't be so easy to give up, it's just like I say
For dreams you can't achieve, switch it for another and it'll be fine
Put some colour into your life, firstly paint the colour you like on love
Come on and smile, merit and fame aren't the goals
Let yourself be happy, this is what you call meaning
The paper airplane from my childhood, it's finally flown back to my hand now
That so called happiness, running barefoot in the fields chasing crickets and getting tired
Picking fruits without permission and getting scared from being stung by bees, who's sniggering?
I lean on the scarecrow while being blown by the wind while singing while sleeping
Oh oh, if the sunshine sprinkles on the road then I won't be afraid of being broken-hearted
You should cherish everything even if you don't possess it

I still remember you said your home was the only castle, you continue to run with the fragrance of the rice and the flowing river
Smiling, dreams when you were young, I know
Don't cry, let the fireflies lead you to escape, the eternal dependence of the folk song in the country
Just go home
Go back to the happiness at the very start

Wanna dedicate this song to my family members, caretakers, my childhood friends; JJ, Thien, YenJu, BK, fung, Otosan, Angie OA, Garret, Chu, dave, Doug, MenYe, Mun2,Sophie, Doris,LoCW, Sim, Sean, JW, SzeMei, SukTing, FuiYee, XiaoVun, BeeTian, WL, Yen Yee, Janet, Liang, Leon, Sarah, Mek2, YT, WJ, Kwan, all other classmates and teachers in Primary Scl, middle scl, College (6H, 5S1, IS), not forgetting all friends in uni, PL, AL, MW, Rach, wh, Angie, Tom, GG, Oli, both Grandpasss, K.Sau, fishie, Helen, Reem, Rosie, michelle, mikey, KW, Karen , Thing, Sum, Andy, Lin, Wendy, david, Adrian, Carol, etc etc...
